At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause

What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

Catherine O’Hara deserves praise for basically everything she ever did, but her work as Margaret Meehan in SCTV’s “High Q” is one of the funniest sketch comedy performances of all time.

On this date in 1815, John Strachan sent a letter to Thomas Jefferson arguing that the burning of Washington DC was a justifiable retaliation for American depredations during the War of 1812 including the occupation of York.

Okay, so for those of you who don't want to consume AI slop and listen to music via streaming services, sit back and buckle up because boy do I have a story for you... So to start things off, I've been a Spotify subscriber since forever (in addition to purchasing physical media). I've been hesitant

Going to make a thread of some interesting albums from 2001 I haven't noticed being otherwise mentioned in the @bestalbumbrackets.bsky.social discourse.

First, which I discovered only this morning, chill beats, layered sonics:

Two more excellent recommendations from yesterday and today. If you liked Revancho del Tango then also check out:

Nortec Collective - Tijuana Sessions vol 1
Quantic - The 5th Exotic

Both on Bandcamp. The Quantic one doesn't quite have the hooks of the others but the production is top tier.

USA is hostile to Canada. Not the same thing.
Bannon:  Canada is in the vital national security interest of the US.  This is inextricably linked to Hemispheric Defense. Hemispheric Defense for the US starts in Canada. Canada's rapidly changing,  these people are hostile to the US. Not neutral. They're hostile to the United States of America.
NBC: Trump has privately intensified criticism of Canada, arguing it is too weak to defend its Arctic territory from Russia and China. He’s urging higher defense spending and deeper U.S.–Canada Arctic cooperation. Unlike Greenland, Trump is not seeking to acquire Canada or deploy U.S. troops there.

I think some Toronto YIMBYs who find Chow insufficiently to their liking have been talking themselves into fanfiction where Bradford is the viable alternative and I really need folks to understand it's gonna be Chow v. Unrepentant Suburban NIMBYism, that's the ballot.
Brad Bradford is using his former bike riding credibility to curry favour w the anti bike folks and become mayor. 'Don't worry I used to ride a bike and I now hate bike lanes too' (for political gain). This guy is the worst.

Trump's rants about taking over Greenland and Canada isn’t just idle talk, and neither is military action in Mexico. Here’s what to expect.

Have an idea for an ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK remake called LONG LUNCH where a guy is given 24 hours to rescue the President so he decides to go for a really long lunch and then have a nap and maybe catch up on his e-mails. Also, his pvr is a little full so maybe a "Below Deck" marathon is in the cards.
