I pray 🙏 that the rising sun shines down on a better day for you, Dear Friends and family, wherever you all are, and whoever is still left. May you all be safe, blessed, and guided to do what is right today.

Maybe I'll take just five for the introduction and then get up there on my pulpit and commence a' preachin'.

DISCUSSION:

MAGAt SARGASO SEA

Here is my take on praying for guidance. For me, if I can sit still for five minutes, clear my mind, and just meditate, my thoughts will flow. The right idea will manifest, an image of a potential, like a light bulb turning on brightly, like in the cartoons. This true moment of clarity can fade very quickly like a mist, especially in a busy environment like the one we live in.

Remember what you feel at the moment the light manifests. Do what feels right inside. It's when you hesitate that you miss the boat. "Too many contradicting thoughts go through your mind, and you think, Naw, that's too complicated or whatever reason you make up. Then you jump on what you think is the more practical answer to the problem. You do the opposite, and the gift of your meditation goes out the window.

Don't stop at thinking. Feel what's right and act! Take a soul-searching inventory! Is flotsome, or scum on the surface, beneficial or detrimental to the body of water beneath it? Judging right and wrong can only be measured by the action of a person or thing in this reality, but in the physical surface scum, or what one would call what floats on the surface of the water, is obscuring the sunlight and obstructing the life flow in the water below. Right now, it's not that there's more scum than water; it just means that, from above, we can't see the water because the scum floats on top.

WE NEED A FEW STORM SURGES TO DISPERSE THE SARGASSO SEA OF ITS MAGAt SCUM

So there we go, that's life on the Good Ship Lollipop ⛵️🍭 and she's a' sportin' the Canadian flag too, way up high on the mainmast 🍁 above the flag pole, I have no doubt she would do that too, eh! 😉

Why major countries can't agree on how to regulate artificial intelligence

U.S., U.K. refused to sign international document pledging responsible AI development

More than 60 nations gathered in Paris this week for an AI summit that was meant to bring world powers together to set a global agenda on the rapidly developing technology. Instead, it showed that some are diverging sharply.

Over the last several years, the European Union has pursued aggressive regulation of Big Tech, investigating major American companies like Google and Apple and passing several laws that facilitate closer oversight of their activities. Meanwhile, the Trump administration has made tech deregulation a central part of its agenda, promising to remove red tape that the industry says is stifling to innovation.

So when dozens of countries including Canada, China, Australia and France signed a document promising an accessible and inclusive approach to AI development, the U.S. opted not to — but so did the U.K., which raised eyebrows among attendees and in the media...

Canada's voluntary AI code of conduct is coming — not everyone is enthused

Some businesses concerned rules could stifle innovation, dull competitive edge

Companies working with AI in Canada are being presented with a new voluntary code of conduct around how advanced generative artificial intelligence is used and developed in this country.

And while there has already been support from the business community, there are also concerns being raised that it could stifle innovation and the ability to compete with companies based outside of Canada. Advanced generative artificial intelligence often refers to the types of AI that can produce content. ChatGPT is a popular example, but most systems that generate audio, video, images or text would count as well...

‘They put me on there to die’: Conservatives unload on GOP’s failures to carry out DOGE cost-cutting

The budget-slashing Department of Government Efficiency that upended the federal government at the start of President Donald Trump’s second term has stalled out on Capitol Hill, a reality that’s left conservative lawmakers fuming.

Inside the White House, the cost-cutting crusade marked by mass firings and blanket funding eliminations is largely seen as over, two people familiar with the discussions said, as Trump turns his attention to other priorities. On Capitol Hill, Republicans have passed just a single bill enacting $9 billion in DOGE cuts – far short of Elon Musk’s aim of cutting as much as $2 trillion from the nation’s budget.

And now, Trump officials are signaling they likely will not try to pass another package clawing back more funds, with White House budget director Russell Vought telling one GOP lawmaker last month that it amounted to a long-shot given the razor-thin Republican majority in the House and a lack of appetite in the Senate.

