Here’s a thought: American men’s national teams are going to get more and more insufferable across all sports because the ladder of youth athletics is built to require an athlete’s family invest a fortune in them at each stage so demographically they’re increasingly 1:1 with the GOP’s base.
Here’s Nigel Farage when he told you it was all so easy.
Now he’s saying he wish he “hadn’t bothered”.
Snake oil salesman.
This is just another very stupid Liberal decision. You can't get cell service in many areas, e.g., Algonquin Park.
I wrote an email in protest to our useless MP on 25th Feb and she never responded.
They don't care.
I’m posting just so that USA citizens are embarrassed. That is the most a Canadian can do to influence change in USA political choices.
I’m past letting voters who didn’t vote for him off the hook. It’s your system. Fix it.
Jeff Bezos is spying on you to determine the maximum amount of wealth he can extract from you. Tell him what he can do with himself.
“So damaged is the department’s reputation for truth telling at this point, one judge noted despairingly, that ‘the court is left with little confidence’ that government lawyers ‘can be trusted to tell the truth about anything.”’

I wonder if Southern Alberta is going to figure out Danielle Smith has fucked them out of water

Netanyahu: “These achievements are increasing the status of Israel as a superpower… We will reach the kingdom. We will make it to the return of the Messiah.” (Grok confirms👇🏽)
This is what your tax dollars are paying for.
A very sorry result for those who had top quality work on Videogamer that predates the AI slop era. For the idiotic new parent, a top notch fuck around/find out really -- they are lucky Google didn't manually deindex every brand they own, as that's what I would've done
VideoGamer has been completely de-indexed from Google following a pivot to AI-generated articles with fake editors.
Me: When Americans misspell ‘Ottawa’, I experience it as a microaggression.
Partner: How are they misspelling ’Ottawa’?
Me: With two O’s.
Partner, looking at me like I’ve grown another head: ‘OOTTAWA’?
Sometimes in cinema you get to witness a miracle. You get to see an inexplicably successful film that makes every single decision wrongly. Anaconda is such a miracle. It's neither funny nor exciting nor charming nor sincere. It's a yo-yo of tone, whipsawing from moment to moment, line to line.
Fascism.
Just three years after saying 'generative AI will replace the majority of [their] static content', Buzzfeed is in big trouble:

If anyone downloaded these videos before they were taken offline lmk 🙃
New from me: a judge said Edmonton police may have obstructed justice by making a “veiled threat” to speak out about the sentence he imposed in a child homicide case.
Not a lot of precedent for whatever comes next edmontonjournal.com/news/crime/e...
Poilievre said this in his recent interview with Paul Wells, and received *zero* pushback.
It sure would be nice if the folks interviewing him had some modicum of interest (and expertise) in the details around energy markets and policy.
(You'll note Poilievre is *still* blaming Canada here)
Final Chapter and New Blood for me tonight. I hope everyone is celebrating in some way. #happyFridaythe13th
Breaking: the DOGE deposition videos have been taken off YouTube. On Friday the government asked a judge to intervene, said the videos could cause reputational damage, death threats. Judge agreed, ordered them removed: www.404media.co/doge-deposit...
Donald Trump is surprised at how poorly the Iran War is going — but the news media is covering all of this uncertainty and sham-handedness as if it’s all part and parcel of a normal conflict. Every article needs to start leading with: Trump is lost at sea.

Watching Politico get told they're sanewashing shit by the guy they're sanewashing is just excellent. Media cooked. Getting dunked on by the people they're protecting. We are in the post-dignity era of the press.
This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.
Cycling side-by-side isn’t bad behaviour—it’s human behaviour. It’s how parents talk to their kids. How friends catch up. How communities form.
If bicycle infrastructure is too narrow for people to ride and talk together, the problem isn’t the people. It’s the infrastructure.
Nørrebro, Copenhagen.
I need them to take Elon with them though...
Support for slavery and open hatred of Jews never went away. They just lost wars and went underground for decades. Now it's Muslims.
Racists and bigots never disappear unless they're broken by force, stripped of everything they own and humiliated. Nothing else works, not even temporarily.
Puzzling—I was informed just hours ago that Pirro’s office was “historic” in its willingness to pursue cases it might not win
