This is an incredibly exciting time for the organization! At a time of continued attrition across the media sector, The Walrus is instead growing and bringing in an amazing team to further expand upon our audio storytelling.

this really isn’t an exaggeration

Radio Free Sens has acquired this exclusive footage of NHL officials learning that the Olympic ice surface has been constructed to smaller dimensions than those required by NHL rules:

As Chantal Hébert said, folks are missing the climate forest for the pipeline trees.

Carney rolled back major climate policies for Alberta, now! In exchange for a lil industrial carbon price increase and the BS that is carbon capture!

Forgetting the pipeline, this is BAD for the climate crisis!

Did Will Stancil write this?

Good. Here’s hoping that sex pest gets run out of the league by the (checks notes)…Blackhawks? Wait, now this feels weird…

House was too close to the curb for its own good.

Her baby was in the NICU. She was in ICE detention. Before Trump took office, postpartum immigrants were rarely detained by ICE. Nayra Guzmán was detained while her 15-day-old baby was in the NICU.

Nayra Guzmán was 15 days post C-section — going to see her baby in the NICU — when she was taken to Broadview and held in custody for about 34 hours.

She slept on a bench and barely got food. She couldn't pump.

Her story is a rare window into the growing detention of pregnant & postpartum people.

The Cowardice Protocol?

I utterly loathe sports betting and everything to do with it, and even I'm like "Shoulda put money on that".

(Me, burning grilled cheese for the thousandth time)

The Kucharik household is officially ready for December to start tomorrow!

To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period.

Every corporation.
Every Republican.
Every influencer.
Every Governor.
Every evangelical leader.
Every voter. Yes. Every voter.

The thing about AI anime dubs and AI Actor Tilly Norwood and AI music is just the fucking disrespect, this is what your industry thinks can replace you and it’s not even good. It’s not even a thing you look at with dread at how the computer has replaced Man, it just sucks ass lol it just blows

This principle remains at the heart of our work at The Walrus as well. The more media orgs that can take the right side in this stand, the better chance we have of avoiding the worst consequences of AI.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste

CPAC is absolutely vital and if we can't find the (relative) pocket change to preserve it what are we even doing here.

Watching Hodgson’s response...

Yeah, if I drop the multiple viewings component in a similar post, I get a more interesting list:

-Bruce Springsteen at Scotiabank Place
-Paul McCartney at the ACC
-Tom Petty at the ACC
-Tragically Hip at Memorial Park (North Bay)
-Pat Matheny & Ron Carter at Detroit Jazz Fest

On the left: an image of two hands holding up a record with a maple leaf design and a pair of headphones. On the right: text that reads “Amid Buy Canadian, should we “Listen Canadian” too? Rising tensions with the US have disrupted tours, festivals, and the economics of being a musician”

From Céline Dion to Drake, Canada has produced some music heavyweights. But between funding cuts, streaming loopholes, and pressure from the US, the future of Canadian music depends on how we show up now. Writer @touchofallright.bsky.social explores: thewalrus.ca/amid-buy-canadia...

Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen multiple times:

-Sloan (5x)
-Van Halen (2x)
-Yellowjackets (2x)
-Tragically Hip (2x)
-Blue Rodeo (2x)

Handing it to Jared, much like Kleven handed Eichel an open lane to the puck. (ducks)
