“He won't or maybe can't say what he's mad about, and doesn't bother asking for answers. He just asks and asks, in escalating tones of impatience, why no one is asking the questions.” Exceptionally written, and an unfortunately astute reflection of what people consider ‘inquisitive’ today

I think it's time to recognize that if you subscribe to The Athletic and share their stuff, you are supporting a larger framework that absolutely demands bigotry be treated with some level of decorum. It's not quite the Harry Potter fan dilemma, but it's not far off from it.

This went from a nebulous “downtown Winnipeg” to prompt readers to infer it was a random attack (downtown is so scary!) to a video showing him getting kicked out of a club to this aggressive PR against the club’s security. Conclusion: Sea Bears comms team aren’t as strong/connected as the Jets

"Keep politics out of sports" can't stop themselves from bringing their politics up unprompted

It’s August 2026 and Aaron Rodgers is having a full blown meltdown about Anthony Fauci.

WNBA (the org) courted this. They could have nipped this in the bud, but instead they placated anti-trans activists, so now bigots have glomed onto them. If you don't tell them their opinions are vile and are unwelcome, they will destroy you or leech on you forever. just ask amnesty international

riley gaines is at the minnesota lynx vs indiana fever game posing with people courtside as they line up for photos

The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.

Fire em all into the sun. Bombers look woefully unprepared every week so far this season. Even a prime Collaros couldn’t save this team

Deatrick Nichols being good feels like an eternity ago watching him for this season and the last

Due for the weekly braindead interceptable pass at this point in the game

Their game plan has them down by 1pt going into the half, lmao

Tommy Condell gave Brown the Elgersma playbook to prevent him from playing heroball. Guess they don’t think BC will outscore however many FGs Castillo will make tonight

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

this is what they took from you

Just a head’s up to everyone who hasn’t reassessed their relationship with Shopify yet: its CEO is actively pushing far-right politics in Canada, now with Elon Musk’s explicit support!

lol, annnnnnnd there's the nail in the coffin, if there was still any doubt:

Shot, and chaser

another shameful reversal by mark carney that shows how much power the US tech companies have over our government. there’s no sovereignty when foreign companies wield this much influence over our domestic policy.

Winnipeg police Chief Gene Bowers said Tuesday data from the recent 10-day drug enforcement campaign will be released to the public, but he won’t say when.

Don’t forget all the layoffs and shuttering stations!

So Rogers raises the price for Sportsnet+ and then sells even more games to Amazon meaning less games to watch on SN+. Double dipping while reducing their own expenditures. Lmao

Rogers and /SportsOnPrimeCA announce a 12-year sublicensing agreement that will see Amazon broadcast Wednesday night games nationally across 🇨🇦. Amazon will also broadcast select #StanleyCup playoff series in 🇨🇦 - two first-round matchups and one second-round series per year.

Most politicians dislike Mamdani because he actually loves the job. They love the trappings of the job but hate the actual work, so they don't do it. Mamdani, to their chagrin, sets a bar they can't meet with respect to showing voters what's possible with governance.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · last wk.

Once more: Mamdani understands that you can't just do things in politics and expect voters will notice on their own and thank you for it. You've got to work just as hard selling yourself to voters once you're in office as you did selling yourself to them to get into office. This is the way.

being a billionaire and on the internet all day is crazy to me. if i had even five million dollars, you would not find me online whatsoever.

If you really think fascism in america is magically going to be defeated without you and everyone you know giving up some stupid little bit of comfort in your life, or more likely a *bunch* of stupid little comforts, you are extremely naive.

I want companies that have profited from contracts with ICE to go out of business. I want companies that have gone all in on AI to go out of business. I want companies that cause nationwide diarrhea outbreaks to go out of business. I want companies that give money to fascists to go out of business.
