Christine Sinclair rarely spoke about her mom during Sinclair's iconic soccer career. In a new animated short film (narrated by @vancityreynolds.bsky.social), the depth of feeling is clear. Sinclair didn't figure it out until the end, but she played for her mom. www.thestar.com/sports/socce...

Doug Ford balked on his home building promises / & reforms by giving in to his nimby base, people who are also afraid of people without homes. Good luck Ontario.

Thank you for the precedent. Erasing Trump’s presidency will be fun.

The entire history of the conservative movement is rich white people watching democracy in action and the culture moving forward and being like “that’s not fair.”

They’ve destroyed the freedoms and dignities of the American republic we all enjoyed for the last 50 years. We’ll have to build something new in its place. And we’ll have to be willing to expand the court, add states, and send people to jail as part of that. www.liberalcurrents.com/democrats-ne...

It really is. It really, really is.

It remains astonishing but accepted how bad Reggie Miller is at his job, and then you get him on a truly epic series and it feels like he’s even worse

Jen Gerson on Alberta's quest for separatism is righteously angry, and while I have some quibbles, it is the piece the separatists deserve www.readtheline.ca/p/jen-gerson...

Oh my fucking god I thought they made this up. They did not. I just tried it myself

A lot of you are missing the most obvious follow-up angle to this: If and when Don Jr.'s ex-wife ties the knot with Tiger Woods, there is no chance in the world the big man is missing that one

Looking forward to the photos of Trump playing golf this weekend.

The entire manifesto is dripping with meaning, purpose, and a utopian vision. There is nothing nihilistic about it.

I stopped watching The Boys a long time ago - it was just too gratuitously gruesome for my tastes, in general. But Elon getting this mad about it is objectively hilarious

Bari Weiss offered Anderson Cooper a bigger role at CBS News, but he chose to leave 60 Minutes instead. "I'd prefer less rather than more of you." It's a hard message to miss. I'll say it again: She had no detectable experience in broadcast news. Hers was a political hire. From @status.news:

Alberta: run by clowns

Mon dieu, Les Habs

HOLY SHIT prosecutors kicked off grand jurors and then re-presented the case against the Broadview 6, then altered the grand jury transcripts to hide it from the judge. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

I worked on the USAID Ebola response in 2014 and one of the biggest early lessons learned in that response was that supporting safe and dignified burial of people who had died of Ebola was perhaps the most impactful programs we funded.

NEW: A U.S. counter-terror fusion center believes ICE's tweets are so racist they could incite acts of violence by white supremacists and encourage neo-Nazis to seek employment at the agency, according to an internal memo we obtained. theintercept.com/2026/05/21/i...

Can they get in on this slush fund Trump is setting up for people treated so unfairly by law enforcement

lmao holy shit

This is pretty unusual

The end of Colbert has produced some great TV moments, which if they occurred in a less noisy and chaotic era would be borderline iconic

A conversation that so completely misses the forest for the trees that Wesley Morris should be flat-out embarrassed for himself.

The TACO Paradox: the more the markets price in TACO, the less likely Trump is to actually chicken out And the inverse is valid as well: the less the markets price in TACO, the more likely Trump is to chicken out

Good state

OKC-Spurs is just awesome-inspiring basketball. Just titans, wrestling

And then they apparently ran out of time to pass the motion, because they are clowns

hard to exaggerate how heroic these men were. they likely saved dozens of children's lives. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Technology these days is just a never ending list of things to disable.

A clear-eyed description of what is happening. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/o...

Imagine being stressed out about life and the state of the world and then you walk outside to clear your head and see this

They are going to Maduro Cuba

This is all over the news in Italy. It has triggered a diplomatic incident, but we shall see whether Italian authorities will follow strong words with deeds. One thing is clear: if Ben-Gvir & co. feel they can do this to foreign peace activists, that NYT report is not hard to believe at all

The longer you look at this, the worse it gets

It’s funny because it’s not true

Ok the best part is this is a report based on buying data for Vancity Visa cardholders. So it's only in British Columbia and only for one card.

Arrested Development ass administration.

Every tech company should just be renamed “Black Mirror Profit Scheme”

The funny thing about doubling a number is that you just have to do it repeatedly until it makes a difference

Trump is putting no effort into becoming less unpopular but a TON into putting elements of a coup in place. Some of them may remain invisible, but the ones we can see point to his general approach: violent intimidation + corrupt judges + executive branch and congressional coconspirators + bribes.

The ahmadinejad thing is unstoppably hilarious. Zoomers don’t know this but it seemed like every day in my teen years CNN was telling me how much this guy was Hitler We apparently wanted to install Hitler, but were too dumb and violent to make it work

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Meanwhile, Bezos is on TV saying funding the Melania movie and trashing the Washington Post were both great business decision

[checks Amazon for pitchforks and torches]

I think a lot of our doomier politics are informed by having to sit idly by and watch a bunch of selfish shitheads reject the entire idea of society and loot the public coffers during and immediately after the COVID pandemic

This is so embarrassing

look i don't pretend to be any Iran or geopolitical chess master but this seems bat shit insane. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...
