This is what happens when one cable company owns *ALL* the teams. Rogers owns the Leafs, Raptors, Jays and Argos so they can determine broadcasts licenses for themselves. And of course Rogers owns Sportsnet. It’s a monopoly, they can charge whatever they want.

I’ve been an enthusiastic Siri user since 2011 and set up my life to work with conversational computing, only to watch Tim Cook and Apple over 15 years entirely miss the gift Steve Jobs left them as his last big move. Siri on HomePod is utterly useless now, Apple deserves all the flack they get.

Here’s what John Tory needs to think about: He slept with his employee. When caught, got her a job at MLSE that does business with the city. To escape the consequences, he stepped down months into his term costing the city $13M to hold a byelection. Think about how you’ll pay us back John.

I'm still banned. Being punished for something you didnt do f*cking sucks.

Glad to see people getting their accounts back. I spent 2 years building up a community and bringing people over from X and Mastodon only to have it taken away on a false accusation by their algorithm. Not sure I even want to go back now.

Did you appeal? If so, do you think what you said might've helped? Any email from Meta? I appealed (3X already) and have neither gotten a confirmation of my appeal nor any email stating what community guidelines their algorithm thinks I broke.

Has yours come back by chance? I'm seeing a handful of people on Reddit report that their accounts returned after a day or so. It's been 2 days for me so far.

I've learned my lesson: don't invest time into a platform that can be taken away at the whims of the owners without cause or explanation.

I got suspended too. Did absolutely nothing that I could think would warrant it. Was just scrolling through Threads last night when suddenly got the same message. I've appealed but still blocked. I hope it's a bug. There's no way I'm starting over, I'll just stay on Bluesky instead. Zuck's loss.

I got suspended too. Over on Reddit, there are hundreds of people saying the same. They got suspended without warning having done nothing to merit it. They can't get a handle on bots but they ban legitimate users. Honestly, it's just pushing me to use BlueSky instead, even if I get my account back.

The Court has granted the sale of Hudson’s Bay’s Intellectual Property to Canadian Tire. That’s it, the Stripes join the red triangle.

Hudson’s Bay has said it’s going to do a second round of seeking buyers for their leases. It’s approached Walmart, Canadian Tire and other big box stores.

38 #HudsonsBay stores are being bid on by 12 bidders. 58 stores are not being bid on. Council for Cadillac Fairview (Eaton Centre) and Oxford (Yorkdale, Square One) made a case for the damage being done to their malls by having these stores dark. They’re seeking expediency.
