I feel like this curling scandal is shining a light on a cultural tendency among Canadians to approach laws and rules as if they’re flexible and open to debate

In other countries, people follow the letter of the law. Here, people split hairs endlessly and apply reasonableness tests to everything

If you meet someone online and the relationship develops fast, they might be a scammer! Slow down …

the FBI deleted this tweet

might’ve hit a little close to home for the director

It's hard to watch the US men play hockey vs Denmark, since our lunatic president threatened to attack them over Greenland. We're the Soviets in Miracle now. Doesn't feel great.

Swalwell: ICE agents shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good. And the only person in the world who has been held accountable by DHS is the pilot who somehow forgot to move Kristi Noem’s blankie.

I do not get the anti- trans nonsense. Afaik, almost every other school shooting has been by boys who identify as male.
Maybe the problem is that disturbed teens need help.

So good. @kajakallas.bsky.social is all of us.

Mary Brown’s taters.

get the kid in the brown hoodie a scholarship

This boy been waiting to haul off on somebody for 14 years and today he got to live the dream and stand on the right side of history. Friday the 13th is the greatest day of his life.

Exclusive: White House uses USAID funds for budget director Vought's security, documents show The White House budget office is using millions of dollars from the former U.S. foreign aid agency to pay for the security detail of Russell Vought, President Donald Trump's budget chief and an archit...

There are ~90 million people alive today because of USAID. Russ Vought illegally shut it down and now is spending the money on himself. These are deeply evil people. www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...

President Trump pardons Hall of Famer Joe Klecko and four other former NFL players Trump pardoned Klecko, Nate Newton, Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry and the late Billy Cannon for crimes ranging from perjury to drug trafficking.

I'm all for pardons and second chances. But it's a hell of a juxtaposition to pardon millionaire NFL players convicted of drug distribution while you're summarily executing impoverished fishermen making a few hundred bucks to shuttle drugs around the Caribbean.

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

Google gave ICE the sensitive personal data of a student journalist, including his bank account and credit card info, without even letting him know.

The company is also helping bankroll Trump’s vanity ballroom project.

Google is enabling fascism — all to protect its bottom line.

We're splitting hairs over pedophilia. We're normalizing having lunch with the world's most famous pedophile

Welcome to the rest of your life, asshole.

To everyone just now finding out Isaac Asimov was rather famously a sex pest: He's been gone 34 years now, you can handle this truth, I believe in you

Ask Not for Whom the Bell Tolls, Mr. President Trump's mania to erect monuments to himself will soon, quickly (and gloriously) be undone

Johnny Carson once said the fastest measurable unit of time is that which elapses between when a light turns green in NY and someone honks their horn. But the speed with which Trump's name will be torn off his monuments to himself when he's gone will be greater. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

The destruction of independent media outlets and the attempts to bring higher education to heel are part of a united authoritarian strategy designed to destroy checks on their propaganda.

This is tremendous. Take the time to watch it.

Texas — Protester roughed up and arrested for having roller skates.

Trump’s America. Abbott’s Texas.

They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

Tweet from Eric Berger on Jan 29, 2026: The reported merger talks between SpaceX and xAI should not come as a huge surprise. If you believe AI is the future; and that compute is the major problem to solve; and orbital data centers are feasible—then the combined company would be a vertically integrated AI colossus.

hi folks, serious journalist here, it's important to understand that this all makes perfect sense if you've completely cooked your brain on Elon fanboy bullshit for the last decade

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks
