Starting a war in the Middle East to distract from the Epstein files.

Sadly, not only are the #USA and #Israel not signatories to the Rome Statute, the US passed a specific law against the ICC's mandate and jurisdiction. Plus the #ICC has still not properly integrated the Crime of Aggression into its business, and no cases based on it have ever been initiated. #Iran

Or supporting actions that are illegal under both US and international law. One could also point out that the Iranian nuclear program was restricted until Trump abandoned the earlier agreement.

The Political Lean of Pro Sports Using publicly available voter registration data, this analysis provides the first systematic, league-by-league examination of political partisanship among professional athletes in the United States.

Correct. I should have linked to the source but here it is: votehub.com/2026/01/20/t...

Flavor Flav offers to host Vegas celebration for U.S. women’s hockey team The United States’ Olympic gold medal-winning hockey team might not be attending Tuesday night’s State of the Union address, but they still could get their victory celebration.

No offence to Denver but I’d probably pick Vegas with Flavor Flav instead.

Tell me why you're considering watching SOTU and I'll suggest a novel to read instead.

I think that’s because this is based on registered American voters, which would presumably exclude many Latino players

Title: The party registration breakdown of the "Big Five" leagues Series of pie charts representing the percentage of a league’s athletes registered to each US political party. NHL is 43.9% Republican, 48.6% independent, 5.6% Democrat, 1.9% other

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." - MLK Jr.

Like are you fucking kidding me.

Kinda amazing that Trump shits on Canada and Mexico every day, and there's the Mexican-American captain of Canada's Toronto Maple Leafs, Auston Matthews, standing behind him as he defiles an Olympic Gold Medal

He hates your mother and your fans Auston Matthews but - you do you: be a collaborator

We welcome the BC Human Rights Commissioner's “Un(media)ted: Report of the Inquiry into the exclusion of media from the April 2023 Hastings decampment.” It asks the CAJ to develop training on press freedom for law enforcement. We've made this offer in the past. It's a challenge we gladly accept.

Just a reminder that Canadian fans massively subsidize American NHL teams. Just thinking about that today...

The NHL is a massive re-distribution scheme that extracts money from Canadians and sends those funds to unsuccessful southern American businesses.

A Thunder Bay police officer crossed his superior, calling out behaviour that a court of law has found to be "militantly illegal."

This is the story of how the police fought back and suppressed that story.

Dear Canadian media: It is highly probable that Donald Trump will say something offensive and unhinged about Canada at the SOTU today. Can we please, for once, not take the bait? We have limited resources and he’s causing so many other harms that deserve more public attention. Don’t feed the trolls.

Backlash mounts to Bafta N-word controversy as Jamie Foxx and Wendell Pierce criticise outburst Foxx calls Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson’s shouts at the film awards ceremony ‘unacceptable’, while Sinners’ production designer criticises Bafta’s ‘throwaway’ apology

"Black people are just supposed to be ok with being disrespected and dehumanised so that other people don’t feel bad.”

The BAFTA response and half-hearted apology were terrible, especially "if you were offended."

“Women don’t need to learn how to do AI. Women need to recognize they’ve already been doing what AI does—for free, with no credit—since the beginning of civilization.”

"A reminder that, when CBC’s Andi Petrillo, Anastasia Bucsis and Kurt Browning talk about what a lovely evening it is in Verona for this closing ceremony, they’re not actually there. The commentating for all of the sports during these Games – except for hockey – was done remotely out of CBC’s headquarters in Toronto, a practice that began with the 2020 (postponed to 2021) and 2022 Games because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and has endured because of budget restraints."

My colleague @simonhoupt.bsky.social with a reality check about the CBC's coverage of the closing ceremony...

Um, I think you’re a little too early, guys.

Who wouldn’t?

I have so many questions about this. (your high school job, not the squeamish dads)

This will haunt me for weeks.
