If the Jays beat the Dodgers for the #WorldSeries the inescapable conclusion is that the God of America is displeased with the current course of things. I don't make the rules.

I was one of the very first subscribers to Canadaland and I'm proud to still be, for many many reasons. I thought this was an amazing conversation (despite the yelling, it was ultimately respectful) and is the kind of real shit that made me fall in love with the show so many years ago. Subscibe!

Excellent piece by @marshamcleod.bsky.social on this entirely avoidable tragedy and the pathetic joke of a system we have for any "police accountability". (I'm very grateful to have a daily like the @winnipegfreepress.com still doing actual journalism!) www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

Wow, not even a token nod to the need to balance a competing intetest in maintaing free expression of ideas without government interference, nor any consideration of the danger inherent in giving governments the ability to ban speech they deem to be disinformation. D-

"The U of M is given $13,362 per student, Brandon University receives $12,354, while U of Winnipeg gets $7,260." The @mbndpcaucus.bsky.social should be ashamed of its continuing neglect of such a central institution to Winnipeg. There is no excuse. www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

Sad to see the unique light posts being replaced with the standard park fixtures in Winnipeg’s cherished Exchange District National Historic Site. Beauty means little in the world today.

I know a lot of my fellow Canadians have been worried about Trump and his threats to Canadian sovereignty, but you can relax now. We got it covered:

AUSA Hagan Scotten, former clerk for John Roberts, really put some mustard on his resignation letter.

I dress like that and sing this exaxt song with others now and then. This explains a lot, though. I didn't realize it, but it must be so attractive that it makes it too intimidating for many women to even speak to me.

Hello Bluesky! The new season of our power grid podcast The Disconnect is out! This time we look at the oil and gas industry's role in keeping the lights on. We start with the roaring history of martial law, oil bootlegging and con artistry in the East Texas oilfield! kutkutx.studio/the-disconne...

I rent a lot of cars for work and noticed in 2022 that I was getting offered Teslas at DEEP discounts from Hertz. Like, save half my money if I get one of these instead of a Jeep Compass.

Nice pic!

I feel seen

A Nanos poll for Bloomberg found 82% support nationwide for Canada using export taxes on oil against Trump if he tariffs Canadian goods but exempts oil. Including 72% support among people in the prairie provinces (!) www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I hope the entire Super Bowl is artificial intelligence ads. It's going to feel like the world is ending. Entire commercial breaks of commercials for companies promising to do both everything and nothing all at once. The disassociation bowl

From Sirota on twitter: "The subtext of this entire interview is that Bernie Sanders’ political analysis was correct and that the liberals who destroyed his political movement destroyed whatever remained of the Democratic Party’s ability to connect with the working class."

Canada's response to #tariffs should be a shift to massively increase trade with China (and Mexico), and use government policy to speed that transition and subsidize the required infrastructure.

Great reporting. The Israeli army said that most people killed in bombing a Beirut apartment block were Hezbollah. The BBC found that nearly all were in fact civilians, and a third were children. www.bbc.com/news/article...

As a lawyer, this is definitely one of the things that drives me the most nuts about reporting on court cases. Like tell me the goddamn case name at least! Most appeal decisions are published on that courts website. Not hard to link.

worth noting Chris Murphy switched his position from anti to pro banning TikTok because of Gaza, explicitly so. He told The Dispatch podcast Dec 7 2023 when explaining his pivot, “The way that TikTok is talking about Gaza is designed to divide Americans from each other”.

Fantastic thread on turtlenecks

oh my goodness

This is a beautiful tribute.

RIP to one of the greatest masters of American art. I don't think there is any single artist whose lifetime of work has had as much of an impact on me. And I'm hardly rare in that regard. A very sad day.

Interesting thread on Queen West in Toronto.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear cloaks and pointy hats.

You call that a manifesto!? It's barely the length of a post. Kids today. No work ethic or attention span.

Remember: don't even TALK about jury nullification DON'T EVEN POST ABOUT IT ONLINE If you even post about it online in a public forum, prosecutors WILL use that as a pretext to exclude you from a jury
