This is how I'd pick my team of the tourney. Couldn't think of anyone on the left who looked better than Vini Jr did.

First XI: Diogo Costa, Nuno Mendes, Laporte, Upamecano, Porro, Rice, Rodri, Vini Jr., Bellingham, Messi, Mbappe
Second XI: Vozhina, Spence, Romero, Cubarsi, Hakimi, Enzo, Bouaddi, Diomande, Manzambi, Dembele, Haaland

I'm not confident the transformation will be anything positive, but I'm surprised I didn't skew closer to 'Bad.'

I guess I can rest now.

A perfect 82-0 projection from the game 82-0.com. Russell Westbrook, Dejounte Murray, Kevin Durant, Tom Chambers, and Wilt Chamberlain make up the starting 5.

If the mayoral candidates for Vancouver wanted to find themselves a winning issue, opposing this bullshit seems like a pretty clear slam dunk.

The proposed facilities include a 100,000-square-foot, repurposed facility in the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, as well as a 400,000-square-foot development at 150 West Georgia—adjacent to Vancouver’s BC Place stadium. Both neighborhoods are densely populated, with the downtown area counting tens of thousands of residents and Mount Pleasant being home to more than 30,000 residents. BetaKit reached out to Telus to ask how the company plans on integrating the facilities into such densely populated neighbourhoods, but has not yet received a response.

Huh, seems bad! open.substack.com/pub/theorcha...

Inside the event, Hannaford wrote in his Western Standard column, “Nicolaides laid out the scope of Marxist infiltration into the teachers’ training colleges, the use of ‘revolutionary’ textbooks for prospective teachers and the pre-graduation requirement for them to not only study DEI but attend a protest.”

It’s unclear what mandatory protest Nicolaides was referring to. An inquiry to his office for clarification went unacknowledged by deadline.

Meme design is my passion

The anakin-padme meme template with Mark Carney's face poorly imposed over Anakin's face. "The rules based international order is broken" "And we're going to fix it, right?" *pause* "And we're going to fix it, right?"

Daniel Kite@dphk604905· Feb 28

So many in the replies going "this is good because what else can Carney do?" are giving big Dril energy. There is absolutely value in saying bad things are bad, and last time I checked, flagrant aggression and wars that result in children dying are bad. This isn't actually that complicated.

A tweet from dril: the wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: "theres actually zero difference between good & bad things. you imbecile. you fucking moron."

Update: The response from the office of Evan Solomon (typed in the alt text) is...uninspiring. This is not a serious person. "Platforms and AI developers have a responsibility to take reasonable steps." My guy, you know who else might have that responsibility?

A response from the office of Evan Solomon:

Thank you for reaching out to share your concerns regarding recent reports of deepfake images generated by the artificial intelligence chatbot Grok on the social media platform X.

I want to be clear: deepfake sexual abuse is violence. Canadians should be able to participate online without fear that their image will be misused or manipulated without consent, particularly women and young people. Platforms and AI developers have a responsibility to take reasonable steps to prevent this kind of harm.

Our government is continuing to advance the responsible development and use of artificial intelligence in Canada. A key part of this work is Bill C-16, which would amend the Criminal Code to clarify that non-consensual deepfake intimate images are treated as intimate images for the purposes of the offence of publication without consent. This legislation would strengthen protections for victims and help ensure that those who misuse these technologies are held accountable.

In addition, the government is working on new online harms legislation focused on improving platform safety and accountability, as well as updated data and privacy protections that would give Canadians more control over how their personal data is used in the digital environment.

Technology companies and AI developers must take responsibility for the tools they create and ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to prevent harm. Our focus remains on protecting Canadians, enforcing the law, and ensuring digital technologies are used in a way that is safe and responsible.

Thank you again for taking the time to write. Your concerns are important, and we remain committed to addressing online harms while supporting innovation that serves the public good.

Sincerely,

Office of Evan Solomon

My letter to Evan Solomon, Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation. You can copy the letter from the alt text and amend as you like (I deleted the line about being a teacher in the alt text). Also open to feedback to improve future iterations of this letter.

