So many good memories of working in Accra. I'm happy to see so many Ghana supporters in Toronto tonight. #GHAvsPAN #worldcup2026

The Illuminassholes.

Ok, my Samsung tablet didn't let me do a hard reboot unless I told an LLM to do it for me. Fuck that.

Wow, that was a brilliant header by Iraq. But damn Haaland is a force. Say what you will about Man City, but now that Norway is here, they might be a contender. #IRQvsNOR

So, has anyone actually done a study of whether all of the extremely wealthy are each extreme narcissists? I mean, the lack of empathy for anyone else would be a central argument against any sort of untethered capitalism.

In honour of James Joyce on Bloomsday, the Reflecting Pool has turned "snotgreen."

Man, people will go to the mat for their Cheetos like they're protected by constitutional amendment.

Holy shit. Belgium brings in emergency backup Lukaku, and he scores within a minute on the field. What an all-timer. #BELvsEGV #worldcup2026

Spain shitting the bed right now while Cabo Verde's keeper has already earned MVP is making for an interesting match. #ESPvsCPV #worldcup2026

I subscribe to four major streaming services, and it's crazy how few Spielberg films are available. This kind of gate-keeping is going to be really bad for film-making going forward.

Emperor Trump's gladiator arena is going to make a hell of a lightning rod.

I totally have a ColecoVision gamepad that I would be willing to donate for navigation control.

THAT’S TWO BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP GOALS IN THE FIRST HALF FOR TEAM USA

Haha, love that the camera lands on Katy Perry in the boxes at the US v Paraguay match, and the commentators are like oh there's Katy Perry without mentioning that the former PM of Canada is there, too, explaining something to her.

GOOOOOOAL! Kyle!!! 🇨🇦⚽ #COYBIR #WorldCup2026

Canada needs to start showing at least half of the grace under pressure that Mexico displayed yesterday. They're better than this. 🇨🇦⚽ #WorldCup2026

FAAAAAAK! 🇨🇦

This is likely the shape of the majority of social media political discourse everywhere, and should be completely ignored, unless from eminently trusted sources.

This place isn't going to give a single fuck about the World Cup, is it?

so cool that the canadian government plans to spend billions of dollars to encourage people to use not just a bullshit machine, but a mass death and suicide machine

HACKS! 😭

He lives in a pineapple under the sea.

There is zero chance that Toronto or Vancouver, or any taxpayers, are going to see an acceptable ROI on the World Cup at a time of economic turmoil. FIFA is a vampire.

Voyagers!, Big Foot And Wild Boy, or Scarecrow And Mrs King, take your pick.

She was undeniably one of the greatest comic book creators and most important authors of my lifetime. I’ll carry your art with me forever. R.I.P. to an icon.

Please enjoy this clip of national treasure and all-around brassy dame, Mary Walsh, calling Trump an arsehole (twice!) on a live Canadian morning show yesterday. youtu.be/ZZf6Y0jddd4?...

If an ambassador's overall purpose is to faithfully represent their home government, then I guess this fucker nailed it.

Happy 100th, Marilyn. Love you forever.

CNN talking to Vanilla Ice on the Freedom 250 concert, from the location of his current pool cleaning client.

If The Proposal was made today, it would be 10 minutes long. Sandra Bullock goes to ICE detention. The end.

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

This is normal, right? I assume nobody in power should be deeply concerned here, right? Right?

Might have to shave this to squeeze out a few more years of not being called "sir" in public (which I think is premature and weirdly unearned.)

When I saw this, it reminded me that it's been 35 years since former Toronto mayor June Rowlands banned the Barenaked Ladies from playing at City Hall on New Years because of their band name.

Nobody has ever publically looked more excited to do a crime than Bessent does right here.

Danielle Smith is tearing this province apart to save her own political skin. Instead of standing up for Alberta and a stronger Canada, she’s appeasing separatists and giving legitimacy to groups tied to illegal data breaches, foreign interference concerns and attacks on Indigenous treaty rights.

I feel like this began when the US title of Harry Potter 1 was changed to include "sorcerer" because American kids wouldn't comprehend what "philosopher" meant.

Decided not to be shy!

I very much enjoy this bit of modern Lost Boys appreciation.

Couldn't be more pathetic than if they booked DJ Easy Rock.

However, Nicholas Cage's live-action Spider Noir is, so far, delightful, especially when choosing to watch the black and white version. I mean, I'd watch Cage as a hard-boiled PI without powers, but this has a great cast and good writing and direction so far.

Like super shitty omg.

The two seasons of Netflix The Punisher were so good. The Marvel/Disney one-hour follow-up was so, so bad. I assume they're bridging the gap with the new Spider-man, but it seemed like they were trying to make a Judge Dredd movie and it makes no sense at all.

It's fresh Ontario asparagus season, bitches!

The great Colm Tóibín in Kennys last night for a superb evening celebrating his latest short story collection, 'The News From Dublin'. He is as entertaining, interesting and eloquent in person as he is in his writing - we could stand in the snow all night to listen to him. A night for the books.

Comics and TV people! Explain to me how The Punisher streaming adaptation can be so good, but they can't get a Judge Dredd series going. It seems like the exact right time for it. #2000ad

I've seen this movie, but now it's in slow motion.

Oh yikes, that cuts close.

Fart Of The Deal

OTOH, it's somewhat satisfying that you can now tell Google AI to fuck off, and it fucks off.
