Great so as well as having no-AI clauses inserted into the contracts I sign while I'm alive I have to put one in my will now.

It's so clear that Trump and co assume that everyone is as morally empty as they are. They think Democrats might be opposed to paedophiles being prosecuted because they're Democrats... and that might get them to shut up about his own involvement. www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

This is awesome but its also the wards that need it the least. I'd be thrilled to see a store open on my street. But the suburban wards where folks have to drive to pick up milk and eggs are the ones who actually need this! The arguments against have been so detached from reality.

Do these people hear themselves

Windows 11 users... just how bad is the AI bloat? My current laptop is nearing its end of life and I should really upgrade but I know it probably means also moving over to 11 and I just... don't want to.

Gonna try this next time I'm accused of murder

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

The thing that stops me biking all through winter is just not knowing if the city will have actually cleared the bike lanes. In theory they do, but in reality half the time the road plough has pushed snow into the bike lane, there are patches of ice... it ends up being too dangerous.

Sometimes in Canada things are just sponsored by a food. Not the company that makes the food. Just the food. For example: Milk.

Someone needs to go to Bushwick and tell them all yop doing monotone comedy music on TikTok and IG reels. There are enough of them now.

You know what maybe we deserve a male loneliness epidemic

Everyone knows Tim Davie ran for election for the Conservatives before he got the BBC job right?

One of my least popular opinions is that public office should be paid absurdly well, with the condition that you can't earn money from other sources during your tenure. I don't mean held in trust, I mean nothing. No rental income, if you hold profitable assets on election revenue goes to the state.

If you care about journalism and press freedom, read this thread from Luke.

The year is 2065. Cities are just one big police force. There's no public subway, only a special cop tube big enough for the horses to ride. There's no homelessness because everyone is a cop who lives in Barrie. There's no crime because everyone is a cop who lives in Barrie. Taxes are the same.

It is frustrating how supposed contrarian free speech advocates like Weiss are mostly just useful, gullible idiots that fall for well funded comms.

Are you a current or former public servant, or do you know one who has thoughts on Carney's budget? I'm looking to speak to someone for @nationalobserver.com about potential cuts to the federal public service. If you worked there before 2016 that's even better! 1/2

I'm spending the morning reading last night's budget. I encourage you to do this for yourself because if you check most media you'll only see "investment." The reality is an austerity budget where almost every department has been handed a 15% budget cut. www.budget.canada.ca/2025/report-...

As a Blue Jays fan I won't believe Zohran's won until everything is counted.

I'm no New Yorker, but the people threatening to leave if Mamdani wins are the exact people I'd be thrilled to see the back of if I did live there.

Lots of headlines using the words "polarising" when they should be using "hated"

Beginning to think the best place for a US news outlet to be headquartered might be Canada.

Literally nobody has called them this. How is the NYT always wrong.

If the Jays win, it'll be a well-timed miraculous Cinderella story celebrated by a whole nation. If the Dodgers win, it'll be because they refused to pick a ball off the ground in game 6.

Dodgers play of the game.

Dodgers win on technicalities again. We win game 7 like proper baseball players. Seeya tomorrow.

"Dashing prince"

"This isn't the first time a person has endured harsh conditions with a bottle of wine."

If you walk through my neighbourhood you see buildings that were once corner stores that have been converted to houses. It's one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Toronto. This take is ahistorical and regardless should be irrelevant. Torontonians want this so our councillors should decide to do it.

My column today, on how police departments' car-first attitude makes them say the darnedest things. Like "leave your e-bike at home."

Who are these councillors even representing?

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Can't catch ministers speeding if you don't catch anyone speeding

Just explaining to my British friends that this is one of Canada's top athletes.

I can't stop reading about the Jays. @defector.com in particular are putting out great writing. "The spectacularly named Trey Yesavage—say it "yes-savage" and you will be correct twice" defector.com/game-3-is-th...

Gonna be a left wing radical here and suggest maybe children shouldn't be gassed whether it's Halloween or not

"I've just been terrible" he said, accurately -- The Athletic on Mookie Betts. Savage.

With the Blue Jays one win away from taking the World Series, I think we need to get out ahead of this thing and threaten a nation-wide Rogers boycott if Edward Rogers touches that trophy before the players

Imagine being a Dodgers fan lmao

Hahahahahahah the baseball

I see this point made a lot but it always seems to miss that Americans do actually pay a relatively normal amount of tax globally, esp. if counting medical insurance.

Every Jays article from American press is like "Ohtani is incredible, best ever, wow Ohtani. Wait, the Jays were there too?? And they won!? Well, that's wEiRd"

It's nice we're finally getting insincere grifters on the left though.

Are we entirely surprised that the guy who takes inspiration from Cyberpunk without realising it's a dystopia written to warn us about people exactly like him... also doesn't understand books about elves, dwarves and hobbits?

Apparently the UK just ended no-fault evictions and it appears to have made no impact in the press. This is a big deal and something very good the Labour government has done! UK friends: welcome to having rentals that are homes. Long term neighbours, stronger communities, and some peace as a renter.

A true delight to mess up this guy’s evening

Short Rogers

Oh yeah of course Rogers, who also owns the team and the stadium also owns the network and the wires it gets piped down. "vertical integration" also means nobody else to blame.

Imagine running a major Canadian sports network and not being able to keep it on air during the first World Series to feature a Canadian team in 32 years.