Instead, congressional Republicans signed off on a government funding package that included money the Trump administration had advocated eliminating. A White House attempt to lay off thousands of federal workers during last year’s shutdown was halted by the courts. And Trump said Tuesday that he did not like the haphazard way DOGE downsized the federal workforce, saying he “didn’t want a general cut.”

But even if the effort is now less overt, appropriators argue that cuts to excess spending are happening in earnest behind the scenes and through the appropriations process, as it was always intended.

Six House Republicans defy Trump to block his Canada tariffs

In a vote that GOP leaders fought hard to avoid, a half dozen Republicans sent a blunt message to President Donald Trump that they do not support the tariff regime that he has made the centerpiece of his second term.

Six Republicans joined with Democrats in the vote to effectively repeal the president’s tariffs on Canada, the culmination of months of consternation in the GOP over the president’s trade war that has quietly rattled even some of his staunchest loyalists in Congress. The vote provoked a threat from Trump, who took to Truth Social to warn of consequences for any Republican who votes against his tariffs, including primary challenges.

But it won’t be the last tough tariffs vote for Trump: Democrats have successfully unlocked a procedural power to force more votes, including on the president’s tariffs on Mexico and his so-called “liberation day” tariffs in the coming weeks...

Creepy-ology

I did not know that there was such a word, which is a true psychological study of human reaction to fear .

That is the fear I feel when I think of those two fools, Trumpo The Typo and Putin The Puddin' Head. Both are mentally unbalanced, just one is more evily shrewd and sharper than the other. The other is a STOOGE, a blathering idiot; his head is a can of flesh-eating worms. He thinks he's kink of the universe. I wouldn't want to be in his universe. It's OK if you live their way. You get to keep your head if you kiss the Orange Jabba the Hutt's diaper; then everything will be fine, but watch for that city bus coming at you, and Trumpo The Typo is the driver.

My question: Creepy-ology

🔹AI Overview

"Creepy-ology" refers to the scientific study and analysis of creepiness, focusing on the psychological, emotional, and situational factors that cause feelings of unease or fear. Researchers, notably Dr. Frank McAndrew, define creepiness as anxiety triggered by ambiguity—specifically, not knowing if a threat is present or what its nature might be, often resulting in paralysis.

The US economy added a stronger-than-expected 130,000 jobs last month

Hiring picked up as 2026 kicked into gear, with the US economy adding a stronger-than-expected 130,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate dropping to 4.3%, according to new Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Wednesday.

Economists were expecting that employers added about 75,000 jobs in January and that unemployment held steady at 4.4%, according to FactSet estimates. It’s the strongest month of employment gains since December 2024, potentially fueling optimism the US labor market has turned a corner after a year of weak job gains that a BLS annual revision on Wednesday showed were even worse than first reported...

Guelph, Ont., doctor en route to Gaza aid work says he was denied entry to Israel for carrying medical items

Red Cross urges 'unhindered flow' of humanitarian aid to Gaza, including complex medical equipment

A Guelph, Ont., doctor is speaking out after he was stopped by an Israeli border guard while trying to enter Gaza to do humanitarian work and then was ultimately barred from continuing his trip. Dr. Hassan Kapasi told CBC News that twice last year — in the wake of an Israel-Hamas truce deal signed by both sides as part of efforts to end the years-long war — he attempted to drive to Gaza from Jordan, which means driving through Israel.

His first attempt to cross was on Nov. 25, when Kapasi was on a bus sent by the United Nations (UN). It was full of mostly medical staff representing various non-profit organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including Doctors Without Borders, the United Nations World Food Programme and Catholic Relief Services...

Why some Canadian companies are turning their workers into owners instead of selling to the U.S.

The number of employee trusts is growing, although their future is uncertain as tax incentive may expire

Aaron Schroeder's company wasn't for sale, yet the offers kept coming.

For years, the Vancouver-based climate engineer received a few unsolicited bids every month, sometimes a couple every week. The offers were often from larger companies and hedge funds, especially those based in the United States. When Schroeder was ready to sell Brightspot Climate, an engineering consultancy with offices in Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto, he decided to go in a different direction and create a special trust to make all 40 of his staff owners.

"I wanted to have a model where everyone in the company could participate, but nobody has to pay any money up front," he said...

