Not loving the Sportsnet announcers acting like only the ancient remember the Jays' last World Series appearance.

Growing up with the Calgary Cannons means that I can't hate the Mariners. Go Jays, but these other guys are alright.

Los Angeles man demands answers after wife was detained at scheduled green card meeting A man is speaking out and asking for help after his wife was detained by federal agents at the end of a scheduled green card hearing in downtown Los Angeles in early September.

Horrifyingβ€” Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

BREAKING: Ford government skills training funding β€˜not fair, transparent or accountable’: auditor general Ford government labour ministers overruled civil servants to fund skills training by groups with lobbyists, according to a scathing new report

Wow. What a mess. Field day for lobbyists.

"Ford government labour ministers have selected groups to receive hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars for worker-training programs against the advice of civil servants who’d evaluated their applications, Ontario’s auditor general has found."

A consulting report calls for a "coalition of the willing," possibly to optimize workflows and leverage the potential of AI in Fallujah.

Wait: so the President of the United States shared a video of a fake news report, rooted in a conspiracy theory, that features an AI-generated version of himself promoting a policy that…doesn’t exist?

New extremely loose film adaptation of Vineland and a new Pynchon novel within the same month. If you ignore literally everything else, this is a wonderful time to be alive.

You can (and should) oppose political violence without doing all this, you know.

I don't think it's simpering praise. He was an interesting man. I didn't agree with much that he said, but he was interesting and he was growing, and his death is a significant loss for those who believe engagement can help bridge disagreements.

From an Atlantic editor.

I cannot get over how the entire centrist hivemind is attempting to wish into existence a person, and a movement, that does not exist. You are journalists, you are supposed to describe things as they are, not how you want them to be!

I've had to use Google a lot this morning to find boring financial documents. Every single AI summary that has popped up before the actual search results has been wrong. Every. Single. One.

Palantir CEO laughs about profiting from killing Palestinians using AI.

He calls them 'Hamas' 'useful idiots' and 'mostly terrorists'.

But there is only one terrorist here, and Palantir are war criminals.

AI Is a Mass-Delusion Event Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

GPT-5 is a joke. Will it matter? How the fraught release of the most-hyped AI product yet clarifies the stakes.

GPT-5 has been hyped for years as the next step towards AGI. Sam Altman promised a "PhD-level intelligence on any topic." It's not even close.

On the terms OpenAI itself laid out for its own product, any fair assessment must conclude that GPT-5 is a failure.

Now the question is: Will it matter?
