finally watched big short and its message is so crystal clear to this day: the risky behaviour in banking is so profitable and assured to be backed by bailouts that their execs can “mess up” and still bounce back because the callousness and ruthlessness are the true currencies

Folks are rightfully going to share their favorite roles of Catherine O’Hara but, if you have a few minutes today, I’m going to recommend something a little different:

Her eulogy for John Candy — a beautiful testament to him, sure, but an emotional glimpse at who SHE always seemed to be, too.

I very much enjoyed this Jay-Den episode. Was excited to learn more about him since the premiere. And between last week and this week, I feel like they’re dropping some hints about him and I really hope I’m right!! 🥹 #StarfleetAcademy

This is Nazi shit and that’s not hyperbole
Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.

Will this stop them from kidnapping children or adults and disappearing them into secret prisons or planes that take them to other countries?
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:

DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools

"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

Haven’t seen this film since I watched it in theatres. I remember it being fairly impactful at the time and wondering if it’ll still hold up for me now.

Canadians, if you care about Canada, you need to contact your MP and fight this.

Mark Carney is gutting Standards Canada, Statistics Canada, Agriculture and AgriFood Canada, and is putting loads of money into AMERICAN AI COMPANIES AND AMERICA-BASED SERVERS.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Or, Heated Rivalry only exists because of CanCon requirements. Otherwise CTV/Bell/Crave would have just imported another American show.
Just because it's successful doesn't mean that it isn't a product of the ecosystem it was created in.

Wondering why Canada hasn’t increased the travel advisory warning for a country with its own modern-day gestapo that’s hiding their identity to kidnap people off the streets and whose government is justifying its secret policeman murdering citizens in public, on tape, and in cold blood

Yes, it was made for tv but it has some of the most beautiful music. Plus, this is probably my favourite interpretation of the Arthurian legend

Glad the Feds followed through on this. Every Toronto city councillor who voted against sixplexes should be ashamed at screwing the city over like this www.cp24.com/politics/tor...

Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash.

Carney of all people should know the importance of high-quality data and information about the country.
