The American owned Sun is promoting a vigilante as the face for Canada's most multicultural and open city. This is same American owned paper that said crack-smoking Rob Ford should be elected mayor. Toronto - you're better than this. Let's get out the vote for Olivia Chow.

Fun fact: The state fruit of Wisconsin is the cranberry, and some of the approximately 250 growers statewide came together to show the Brewers who they are rooting for in the World Series. (Thanks, Wisconsin State Cranberry Growers Association!)

urban street projections across the globe in Wellington, NZ including solidarity with Toronto. 🔥🔥 @axleryde.bsky.social

One team is going to win their first World Series this year and that pretty great.

When the weight has been stripped down as much as possible, of course it will fly. Check out the underneath of the car 🤣:

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

Anyone who's ever had a tax agency clawback disability or child benefit, or been challenged on a business parking expense stares in disbelief Some delulu conspiracy theorist claims CRA owes him $40m because he's a sovereign citizen, and CRA dutifully coughs up said $40m www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Star Investigation: The government agency responsible for online gambling in Ontario secretly shelved a research study intended to track rates of problem gambling. New from @bkstar.bsky.social:

A cop car carrying a flashing neon sign that says "DOUG FORD HATES YOU." Perfect, no notes, thanks for the great visual @ TV writers of the universe!

If anyone was skeptical, "Musk disables Ukraine's Starlink terminals during a major Russian attack" is a pretty strong argument to get US oligarch tech out of our governments (and out of everywhere else.)

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

What a weird world we live in - Ukraine hits a data centre deep in Russia - Irish twitter users see racist posts about IPAS centres in Offaly fall off a cliff

And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.

OMG. The Yankees didn't win a World Series again this year. What a tragedy! Why is it the default position of so many baseball people that the Yankees going 17 seasons without a championship is some catastrophe when there are 14 other teams in the same boat or worse? WGAF about the Yankees losing?

I wonder if it might be good for activists to put up posters in areas like this naming and shaming the businesses that have pushed for bike lane removal. I know that I would like to know which businesses to avoid giving my money to.

I can't wait to see how salty Yankees fans are about to be when this home run gets called back.

Poll modeling shows Doug Ford's PCs could win another majority government on just 34% of the vote. First-past-the-post bails out unpopular governments while the rest of us suffer. We need proportional representation so governments always represent a broad majority.

Once again, for the politicians, business leaders, and journalists still actively posting on X/Twitter: why? You're using a platform that's owned by someone who's trying to break up your country. The juice isn't worth the squeeze.

10 years ago today, Toronto Blue Jays slugger Edwin Encarnacion belted a walk-off, three-run home run off Ubaldo Jimenez to give the Blue Jays a 5-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles in the American League Wild-Card game.

Wherever you look, first-past-the-post gives politicians total power without a majority vote to reshape key areas like education. Proportional representation adds a vita check on these powers, ensuring decisions about your child’s education require a true majority consensus.

AI CEOs want some high authority to agree that AI can be conscious because it cleans them of culpability when AI does something dangerous or illegal. "The Pope agrees that AI has consciousness therefore we can't be held responsible for our AI nuking Brazil. It was the AI's conscious choice."

look we're all making a big bet on AI! and if it pays off as big as we hope, well, it's going to make a handful of people super rich and you're going to lose your job but get to watch mickey mouse fuck geralt from the witcher. if it doesn't pay off well then you get to pay for the bailouts

EXCLUSIVE: Inside the contract to rip out Toronto’s bike lanes Spacing has obtained the RFP for the Ford government's bike lane removal, and it looks even worse than thought. spacing.ca/toronto/2026... #toronto #bikes #torontobike @cycletoronto.bsky.social

“This bill explicitly gives government the power to end legal strikes when a minister decides that a strike is or could become contrary to the national interest — and the national interest is defined solely by the opinion of the minister,” warns top labour leader Bea Bruske. Holy shit. This is bad.

This is fucked! Toronto mayoral candidate Brad Bradford is using an Israeli AI app to create an army of snitches and reply-guys. The app finds valid criticism of the candidate on social media, gives you an AI-written reply to post, then gives you rewards

Brad Brad braDford is such a snake. For the love of Gord don't vote for this clown.

New investigation: an Israeli app that allows political campaigns to feed supporters AI-generated arguments to use on social media has arrived in Canada. It's being used in the highest profile mayoral campaign in Canada, @rorywh.bsky.social reveals.

don't worry!

Olivia Chow's general disinterest in police and policing should be a major liability in the wake of yet another story of seemingly bottomless TPS corruption. And it would be if Bradford wasn't promising to use police to address all the city's challenges. www.thestar.com/news/gta/stu...

The Shining is my favourite horror movie. It is a masterpiece of a film, and it is made even better by the fact there are a lot of Canadian connections to it. From the hotel itself, to the work of Canadian artists found throughout its haunted interior. 📸 Warner Bros. 🧵 1/19

Well Canada, I hope you enjoyed the already shitty experience of traveling internationally by plane. It's about to get a hundred times shittier.

Every day there's a new post about the CEO who's so smart and the company that's smart and they made the smartest thinking computer that will kill us and one of the very smart employees just quit because the company is too smart and good at making the smart kill computer and you dumbs don't get it

I bet all the people who haven’t been suffering from anxiety for years are feeling pretty stupid now

you can tell Claude writes great code because every website in 2026 has an ever-increasing frequency of timeouts, blank pages, weird errors, and downtime. imagine a carpenter telling you "use this or get left behind" and they hand you a hammer that hits your hand instead of the nail 20% of the time

We had the opportunity to limit catastrophic damage to a 1.5 degree increase but that meant calling on the oil giants to do their part. Canada is now predicting a 3.5 to 5 degrees increase. That will spell the end of civilization. And we are still going all in on a $100 billion pipeline?

They should make a Shazam for movies so you can take a picture and figure out what obscure 80s flick is playing in the background of the loud bar.

I still occasionally dabble in the dark DJ arts. And occasionally I record them and upload them to the internet. This is one of those times. www.mixcloud.com/SummittRouss...

🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:

What's the funniest accidental way to screw up Jazz Chisholm's name? A: Chaz Jisholm (jizzum) B: Jizz Chasholm (chasm) #bluejays #yankees

I was at someone's house all weekend and they still had the clear sticker plastic on their TV that was not new and they use every day. It took all my willpower to not sneak down in the middle of the night and rip the whole unit clean. Please clap.

The internet was a mistake. I should never have to know these things about people I will never meet.
