I regret to report I'm bored enough to get lost in a rando delulu reply.

When I lived in Onterrible I never left the house unless it was for work or groceries. Never felt safe, now I am in Alberta and most fears are gone, but ON is NOT safe.

Crime rate by province. Alberta has a higher crime rate than Ontario.

Beyond the fact it's funny that Ben Mulroney shot that rando down, I find it very funny and telling that everyone on X is acting like Trudeau is still PM. xcancel.com/BenMulroney/...

Ben Mulroney on someone stating he's making a run at CPC leadership: Captain, I’d be very curious to know what obvious signs you have been picking up because I would rather chug jet fuel than run. I’ve already put in my time in Ottawa, thankyouverymuch.

Had to re-run my model on the below for the sake of making sure what I said was correct.

Chart showing political alignment by level of education, conditional on other demographic factors. As education increases, respondents become less likely to align themselves as moderate, and more likely to align themselves as either Liberal or Conservative. It is only at the Graduate level where they become less likely to align themselves as Conservative, and are most likely to be perceive themselves as Liberal.

An example of the problem here. George doesn't care about what this means to Canadians, or even the nature of the relationship between the two countries. If he didn't think it impacted any US industry, it probably wouldn't have registered at all to him.

George Pearkes skeet: RIP Detroit. Okay amending my previous statement: Detroit on death watch, upgraded from RIP.

You can find the most hilarious things in the Wikipedia discussions.

Wikipedia article discussion for list of MWC goalscorers: England and France’s Pathological Obsession with Messi Ruined the Ranking - This list includes the infamous agreement between England and France in the 2026 third-place match, in which they fixed a scandalous scoreline out of spite to take away Lionel Messi's record, following England's elimination by Argentina.

World Cup players were warned before the tournament about a new rule that would result in an immediate red card for anyone covering their mouth when verbally confronting another player.

This should be an absolute scandal that would sink Infantino in a sane world.

Peter Rutzler tweet: Head of the White House World Cup task force, Andrew Giuliani, says the U.S. wanted things to be fair on the pitch "especially when you consider all the federal dollars we laid out for this" when discussing Balogun's suspended suspension.

“We did that. You had that red card, which never should have been administered, reversed. And we stand by the actions that we took.”

This is small potatoes in relation to what else is happening in the world, but this perfectly encapsulates the American mentality. There are proven methods out there that show the way on how to create talent. But they never will because they're too proud to ever learn from others.

Alexi Lalas tweet : Youth soccer (youth sports) is a competitive market with businesses selling a product that obviously customers are willing to pay for. I’d love if soccer was free to all. But who is going to pay for all this free soccer?

This man's brain has been in full meltdown since January 2025. Also, it was stupid to "dissuade" Trump of anything. He threatens military invasion, the only response is GFY.

Over dinner at Mar-a-Lago, Trudeau’s envoys tried to dissuade Trump from absorbing their country. When one Trump aide pointed out Canada’s 41 million people would lean Democrat, the president came up with a neat solution: just split the northern neighbor into two states, one red, the other blue.

See alt for translation.

Michel Platini says he understands Mbappé, but advises him to keep his opinions to himself, especially when he’s wearing the French national team jersey. “He’s right to express them when he’s not wearing the captain’s armband or the French national team jersey,” he explains. “If he’s in Madrid or elsewhere, he can take a political stance, but when you’re wearing the captain’s armband and the French national team jersey, you’re playing for all French people. It’s hard to take a stance.”

--

Michel Platini assure comprendre Mbappé mais lui conseille de garder ses avis pour lui, surtout avec le maillot bleu sur les épaules. "Il a raison de les prendre quand il n'est pas avec le brassard, ni avec le maillot de l'équipe de France", précise-t-il. "S'il est à Madrid ou ailleurs, il peut prendre position politiquement mais avec le brassard et le maillot de l'équipe de France, tu joues pour tous les Français. C'est difficile de prendre position."

See alt text for translation of the first paragraph of this French article. www.leparisien.fr/sports/footb...

Three phone calls from Donald Trump to Gianni Infantino, the involvement of several high-ranking officials in his administration, direct communications with FIFA, and even the search for legal grounds: after half a day of scrutiny, it appears that the U.S. president’s request to overturn the red card given to forward Folarin Balogun may have been more than just a simple request… But rather a very forceful attempt to pressure world soccer’s governing body.

Congrats to all those swearing up and down that the Trump admin had nothing to do with FIFA's decision. You'd think that people on here would know better that they'd look like fools doing so, and yet. www.politico.com/live-updates...

That kicked off four days of coordinated lobbying, legal maneuvering and diplomacy that stretched from the Oval Office to FIFA’s headquarters in Zurich — and underscored how invested Trump’s inner circle had become in the second World Cup hosted on U.S. soil and the fortune of the U.S. men’s national team competing in it. POLITICO spoke to a half-dozen U.S. government and soccer officials who were either directly involved in or briefed on the week’s events.

At least the Norwegian people are cognizant of the impact of their oil industry on climate change and individuals are making active decisions to decarbonize.

Microsoft is raising the price of Xbox consoles by $100-$150, it's announced.

The most important part of the announcement:

"Unfortunately, console storage and memory prices have increased by more than 2.5x and we expect another doubling by the fall of 2027."
