The Distance. My entry into the Super Bowl ad mix.

Jobs are easy. Just get a job at your dad's sticker factory, or use your family's connections to go into politics.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Treason doesn't get a free pass. Not on my watch. It's time to shine a light in the dark hole where the quislings hang out. We stand for Canada. True, north, strong, free of interference.

👇This is awesome. 💯🙏 Can we have also have a guide for getting off American ideology in movies, literature, and music? Let’s get back to telling Canadian stories, and sharing other viewpoints, too. (No more stories that are just violent confrontations solved by guns, ffs.) 🇨🇦❤️

A good call with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark today. Greenland’s future is for Greenland and Denmark alone to decide. We reaffirmed our commitment to sovereignty and territorial integrity and discussed our ongoing work to strengthen Arctic security.

Any politician who’s “pro AI” is absolutely not getting my vote or support, regardless of their party. Fix the tech, get the software working well, *then* we can talk about endorsing some silly gimmick that’s otherwise harming the planet & making people dumber.

It's so infuriating to see governments encourage the consumption of the drug most likely to result in violent crime and a whole host of other social problems, while punishing people who use other drugs. The hypocrisy is breathtaking. Not to mention ridiculously expensive for society.

Canadians don’t profit off fascism. Scumbags and Nazis do. If you disagree, I think you may want to take a good look in the mirror. You might not like what you see? 💪🇨🇦

On one hand, the richest people in the world are sociopathically accumulating wealth instead of helping those in need, but on the other hand they're Nazis and pedophiles

Nation could really use Catherine O'Hara to deal with passing of Catherine O'Hara

Tomorrow we ride for Alex, Renee, and all victims of ICE. Rides happening in 200 locations worldwide.

This doesn’t show up (for me at least) in the preview below, but Amazon is cutting 16,000 human jobs to free up money to build “data centers to compete in the race to dominate artificial intelligence.” 16,000 humans have no job so Amazon can wreck the planet and take more jobs from humans.

🧵 If Canada ever faced a serious separatist crisis with foreign interference, the real warning signs wouldn’t start with troops or tanks. They’d start with narratives. Here’s what to be on alert for... #cdnpoli

There can be some gatekeeping in the cycling community so just remember that when it comes to biking there are only two rules: Wear what you want. Ride what you want and don't let anyone tell you differently @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

The Canadian nation was born in response to the violence of the first American civil war and the threat of invasion. We built a country on the principle of compromise, protection of minorities and the rejection of political violence. We hold to those principles today www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tXX...

Man who wouldn’t wear mask to protect people fine wearing mask to shoot them

Resisting the might-makes-right order, in solidarity with the peoples of Palestine, Venezuela, Cuba and Greenland. Boycott, divest from, or exclude from contracts these complicit US companies.

American owned newspaper asks convicted criminal who was pardoned by Trump to weigh in on Canadian affairs. Now over to the guy on the beach in Costa Rica.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Idk paid agitators seems like a pretty good description of ICE.

So you agree? You know it’s useless?

Trump demands Carney give him his standing ovation from Davos

🤣🤣

Subscribing to the Criterion Channel during the first months of COVID lockdown was one of my best decisions in recent years. Not only has it boosted my mental wellbeing amid these dark and stressful times in this country, but it’s also exposed me to so many great films. Still a satisfied subscriber.

I am humbled by these people's bravery.

A functional country would shut Grok down permanently. Like, immediately. Right now. Last week. Whatever. Just flip the switch. Obviously.

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

Any 5-year-old knows that you only refuse to question whether something is “right” because you know it’s not. Smith may have the intellect - and certainly the emotional maturity - of a child, because she apparently thinks “Ha ha, this will let me get away with it!” I hope we show her otherwise. 🇨🇦❤️

Read this:

Heh.

Love to see it.

Read this. Then read it again.

"If we want a future rooted in peace, justice, and environmental integrity, we must reject narratives that silence truth or weaponize fear. And we must be clear:Criticizing Israel is not antisemitic. Silencing such criticism harms Palestinians and Jewish communities alike."

This is how a normal country responds to a mass shooting. And no, it's not too early. "Australia PM will propose tougher gun laws after Bondi Beach mass shooting" abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Absolute debasement of academic standards *student submits opinion in psych class *gets bad grade *instructor says she can make whatever arguments she wants but must draw on empirical sources *student & Turning Point says her religious freedom & first amendment rights violated *professor suspended

I doubt this bonkers UCP resolution will actually become law, but it highlights the degree to which pseudoscience & conspiracy theories have been normalized... Stunning.

Dan Levy openly says that Schitt's Creek would not have survived anywhere except the CBC because it was weird and took a season or so to find its feet... Just for reference if you wanna know the ROI on this approach to supporting creative things.

But Canada’s identity isn’t shaped by that worldview. Newcomers don’t weaken our living standards; they help sustain and improve them. What truly threatens living standards anywhere is letting authoritarian, exclusionary ideologies take hold.

This applies to JD Vance, too.
