actual line in USA Today: "Everyone knows the surest, safest way to get to Valhalla is to win every single game."

Uh... uhm... this is what happens when all the copy editors have been placed on ice floes.

This guy is awarding himself a fake "peace" prize coerced through quid pro quo with a global sports body, and most of legacy media just shrugs in response and doesn't call into question his mental health. What are we doing here?

Can't say what this is for -- yet -- but damn was I good with the pause button.

my God. We KNOW they’ve been killing innocents. Just like 75% of the detainees are not criminals. And they’re rotting and dying in the country they called home.

republicans are the shame of this country.

According to the US Coast Guard, the year prior to Trump changing our policy to summary execution, only 21% of the vessels interdicted by them off the coast of Venezuela suspected of trafficking drugs had drugs on board. The other 79% had nothing. But now we just kill them all.

A map showing the planned cycle track installation section on Kingston Road, with a few-km section on the west end on Danforth east of Victoria Park marked "deferred for future consultation and implementation"

And so much sadness for my little section of Danforth to Kingston road, now illegal thanks to Doug Ford and deferred for further study.

‘It’s not a loophole:’ Toronto has plans to install 20 km of new bike lanes despite provincial legislation Toronto has found a way to install 20 kilometres of new bike lanes while still complying with provincial legislation that places significant restrictions on new cycling infrastructure.

I have so much respect and appreciation for the city staff who are doing their absolute best in a hostile environment to deliver on cycling network expansion for Toronto.

watched this the other day, well worth your time if you care for college football.

Congress and the supreme court gave their power away to Trump, everything that comes next falls squarely on their shoulders.

Reacting to confirmation that the Minnesota Vikings will start Max Brosmer against Seattle in a national game. #CanadianSky #Football

Whelp, it ain't looking terribly good for Michigan in "The Game" today, but you know what is terrible? Everything that Ohio State represents and embodies, except the volleyball teams. #CollegeFootball #CanadianSky

Would you guys like to hear a story about the 'Chairman of the National Capital Planning Commission' (meaning the dude leading Trump's campaign of destroying the White House to build a tacky ballroom)

We should all be sick to our stomachs at the utter senselessness of these West Virginia National Guard troops being shot

There was no reason for them to be in DC. Crime has been lessening. There was little for them to do.

This would never have happened but for Trump’s performative politics

This has "Inbetweeners Reboot Energy" all over it.

OTD in 2016, I covered the Grey Cup for the one and only time. The only time that Ottawa has won it during my lifetime.

Sarah Beckstrom’s grieving father told The NY Times that his daughter won’t recover. She won’t survive.

She was one of the National Guard soldiers that was shot. Her dad said that she has a mortal wound.
