My home run The secondary school I went to in Toronto was big on sports. None of my friends were and I most certainly was not. We were much more interested in smoking dope and writing poetry. So, it’s a bit od…

GO, JAYS!

3. Is he doing things I don’t like? Yes. Do I think things in Canada would be a shitload worse every which way with Pee Pee in charge? Yes, yes, yes.

2. I joined the Liberal party early this year so I could vote for him as leader for one reason and one reason only: he was our best shot at avoiding the appalling possibility of Prime Minister Pee Pee. He succeeded in that, thank you very much.

There’s a lot of Carney this/Carney that doing the rounds on social media - accusations that he’s not doing one thing or another that I do not remember him promising to do. I certainly wasn’t expecting a socialist paradise coming out of his election.

Congratulations, #BlueJays! This is a moment in Canada beyond baseball. The idea of the "51st state" team winning the World Series seems like a perfect middle finger to the #TangerineWankmaggot

Of course this will involve besting the Dodgers and that ain’t gonna be easy. But let's give it a go!

Once again KLM offers me a great deal on business class upgrade. Cannot believe how much this will reduce my stress. #flyblue #klm

Beginning first leg of sad trip to England for the funeral of my lovely cousin Lauren. Ferry, ferry, plane, plane, train. Gonna be a long, long couple of days.

Maisie finds a box. And does what cats do.

Washington backing plan for Tony Blair to head transitional Gaza authority Reported proposal for international body to oversee Gaza for up to five years counters UN-backed plan for faster transition to Palestinian rule

You’re shitting me, right? Apparently not. Tosser.

This is exactly what I was thinking last night (when I was watching Kimmell on YouTube (props to De Niro, by the way). The only way to get to Sinclair/Nexstar is through their advertisers.

Let's hope MAGA heads don't remember this. (Probably doesn't matter if they do, as Michael Moore is a pinko, so they'd never watch it.)

Total cunt. Asshole was also good.

Trump’s War on Laughter Will Bite Him in the Ass He hasn't thought this through.

One can but hope.

Who is this guy? I was a young teenager. Of course I knew who Paul Newman was. I’d seen him in a number of films quite liked him (although perhaps not as much as my mum did). I suspect he was the reason I went to s…

RIP, Sundance. Thanks for everything.

Sad news from movieland this morning. Thanks for everything, Mr Redford.

Oh, and while I'm here.

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn’t a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

I wish the media would stop referring to Kirk as a "right-wing activist" and start referring to him (if they have to) as what he was - a misogynistic, homophobic, white supremacist, religious fundamentalist. Good on The Nation for calling this out. #charlieprick

Big news of my day is that the new Mick Herron is out! Sounds like a book about Washington, DC at the moment, but isn't.

More Jackson. Yippee!

Okay, I confess, I had somehow almost forgotten about BlueSky. Must try to do better.

Supposed quote from Poilievre on joining Trump's war against 'woke, leftist ideology' is a fake In April, an image claiming to quote Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's comments on U.S. President Donald Trump's November 2024 election win spread on social media. According to the supposed quote...

Part 3: Whilst it may indeed reflect what Pee Pee thinks, he’s not dumb enough to say so in public. So, of course, I had to start digging. I don’t know if this is a deliberate attempt to make @charlieangus104.bsky.social look bad or just a fuck up. Whatever. Please factcheck, people.

Part 2: The post makes it look as if @charlieangus104.bsky.social included a “woke” quote from Pee Pee. Charlie’s Bluesky post does NOT include this quote. It’s clearly been added at some point (by Lee Manner from OCADF?). In any case, THIS IS A FAKE QUOTE. Pee Pee NEVER said it.

This is how misinformation travels. A Facebook friend reposted what, looking at it, seems to be a group called Ontario Cannot Afford Doug Ford reposting a Bluesky post (from some time ago) from @charlieangus104.bsky.social about Pee Pee.

This really is quite the thing.

Newspaper stand with newspapers all carrying the front page Campaign 'make it fAIr'

Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training.

I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.

Wow.
