I’m an ardent defender of the CBC against the threats of defunding by the right, but honestly, they’re not making it easy. This is legitimately indefensible, and Hanomansing’s tone-deaf defensiveness is just the icing on the garbage cake.

CBC trying to explain how a "conversation" about whether Canada has a right to exist as a nation will be good because they have asked an American DJ to co-host. Like asking Ukraine to join a "conversation" with Russia about their borders. But don't worry it will be done with "care."

“Trust me bro, it’s gonna be awesome” is not journalism.

In Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War, the anarcho-syndicalist CNT ran 18 hospitals, 6 of which were created by it, at times by expropriation of properties such as churches. They also ran dozens of clinics and other medical establishments.

All the media outlets treating Trump's threats to annex Canada like a fun thought experiment is a great example of my belief that many people covering politics think politics are a sport where every outcome is just a different jersey, rather than serious issues that affect real people.

I have a theory that universities in Canada, knowing that there’s loads of academics out of work, are asking for completely unreasonable amounts of submission documents, both to narrow the field and based on things their unstated but preferred candidates will have ready. Paranoid? Or realistic?

BREAKING: Oh fuck off

Probably the darkest musical depiction of American life until Bowie’s “I’m Afraid of Americans” 20 years later.

yeah let's put starlink into our community instead of building locally controlled infrastructure what could possibly go wrong

That moment when you yawn and without warning the dog licks the inside of your mouth.

Allegiances aside, beautiful goal.

It would be really nice if, instead of asides to the overwhelming geopolitical situation, the players being asked about it tonight could address it directly instead of alluding, implying, and making oblique references. But that's more than anyone who knows hockey players should really expect.

Credit to @fiduch.bsky.social for this.

As a decolonial anarchist who also likes hockey, I could make a whole essay out of the social media posts I've deleted instead of putting up tonight.

Tired: Auston Matthews scoring Wired: Mitch Marner setting up a true goal scorer *ducks*

Oh shut up Autson. (The GIF is about me, not him.)

Going to be a killjoy, but if you want to balance out the massive pro-Canada sentiment going around today WITHOUT going into American exceptionalism, consider pre-ordering our book: fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/settler...

tapping the sign

Because Auston Matthews is known for playing well in game 7's /s

McDavid's "was a heck of a lot more than just a little tournament" is so funny. Why, sir? Why all the "tension"? Why the pressure? Really pushing passive voice to a new height. Watching this whole broadcast, you wouldn't know what's up (unless maybe you caught thay Pizza Pizza tariffs ad).

fuck Donald Trump fuck Bill Guerin fuck Matt Tkachuk fuck Brady Tkachuk fuck Noah Hanifin fuck Jack Eichel fuck Elon Musk fuck Wayne Gretzky fuck Jeremy Roenick fuck the Buccigross Overtime Challenge fuck the glowing puck fuck Don Cherry fuck the Miracle On Ice fuck Barstool fuck Francis Scott Key

Me when the game ends and the colonial nationalism starts up...
