Interesting as a point of reference for public opinion in Canada. Support for secession is running around 31% in Quebec. Latest poll in Alberta puts support for a referendum at 23%.

Paul Verhoeven the most vindicated guy to ever exist.

new wolfenstein looks like shit

I think Intelligent Systems really got something special with Fire Emblem Fortune‘s Weave. I loved Three Houses but I did only play one story. I‘m just going through Leda’s path and it’s full of intrigue that I’m curious to see how every story goes.

I knew it was bad but I didn’t realize it was “Returning to Pandemic Lows” bad. Also, nice work Mexico.

Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year. “We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.” www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

When it comes to a movie like Digger, I have little or no investment in whether the film itself is actually good. I'm not rooting for or against it. I'm here for the good criticism on both sides. I'm like a celebrity interviewed at the Super Bowl who says "I'm just here to see some great football."

The best and most niche praise I can give to the Primetime soundtrack is that it could have been for an unreleased SimCity sequel.

Jagmeet Singh was never taken seriously and mocked as a TikToker for so, so much less than this.

Unless this is some mistaken identity stuff, this is a wild invasion of privacy. Zuck and Meta are never beating those creep allegations.

I think you could get broad support in Canada to nationalize KraftHeinz Canada just to get them to stop all these repulsive KD colabs.

Kraft Dinner Canada has revealed a new limited-time cream soda with a "subtle hint" of its iconic mac & cheese flavor, in collaboration with with Solly's Craft Soda.

I’m happy they figured this out, but it did take them “Take our access away” to do it and not “Use us as meat targets for Iran“ to do so.

Joint statement from MS NOW, Politico and CNN: @ms.now @politico.com @cnn.com

I had to pause a YouTube video after the sponsorship ad read went “[Channel] is proud that we don’t use AI for research, scripts or analysis and definitely not finance or payroll, but our sponsor [AI-powered SaaS platform] is different.” I’m sorry, what are we doing here? Why bother?

It’s bad inside the US and it becomes more ridiculous when it exits the vacuum of US politics. It’s why, despite being wildly unpopular, the current solutions to the trade war with Canada have been discounts for travel, “We love Canada“ weak shows of solidarity, and US politicians meekly tweeting.

Americans: oh, look, a systemic issue. I will solve it individually

If you can’t wait for Metroid Ravenous, Nintendo’s got you in the “woman too angry to die” department with Fortune’s Weave and Leda. She’s got a heck of a character intro.

Playing Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave and *What do you mean this is just 5 years into the future?!* There are guns and alien zombies!

I shit you not, the article contains the direct quote "We weren't trying to make a political statement." Which is either a lie or some real American galaxy-brained shit.

I’ve never visited a country out of disrespect or made those feelings public on a public forum so I’d say these people asked for trouble and they got it www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Qualifying SCTV and its cast as “Canadian also-rans” is wildly more offensive than calling it Lake America.

It’s not that the Bloc would support Canada getting closer to Europe. It’s that it frames it as “You’ll have our support and you, the Federal Government of the nation we hope one day to leave, can do whatever you want.”

The intrusive thoughts kick in sometimes and I just want him to stop with the talk and bar trade already. Just to have the US economy do a little collapse. Just to show that yes, actually he knows truly this little about how finance works.

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 4w ago

Trump: “If we stopped Trading with every country that we have a Deficit with, which is most of them, we would make, at least, 1.5 Trillion Dollars a year. The word ‘Deficit’ is nothing more than a fancy word for LOSS.”

It’s actually somehow dumber than this because he repeatedly disregards services in his already stupid calculation. As if subscriptions or finance are a whole separate economy that exists appart from The Economy.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 4w ago

Reminder again that the President of the United States has no idea what a trade deficit is — a concept taught in high school econ. He thinks that if the US buys $500 of goods and services from Canada, and Canada buys $400 of goods and services from the US, we have “lost” $100.

Because the trade talks have been smooth sailing before any extensive EU deal…

Due to the ongoing trade war, I know auto workers from my home sweet home of Essex County will be hurting. Well, let me propose we go back to our roots, our heritage, and our history. It’s been over 100 years. This October, it’s time Windsor-Essex does what it does best. Rum-running.

So it would appear that the White House has banned the importation of Crown Royal, Canadian Club, and all other Canadian whiskeys/scotches. Stock up if they're one of your favorite brands, because the U.S. might not get any new supply for the next couple years...

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

just stared at this for a while before turning and slowly walking away

I’ve long wondered if (English) Canada was a nation where TV/film fiction has struggled to grab people culturally. But I don’t think it’s any sort of a mistake that you have Canadians out here like Matt Johnson and Nathan Fielder bending documentary/candid camera filmmaking to their will.

Nathan Fielder (The Rehersal) and Lance Oppenheim (Primetime) Made a documentary interviewing Elisabeth Holmes (Theranos). We are gonna witness Peak Cringe.
