"Start spreading the news, bitches!"

If I have to start watching baseball to see a Toronto team do well then I guess that’s what I’ll have to do

I adore this movie 🦊 🍂

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

January 13, 1943

This is going to cost so much more money than they think, and is going to be such an epic failure that it's going to be a national scandal around ongoing bilingualism.

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

Do you have a nose spray to recommend?

Hands off my post office!

HEY @joellightbound.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social

This is not cool! Canada Post is an essential service, stop trying to treat it like a profit-making business! This is the wrong time (it's never the right time) for austerity measures that hit the most vulnerable Canadians hardest.

Autism is a natural divergence from neurotypicality. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be.

Transness is a natural divergence from cisnormativity. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be.

Just deal with people being different than you.

Really enjoying your coverage so far, just wish the announcers would focus their comments on the game or just not talk so much. It’s just distracting.

quote this with your reaction to getting left behind during the rapture

Disney caves. Apparently “indefinitely” means “a week.”

Things could be worse, everyone. We could all still be on Twitter.

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

Hey look, a dead canary.

Have you read his memoir? I don’t usually do audiobooks, I have the attention span of a bug, but Jeff reads his book. It is a DELIGHT!

There were many moments in this piece that caught me: not just Love You Forever, but the portrait of dementia: that terrible place where you know it's happening to you, the beautiful moments where memory is somehow still fresh and unaffected. But also, Love You Forever. That one always kills me.

My daughter sent me an autumn themed playlist she created, it has 463 songs and it’s 31 hours long. I’m not sure I even know that many songs existed 😂

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

Ken Dryden, a five-time Vezina Trophy winner for the Montreal Canadiens and member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, has passed away after a courageous battle with cancer at 78 years old.

Arlington Bridge? Left to rot. City owned parks and pools closed down, while the south end gets the royal treatment. Pet projects to extend Chief Peguis and expand Kenaston are already costing nearly $1b. Just ridiculous priorities by unserious councillors.

Here are just some of the 200 (!) books set to be banned by Edmonton's Public Schools Board following a directive from the Government of Alberta. These are all books we have carried or currently carry on our shelves.

No more banning books. 📚🚫

CBC News has repeatedly relied on Gaza-based videographer Mohamed El Saife, a known anti-Israel propagandist in Gaza, to supply footage and shape its reporting on the Hamas-Israel war. On August 21, CBC Kids News published a video and article, produced with El Saife’s material, featuring Gazan children echoing Hamas propaganda lines such as “stop killing children” and “there’s no food in Gaza.”

imagine actually writing the sentence "Hamas propaganda lines such as 'stop killing children'"

Heh.

Well, guess what rabbit hole I will be going down for the rest of the evening

Well well well.

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe
