My favourite story about penalties was Alan Shearer would practice them before games. He'd absolutely blast all attempts into the right top corner for all to see. Then he'd get a penalty kick and just blast it into the top left. Or vice versa. There was no half measure with that man.

He was then banned from the team.

Yup. You beat me by 2 points.

I'm not certain how likely this is as it requires tech companies to be honest and helpful as they go about it, but I would like to see the attempt.

They aren't great but they're fun, short and snappy that you don't really scroll on the phone. We need these types of movies in all genres.

Jason Statham makes some of the absolute best "I've got time to kill" action movies. The 80s used to be full of them. Now, if feels like it's just Statham.

thank you jason statham for continuing to make movies for me, personally the original has a scene in which a scammer tries to bribe statham with nfts and is immediately tied to a truck and driven off a bridge and there has never been anything more laser-targeted at me in my life

Their campaign strategy is literally "trust me, bro".

Reading Mathieu Olivier of the Blue Jackets is apologizing after hitting an opponent in the balls with his stick. Maybe hockey is finally starting to mature and will be more responsible around keeping each other safe. Sorry, who'd he slash? A Panther?! THE MAN DID NOTHING WRONG! RECIND THE PENALTY

Add that to her lefty support, feels like a natural choice not to run as police mayor.

010

Chow could trumpet "crime is down. Look how I've supported police and safety." and those who are convinced they'll get stabbed on the TTC will just attack her for it. "Why aren't we safe with all this money you're spending?!" "Actually, you are" "I DON'T FEEL SAFE" It's lose-lose with many.

220

It's a good point but I'll offer another persoective: Bradford is running less a tough on crime campaign than a Toronto is Unsafe, preying on people's perceptions of danger rather then reality. You can't fact those fears away. In fact, trying usually just makes the fearful more angry.

As he let's in another one, no, I will never forgive Sam Bennett, the Panthers, nor the NHL for just allowing a player to brain a goalie for free. Last time I think I watched a game with any real care.

Stolarz almost single handedly made everyone believe Craig Berube was a good hire. Shame he's never been right since the Panthers scrambled his brain.

I get that they see it as a positive background story, but it's hard to see this coms as anything more than this:

The xkcd "someone is wrong on the internet" cartoon. A stick man is sitting at a computer.

Voice, off panel: "Are you coming to bed?"
Man "I can't. This is important."
Voice "what?"
Man "Someone is wrong on the internet."

I feel it's a real sign that Bradford is as thin skinned as reports suggest. He could just brush it off as "dumb people on the internet" but instead feels the need to correct them.

It's distressing how many online voices still want to back the current Man City team because the cheating was in the past. A fundamental willingness to award them the fruits of a decade of cheating, as they wouldn't have this team otherwise, and of which there still isn't deniable they ever stopped.

Reposting with alt text because it feels important

[Long Instagram post from Gilbert Trejo, Danny Trejo's son]

For anyone seeing this shit with my dad...

He was booked on a film, it's not pro-ice, it's not overtly pro anything. His agent described it as "a complicated story about a complicated time, where everyone looks bad except you, the hardworking Mexican shop owner who just wants peace"

He jumped at the idea of playing a good guy.

About 2 weeks into shooting everyone, including us, found out Ben Shapiro was involved.

My 82 year old dad has never heard of Ben Shapiro, I had to explain to him who that is, and what kind of guy he is.

My dad contractually can't bad mouth him, the film, or walk away without being sued for breach of contract. He couldn't even release the statement he wanted to.

It's fucked up. He's handcuffed to this stupid project, and swaths of people have instantly turned their back on him without knowing any of the facts.

Ben Shapiro got Mexicans to abandon one of their heroes, got his own name to the top of google's searches, and made us look like angry fools lacking any nuance. He wins.

It seems apt that Manchester City fans adopted the Poznan, a celebration where everybody looks the other way.

As we all know, at any point during a family Thanksgiving dinner, a line can be dropped that can disrupt all festivities and replace them with argument and frustration. This year, I offer perhaps the most bizarre instance from my family: "But you know, red squirrels aren't actually squirrels."

There is a real risk that these models will do more harmful things, but the risk is not that they will "go rogue", the risk is that the gen AI companies will continue irresponsibly rushing out broken software because they think they're above the law. We can fix that problem at any time!

There's a word for software that behaves in unexpected or unintended ways - a bug. This is inadequately tested software riddled with major bugs, and that is a real and important story, but it has nothing to do with the ridiculous idea that the computers are alive.

About a week before the province votes on a possible referendum to separate, premier "we are better as a part of Canada" goes public about fake "federal interference" on provincial affairs, which are actually municipal. Smooth.
