Note for those interested in downloading - season 4-5 is essentially the network 90 episodes split into 2-3 (with the old stuff they reused in the first season excluded).
SCTV is on Internet Archive if you'd like to enjoy the early work of Catherine O'Hara and her fellow sketch comedy gods.

CM Punk having "Support labor unions" written in small letters on his wrist tape as he poses for a photo with Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. The women's full body suits get 20 cm shorter. These are future battles to be won in this slow, very profitable, cultural revolution.

The thing that bothers me so much about Carney's joke about greenlighting the Heated Rivalry show is that it furthers the narrative that it's a needle in a haystack. Anyone who reads Canadian books and watches Canadian film knows that we could have dozens more HRs with enough funding.

Catherine O'Hara, apart from being an absolute smokeshow, was one of the most fearless comedic performers I've ever seen. Lola Heatherton was terrifying and sad and hilarious all at once.

Only upside is that it happened on a Friday, because Canada's going to need to shut down for a couple days over this.

Someday—probably after she’s gone—we’ll hopefully be able to have an honest reckoning of Oprah’s outsized, decades-long role in poisoning our culture by elevating and mainstreaming reactionary grifters and pseudoscientific woo woo wellness bullshit.

So weird as a Torontonian of a certain age to see CHOIR CHOIR CHOIR become famous worldwide but you still know the main guy as "the surliest waiter in history at Aunties and Uncles."
Just like the lead singer of Fucked Up is "the guy who would give me a break on late fees at Suspect Video".

Brad Bradford lies; must be a day ending in Y.
Clear car lanes, unusable bike lanes, two days after the blizzard (Tuesday aft). It’s a ton of snow & will take time sure, but you have mayoral candidate Brad “I sleep with a bat” Bradford trying to say it’s the other way around to gin up rage & culture war stuff.

Cosby. Absolutely loved everything he did. And it sucks because the rest of the cast of the Cosby Show (particularly PR and MJW) did such amazing work and have had it invalidated/ruined by association.
Question for the Skyline: What was your HARDEST "cancel"?? Like the actor/singer/athlete that was the hardest to drop.
I feel like it's always people I don't fw getting canceled so it's never really a loss.
The hardest one was maybe TI because I actually liked multiple albums by him.

Is it really that shocking that a show with more women in skimpy underwear than a Benny Hill rerun, written by a guy who played Don Cherry not once, but twice, might lean a little right?

In a world where German and British tourists exist, American tourists can rest easy.
the "americans will be pariahs when they travel!!" discourse is so funny. 1) we deserve it, 2) people in other countries (excluding, say, large parts of Iraq) are in reality pretty chill about americans, great satan or no

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

The eventual tell-all book (or, let's be realistic, podcast series) in a few years about how the Queer Eye team have all hated each other for years is going to be absolutely amazing.

The ultimate irony of it all is that with the death of house shows, it made sense to lowball him. R-Truth was the ultimate house show guy. Post-intermission, he comes out, crowd sings along with his entrance music, does a little comedy, has a quick goofy match, gets the crowd pepped up again.
In the new WWE Unreal teaser, Paul Levesque basically admits that they lowballed R-Truth, Truth refused to budge, and it led to the call to not renew Truth's contract.

The Toronto Fan Expo this year was wall to wall AI slop. This needs to be a universal policy.
San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event
"Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show"
This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)
