we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

A version of the Wes Streeting 'I never knew Peter Mandelson well' opinion column. Photo is of my cat. Text reads: Ignore the smears: I was never on the kitchen table, and I am deeply concerned about the cultural moral failing of going on tables. I was only in the kitchen in the 1st place to prevent other cats from jumping on the table. That sound you heard was me doing something else. An additional 'linked' headline reads: Scientists study reappearance of mysterious cat-like wet footprints on surface of table, despite assurances that cat ‘knows it’s naughty’ to go on the table.

“Donald Trump has to be one of the stupidest fucking people ever to walk the earth.” He’s captured Canadian sentiment quite well here.

Graphic with a gradient background and bold text explaining that Doug Ford has governed Ontario with a majority for nearly a decade despite winning about 40% of the vote. It states his government has been involved in billion dollar scandals and overseen worsening outcomes in housing, health care, and unemployment. Below the text is a screenshot of a Globe and Mail headline about discussions of an early federal election to secure a majority. The bottom text argues that defending 40% majority governments is not defending democracy and makes the case for proportional representation so no government can govern with minority support. The Fair Vote Canada website is shown at the bottom.

When 40% of voters can deliver near total power, accountability collapses.

Majority governments without majority support are not stability, they are insulation from consequences.

Pro-Rep forces governments to earn broad support and makes abuse of power harder to hide.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

I've reached out to all Canadian companies listed here to ask if they intend to continue working with ICE:

Hootsuite
Roshel
Garda
Jim Pattison Developments

I've also reached out to @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social's team for comment on export permits for Canadian sale of armoured vehicles to ICE.

Not today. Not this hour. That’s the deal.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

Donald J. Trump on Truth Social writes: Dear Prime Minister Carney: Please let this Letter serve to represent that the Board of Peace is withdrawing its invitation to you regarding Canada's joining, what will be, the most prestigious Board of Leaders ever assembled, at any time.

'If you don't use this snake oil we've poured billions into, the line won't go up!' is a hell of take. I see we're getting desperate and pivoting to victim blaming.

PSA reading “Hey there neighbor! We all want to feel safe, but your Ring camera is sharing everything with ICE, including every person that walks by.” Cartoon smiley faces saying “Ack!”, “Oh no!”, “That’s terrible!” A cartoon shouting “What to do?!” Text: “Turn it off! Or, cover the camera and use audio only.” A drawing showing “You” cutting the stream of information from Ring to Amazon to ICE. Text: “We keep each other safe” surrounded by drawings of hearts.

CCF warns that C-15 would allow Carney gov’t to exempt any person or company from almost any law - Canadian Constitution Foundation TORONTO – The CCF is concerned that a provision in Bill C-15 would give federal ministers the power to exempt any individual or business from almost any law

“Section 12 would allow Prime Minister Carney and his ministers to act like dictators, greenlighting exemptions to laws for their friends and preferred corporations whenever it’s convenient for them to do so." 👇

Hahaha very well put, I agree

Episode 5 of Heated Rivalry Is the Best Television of Our Time And I’m done pretending that’s an overstatement. There’s good television. There’s great television. And then there’s episode 5 of season 1 of Heated Rivalry, which quietly, devastatingly, changes the rules for what modern TV can be. Not because it’s loud. Not because it’s flashy. But because it is precise, emotionally intelligent, and unafraid to let intimacy do the heavy lifting. This episode doesn’t chase prestige. It earns it.

🧵 Episode 5 of season 1 of #HeatedRivalry is the best piece of television in modern time.

Not hyperbole.
Not fandom exaggeration.
Just craft, restraint, and emotional intelligence at a level most shows never reach.

They are professionals. But then I’m not a professional hockey player so maybe that’s totally a real thing 😅

I definitely agree with this. There’s multiple times in the show where they imply their hockey performance is impacted by their feelings in the relationship. I read the books years ago but pretty sure that doesn’t happen.

I have also witnessed this disappearance in Ontario 😭

I know! 🥰 It’s such a nice feeling to have zero cancellation angst 😭😭 almost reminiscent of the relief in OFMD S1 that there was no queer baiting, it was all real and on purpose!

Yay!!! So fun to see your name pop up over here!!! I AM DEVOURING these episodes every Friday morning.

Your comments are *chefs kiss* thanks for all the laughs and also yesssssss now you will be agony waiting 7 days with the rest of us.

Goddamn it no editing. Shane and Ilya lol

Except for the lamps. The podcast What Chaos! pointed out (I forget who’s tweet they posted) that there are way too many lamps in Ilya’s house.

Essential to telling the story. Everything seems exquisitely deliberate and yet the actors make it look so natural and real. And I know this has already been said A LOT but THE MUSIC. Thank you Jacob Tearney!