Morning, everyone. I pray you are all safe and well on this Tuesday morning. It is supposed to be milder by morning, with a forecast of 39°F, but I just don't like the occasional snow forecast; I need to go see my denturist at his office out of town. Well, I need to go, but I'm certainly not impressed with the word "snow." The appointment is for 1:30 pm, and that's about a half-hour drive, with snow, probably more like an hour, so I am attempting to get most of my news report done this evening and finish publishing it in the morning.

You all know that there are some days I like to take a rest from the Trumpo the Clown garbage. I truly pray I never hear that name again once he's gone. I don't much care if he is walked out by force, arrested in handcuffs, or taken out feet first from a cardiac arrest, or an alien abduction. If it's an abduction, I hope the alien brought a lot of friends and takes Trumpo's cohorts too. Just one little kick in the shinbone, Orange Pus Bag! Once you get disappeared, I will play this song in commemoration of the peace that has come over the land. Then I'll go out to my Green Space and dance a little jig.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION SCIENCE:

THE BLACK HOLE PHENOMENA

Here is my breakdown on black holes.

My thoughts. I am aware that nebulae are clouds of dust, gas, and other matter that formed from clumps of ejecta from the Big Bang, possibly creating time and space as they went.

My question:* How are black holes and galaxies formed?

How does this work? As I see it, nebulae are giant clouds of dust, gas, and other matter, some spanning parsecs across in our own Milky Way Galaxy.

How is a black hole born? What's the chance that all that dust, matter, and gas from a nearby nebula cloud would suddenly come close enough to begin to swirl around a black hole, or vice versa? What's the chance the cloud will be in the right place for a supermassive black hole to begin its feast on the nebula cloud? Or is the black hole born in the cloud?

Answer below: (Where do supermassive black holes come from?)

My question:

How does a black hole exist in the vacuum of space with nothing to feed it? Where do they come from?

Can a black hole continue to exist in the vacuum of space where there is no material to feed it? Wouldn't they starve for lack of material to feed them? Fact: Black holes are powered by extreme gravitational activity, with a force strong enough to keep the event horizon open and stable around the black hole. With such a force, anything falling in never returns, not even light can return.

- Google Search -

🔹AI Overview

A black hole continues to exist in the vacuum of space without "feeding" because it is not a traditional, living entity that requires constant energy to stay "alive". Instead, it is a region of spacetime where mass is so densely packed that gravity overcomes all other forces. Once formed, a black hole is a stable structure that simply persists, maintaining its event horizon—the boundary of no return—even in the absence of surrounding gas, dust, or stars.

- Google Search -

🔹AI Overview

My question: Is a black hole a true perpetual motion machine?

No, a black hole is not a true perpetual motion machine. While black holes can exist for trillions of years and appear to operate in a cycle of consuming matter, they violate the thermodynamic requirements for perpetual motion because they slowly lose energy through Hawking radiation and will eventually evaporate.

Where do supermassive black holes come from? Are they also born in the same nebula cloud as the stars, whereupon a black hole can gravitationally draw in the nebula material around it to form a galaxy?

- Google Search -

🔹AI Overview

My question: Where do black holes come from?

Black holes are primarily formed by the gravitational collapse of massive stars at the end of their lives, which can result in a supernova explosion. When a star much larger than the Sun runs out of fuel, its core collapses, compressing mass into an extremely compact space.

- Google Search -

🔹AI Overview

My question: Where are the massive stars that form a black hole born?

Massive stars destined to become black holes are born within dense, cold molecular clouds and stellar nurseries located in the spiral arms of galaxies, or in the high-density environment of the early universe. These stars typically require at least 20–25 times the mass of the Sun to trigger a supernova that collapses into a black hole.

So even black holes have their humble beginnings in a nebula nursery and one hell of a metamorphosis. Some remnants can still be seen today, like the "Butterfly Galaxy." Just insert "Butterfly Galaxy" in Google Search for an image.

My question: Quantum mechanics postulates that information is never lost, regardless of changes to its form. What happens to information that enters a black hole?

