Levy is a vicious gutter racist and the fact that not only is she comfortable enough with Bradford to campaign for him, but that he accepted her support, makes it obvious where his allegiances lie.

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

Graeme Bayliss: His cyclist friend was killed. Why did Doug Ford’s response include ‘lmao’?
No one is expecting the premier to mash out the Bixby letter on his iPhone. Yet we might expect more than this.

I often think about the speed camera chopping vigilante who returned to the scene of their crime on Parkside Drive multiple times but Toronto police didn’t catch them & it led to Doug Ford banning speed cameras for 16 million people & now speeding is at epidemic levels & people will die.

Before we mock Eggers any further, consider that "sources" might be OTHER people who don't know the difference between Old English and the Early Modern English of Shakespeare. Also: If what Eggers really intends is to have the actors use Original Pronunciation, THAT could be interesting and fun!

The Emma Frost x Miss Piggy comic has hit the internet and it's so, so, so much more magnificent than I ever could have hoped for
Emma Frost: "Emma Frost, darling. I'm a telepath. May I read your mind to ascertain if you're telling the truth?"

Miss Piggy: "But of course, darling I am an open book, a tell-all memoir."Emma Frost telepathically witnessing the entirety of Miss Piggy's life.Wolverine: "Frost? She legit?"
Emma Frost: "She's..She's... She's everything. And I would die for her."

Massive, massive range of changes in this bill. Fucking hell. Godspeed, everyone! Government press release here: www.canada.ca/en/one-canad...
The proposed legislation will:
• Build Canada Now: Get projects in Canada built faster by ensuring federal reviews and decisions are completed within one year of a proponent submitting comprehensive application.
• The legislation will establish clearer, simpler, and more predictable processes for project proponents and Indigenous groups participating in project consultations, giving investors the certainty they need to put capital to work and build in Canada.
• This will accelerate investment, strengthen our economy, enhance energy security, and create high-paying careers for Canadians while protecting nature and the environment, and in full respect of Indigenous rights.
• Keep Canada Moving: Strengthen Canada's trade corridors and ports to move Canadian goods faster, unlock new markets, and build more resilient supply chains.
• Canada will formally designate strategic trade corridors, remove bottlenecks, and establish a transportation project office to coordinate federal permitting and advance priority transportation projects within one-year.
• Legislative changes will also modernise port governance, advance new trade digitalization strategies, reduce administrative burdens, and create clearer, more predictable rules that attract private investment and make our ports more competitive.
• These measures will help Canadian businesses build, and connect them to more global markets, while maintaining high standards for safety, security, and sustainability.
• Canada Strong For All: Modernise the federal labour framework and strengthen protection for workers in federally regulated industries.
• Changes to the Canada Labour Code will strengthen collective bargaining by helping parties address issues earlier, reach negotiated agreements, and resolve disputes while fully protecting the right to strike.
• Additional measures will modernise federal labour protections to keep pace with a changing economy.
• The government will also be adding 100 new health and safety officers t…

This is specifically about Bluesky leadership but I think it's astute and generalizable. Is frustration over the ordinary, basic friction involved in just regular conversations with someone who doesn't exist to serve them going to be something we increasingly see in heavy chatbot users?

This is definitive proof that taxes are too low.
A Temu Canada ad shows a picture of a statue of a goose standing on a wooden step-stool next to a flowering shrub. The goose is jauntily wearing a red hoodie. A manicured lawn, trees, and a house are in the background. The text is cut off but reads in part "Porch Goose Outfits... Free shipping."

BREAKING: Jeremy the Bear will no longer be opening for Ed Sheeran. "I'm a bear named Jeremy I can do most anything I can play and I can sing But I won't open for a genocidaire" said the bear in a statement released to the media through his publicist, Raven-12.
Jeremy the Bear, a stop-motion animated bear from the 1970s children's television show of the same name, stands on a stage performing. The show was called Colargol in the original French and Barnaby in the U.K.
