"I want to experience new cultures, new things outside of what I know". It's almost unfathomable to me that a male hockey player would ever say this.

Sounds like John Chayka used AI to write his intro speech

It's time to talk about hockey media in Canada. Actually, it has been time for awhile. My thoughts on comments from Insiders, hockey media approaches, using language correctly, and accountability - or the lack of it. www.cbc.ca/sports/hocke...

As a Canucks fan, this is sounding like a relief. Thank you China.

It seems cruel to make the Vancouver Canucks play another 38 games this season

I'm sure a man who's never lived one moment outside hockey culture knows how to fix a deeply broken system

1. Headlines everywhere today read "Grok apologizes." This is bullshit. A chatbot is not something that can apologize. Pretending otherwise is simple laundering these companies' bullshit about what AI is, while diffusing blame away from the human beings that developed and released this system.

Wasn't expecting Global News to be a major figure in Bari Weiss' downfall (she'll unfortunately continue in her role, but at least both her malice and incompetent are more widely known now)

Disney decided their long standing core value of suppressing creative labour rights trumped their other long standing core value of zealously expanding copyright law

Oh no, we can't loose the strict adherence to traditional ideas of gender and sexuality that the Looney Tunes cartoons were so famous for.

The problem is Netflix doesn't even want you to watch movies at home. It wants you to have content on in the background.

Hockey (men's hockey in particular) could honour Ken Dryden by embracing a culture where players have multiple interests and are encouraged to be curious

That part

“Given the ongoing genocide in Gaza…we call on Sport Canada and Tennis Canada to forbid Canadian athletes to compete against Israeli athletes at the Davis Cup and all other international events.” - 413 🇨🇦 academics, athletes + sports journalists, inc 3 former UN special rapporteurs + an Olympic 🥈ist

I can't believe the NHL actually put out a good statement (alas they won't stick to it): globalnews.ca/news/1130336...

Big media conglomerates love to use the excuse of streaming for why traditional distribution is unprofitable and people largely buy it, but it's just a replication of killing still profitable newspapers because of "the internet". These are mostly ideological cuts.

Christmas in July is currently on Hallmark. Christmas in July comes earlier ever year

New NHL draft format looks like the set of an early 2000s game show

Featuring my article on how mainstream hockey media offers easy redemption arcs

I seem to remember when Daniel Sedin took this approach, it was received a lot less heroically

19 companies that have pulled support of Pride parades, in whole or in part, this year: Lowe's Dyson Nivea Tiffany & Co. Toyota Capital One UPS Disney DoorDash Live Nation Anheuser-Busch Diageo PepsiCo Nissan PricewaterhouseCoopers Citi Mastercard Booz Allen Hamilton Deloitte

Excellent start, smart to target the Frost's Canadian stars

Prioritizing empathy is needed to combat fascism, especially because fascists are deliberately trying to eliminate empathy from society.

Iranian director Jafar Panahi wins Palme d’Or at Cannes for It Was Just an Accident

Pete DeBoer, the Carolina Hurricanes of the Western Conference Finals

Maybe the Leafs will spend the next year pretending Matthews isn't hurt and just telling him he needs to get in better shape

“chicago pope” is one of the shows jack donaghy greenlit when he was tanking nbc

“The pope will be from Chicago” sounds like an 1880s Republican’s dire prediction for if we don’t stop Irish immigration

like what the fuck are we even doing here

Listened to the NYT interview a far right boutique press publisher who publishes both Curtis Yarvin and hilariously Hardy Boys books in their original unwoke text. The guy was going on about the need for truth while also saying it's important to publish things like Holocaust denial. A deep thinker

Sad in a world of endless Star Wars merchandise there's no Kathryn Hunter Andor action figure

it is incredibly telling and unfortunate that every single publication seems hell-bent on punishing WB for giving a successful black director money for an original movie, even if it's actually going over well. and that's something the industry should examine but of course they will not

this is the NEW YORK TIMES griping over Sinners having an "enormous" budget. it cost one third of whatever Netflix action pap that literally spends one week in one theater. it just had an amazing opening weekend with guaranteed WOM. WHAT ARE WE DOING www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/b...

Disturbing state of the theatrical experience: Cineplex is advertising holding your hybrid Zoom meeting in the theatre

I went down a rabbit hole into the "physical Switch 2 games cost $90" claim and found a self-feeding cycle of misinformation that speaks to how Google is making us all dumber. www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/no-sw...

The NHL's idea of finding celebrities to congratulate Ovechkin included... Pat Monahan from Train 🤨

"the first large-scale application of AI technology to geopolitics" has led to absurd policy, based on laughably stupid math, that will fuel cross-hemispheric economic devastation. any tech bros celebrating this should never be taken seriously ever again bsky.app/profile/dans...

💔 I will be posting a video about this soon, too.

I’m sure this is true in many, many disciplines but often the secret to writing a provocative take that everybody talks about is to know very, very little about your subject matter

OK, this is almost funny

Got to hand it to Chicago for acquiring Shea Weber from Utah. Not often you can acquire someone already in the Hall of Fame

Now, if readers want an AI powered tool to defend the KKK, their only option is Elon Musk :/

What a trip. 20 years later Kanye is selling t-shirts with swastikas on them and Mike Myers is the one calling out an American president on live television.

It is truly fucking wild how the introductory thesis of this argument is, "As we all know, men will find any loophole they can to be sex criminals and degenerates. My primary source on this is me, a degenerate."

What’s hysterical is reading about the origins of it. He had a deal with Marvel to appear in a comic. No writer would write it because of the whole con artist thing. So Marv Wolfman had to do it as editor in chief in his own book. And he was NOT happy. He was even sarcastic in the letters column

It's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right argues @garethwatkins.bsky.social newsocialist.org.uk/transmission...

You know the lesson Hockey Canada is going to take from this tournament is they need Tom Wilson on the Olympic team

The more the players complain about anthem booing, the louder I hope the booing gets
