Yet somehow, they find a way

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I'm not normally a fan of horror,

however

@PierrePoilievre Tamara Lich and Chris Barber peacefully protested the imposition of emergency measures that the Federal Court found to be unlawful and unconstitutional. Instead of pursuing rapists, drug dealers and other monsters, the Crown sought lengthy prison sentences. Justice Perkins-McVey rightly rejected the Crown's request, and sent Tamara and Chris home to their families. We must get to a justice system that ensures the security and freedom of all Canadians. I wish Chris and Tamara a peaceful and happy life.

Mr. Tough-on-Crime wishes the convoy leaders a peaceful and happy life.

I have to disagree, I'd call this an ideal outcome

I mean... I don't like speed cameras and even I think this is more than reasonable. Absolutely no reason at all to refuse.

Last week, as I was researching video game price hikes, I Googled to confirm some details...

Google's AI-powered search results informed me that "Microsoft did not change Xbox prices in May 2025"

To reinforce this point, it stated: "Microsoft raised prices on Xbox consoles globally in May 2025"

America gonna treat legalizing weed like it's the metric system

“If a new pipeline promised to be really profitable and had a really strong business case, there would be a private sector proposal in development and this point.”

Janetta McKenzie tells BNN Bloomberg why a new pipeline is bad for taxpayers and the climate.

Look I think there is a limit to what mockery practically achieves but it fucking rules that the American Himmler had to go on TV to sputter about how he’s not actually under five feet tall

Oh no

This is something that make me furious about the whole carbon tax "debate." The net result for the average person, which anyone paying attention absolutely knew would be the case, is a loss of hundreds of dollars per year. But the CPC preyed on the LPC's massive comms failure, and here we are.

Canada makes some very good stuff and we don't need American brands.

God damn I love sitting through mandatory ads on YouTube so I can watch game trailers that are also ads

I'm just not familiar with the practice of immersing almonds in water, hence the question.

Alrighty then

Ah, understood, thanks very much for clarifying. Just one follow-up question if we have time, why?

I HATE COLLINGWOOD Wolfenstein 3D mod on floppy disk. This version doesn't work. :(

Australians, please raid your Uncle's old PC in his shed, and help me find a copy of this to archive.

Honestly it's not worth the bother.

Why are the almonds immersed in water?

Are they...

...

... coming out to play?

America summed up in one store closure notice.

WTF is "unleash the power of AI?"

If you do only one nice thing today, please let it be helping Rebecca meet her cancer treatment fund goal

Thank god we're not this collectively silly and stupid anymore

Screenshot of LinkedIn post from Yellowknife Mayor describing the costs and consequences of trucks having gotten so much bigger. In the link, he explains the backlash he received for his post.

This is good —the Mayor of Yellowknife NWT in Canada’s far north weighs in on “Car Bloat” (truck bloat actually) and its many big costs & consequences (thanks @davidzipper.bsky.social for heads-up). And like most who dare tell the truth about that, he’s taking flack.
