many years ago I was listening to one of those religious preacher radio stations droning on and on about how you shouldn't let your kids online. Then at the end..."for more information, visit our website!"

after a full day of watching football on Boston network affiliates, my main conclusion is that Chris Pappas is apparently the devil himself. Who is he? What is he even running for? fucked if i know.

i still think at some point, Harvest is going to get the type of headliner who goes on a massive rant and storms off the stage.

I dunno what annoys me more about Harvest - this or the annual thread on r/fredericton where multiple people go "well ackshully" that the people who want to hear the music they paid to hear are the problem. One of the reasons I've cut back on my Harvest intake lately.

this reminds me so much of the Pauline Kael "nobody I know voted for Nixon" quote, but if you look at the full quote, she was at least self-aware about it.

I ran a message board for many years that ran into the same problems - ended up moving the discussion side to a discord server and setting up a wiki for the info I wanted to save.

that's already part of SN+ these days. But it does knock all Monday night games involving Canadian teams off of old school TV.

J.P. Kirby @the506.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

it wasn't enough that Rogers took games off CBC, or they shut down radio stations, or took away the Punjabi feeds, or sold more games to Amazon.... today they announced all Monday NHL games will be Sportsnet+ exclusives for an extra $12/month.

i still think ESPN realized their competition that time of day was Springer and Maury and programmed accordingly.

I really can’t get over what a rookie mistake it is to look the Government of Canada in the eye and say “We’re gonna need you to piss off Quebec.”

He's putting the screws to 'em. Firm and plain talk. He's good at this when it's in a speech environment. Just wondering where *this guy* is in between this speech and his last big Davos speech.

the entire point of the Mark Carney experiment seems to have been to hoodwink liberals and leftists to vote for a conservative.

I may or may not have told people, in this decade, that Wolastoq Wharf was "where the Dairy Queen used to be" and "turn right at the train bridge".

always thought that if it was Ontario or Alberta that was getting ripped off by Quebec in this way, there would have been a constitutional crisis.
