This is fascinating. What would the USA be like if it was just “average”?

Great news for Indigenous people

“Possession of machine guns“ is a baffling charge against Maduro. The guy is a head of state, of course he has access to machine guns, and hired help to operate them. Also: any American can walk into a gun show and buy as many machine guns as they can carry. “Well regulated militia” and all that.

Not because it’s an amazing video, but because it hit my suburban kid music tastes like a neutron bomb, leaving the structure intact but wiping all the details. Before/after for me, for sure. youtu.be/WILyWmT2A-Q?...

This is a shocking display of government waste! $9 million for a feasibility study for a tunnel to add capacity to one of north america‘s busiest highways?!? I would charge only $3 million and deliver the report the same day!

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

Today’s vibe.

Mark Carney: comedy goldmine or colossal disappointment? OR PERHAPS BOTH? From earlier this week at Vancouver's Little Mountain Gallery. #cdnpoli #canadianpolitics #standup #markcarney

Please tell me someone has synced Carley Rae Jepson w “This is America”

Freddie Freeman did a video promoting the Sick Kids Foundation in Toronto, which is a great cause that also knew exactly how to make this video.

Now I’m confused. When the world’s highest profile pedophile (and your “friend”) describes you this way, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Sadly, winter is upon us. But responses here have you all sorted until you leave your couch blinking in the blinding late April sun. Huge variety of great recommendations.

How am I learning the nickname “Tronald Dump” today for the first time? He has led the news for a decade, no one mentioned this moniker to me.

The officer Sandwich Guy is charged with assaulting testifies that he could feel the impact of the sandwich through his ballistic vest, and it “exploded all over my uniform.” He says he could “smell the onions and the mustard.”

honestly we should have a parade to celebrate the jays’ run this year anyway

That was a magical, heart-stopping series with a heart-breaking end. Proud of the Jays! ❤️‍🩹 I think Mayor Olivia Chow & the Blue Jays organization should still put on whatever parade they had planned, just to honour those magnificent athletes & what wonderful sport it has been. #BlueJays

it’s really very lovely and very canadian to see people praising and thanking the jays for an amazing season instead of blaming them for a heartbreaking loss. and placing the blame where it belongs … on drake.

New York knows how to do Halloween!

Baseball stats are like “When a World Series is tied 2 games to 2, the team with a player from Idaho who bats left has gone on to win 84% of the time!” This is called “money ball”, iirc.

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

“Argentine voters” in the USA backed Milei with $40 billion.

Love finding this at Dufferin station (westbound platform if you’re looking for a pitching change) #iwantitall

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

New plaque for base of Statue of Liberty just dropped. A thread.

Dog gets anxious when left alone? Solved.

today seems like a things-fall-apart-the-center-cannot-hold sorta day so how about a timeline cleanse for you? this is absolutely the best thing you will watch at least this week (via Matt Storer on IG)

Dave Chappelle has got a chance to do the funniest thing. Tell jokes about Saudi Arabia at the Riyadh comedy festival until they drag him off stage and behead him. Alas, today he only knows how to tell jokes his hosts will love.

So there’s a well-reviewed $150m movie from Paul Thomas Anderson that I really want to see and I’m saying to myself “I hope it’s still in theatres next weekend, I don’t want to watch it on my phone.” What, as a species, have we come to?

This, but for your bookshelf after you make sure all your friends borrow your favourite books.

“Don‘t take Tylenol!” was advice last heard back in 1982. More evidence that Trump is stuck in that decade.

Huh. I suspect (with zero evidence) someone is doing the same (for a lot less money) with campsite reservations in Ontario. Also: they caught these dudes, but conspire very publicly to steal an election (signed statements!) and be met with shrugs. www.sfgate.com/sports/artic...

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Current mood.

“.. Quite a hot mic moment on CCTV in Beijing today as Putin and Xi, both 72 years old, are caught casually talking about living to 150 and maybe forever thanks to organ transplants. (As picked up by Bloomberg.)” (via @yarotrof.bsky.social)

Mark Carney celebrates Labour Day by ordering labourers back to work

“Canadian Hero Uses Bike Share For Triathlon” #biketo #bikeshare

I love this. cyclingmagazine.ca/sections/new...

How long has it been since someone fact checked Trump in real time? At least a few years. And the latest and best fact check is by... the chairman of the Federal Reserve. This video is hilarious, an SNL sketch for serious nerds. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/07...

Just got back from a visit with relatives in Saskatchewan. The topic of AI came up in conversation, as it does these days. At least half the time the acronym was referring to “artificial insemination” for cattle. I had to pause, then chuckle each time.

Oh no! mamdanitimes.com

I love “28 Days Later”, it’s in my top ten most days. I hear 28 Years Later is just as scary. The zombies are addicted to their phones this time.

Hungary banned anything that “promotes homosexuality,” which means Pride. However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

In a June Democratic mayoral primary, Zohran Mamdani received more votes than 22 sitting US Senators received in their most recent general elections.

Toronto had a day that only iguanas and tomato plants can appreciate.

Alright some decision maker at the TTC deserves the Order of Canada for this.

It has always been a matter of when, not if, the US military gets involved in domestic politics. The sound of Fort Bragg soldiers booing elected leaders this week was the most chilling thing I have heard in years. How much longer for the American experiment?

I love this for Toronto. We can’t afford single family homes built above subway lines.
