Every Brad Bradford endorsement is like, "Toronto used to be a utopia with zero problems. Now it is only fit for the most violent of rats, where sentient crack pipes murder you in dark alleys and feral child gangs feast on the Lululemons of my yoga mom group. Brad will fix this. I live in Whitby."

Like I’m always seeing posts from people being like “I hope IKF / Varsho / Hoffman still feel like SHIT” and it’s like… do you really think they don’t? Do you really think losing the World Series in a historically painful fashion was worse for you than it was for them?

Godspeed and farewell to Cheetah Chrome (born Eugene Richard O’Connor), the Cleveland-born punk-rock guitarist and founding member of the Dead Boys. A true architect of early American punk, he first rose with Rocket from the Tombs before co-founding the Dead Boys. #RIPCheetahChrome

I mean this very, very seriously: It is absolutely an option for us to ignore his idiotic Lake America stunt. We can do that. We can just tune it out like you would block out a child howling at you in the cereal aisle, recognizing that to do anything else would be to give the whiner what they want.

2/ Canada’s participation in this spectacle puts progressive Canadians at real risk. It’s outrageous, and the Prime Minister owes Canadians an explanation as to why he’s involving our country in this ugly episode.

Reminder that Carney has cut funding for Natural Resources Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Indigenous and Northern Affairs, and Indigenous Services. And he has rolled back climate protections, abandoned emissions targets, and is building more pipelines.
Carney:

"The wildfire situation has escalated significantly over the last three weeks across the country, and particularly in Northwestern Ontario. 

Thousands of people have been forced to evacuate their communities, not knowing if their homes will survive.  
 
On behalf of Canadians, I want to thank the brave firefighters, first responders, Indigenous and local leaders who are working tirelessly to keep people safe.
 
Our government is in close contact with provincial, municipal, and Indigenous partners and stands ready to provide any additional support as needed."

Trump is a criminal, and a terrible human, and a narcissist, but the quality that is going to end up defining him is that he is extraordinarily stupid and doesn’t have even a thin grasp of the issues he’s meddling in. He’s like one of those inbred medieval kings who is incapacitated.

Fernie, British Columbia is a place full of legends and myths. Stories of the mountain man Griz, the Ghost Rider of Mount Hosmer, the Legend of The Three Sisters and the Fernie Curse, have all influenced the culture of the town. These are the stories. 🧵 1/10
Large wooden welcome sign reading Fernie in stylized white lettering with the word Welcome below. The sign is mounted between two thick log posts set on a low stone base. Colorful flowers bloom in front of the sign, with evergreen trees behind it. In the background, a metal mining headframe rises above the trees, with forested hills and mountains visible beyond under a partly cloudy sky.

I’m currently reading The Power Broker. Are you impressed? You should be. I am big-boy writer who reads big-boy books. A thousand-page investigation into the life of a powerful bureaucrat is nothing to me. I’m gonna finish The Power Broker, and then you will regard me as one of the world’s elite readers, as you should.

There’s just one problem. I’m also reading Paper, by Mark Kurlansky. And Island of the Blue Foxes, by Stephen Brown. And Coffeeland, by Augustine Sedegwick. And a dozen other books too, all at the same time. I also paused in the middle of reading all of those books to read, in its entirety, a history of The Cars, even though I was never that into The Cars. Reading that book led me to reading an entire oral history of MTV’s first decade on the air, which led me to reading an entire oral history of the Sunset Strip hair metal scene in the 1980s. Oh and after that, I finally started in on Mick Herron’s Slow Horses novels, which I’m definitely gonna finish before I return to all of those other books I’m reading, like the first one I mentioned. The Power Broker. I think that was the name of it.

On the lamb: 50 sheep break away from flock and storm German supermarket
Woolly incursion occurred during seasonal migration of animals in the Bavarian municipality of Burgsinn About 50 wayward sheep have broken off from their flock and stormed a discount supermarket in German town, startling and delighting customers as they rushed to explore the aisles before being escorted from the premises. The woolly incursion occurred on Monday during a routine seasonal migration of the farm animals in the Bavarian municipality of Burgsinn. A few dozen of the sheep had other ideas about the route and made their way into a store of the Penny retail chain. Continue reading...

To recap: Doug Ford destroyed parkland at Ontario Place for a private waterpark; closed Ontario Science Centre under false pretenses; and now is moving the OSC into Harbourfront. Partial destruction of one public place; permanent destruction of another; longterm takeover of a third.
