This is the worst I've seen. I'm in Ear Falls ON, smoky, but not as bad as Winnipeg.

It’s a good thing Winnipeg is run by a bunch of people owned by car dealers and greenfield developers, otherwise we might experience nice things that challenge people’s preconceived notions.

Probably hidden in Mar-a-Lago’s golden bathrooms along with the other stolen confidential files, maybe even attempted to be flushed down with the Epstein files

Didn’t Take Long To Reveal The UK’s Online Safety Act Is Exactly The Privacy-Crushing Failure Everyone WarnedΒ About Well, well, well. The β€œage assurance” part of the UK's Online Safety Act has finally gone into effect, with its age checking requirements kicking in a week and a half ago. And what do you know? It's turned out to be exactly the privacy-invading, freedom-crushing, technically unworkable disaster that everyone with half a brain predicted it would be. Let's start with the most obvious sign that this law is working exactly as poorly as critics warned: …

my favorite bluesky arguments are the long drawn-out ones where person a responds via direct reply and person b exclusively answers through quote-posts. it's like seeing two people arguing on the street with one person facing sideways and shouting into the open door of a baskin robbins

The Bombers nearly bungled it but still come away with a win by virtue of being the less bad team tonight (and 2-3 players carrying the team on their backs)

It’s fair to criticize Jefferson over the last couple of seasons because he shows he can still dominate a game like this, and one wishes he could do it more often than not

Incredibly stupid throw. Like that shouldn’t have even been an option on the play call. 5’8” WR vs 6’2” DB? Why even try that at all, let alone on a drive intended to kill the clock and make it a two-possession game?

I mean, Argos are getting away with holding on every play, but the only thing prevent defence does is prevent wins

Heartbreaking: having to agree with Luke Willson with how stupid the Bombers have come out this half in their secondary coverage

Kickoff and punt return TDs also a very good sign

Scoring a TD on offence, defence, and special teams is usually a good sign

Bill Burr Says β€˜CNN and Fox News Are a Fβ€”ing Disease,’ Fires Back at β€˜Horrible’ Conservatives Bashing Him as β€˜Woke’: β€˜They’re Racists’ and β€˜Cowards’ Bill Burr says the conservatives calling him "woke" are "racists" and "cowards."

You don't need a Joe Rogan for the left. What we all need to do is take Bill Burr's lead. Every time a Republican goes after him, he doesn't debate him. He just insults them and tells them to go fuck themselves. We don't need one person to do this. We should all just do this.

July was the smokiest month on record in Winnipeg with 189 hours of smoke at the Airport. Temperatures were average, but it was much drier than normal.

It was also the driest January to July on record at the Airport with 126mm of precip. Normal is close to 300mm

REVEALED: How the Trump admin is covertly reconfiguring online algorithms For the first time, here’s a look at the administration’s playbook for reverse algorithmic capture.

NEW: I just published what is probably my most important article in while. In it, I reveal how the Trump administration is covertly manipulating social media platforms & algorithms to boost the administration’s narrative and suppress opposing lines of thought. 1/

Guess we will find out if the CFL learned anything from a couple of weeks ago because, uh, it’s not looking good.

It's all third spaces, baby. Used to go bowling, used to cover Skynyrd in the garage, used to have a car club. Now we've got Theo Von on in the F-350 on the way home from your 11-hour workday.

At least this gives the Jets room to re-sign their… *checks notes* aging veterans likely on the downswing of their career arc, or sign/trade for… *checks again* 35+ age UFAs

The funniest part about the Samberg extension as the obvious comparison to Pionk’s re-signing is that they were negotiated by the same agent, lol

Dylan Samberg (3x5.75m arbitration-avoiding deal with Winnipeg) is already performing at a #1-defender lever.

Oliveira is still a beast but can’t play catch up if you don’t score any points on the long drives and your defence immediately folds the drive after. Younger needs to figure out his scheme looking at it from another perspective, and hopefully he isn’t asking Richie Hall for help.

Defensive line were able to get some pressure, but there must be some tell that opposing QBs know what the safest hot route option is for a guaranteed 10yds. Collaros getting injured every game isn’t a good sign. Streveler has improved as a passer but still too many bad throws in a 3-down game.

Caught up on the Bombers game. It wasn’t as catastrophic as I was reading about, but the bad habits (offensive turnovers on long drives) and obvious weak links (secondary playing 10yds+ off of the LOS) yet again put WPG behind early. Starting to see some personnel changes from coaches, finally.
