I am quite happy to never have a rep re-recording if it means we don’t see any of the Max Martin songs BOTCHED like Style TV was.

Gonna need those vault tracks tho. I NEED THEM.

The fact that we’ve just collectively decided to ***ignore*** this is insane

Is arsenic in rice something to worry about? What to know - National | Globalnews.ca Research shows rice may be contaminated with arsenic — a toxic element linked to serious health risks, including brain developmental delays, cancer and heart disease.

Oh good, yet another thing climate change is making worse.

“A May study in The Lancet Planetary Health warned that rising carbon dioxide levels and temperatures due to climate change are increasing arsenic levels in rice, potentially raising chronic health risks.”

Screen grab from a Global News story with the text: “Greenspan began her cross-examination Tuesday by questioning E.M. over her use of “man” and “men” when describing the accused during the trial. Greenspan took issue with her initial statement to London police in 2018, when E.M. described the accused using “boy” and “boys.” The complainant said at the time she was simply using language she was comfortable with, but the fact was their ages made them men. “I’m going to put this suggestion to you, ma’am: Having gone through all of the replete references of ‘boy’ and not one single use of man, in complete opposite of what you’ve done at this trial, is that the reason why you’ve carefully changed your language is because you have come into this trial with a clear agenda – isn’t that right?” Greenspan asked.”

What a ridiculous line of questioning. It is absurd to me that this is what happens in sexual assault trials in 2025.

This was v good!

My biggest regret of this campaign is this stupid #debate2025 question:

This looks like a "win probability" graph from a game where a team builds a huge lead then blows it in the last few seconds

A heart with five stripes, blue-pink-white-pink-blue, and text reading International Transgender Day of Visibility March 31

Trans rights are human rights. No exceptions.

If there are any brands you’ve ruled out, try checking again! I saw one that was Product of U.S.A. a few weeks ago and Product of Mexico last week. They must have multiple suppliers. (I also eat a lot of spinach.)

Made in Canada vs. Product of Canada: Know the difference to ‘Buy Canadian’ - National | Globalnews.ca Buying local products amid Donald Trump's tariffs and trade war can help support Canada’s economy, experts say, as Canadian businesses brace for the impact.

If you, like me, are doing your best to buy Canadian but have STRUGGLES (the supply chains! They’re too intertwined!!!), here is some NEWS YOU CAN USE globalnews.ca/news/1099632...

Confessions of a Reluctant Nationalist I'd throw a punch to fight for Canada's sovereignty while reserving and exercising my right to criticize this country. That's a fine form of patriotism.

Canada is a country worth fighting for against anyone who’d roll up and sock us in the kisser, goddamn them.

I will still stand up for my country and our right to decide for ourselves how we want to live.

Me, picking up weights at the gym, every single time: “Ooh! That’s heavy!”

Nothing says “trans women are women” quite like the Venn diagram between transphobes and misogynists being a perfect circle.

Some fascinating things happening on Reddit. 22,000 upvotes on the subreddit dedicated to posting pictures of houses that are over 100 years old.

@JeffPassan CC Sabathia said his favorite part of pitching was being in the middle of everything, controlling the game, knowing everything revolved around him: "There are 50,000 people in the Bronx, and that shit don't start until I'm ready."

happy HOF induction to CC Sabathia, who dropped the coldest quote possible about being a starting pitcher:

Killing someone while breaking the law only merits a summary offence ticket, apparently.
