I remember those days too. Everything felt possible and it seemed like nothing could possibly go wrong....

Then some stuff happened in between and now I expect everything to go wrong until it doesn't!

I've been following Leeds United way too long to not expect everything to fall apart! Habits not going to die any time soon!

Naheed Nenshi needs to step up β€” or step down The former mayor of Calgary was supposed to bring the Alberta NDP back to political power. Instead, they're further away from it than they've been in a decade.

My latest: Naheed Nenshi has been a monumental disappointment as Alberta NDP leader β€” and it could actually get worse from here. #abpoli #cdnpoli

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.

As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

Very on brand for an American to use his whiteness to escape accountability

Not sure how I feel about the Americans taking advantage of the fact that their white uniforms apparently make them invisible to the referees

β€œSmith’s address last night is worse than advocacy for separatism. It’s an agenda to destroy Canadian federalism from within. To rely on stoking fear and xenophobia, to attack society’s most vulnerable, to dismantle the grand bargains that make Canada the best country in the world.”

1. Pointing out that the Iranian regime's actions are horrific does not in any way subtract from the horror of the Israeli government's genocide in Gaza, or from other atrocities. There are, unfortunately, plenty here who seem to believe we should be partisan in our denunciations. They are wrong. 🧡

The amazing thing about these reform flag people is the way it's shown how compassionate and progressive the #lufc Bluesky community is as a whole.

I love it!

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera πŸ˜†

Very interesting long read on ongoing anti fascist and anti racist efforts by the #lufc fan base, fanzine culture and supporter groups, set against the ebbs and flows of racist ideology.

I couldn't watch it because of broadcast rights here so it's hard to really know how things looked. Do you think he earned his starting place back?

Sometimes I randomly think about the fact that in the Mighty Ducks 2, team USA was framed as the underdog in a hockey game against Iceland.

A country that, at the time, had a population of less than 300,000 people.

I would mail them to you if you wanted to order them here, but that might be overly complicated given that there are other options!

I dunno if they do small deliveries to Whitehorse, but Ikea towels are surprisingly good!

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Genuinely wild that the UK spent about 1000 years colonizing, subjugating and stealing the wealth of other countries and peoples, and now dudes like this have the gall to be shocked when some people come the other way.

One on left is a black dog and above it the words β€œReality”. Below it is β€œI chased a squirrel” 

One the right is a black dog and above it says β€œLinkedIn”. Below it says, 

Proud to announce that I effectively executed a rapid-response squirrel displacement strategy to mitigate potential yard intrusions.

Humbled by the unwavering support of my family and local stakeholders.

This experience reinforced the importance of vigilance, ownership, and continuous improvement.

Looking forward to scaling this impact in future engagements.
