Boring News is marketed as a solution to declining local news in Canada. In reality, the website is AI news slop filled with errors, made up quotes and fake photos. My story for the @winnipegfreepress.com: www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-lif...

i mean yeah, depending on region, many of us have woken up drunk at a waffle house

ah, the *viral* meal slop trend, not all those obscure slops

The supposedly inevitable march of AI dominance in the arts is looking a little more evitable today.

I talked to @guypidgeotto.bsky.social about Stuck’s Optimizer, which comes out Friday.

FWIW absolutely no one I know who has expertise in spaceflight or planetary exploration thinks this is either remotely plausible or a good idea to attempt on such a timeline. The dominant reaction is somewhere on the spectrum between mockery and dismay. Real, important science was cancelled for this

OK damn, I was going to make fun of his answer on a united Ireland but then he had to perfectly articulate how I personally feel about being Irish

Hey, @benryanwriter.bsky.social - I pointed out the glaring error in this analysis. NO SUICIDE PREVENTION PROTOCOL FOR TEENS IS STUDIED AGAINST COMPLETED SUICIDES!

This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon. Part of a lawsuit by @acls1919.bsky.social, @modernlanguage.bsky.social + @historians.org

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Mar 10 Reuters WV joins over a dozen states banning Medicaid payments for gender surgeries after appeals panel overturns lower court ruling and--citing Skrmetti--finds states have an legitimate interest in forcing their citizens to "appreciate their sex."

Hannah Sabio-Howell wants to knock the crown off Senate Majority Leader Jamie Pedersen's head in the 43rd district. This is going to be a very interesting race. My feature: www.thestranger.com/news/2026/03...

Texas AG Ken Paxton has declared that it is illegal for mental health providers and therapists to treat trans youth. It means that trans youth will be denied access to any mental healthcare that isn't conversion therapy. Paxton also threatens parents of trans youth with child abuse investigations.

Remember how Trump's SOTU included a line about how he'd stopped eight wars, including Israel v. Iran?

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

A lot of people see politics, and reality, as narrative. More than one thing can happen at once, and does.

i just want to say that this king went to redhot ranch after saving the baby which means he gets what is good on a spiritual level

"There's a specific kind of lie that powerful men tell when the walls start closing in: the minimizing lie, the "it wasn't what it looked like" lie, the "I was barely there" lie. Bill Gates tried that last one earlier this month. www.thestranger.com/news/2026/02...

Every stage of this process - his arrest, spending a year in jail, being dumped on the streets to die - would be deeply shameful in a society that actually valued human life.

Every day there's some new horror. Forcing trans people off their hormones is just absolutely sadistic.

Turns out the headline the editor chose for my report on the location of the proposed ICE detention center in Hutchins, Texas was wrong. A massive public uproar followed our reporting and the owner said they will not be selling the warehouse to ICE as of today. www.dmagazine.com/micropost/br...

The idea that the brain is locked in by age 25 is a myth, an oversimplification of neurology. This is not how brains work. And based on this conversation, we can only deduce some brains never develop at all
