@onesoccer.bsky.social your AppleTV app directs to a code URL that doesn’t work, the support page also doesn’t work, and when I tried to cast from my laptop to my TV screen I found out that the only thing that DOES work is your shiny new privacy blocker that also prevents me from taking screenshots.

Notes app apology ass response

ohhhh so just because they've absolutely pummeled us in almost every meeting since the league was formed montreal thinks they can beat us in the playoffs?

BAB floor crossing to the Ontario Greens when?

The European Union is working on its own web index to allow search engines based on the continent to stop relying on Google or Bing for their results. An important step to seriously sidelining those companies.

The Bloc would be foolish not to challenge the results in Terrebonne. The court would be foolish to let the outcome stand. Our elections are free and fair. But no election is perfect at scale. In this case, an error seems to have affected the outcome. Run that election again.

“AI … is offered to us as the latest buoy to cling to. But until AI firms like Google and OpenAI are willing to negotiate the terms of engagement with journalists—and all other creators and workers—it’s our duty to reject AI outright.” — @bcmerchant.bsky.social

“Upcycled Housing” in Copenhagen. This is Resource Rows by builder NREP and architect Lendager. The bricks were cut into 1x1 metre panels, mostly from the demo of the nearby Carlsberg brewery buildings, and then reassembled to create the facade of the new housing.

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

this is such a fantastic thread on trump’s zero-sum, anti-exchange worldview

Wow this is a perfect sports hater piece, great job @joshgondelman.bsky.social

It has taken me a long time to figure out why the #OCTranspo New Ways to Bus logo makes me uneasy. Today, I got it. The logo shows that the fastest way between A and B is to walk. The bus / train lines shown are not used. I guess it is often a true #Ottawa trip route. #OttPoli

OTTAWA PLAYOFF HOCKEY WIN

finding out that (1) francis I stacked the college of cardinals with his picks so the voting body skewed (more) liberal (2) the conclave is limited to voting cardinals under the age of 80 has been mildly upsetting lol. there should be absolutely no takeaways for modern society in the vatican

This essay on "AI and Internet Hygiene" by @katewagner.bsky.social really how AI is ruining the experience of using the internet (and knowing how to use it), while also crippling the social infrastructure of trust that makes the internet work. web.archive.org/web/20250121...

We need a leftist Andrew Tate. We need a leftist Fox News. We need a casino where you don't gamble and they give you free money. I refuse to understand the ecosystem I'm in the center of and I will not leave or modify my behavior. We need leftist McNuggets

Happy about your election and all but…the vibes on this picture are super weird guys.

Wrote an op-ed instead of rambling on Facebook like I normally would have. Thanks to @theleveller.bsky.social for the opportunity! leveller.ca/2025/04/edit...

With Trudeau out of the way, is Carney a good leader for a political party? Is Poilievre? Are any of these party leaders good for anyone? We examine the state of Canadian federal politics while looking ahead to party conventions. #CDNpoli #elxn45 #CanadaVotes leveller.ca/2025/04/edit...

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

our glorious bank goals, their impure lucky breaks

Gonna be real with you, this feels like an advertisement for spiritual death

You know what else looked it overwhelmingly favoured the blue team, before swinging to the red team? gosensgo

I would LOVE the next pope to have an unknown birthplace - let’s get back to some mystique already, that’s what the people are craving.

The English Leadership Debate was scheduled at 6pm until they heard the Sens game was at 7pm and they decided to line them up

meanwhile, prominent pundits continue to deny that there the administration adheres to a segregationist ideology

Wayne Gretzky was a hockey player from Brantford, ON, who played for Edmonton, Los Angeles, and New York, as well as the Canadian national team. He retired in the late 1900s, and has said nothing notable ever since.

Paul Manly making things very interesting for the Greens - if they come out of this election with a new high water mark of 3 seats I will be really surprised, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
