He’s had a ghoulish fascination with the idea of using nuclear weapons for years. I assume he’s needed to be talked down from having used them already. www.bbc.com/news/world-u...

Getting pretty tired of the “actually, Congress can’t stop a genocide because they’re on vacation” comments

Trump is usually bluffing. The more his lackeys insist he’s not bluffing, the more likely he is to be bluffing.

Congress is on vacation

The dying pedophile in charge of the U.S. government is threatening to destroy a civilization in an unconstitutional war of aggression launched for absolutely no reason. If Republicans in Congress cared about America, or the constitution, or anything, they’d stop this. They believe in nothing.

>Canadian company builds solar panels in Malawi >is paid in Malawi's (volatile) currency >invests those payments in local farmers growing chili peppers >sells chili peppers to Nando's, in USD >builds sustainable business model on Cheeky Nando's This is my favourite news story of the year so far.

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

My article (with @bradhumphreys.bsky.social ) "Yes, There is an Economic Consensus That Professional Sports Facilities are Inadvisable Public Investments" is now published in Economic Development Quarterly. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Ouch. That did not look good for Vladdy or Clement…

Okamoto looked like me on that one

Ouch

My guess is he has whatever virus Eric Lauer had

Two deep fly balls by the BlueJays. This Dodgers pitcher is not fooling anyone on the #BlueJays

Love the Bluejays fans booing Kyle Tucker. He didn’t take the 10 year offer the Jays made him this off season 😂

Hey drivers, one way to save on expensive fuel is to drive slower. Another is to use public transportation or ride a bike. Any of those will lead to fewer people killed.

Eavesdropping on our President. What will he tell the kids at the Easter event? Will he bestow on them some great wisdom? Ah, grandpa is talking about Biden's autopen

**Onn average**, members of Congress' \portfolios underperform or, at best, match market benchmarks after the STOCK Act. www.nber.org/papers/w35041

Shohei Ohtani currently has: The longest active on-base streak in MLB (40 games) The longest active scoreless inning streak among SP in MLB (22 2/3 IP)

Happy scooters-blocking-sidewalks day to all who celebrate.

A gas saving tip that everyone hates but is 100% effective and accessible for anyone who drives is "go slower"

Yup. Accelerate more slowly and drive the speed limit. You will save money on gas and you will get where you are going in almost the same amount of time

Sensational play by #Whitesox SS Tanner Murray up the middle steals at least a game-tying single from Addison Barger, ending top3 with #Bluejays down 1-0.

Shot, chaser. Tfw when you want to scam people, but you’re just not good at it.

I feel like Eileen Gu going skiing with Justin Trudeau and Prince Harry is an A+ troll of JD Vance

PSA for Canadians trying to do the math on EV « fuel » costs: Take your per kWh electricity cost and *double* it. That’s your « effective gas price » in $/L Eg. $0.15/kWh = $0.30/L effective gas price Compare to this in Vancouver right now… Yup, ICE currently 7x the cost.

#Bluejays shake up the bullpen. Brendon Little has been optioned to #Bisons along with Lazaro Estrada, who was down for a few days anyway. Lefty Joe Mantiply & righty Austin Voth have been called up, both with solid #MLB experience (though not lately). Ponce & Santander to the 60 to make room.

For those of you who hate the bright lights on vehicles that burn your retinas when they approach yoi Transport Canada has a survey about that. tc.canada.ca/en/corporate...

Ottawa wants 75% EV sales by 2035 — but the proposed 74 g/mile standard won’t get us there. If we want a zero-emission fleet, the standard needs to be closer to 40 g/mile or lower. The policy needs to match the ambition. 🎯 buff.ly/BBbMXfQ

If I took this I’d print it, frame it, and get it signed for sure this is 🔥

HE DID IT AGAIN! Adell goes into the crowd to rob JP Crawford of a HR

I just keep watching this catch

Also this one

One of the coolest baseball pics

25k fans at BC Place. Late drama. Just crazy to think MLS would give this up. There has to be a solution

This Trump rumour is all so he can pretend to resurrect himself tomorrow isn’t it?

*movie trailer guy voice*

Jo Adell has robbed both Cal Raleigh and Josh Naylor of home runs tonight

BASEBALL!!!

Ah yes. Vancouver's favourite parking lot: Granville Island.

Before that outing, Little had faced 239 left-handed hitters in the majors and allowed 2 home runs. Matching that total in one game shows how bad a state he's in right now.

At the risk of gatekeeping or policing fandom (gasp, could there be any worse sin?!)…let me share how I approach MY baseball fandom these days. I start from the principle that baseball is HARD. Every aspect of it. Pitching, fielding, hitting, running the bases. It’s all so much harder we know.

Do people remember that platforms used to do content moderation? And the refusal to do so is precisely why most of you moved here from Twitter? The number of people I see saying things like “Sure, harassment is bad, but it’s not like we can do anything about it” is crazy.

Air Canada promises next CEO will gouge customers in both English and French

This story is a front-line version of “Dead Souls”: a savage and corrupt economy of blood for rubles. “Soldiers describe the front lines as a marketplace where everything has a price: drones, medals, home leave and life itself.” economist.com/europe/2026/...

Pope Leo when he hears JD Vance is writing a book about the Catholic faith

“The workmanship, the quality of this engineering prank—it appears to be quite low, quite poor” “UBC Engineering Undergraduate Society denies any knowledge of the prank, and the Faculty of Applied Science said in a statement to The Squamish Chief that it has not confirmed who may be responsible.”

I think it is gross that Rogers Sportsnet is still all in on X for their sports analysis personalities

Argument on the right is whether or not its Canada or Iran that needs invasion