Dear Evan Solomon,I'm inquiring as to what your government plans to do to combat the spread of sexual harassment and abuse facilitated by X and GrokAI. It should not go unnoticed that some of the most vulnerable people in our society—primarily women and children—are being victimized daily on X. No one deserves to be sexualized publicly and non-consensually, and there's absolutely no way our country should accept that there's a readily available platform for producing child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Sources for the claims above include:

https://www.ft.com/content/0747a53c-19b6-4ed9-8eea-88c327f27fe6
https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/grok-ai-deepfake-porn-elon-musk-1235494809/
https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/grok-says-safeguard-lapses-led-images-minors-minimal-clothing-x-2026-01-02/
https://zeteo.com/p/-musk-grok-undressing-women-children

Frankly, it is an outrage that this platform continues to be used by Canadian government officials as a primary means of communication and interaction with the public. Immediate action should be taken to ban X in Canada to protect vulnerable Canadians from facing sexual harassment and abuse. Furthermore, as the Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation, your top priority should be protecting Canadians by drafting legislation that would provide protection from, and accountability for, any platforms that produce CSAM, revenge porn, and other sexually abusive materials. I look forward to hearing your plans for this soon, as any type of delayed or noncommittal response will result in potentially hundreds, if not thousands, more people—primarily women and children—being the victims of sexual harassment and abuse. That is the harm that will sit on your conscience and on your record if you do not act now. Do the right thing. Ban X and regulate AI to protect Canadians.Regards,

How does the CBC not reference in the invasion of Iraq when Trump has explicitly stated the desire to acquire Venezuela's oil? Or the decades of American meddling in countries around the world? Seems relevant to me! www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

A section from the CBC article linked:

Action recalls past U.S. interventions

While various Latin American governments oppose Maduro and say he stole the 2024 vote, direct U.S. action revives painful memories of past interventions and is generally strongly opposed by governments and populations in the region.

Trump's action recalls the Monroe Doctrine, set out in 1823 by then-president James Monroe, laying U.S. claim to influence in the region, as well as the "gunboat diplomacy" seen under Theodore Roosevelt in the early 1900s.

The U.S. has not made such a direct intervention in its backyard region since the invasion of Panama 37 years ago to depose military leader Manuel Noriega over similar allegations to those directed against Maduro.

In the Panama case, Noriega ended up in prison for 20 years.

Elle. Oh. Elle. The Line is such a rag, my goodness.

A paragraph from a recent article from The Line, which reads: I’ve seen this firsthand in my own field of history. For an article I submitted to a top journal on the debate over renaming Toronto’s Dundas Street, three different peer review experts thought it was irrelevant to mention the wider history of slavery in Africa before and after the Atlantic slave trade and amongst Indigenous peoples in Canada. The peer reviewers didn’t question the truth of what I claimed. But they made it their “expert” opinion that such a topic was irrelevant and “off limits.” On the progressive part of the political spectrum, to mention the involvement of Africans or Indigenous peoples as slave traders themselves is seen to be in bad taste. It’s just not done. And so the public record is quietly edited by consensus.

I highlighted the second sentence.

Daniel Kite@dphk604905· Jul 24

How can "actual consent" and "fear" can be compatible in any way? Unless you just straight up think E.M. is lying, which just reads like the worst misogynistic read of E.M.'s testimony. Hockey Canada is rotten to the core, and our justice system helps maintain that.

Quote: As part of her reasons - that are still being read in the courtroom at this time - Carroccia said, "in this case, I have found actual consent not vitiated by fear."

I mean, come on. How can you get rid of Ange now? Absolute legend.

A quote from the article in the previous post: "We’ve all got to put on different hats sometimes, whether it’s fronting up to media, the changing rooms or the board, but I caught up with him here in Australia when Tottenham played a friendly game in pre-season last year, and it was just great. We had lunch together. He’s just living his best life. He loves football; he’s a football historian. If you didn’t know, we had posters of Glenn Hoddle and Kenny Dalglish on our walls. For him to be managing a club of the ilk of Tottenham, it’s just freaking crazy. I love it. It’s kind of a dream, parallel universe thing."

Great day to support public education. Underfunding is a choice. Neglecting obvious needs is a choice. The BC NDP is making these choices, and they're hurting kids by doing so. Shame on them.

You can see both parties dip here in what I believe will be Singh's riding (unless things have changed?), but a much greater dip from the NDP. Pretty brutal look. Folks clearly aren't buying them as a viable alternative, or at the very least consider them the least interesting of 3 similar choices.

Not knocking the "Ford-lite" allegations easily when Liberal insiders are calling the Ontario election a "success." This isn't a novel take, but the LPC/OLPC's shamelessness about their love for the status quo is so tone-deaf and stupid.

A screenshot of a headline and byline that read:
After failing to win her riding, Ontario Liberals grapple with Crombie’s future

With 14 MPPs elected across the province on Thursday, the centrists returned to official party status. Of course, party leader Bonnie Crombie was not one of them. Despite the personal setback for the popular former mayor of Mississauga, insiders see the Liberals’ overall performance as a relative success. Sources tell our Queen’s Park Bureau don’t expect Crombie to step down anytime soon.
