Every time a major media organization does something evil there's always a bunch of media guys talking about how unfair it is to expect anyone to quit in protest. How they have families etc. Yes that is why quitting in protest is admirable. Because it is hard not because it is easy.

I made a playlist

I don’t know what was more formative from this yellow background website, these late Hunter S. Thompson columns or little mailbag responses about how Mr. Holland was a giant piece of shit.

Something our columnist David Climenhaga wrote in November

Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

Where the fuck is Mark Carney?

I can’t wait for Mark Carney to find some kind of mealy-mouthed way of defending or excusing this action when it’s such a flagrant violation of the international law he claims is so sacrosanct when it comes to countries like Russia.

They hanged propagandists at Nuremberg.

The U.S. raising another banner this morning to celebrate its work in Venezuela.

really might be the best TikTok

Our leaders of democracy, governing or otherwise, are either so incredibly out of their depth or they’re on the take or they’re incredibly out of their depth and on the take. Not a lot of space for optimism.

Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela. It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.

2026 goals

It’s 11 AM. Do you know where your prime minister is?

congrats to @mobute.bsky.social on their new role as President of Venezuela

you’re about to see just a deluge of bootlicking legacy media shit under the guise of “international law” and “US saves the day” and PLEASE don’t let them get away with it

grim posthumous scenario i had not previously considered: you post a picture of the missile headed straight for you, and are memorialized by a bunch of random assholes complaining about alt text

This is all obviously horrific, but people acting like this is some major break or escalation from how US foreign policy has operated under previous presidents . . . come on, man. Read a book.

👏👏👏

Just thinking for no reason at all about how Trump placed sanctions on a Canadian judge who authorised an investigation into US war crimes in Afghanistan, cutting her off from the international banking system.

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets. polymarket.com/@0x31a56e9E6...

Everyone who insisted that Russia had to be banned from international sports is going to show up for America's World Cup and pretend nothing happened

What the fuck

It's a neat trick to say "get beyond the argument" when implicitly you mean "by accepting my position"

Everyone getting new skis this winter. Not me. Nope. I’m gonna be the slowest. Wait for me at the truck.

It would be nice if Canadian journalists started asking our politicians why they continue to use X despite all of the CSAM and fascism, but a lot of Canadian journalists still use it, too.

Why should any of us trust any political party to regulate the Internet when they refuse to stop using a platform that generates child sex images? All their sanctimonious talk about “polarization,” “misinformation,” “online harms,” “protecting children,” etc. rings hollow when they continue using X

I don't recall off hand who made the point about AI being, more than anything else, a machine for displacing responsibility. That increasingly looks like its most reliable feature

the corporate media has failed us at every turn

Corrupt tech billionaires are buying power to tilt the world in their favor. Even the co-founder of Y Combinator is saying it. ⬇️ The radical death cult rising from Silicon Valley venture capital is metastasizing rapidly. It's an existential threat to democracy and humanity.

This stuff is against federal law, but guess who's in charge of enforcing that right now? Trump's FTC. Guess who Trump praised out loud while signing the law that made this a federal crime? Former X CEO Linda Yaccarino. It's a big club and victims aren't in it.

I've been tracking the spread of nonconsensual deepfakes on X for more than two years. Here's a timeline of how Musk's leadership allowed the practice to flourish from a once-underground market to a viral trend, with little recourse for victims or legal enforcement. spitfirenews.com/p/grok-csam-...

Honest to god, what is it going to take to get political / governmental accounts in Canada to stop using this deranged website? Other countries are launching criminal investigations into X, Canadian officials / political staffers seem more worried about their social media engagement metrics tanking

This is an outrageous abdication of journalistic duty. Grok's apology was prompted by a human, as was its equally vehement self-defense. People are willingly hurling themselves into the AI trashbin at the bidding of oligarchs who will happily remove them from their jobs.

When asked why they jangled, the keys continued to jingle at our reporter for another 10 hours

So over the last year, Elon Musk’s Grok: • Generated sexualized images of children • Posted white nationalist, antisemitic and Nazi content • Shared private user data on Google • Etc…

went back and grabbed the full video of her intro. absolutely incredible 🇮🇹🍝👩‍🍳🤌🇮🇹🍝👩‍🍳🤌🇮🇹🍝👩‍🍳🤌🇮🇹🍝👩‍🍳🤌

it’s stupid to not use ai just because it can induce psychosis and generate child porn. it’s like saying you’re hungry when there’s a hot dog on the ground outside that induces psychosis and generates child porn

1. Team USA's plan to go down to two lines after the first period in every game is going to be fascinating to watch. 2. So many questionable decisions. Not near the top: they didn't like Kyle Connor the last time around so why take him again? 3. Robertson must have pissed someone off his draft year.

like i cannot stress enough how stupid it is for a reputable news organization to take an AI-generated response to a prompt from some random user as an official statement. what the fuck are we doing here, @reuters.com?

God had nothing to do with it.

1. Co-sign this. 2. The 'learning process' is more important than the 'result' and Public School needed to communicate this a lot better. It feels too late now. 3. Learning is hard. It's supposed to be hard. www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...

I didn’t catch a second of the game but after cobbling it together here it sounds like I missed a fucking masterpiece.

3 points in a crushing comeback loss wherein he was also on for 3GA on an extended losing streak and had the tying chance in the dying seconds? With not a lot of travelling media and the core of them in Minnesota for the World Junior’s? *chef’s kiss*

I’m sorry, was there no reaction/interview with Mark Scheifele about not making the team yesterday? Did they make him available? Did no media make the trip? How are we supposed to take any of this seriously?

Get in, loser. We’re going shopping (for silver linings).
