I actually hope this map was AI-generated because if a human was involved in its creation...
A map with Alberta, Canada prominently highlighted. To its west are, apparently, British Columbia (correct) and Montana (incorrect) and to its east is Northwest Territories (incorrect since the formation of Alberta and Saskatchewan in 1905). There is also a province/state level label that says Medicine Hat, which is a small city in Alberta. The placement of the cities and lakes appears random. The caption below the image says "Saskatchewan".

Excuse me, miss... I believe I ordered the large carrot? Hello!
Photo of a very large carrot next to a Coke bottle. The carrot is longer than the bottle and nearly as wide.

New ink from www.instagram.com/pinkcilantro/ ! This is the first time I've commissioned a piece especially for me. I saw Irang's work at the Saskatoon Tattoo expo and loved her style, and wanted a music-related tattoo that popped, and did she ever deliver!

Stages of tattoo process, from stencil to linework to colour fill for a forearm tattoo with a microphone, bass guitar, keyboard and music notes all done in a bright, colourful style.

This is quite the juxtaposition. Which story gets prominence?
Screenshot of the Washington Post app front page, where a story titled "She marched against Trump in 2017. Now, she says, ‘just let it all burn.'" has significantly larger text and a feature photo, above a smaller headline for a story titled "D.C. rally larger than expected as Trump protests emerge across U.S."

Oh, right. The war plans. The war plans for the Houthis, the war plans chosen especially to kill Houthis, Houthis's war plans. Those war plans?

If Canada is serious about putting the hurt on Trump & his enablers to push back against his made-up-on-the-fly tariffs, we should be implementing Cory Doctorow's ( @pluralistic.net.web.brid.gy ) suggestion, detailed at pluralistic.net/2025/02/26/u... Make Canada a haven for disenshittification!
Abolish the Canadian laws that protect US Big Tech companies from Canadian competition. Make it legal to reverse-engineer, jailbreak and modify American technology products and services. Don't ask Facebook to pay a link tax to Canadian newspapers, make it legal to jailbreak all of Meta's apps and block all the ads in them, so Mark Zuckerberg doesn't make a dime off of us. Make it legal for Canadian mechanics to jailbreak your Tesla and unlock every subscription feature, like autopilot and full access to your battery, for one price, forever. So you get more out of your car, and when you sell it, the next owner continues to enjoy those features, meaning they'll pay more for your used car. That's how you hurt Elon Musk: not by being performatively appalled at his Nazi salutes. That doesn't cost him a dime. He loves the attention. No! Strike at the rent-extracting, insanely high-margin aftermarket subscriptions he relies on for his Swastikar business.

Good to know some news outlets are getting it right.

Trump also brought up his idea that Canada should become America’s “51st state,” an aggressively stupid threat against a long-time ally. The president also made the ridiculous claim that the European Union “was formed to screw the United States.”
