This is now two consecutive auctions where battery storage has outcompeted and outclassed gas-fired electricity -- in Ontario, of all places. It might be time for some folks to update their priors on the cost of battery storage.

Two weeks after CBS gave up on late night, ABC’s Kimmel has pulled away from NBC’s Fallon. NBA Finals has helped a lot, but Kimmel is extending lead on non-NBA nights too…. Details ⬇️⬇️ puck.news/jimmy-kimmel...

NEW: Doug Ford’s approval rating has fallen to the lowest level since he took office in 2018, according to non-profit pollster Angus Reid, as the PC Party continues to face backlash over the controversial purchase of a private jet. #Onpoli globalnews.ca/news/1189981...

This isn’t a California joke…this is a joke about the Supreme Court case soon to be decided regarding the acceptance of mail ballots postmarked by Election Day in Mississippi that could affect all states

Now we get to find out just how committed Danielle Smith and the UCP really are to direct democracy and hearing the will of the people. #abpoli edmonton.citynews.ca/2026/06/08/c...

StubHub and SeatGeek have been added to Ontario’s Consumer Beware List and potentially face thousands of dollars in fines under the province’s new anti-scalping law. The fines were raised from a maximum of $10,000 to a new top penalty of $25,000.

Canada has introduced new legislation to regulate social media companies and LLMs — taking aim at CSAM and violence-encouraging chatbots — with penalties up to 5% of the company's global revenue if they refuse to comply.

Texas Tech has a choice. No one is forcing the Red Raiders to play Brendan Sorsby. They are not backed into a corner. They can take his recovery seriously and support him by keeping him around/engaged with the program but NOT play him in games. It shouldn't be a tough call.

Screwworm prevention is the kind of government spending that sounds stupid until you wish DOGE hadn’t cut it. I remember Bobby Jindal mocking the Obama stimulus for funding “something called volcano monitoring.” Funny until there’s an eruption!

Railways are so purely a federal matter that municipal (read: provincial) land use planning powers cannot control railways at all, something recently reaffirmed at the Supreme Court regarding a Halton Region case. Now POLITICALLY is a different story.

Today, I’m entering the race for Ontario Liberal Leader because I believe Ontario can still win. But not if we keep ignoring our big problems.

Via Andrew Marchand, ESPN and Pat McAfee are discussing an extension worth more than $60 million per year.

It's incredible how his nickname for Biden was sleepy Joe and this mf is asleep at every single thing he does, including a incredibly loud stadium during the NBA finals.

Even after yesterday’s ruling, I’ll be stunned if Brendan Sorsby ever sets foot on a college football field again. He broke every rule short of actually throwing a game. No judge outside of Lubbock is siding with Sorsby.

Actually gasping at the mindset needed to rationalize "I've put a couple kids in the hospital." Stan Rogers sang "causes are ashes where children lie slain" and if this clown hasn't killed anyone yet it's not from his own care.

tell you what if I was a HC with clout and some slack and have a game vs. Texas Tech where Sorsby is eligible this season -- I'm coming out that Monday and telling everyone that if he's on the field in uniform on Saturday we won't be there.

This is protectionist bullshit and we should be better than this. arstechnica.com/cars/2026/06...

The NCAA takes yet another L in court; Brendan Sorsby has won an injunction allowing him to play for Texas Tech in 2026.

A massive curling 🥌 shakeup in Scotland to start the week. Grant Hardie is leaving Team Mouat and has joined Scottish rivals Team Whyte. Hardie will skip. Whyte will throw last rocks. Robin Brydone takes Hardie’s spot at third on Mouat’s team.

This is terrible, and I think it’s likely far from the worst thing that will happen in this World Cup. I think it clearly puts the team at a competitive disadvantage, especially for the match they have in Seattle. FIFA should have moved their matches to Mexico.

Knicks fans: Get ready for a strict no-bag policy, TSA-style screening, and showing up 2 HOURS early for Game 3 at MSG. All because one selfish clown wants to attend and turn basketball into his personal security circus. His “winning” is our inconvenience. 🏀🤡 #NBAfinals

PELLEY: “Paying the bribe to Trump broke our hearts, but they did it to get the sale through.” GARCIA-NAVARRO: “Paramount denied those two things were linked.” PELLEY: *laughs*

How to ward off the curse coming for the Knicks in game 3 of the finals. #nba #finals #nyc #witch #summerhouse and don’t let a single Knick take a pic with him! Just ask Saquon Barkley what that does to your stats.

Mariana Mazzucato has gone viral after calling Brexit “a crime,” arguing that Britain has underinvested by £500 billion compared with OECD averages and that Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson have never really been held accountable.

Now may be the time to buy a used #EV. A flood of off-lease vehicles has pushed nearly 40% of used electric cars on US dealer lots below $25,000. Many have years of battery warranty left (and the data shows most batteries last longer + retain more capacity than predicted, or feared).

Periodic reminder that the Bears are worth $8.9 billion and already fully own and control 320 freeway-adjacent acres of land next to a train station. If they want to build a new stadium, there is quite literally nothing stopping them from doing so. Illinois does not need to "act fast".

Danielle Smith got a reality check from Wab Kinew at last week's Western Premiers' Conference. It's not the only one coming for Conservative politicians who refuse to learn what the duty to consult really means -- and why it matters. #cdnpoli #abpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/06/05/o...

Canada’s AI Strategy: “It’s hard to read the strategy and come away with much confidence that Ottawa is prepared to stand up to the U.S. tech giants dominating this space, or other bad actors exploiting it,” writes @aradwanski.bsky.social www.thestar.com/opinion/star... #cdnpoli

I was told the Globe had to turn the comments off on a story about gay hockey a couple weeks ago. Canada, man, satire and reality.

Netflix says CanCon rules will force them to raise prices that they already raised and plan to raise more

First order approximation: -EV ballpark 50% as polluting -Waymo travels twice as far per passenger mile -Increased traffic adds additional pollution from other cars = EV waymo ride is more polluting than a personal vehicle that runs on gasoline

Big Ten/SEC endowments, btw:

Alabama does not have the funds to compete with Notre Dame, Ohio State, USC, Michigan, Texas and the other holy shit rich schools. When shit is done above board, Alabama and many SEC schools do not have the money to hang. Saban knows it, so does everyone else in the south.

This should honestly be illegal
