Younger Toguro is driving this TTC bus.
This is what the people who are vehemently opposed to official journalist accreditation (often now overlapping with opposition to government subsidies) warned us about.
Three panel comic. Panel 1: three witches stand around a cauldron while one of them stirs. Panel 2: one of the witches adds a scoop of pre workout into the pot. Panel 3: the three witches are getting absolutely shredded in the gym.

accidentally clicking on microsoft edge and being given a heavy blast of coworker belief news stories while i scramble for the close button. just three headlines can cause untold damage
Please boost this, I think this Kickstarter looks neat and I'd like it to be as good as possible. youtu.be/usVtLkO4pZg?...
The CBC running a puff piece on microdramas calling them job creators and burying the fact that they undercut almost 60 years of union work and livable wages is certainly something.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
The killing of 165+ students at a girls' school in Iran has also been largely ignored in Canadian media.
As far as I can tell, neither the Toronto Star nor the Globe and Mail has run a standalone story on Saturday's attack.
When I read something like this, I imagine pitching it as a freelancer: "It's a commentary on John Tory. We are good friends, and I'm going to discuss his legacy and his thoughts, but I won't quote him at all. Two consecutive paragraphs will start with 'For me...'. Do I get the gig?"
When are America’s non-Christian allies going to start asking Hegseth “What’s this ‘we’ shit?”
Saw two cybertrucks while I was out, can only assume my place will be burnt down when I get back.
I’ve unmasked a white nationalist fight club in my city: Montreal.
After weeks of work (with help!), I can reveal an Olympian as a member of the Frontenac Active Club — one who, unbeknownst to the owners, brought them to a local gym for training and propaganda photos.
Here’s my investigation:

A few things I will remember John Tory for:
Violent, militarized encampment evictions.
Undermining local democracy by requesting 'Strong Mayor' powers from Doug Ford.
The failure of SmartTrack and the closure of the Scarborough LRT.
Denying shelter to refugees.
It's so comforting how AI posters are always terrible at coming up with content on a conceptual level. The Star Fox team going to Epstein Island – but why? What are the stakes? Where's the punchline?
I really did think the Riyadh Comedy Festival would help bring peace to the Middle East
Prime Minister Mark Carney cancelled what would have been his first press conference since his India trip began 5 days ago with his office citing lengthy meetings in New Delhi that have strained his schedule.
So far he has not taken 1 question from Canadian journalists on a trip that began Feb. 26.
Trump/Hegseth operational security: at Joe’s Stone Crab, a restaurant a 2-minute walk from the White House, someone was having a conversation about the attacks on Iran that were going to start in 6 hours. Loud enough for the founder of @TMZ.com to recount it in real time with his podcast cohost.
When Tommy Lee Jones told Jim Carrey (allegedly) that he couldn't sanction his buffoonery I imagine Jones was probably being a wet blanket, but goddamn do I think about that phrase daily.

Would you say a Yu-Gi-Oh fan enraptured by Alfonso Cuarón's 2013 space drama is in a Gravity Bind?
It's so telling that these people are rushing to condemn "the campus left" at this moment

It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.
Just bookmarking for later, somewhat unrelated: I think he's going to eventually run for mayor of Toronto. He's supporting Bradford now but I think, ultimately, this'll be his political path.
Could be wrong.
