Like Peter Parker was bit by a radioactive hobo.
Like a 7/11 hot dog got its wish to become a real boy.

I know the real concern is the lack of journalistic integrity but I think the real crime here is seeing this face and thinking to yourself "yes I need more of that" His eyes don't even line up. This is a clear case of royals inbreeding

Because they wanted a slush fund to go to donors and supporters?
Why is the Ontario government not giving this training money to the province's colleges that are being starved of funding by the government and forced to charge exorbitant fees to international students to make up the shortfall.

Nice to see Jared Davidson getting the much-deserved call up by the Habs.
He has 9 goals & 2 assists for 11 points in 13 games this season for Laval.

When a far right pundit on a CNN panel with me ‘joked’ about my beeper going off live on air & then got banned by CNN, Megyn Kelly had him on her show & they both laughed about it.
Yet here is Kelly getting super offended when someone else makes the beeper threat against her. Oh, the hypocrisy.

Thanks for the shoutout on the podcast @maybeitsian.bsky.social and @theactivestick.bsky.social, but believe me I could have dealt with the score but potentially watching Newhook's season end was what truly ruined it for me.

Still can't believe the zebras gave the Stars a PP when they had a 3-0 lead. You can't even imagine that occurring for the Habs unless the other side got hit for delay of game.

Kind of crazy that evidence is mounting that the world is run by a group of rapists, pedophiles, and men convinced of women’s inmate natural inferiority, and the pundit class is trying to convince us that the real social crisis is that men are victimized and lonely because women have too many jobs.
You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

Heading to Bell Centre tonight with the family, we are currently riding a 6-game winning streak on our attendance. Bringing this jersey out for the evening.

Wait. Wait. Canada is cutting thousands and thousands of public servants because AI will be transformational.
An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” John Cassidy writes. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/mlYgP3
The A.I.-Profits Drought and the Lessons of History
Like the steam engine, electricity, and computers, generative artificial intelligence could take longer than expected to transform the economy.

The story I have received the most interview requests for in 2025? Fucking ostriches. I did one early on, about the unlikelihood that the SCC would hear an appeal. And then an avalanche of requests for two months, all for one of the least important stories you can imagine. #Journalism
On Friday’s CBC The National ostriches occupied the number 3 report segment, getting about 2 minutes and 30 seconds of coverage.
The Statcan jobs report which came out the same day? 24 seconds.
