WORLD CUP: Canada ties with Bosnia-Herzegovina, reignites WWI

Some trans man who hasn't picked a name yet has a chance to do the funniest fucking thing

He's been full mask-off for awhile now, I remember how Shopify used to be viewed as one of THE progressive (at least in terms of employment practices) places to work

The Shopify CEO is an all time loser, up there with Elon. Just a mortifying dude

Babcock isn't even hired yet

Even at the drastically smaller scale I get emails with NST, the fastest way to get me to ignore you is to have your email clocked as AI-written.

Well! It's all changing with Dr Who! No Christmas special, Russell T Davies is out, and the show is going out for tender - so it looks like we're a couple of years away from a new episode at least! What do you think is coming next? #DoctorWho #WibblyWobbly @whoculture.bsky.social

Here’s where my home town is at now. Well done everyone. Nearly back to what it was like when I was growing up there.

New Brunswick opens Stargate at border for quicker access to PEI

Social media bans for kids are not wise for society but so useful for conservative governments & oligarchs. Parents & schools s/b teaching kids how to navigate online safely, just as w/ the physical world. We're risking an entire generation of naive 18 year olds w/o the skills they'll need.

Poilievre campaigns on a united Canada: “Please don’t make me find yet another riding”

Remember, these fraud accusations are coming from people who are just dumber than dirt. Nick Shirley thought just anyone could walk into a day care and didn't know what the word "benevolent" meant. If he weren't doing this, he'd be exploring the mystery of where Mister Sun goes every night.

Chrétien: When you look at the polls, Canadians have never been more united. Thank you to Donald Trump for that. I should propose him for the Order of Canada, but I cannot succeed. Do you know why? Rosie: He's not Canadian? Chrétien: Because we don't give it to a person who has a criminal record.

I.... Hunh? That's allowed right now?

If you tell people that an integral part of Jewish identity is supporting a state that is actively committing a genocide, what happens when people believe you? If people believe that to be Jewish is to support a state that is committing genocide, hate against Jewish people will rise.

Patio season convinces Ottawa woman she doesn’t live in desolate arctic hellscape 90% of year

THIS HAS NOT AGED WELL

...woah

Ottawa Charge captain Brianne Jenner announces on Instagram that her time with the organization has ended. “While it was my intention to continue and finish my career in Ottawa, the organization has decided to move in a different direction.”

So, Ottawa Charge fans worried about Jenner and/or Kadirova... If they WANT to stay, there is only one part of the process to worry about - the one binding offer each expansion team has. Otherwise, as players on expiring contracts they can refuse to sign and ARE NOT eligible during selection

From yesterday, my initial thoughts on what Larkin’s trade request means for the Red Wings

Phase 2 of the expansion process starts today at 12:00pm EST and run through until June 8 at 1:00pm EST, and will see the four expansion teams sign five players. Existing teams can lose a maximum of four players under contract for the 2026-27 season.

Great. Now when I try to find a recipe for cellular peptide cake, I'm going to get suggestions that include rocks or glue or something.

Full statement of Scott Pelley after he's fired from CBS 60 Minutes, detailing the sort of corruption of journalism Bari Weiss has brought to CBS News:

Someone actually did a study a while back that showed the most effective way to get women out of TERF groups wasn’t people trying to change their minds, it was them getting literally any benign hobby, like learning other languages or taking up needlework

every time i see a white guy in their fifties radicalized by the twitter algorithm into racism and extremism i think about how it's a total failure of the youtube algorithm to instead radicalize him into home brewing, elaborate A/V setups, or DIY solar

You may have heard that the PWHL expanded. As you might expect, that means TIG is expanding (again). - Tell me about writers I should absolutely be following that may not be on my radar. - My DMs are open. Please share a link to some recent work (self-published or unpublished is fine).
