How to avoid made-up controversy around the Super Bowl halftime show: Skip the SB entirely and read a 700 page fantasy novel.

I'm gonna have a big ol bag of chips and I don't look and sound like a desiccated meatball trying desperately to speak human English so whose diet is really working here?

The whole article is repulsive but this passage is at the core of it. She has no interest in writing books, she wants to win some kind of competition that nobody entered

tough to be both bad at your job and also at being a good person, pic a struggle

this is your reminder that bill guerin was involved in a lawsuit against the penguins when he was AGM that involved him helping to cover up one of the WBS coaches sexually assaulting the wife of another one of the WBS coaches

“you dont have to like or agree with bill guerin” oh thank god someone finally gave me permission

AI enthusiasts keep marketing their product as a magic pill that will make universities redundant. Their strategy: get students to read less, write less, and think less. In other words, students will be better off by cheating the process of learning. AI is the grift that keeps on grifting.

You can always buy a blank one and find a place that does name/number stitching.

Oh fuck they've involved? Yeah that explains a lot.

We are all agreed that Team Canada's jerseys are *aggressively* mid yes?

Credit where credit is due, very happy to see this move by @susanholtnb.bsky.social. All our governments and elected officials should be getting off Elon’s platform— few even get much traction there!

I hope this means all NB Liberal MLAs will also get off X, along with their party.

This is very dangerous and embarrassing that he is a professor at Dalhousie

Most likely player on the Canadiens to attend a comic/anime convention in full costume each year?

I wrote about this. It's bananas to me the guy remained in power but it's a combo the people who could change this either not giving a fuck or simply feeling intimidate by the police. The police, from Chief down, tried to fuck up this innocent man's life. And it just happened like nothing.

In case you're wondering why major news channels keep booking the same (sometimes idiotic) men again and again on their 24-hour newscasts, here's some insider intel:

"Or you know, inherit a family business and use your fake populist bullshit to rise in politics the way only ignorant white men can"

2/2 had been covered up and suppressed in some way because of where these players were playing and who had their back.

That said, I won't be surprised if he beats the charges and still gets drafted in the 1st round.

The McKenna news is shocking and definitely not something you expect to see. We're quite used to these top prospects being coached and prepped to be as controversial as a golden retriever puppy.

With the revelations of the last few years, we definitely know that a lot of malicious behaviour 1/2

If you're of a mind for a fantasy political thriller that goes heavy on colonial/anti-colonial themes, @clclark.bsky.social's Magic of the Lost series is excellent.

If you are like me and can get into any genre theme if it's IN SPACE, check out Mur Lafferty's Midsolar Murders series.

Also, haven't properly pumped up any fiction on my TL in a minute.

If you're a Grimdark fantasy fan, I just tore through @anthonyryan.bsky.social's Raven Shadow series and as I just posted, @justinleeanderson.com's Eidyn Saga is quite the ride as well.

So I finished reading @justinleeanderson.com's The Damned King on the weekend and I am still not over it despite having read another book over the last 3 days. That ending left me REELING in a way that felt reminiscent to reading George R R Martin's A Storm Of Swords about 20 years ago.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Disagree, Rangers need to appoint him GM for life.

Mind if I share some exciting news?

We’ve officially raised over $45 MILLION for local bookstores 🥳

Ottawa advised to choose champions and spend big to build AI industry - The Logic Members of the federal AI Strategy Task Force called for billions of dollars in new programs, as well changes to the way the government procures from and supports AI firms

Industry-heavy "task force" wants the government to pump billions into digital asbestos firms. You know, before the bubble bursts.
This is why we're paying Evan Solomon six figures. (Honest to Zeus, you guys...)

This should be standard for every transit system.

And they should have to do it twice a year, in July & January because the January trip will show the flaws in stark detail.

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

Goalies would use it to delay the game in key situations (icing, PK), Todd Denault's bio of Jacques Plante mentions he loved to do that trick.
