Paul Verhoeven the most vindicated guy to ever exist.

I think Intelligent Systems really got something special with Fire Emblem Fortune‘s Weave. I loved Three Houses but I did only play one story. I‘m just going through Leda’s path and it’s full of intrigue that I’m curious to see how every story goes.

I knew it was bad but I didn’t realize it was “Returning to Pandemic Lows” bad. Also, nice work Mexico.

When it comes to a movie like Digger, I have little or no investment in whether the film itself is actually good. I'm not rooting for or against it. I'm here for the good criticism on both sides. I'm like a celebrity interviewed at the Super Bowl who says "I'm just here to see some great football."

The best and most niche praise I can give to the Primetime soundtrack is that it could have been for an unreleased SimCity sequel.

I think you could get broad support in Canada to nationalize KraftHeinz Canada just to get them to stop all these repulsive KD colabs.

I’m happy they figured this out, but it did take them “Take our access away” to do it and not “Use us as meat targets for Iran“ to do so.

I had to pause a YouTube video after the sponsorship ad read went “[Channel] is proud that we don’t use AI for research, scripts or analysis and definitely not finance or payroll, but our sponsor [AI-powered SaaS platform] is different.” I’m sorry, what are we doing here? Why bother?

It’s bad inside the US and it becomes more ridiculous when it exits the vacuum of US politics. It’s why, despite being wildly unpopular, the current solutions to the trade war with Canada have been discounts for travel, “We love Canada“ weak shows of solidarity, and US politicians meekly tweeting.

If you can’t wait for Metroid Ravenous, Nintendo’s got you in the “woman too angry to die” department with Fortune’s Weave and Leda. She’s got a heck of a character intro.

I shit you not, the article contains the direct quote "We weren't trying to make a political statement." Which is either a lie or some real American galaxy-brained shit.

Qualifying SCTV and its cast as “Canadian also-rans” is wildly more offensive than calling it Lake America.

It’s not that the Bloc would support Canada getting closer to Europe. It’s that it frames it as “You’ll have our support and you, the Federal Government of the nation we hope one day to leave, can do whatever you want.”

The intrusive thoughts kick in sometimes and I just want him to stop with the talk and bar trade already. Just to have the US economy do a little collapse. Just to show that yes, actually he knows truly this little about how finance works.

Stéphane Lachance @lachstep.com · 17/09/2026

It’s actually somehow dumber than this because he repeatedly disregards services in his already stupid calculation. As if subscriptions or finance are a whole separate economy that exists appart from The Economy.

Due to the ongoing trade war, I know auto workers from my home sweet home of Essex County will be hurting. Well, let me propose we go back to our roots, our heritage, and our history. It’s been over 100 years. This October, it’s time Windsor-Essex does what it does best. Rum-running.

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

I’ve long wondered if (English) Canada was a nation where TV/film fiction has struggled to grab people culturally. But I don’t think it’s any sort of a mistake that you have Canadians out here like Matt Johnson and Nathan Fielder bending documentary/candid camera filmmaking to their will.

I've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from

A flow chart I have created with multiple questions and the answers determine where you're from.

Question 1 is do you call it a hydro bill (which then branches down to ON, QC, BC, MB) or an electric bill (which then branches down to SK, AB, NS, NB, PEI, NL)

Question 2 is do you call it a cabin (BC, MB, AB, SK) cottage (ON and atlantic) camp (northern Ontario) chalet (QC) or bungalow (Cape Breton)

To delineate BC from MB: do you call it dinner or supper

To delineate southern Ontario rural or big city: have you heard of a stag & doe

To delineate SK from AB: do you call a hoodie a bunnyhug

And finally to delineate NL from the other atlantic provinces: whaddayat? (Correct answer: dis is it b'y)

Not my baseball team using AI, being called out on it, and then defensively doubling down that this garbled AI-generated nonsense was 100% hand-drawn by an animator

The Toronto Blue Jays post a video on X called Spill The Tea presented by Nestea in Flash animation style

In the comments the Blue Jays double down that they didnt use AI to people who are mad at them

The posters in the background of one scene of the video are garbled beyond imagination. This is clearly generative AI

Even in a best-case scenario with Dems in November, I think: A) It’s gonna be tariff Whack-a-mole between Dems and Trump. B) Canada is rightfully weary about the next time the US goes nuts. C) I don’t know if there’s going to be as much buy-in in Ottawa for joining the US‘ anti-China crusade.
