The “Sam knows something we don’t” victory grin. #Seahawks #SuperBowl

D-TD!!!! #Seahawks!

Go #Seahawks!

Well here's your problem.

I’m having a hard time thinking of an interview between two human beings I enjoyed more than tonight’s interview of the great Ian McKellen by the great Stephen Colbert. Every moment of it was a pleasure that I highly recommend… but then came the most REMARKABLE ending that you really HAVE to watch.

What a hero. A mom who lost her pension to do what’s right. 1 bajillion times more courageous and heroic than so many leaders in politics, law, universities, corporations, media, and journalism

This is why he’s The Boss.

Hey #Canada‼️ Here’s a #Canadian billionaire, #Pattinson living in #BC, who can be #BOYCOTTED. He is selling property in #Hanover VA to #HomelandSecurity for #ICE #DETENTIONCAMPS. #cdnpoli #USAPOLI www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

Woo hoo #Seahawks! Happiest guy is Woolen. He won’t do that again. Second happiest is the superfan in the Darnold jersey.

I thought the #Seahawks got rid of the stupid selfish penalties with Carrol and Metcalf out the door. Woolen didn’t get the memo. So dumb. So consequential. #football #karma

Go #Seahawks!

Is this soft-capitulation by @pbsnews.org? Your country is being systematically torn apart by a narcissistic compulsive liar who is mentally declining. “Breaking norms” and “pushing peace”? Every opportunity for people or organizations in power or influence to show courage, they fail abjectly.

This is why I would like to see more "building strength at home" talk in Canada that goes beyond AI, tax cuts, defence and fossil fuels. Inequality and lack of political opportunity makes us vulnerable to fascism from within and without.

You can draw a straight line from “alternative facts” to this, and it was aided and abetted by the American main stream media. History will be stupefied by the abject failure of @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy, @nbcnews.com, @cnn.com, @nytimes.com et al.

Yall outside of MN need to know that observers are STILL out protecting their neighbors. Right now. They know the news and they’re still out there.

"There is no strategy behind this exercise in superpower suicide other than the president’s own narcissism, greed, and his general frustration at never being respected by the elites whose favor he desires more than anything." — @vermontgmg.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/donald...

People can say they didn’t vote for this but people are liars

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.

I think it's quite simple.

OK, all #football from here on out tonight. Go #Seahawks! What. A. Start.

Hard agree. The best cities I’ve lived in have been full of all different kinds of people. Places that are overwhelmingly single culture can be nice to visit but I think I’d eventually succumb to utter boredom living there.

Good news. While imperfect, @cbcnews.ca provides valuable local coverage and employs many hard working journalists.

An important and unsettling read. Thanks @radiofreetom.bsky.social for the gift link.

Canada has 41.5 million people, and its governing party is posting messages on a platform that are on average viewed by only a few hundred people What do Canadian MPs actually gain from using X? What would Canadian MPs stand to lose by leaving X?

It's a huge moment for Canadian journalism as today marks the beginning of a five-week trial in the B.C. Supreme Court where @thenarwhal.ca and Amber Bracken sue the RCMP for arresting Amber while she was doing her job, bearing witness. Learn more: thenarwhal.ca/press-freedom/

There we go. That there’s a headline.

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet. Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

If Canada was the 51st State this would be our Vichy Gov’s official statement:

I think Canada could do better than this. Mexico’s statement exhibits moral clarity and far more courage.

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

🎯🎯

It's well past time for Canadian government officials to get off of X, @jameswsthomson.com writes. This latest — disgusting — incident is just one more reason.

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.

Quality work by @davejorgenson.bsky.social.

A bit of positive news illustrated by clear and colourful charts. #solar #renewables #batteries

Imagine if serving in government was as prestigious as landing a job at Google. In Finland and Singapore, it basically is. Public service is seen as a privilege, a place where the most ambitious people go to solve the biggest problems. That’s the culture we should be striving for.

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

I wonder if any journalist at @cbsnews.com @60minutes.bsky.social will have the courage to resign as opposed to working for #concentrationcamp and #facisim apologist?

My first Reith Lecture is now out in video form: A Time of Monsters. On moral decay, elite cowardice, and why we need a moral revolution. Watch here 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=fUJ-... (With one tiny edit at 4:28, for those who notice such things 😉)

This is disappointing because it feels like a capitulation. My wife (a contractor) has one as a work truck and it is awesome. I see many as fleet/contractor vehicles on Vancouver Island. They’re great for that. All that said, they don’t make any sense as a grocery or commuter vehicle. E-bikes FTW.

I encourage everyone to invest 17 minutes to watch. Down with the #broligarchy.

I'm just one guy who's a minority owner in a small development/construction company that uses #Ford Lightnings. We'll never buy another until there's an unequivocal rebuke from Ford leadership. They're really living up to old Henry's ideals. Sigh... #boycot cowardly supporters of #racism

That this won't be Page 1 on @nytimes.com or @washingtonpost.com or @latimes.com with coverage questioning the #mental capacity of #POTUS, condemning the #racism, and calling for invocation of the 25th Amendment tells you everything you need to know about the state of "journalism" in the USA.

Sadly, media cowardice abounds on both sides of the Atlantic.