I have entertained the idea that information trapped in a black hole would be like storing information in a master supercomputer memory bank. Well, how do you like that? I wasn't very far from being spot on with that one.

The answer to my question: Based on recent developments in quantum gravity, what happens to information that falls into a black hole?

- Google Search -

🔹AI Overview

Recent developments in quantum gravity, particularly since 2019, strongly support the idea that information falling into a black hole is not destroyed, aligning with the concept that black holes act as a memory bank or a holographic data storage device.

This means that while information seems to vanish, it is actually encoded in the outgoing Hawking Radiation or imprinted on the event horizon, allowing it to be preserved and potentially recovered.

My question: Evolution of Consciousness

The evolution of consciousness is theorized to have emerged as a survival advantage, moving organisms beyond simple reflexes to enable flexible, planned, and internally guided behavior, likely linked to nervous system complexity, especially the neocortex in mammals. Theories suggest it allows for better sensory integration, global information processing, self-awareness, and goal-directed actions, potentially starting in early bilaterians and advancing with brain structures, though some view it as a quantum phenomenon or an evolutionary byproduct.

Ontario policing inspector announces provincewide look at how police, boards can protect against corruption

Announcement follows arrest of 7 Toronto police officers, 1 retired officer

Ontario's inspector general of policing will conduct a provincewide independent review of police in the wake of a corruption scandal involving more than half a dozen Toronto police officers. Ryan Teschner said incidents of corruption “understandably shake public trust” and a thorough independent investigation is needed to answer the public’s questions.

“People most often encounter police at moments of crisis, when they are frightened, injured, grieving or in immediate danger,” he said. “In those moments, public trust is not abstract. It determines whether people will seek help, whether they will cooperate, tell the truth and accept protection." ...

Bodies of 3 men who worked for Vancouver-based Vizsla Silver Corp. have been identified

Jaime Castañeda said he identified the body of his 43-year-old geologist brother on Sunday by viewing photographs presented to him by officials at the federal attorney general's local headquarters in the coastal Mexican city of Mazatlán, in the northwestern state of Sinaloa.

José Manuel Castañeda Hernández was working for Vancouver-based mining company Vizsla Silver Corp. when he was kidnapped on Jan. 23, along with nine other employees, from Concordia, a municipality that sits about 50 kilometres east of Mazatlán.

To attract more doctors, Grand Forks commits to covering medical clinic costs

City spending local tax dollars to shore up access to primary care

The City of Grand Forks in B.C.'s West Kootenay region has launched a one-year pilot program that uses local tax dollars to help recruit and retain doctors, a role typically handled by the provincial health system. The city has set aside $125,000 to help cover fixed operating costs at the local medical clinic, including rent, utilities and licensing fees.

Grand Forks’ move comes as many communities across British Columbia struggle to ensure residents have access to regular primary care. Despite provincial efforts to connect patients with family doctors, access gaps remain, particularly in rural and smaller communities, putting pressure on local governments to find solutions...

WHY DOESN'T JACK-ASS RUSTY FENDER FORD TRY THIS INSTEAD OF STEALING FEDERAL FUNDS ISSUED FOR HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN ONTARIO, CLOSING CLINICS, AND CHASING OVERWORKED DOCTORS OUT OF THE PROVINCE?

I would still much appreciate an accounting of what happened to Total New Federal Funding: The agreement provides roughly $8.4 billion in new federal funding to Ontario over 10 years to improve health care, including a $776 million immediate one-time Canada Health Transfer (CHT) top-up. That was only two years ago. I guess it only takes a few key strokes to make 8.4 billion dollars disappear. CARNEY! You're looking to put corporate thieves behind bars, get to work.

🔹AI Overview

Question | Feb. 2026: Is Ontario Hiring american doctors, if so, why are they closing clinics and still short of doctors?

As of February 2026, Ontario is actively hiring and fast-tracking U.S.-licensed doctors to address a severe physician shortage, including new immigration streams for foreign doctors launched in early 2026. However, the province continues to struggle with a shortage and clinic closures due to a high volume of retirements, an aging population, and administrative hurdles that outpace current recruitment efforts.

Let us all pray that this is a begining
