I think what I hate the most about that Coke "VAR" commercial is that no one has ever responded with joy to a VAR call. You're either vindicated and relieved or absolutely goddamn furious. Nothing in-between.

Genuinely, deeply upsetting.

Massive loser behaviour. The yes men surrounding these nerds must hate themselves so much to suffer this.

Have been enjoying the pick 'em feature on The Athletic. I'm 4/4 so far, looking to continue that today with Swiss and Scot wins and a draw between Brazil and Morocco.

The jump scare of Katy Perry and her boyfriend showing up on the FIFA broadcast... caught me of guard!

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

I get why this seems great & on principle, I agree. I've seen the rampant phone addiction amongst kids & it's frankly jarring. And that's not even talking about the exploitation. But play that out - It would mean giving your ID to people notorious for dogshit infosec. It would be a nightmare!

I guess I can rest now.

For every dollar men earned in 2025, women earned 85.5 cents, up from 81.6 cents in 2022. Pay transparency, childcare expansion and minimum wage increases help in narrowing the gender pay gap. Learn more: News.gov.bc.ca/33843

Calling all lefty politicians! This is a layup that y'all should be taking.

Angus Reid data shows 68% of Canadians want heavy regulation of AI, even if it slows development, and would oppose a large data centre planned near their home. The government is way offside with Canadians on this. Telling them to become “literate” isn’t going to work. angusreid.org/ai-regulatio...

"'He yells,' said one MP (...). 'He punches down at caucus all the time.'" This is pretty unsurprising based on various reports on some of Carney's behind-the-scenes behaviour since day one, but it's still really off-putting to read. Great reporting from @althiaraj.bsky.social. She's killing it.

Hell yeah, Hamilton.

Mark Carney: fuck them kids.

Video of what appears to be multiple @tps.ca officers tackling & arresting a cyclist during a stop sign trap on the MGT. Cyclist - "What did I do wrong?" Cop - "You didn't stop." If true, this is excessive use of force for a traffic stop. Mayor Chow & @ausmalik.bsky.social plz look into this.

The only purpose of this government is to drive up the national GDP in the short term (in a way that only benefits elites) at the expense of literally everything else. Like, goddamnit man.

Turns out when we allow our provinces to destroy universities, it has an impact. www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/eco...

Take note, fellow teachers. They're gonna keep coming for SOGI Ed, and we can't let them take it.

My story on the election of Kerry-Lynne Findlay as the new leader of the B.C. Conservatives #bcpoli thetyee.ca/News/2026/05...

LOL the whole world suffers because Americans decided to prioritize white supremacy when voting 🗳️ White supremacy is expensive, including to white people

Wow. The RCMP witness at #SECU just said encryption is the problem and Bill C-22 Lawful Access is the solution.

Would be interested to hear @emmettmacfarlane.com's take and/or other scholars' takes, cuz reading this, it reads like a decision that sets reconciliation back considerably.

Counterterror czar Gorka says: "We're gonna label terrorists as terrorists, whether it's cartels, whether it's jihadis, or whether it's sadly the le — the Americans who are left wing, who are radical, and because they subscribe to some anarchic, anti-fascist, or radically pro-transgender ideology"

These people are so confidently stupid. How are they not laughed out of every room?

“It's making me dumber for sure.” www.404media.co/software-dev...

I don't think this is unreasonable. I think this is the correct frame through which to view Elon Musk.

Worth noting this type of embarrassment may be a thing of the past for the BC government In future, these types of documents may be covered by cabinet confidence and unavailable to those requesting reviews of government decisions Bill 16 received royal assent on May 21 #bcpoli

Interesting read with perspectives I haven't heard before. If you're going to go up to 15% and not including renewed language to support Cdn art and culture, then what's the money for? More dollars to feed the war machine?

Big news! @Sandela and I are raising money to hire a journalist to investigate the extent to which pro-Israel narratives are influencing Canadian media, and what the impact of that influence is on coverage. Chip in a few bucks! Help us hire somone! chuffed.org/project/1823...

I need to talk about Sen̓áḵw. This word has been in the news for years, and I still hear it mispronounced constantly—by journalists, politicians, and well-meaning people who just haven't been shown how. It's a word from the Squamish Language. Let me walk you through it. 🧵

Your partner in crime took away trans kids healthcare and is trying to ban every LGBTQ+ book in the province but doesn't matter if we burn the planet down faster

7 unanswered goals against the Habs, you say? Put that shit straight into my veins.

Imagine losing ground as the opposition to THIS government. Nenshi is such a loser.

Hearing Kenney denounce using tax dollars to fund this programme...I'll patiently await his denouncing of the tax dollars Dallas Brodie spent making her bullshit denialist propaganda.

This is what our government is fast tracking. Not affordable homes. Not free transit. Not healthcare you can depend on. Just more handouts for the foreign fossil fuel corporations that strip our communities for parts.
