Brunson’s insistence on taking every shot in the fourth quarter cost the Knicks game 2.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

In a nutshell. 😊

Yesterday, Russian authorities reported that the fire at Tuapse was extinguished.

Ukrainian Defense Forces took note of that and remedied the situation.

I know everyone is excited about the new guy in the vatican, but it's worth remembering that the Catholic Church has enabled tens of thousands of child rapists over the entirety of its existence. No amount gentle friction with the orange king will wipe that wilful and demented savagery away.

Religion is a fucking sewer.

Hearing Candace Owens try to pronounce Sabbatai Zevi killed a part of me I didn’t know existed and now you need to know of this too.

Largest Vaisakhi parade outside India to be held in Surrey, B.C. | CBC News Organizers estimate at least 600,000 people will attend the annual Vaisakhi parade in Surrey, B.C., on Saturday — as the annual Sikh harvest festival draws people celebrating delicious food, community...

A lot of people don't know just how big the south Asian community is in the lower mainland.

Kash Patel is such a pathetic character, in both senses of that word: so hopelessly out of his depth, compulsively acting out what he thinks constitutes macho swagger – private jets, Vegas, booze, merch – in ways that only emphasise how profoundly insecure and terrified he is

Reminds me of the sick assholes who've turned Jack the Ripper into an industry.

The sun will rise in #Vancouver #BritishColumbia tomorrow at 6:14, 117 seconds earlier than the day before.

To say I don't like the Suns is like saying the South Pole in winter is a little chilly. The Warriors, however, are absolute zero for me, so I can watch Phoenix take them apart with some degree of satisfaction. The only thing bad about the Warriors being out is seeing Draymond fucking Green on TV.

900lb crates full of onions in a field

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

Speaks to a broken country.

A hammer-headed bat, propped up on its feet and wings on a wood floor. Showing off its big rectangular head, strange muzzle situation and big red eyes. Adorable.

The face of a hammer-headed bat. Its nostrils and lips are all this intertwined filigree situation that's difficult to describe. Looks like decorative scrollwork except it's a bat's face.

Hammer-headed bat being held in profile. Long rectangular head seen in profile. Big shiny orangish eyes, pointy ears, and delicate scrollwork nostril/lip thing going on again.

It's International Bat Appreciation Day so take a minute to appreciate my personal favorite, the Hammer-headed Bat

By early afternoon, 12 steam plumes rise from the summit crater of Mount St. Helens. Two 500 feet above the rim before strong winds shear them away.

Clouds roll in, cutting visibility. Tiltmeters show no ground change. Two magnitude 4.6 quakes hit before noon.

GB News headline: GP who asked Muslim woman to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her' is struck off.

Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil?

How likely does that sound? 🤷‍♀️

Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?'

Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports...

On January 10, 2022, the Knicks played the San Antonio Spurs at the Garden. It was Pride night. Richards was there, attending with a friend. An 18-page report prepared by Eversole's Threat Management Group and reviewed by WIRED shows just how closely she was being monitored. 07:10:20 // CAM 0241 // scans her ticket to section 102, Row 8, Seat 5 07:11:14 // CAM 1434 // goes up terrace escalators on level 3 to level 6 concourse 07:12:52 // CAM AC10 // hugs usher Appendix A of the report has a screenshot of the embrace, with Richards circled in red. 08:08:58 // CAM 1093 // talking with F&B worker at the Draft Kings Bar 08:10:49 // CAM 0512 // pays for the drinks 08:31:19 // CAM 0485 // eating at a table It goes on and on. At 8:48 pm, camera 0489 spots another quick hug with an MSG “membership experience executive” (there's a grainy photo in the report's Appendix N). Two minutes and two seconds later, the same camera captures her heading into the women's bathroom. Her exit is noted after precisely two minutes and five seconds.

The owner of MSG and the Knicks compiled this kind of second-by-second surveillance of a trans woman while they were in the arena. They're doing this at all venues owned by James Dolan of perceived enemies. Crazy, crazy shit.

You're lucky. I work with people who cross the border all the time, and they're always shocked by the treatment they get at the Canadian border. It's usually quite a contradiction from the stereotype of Canadians being excessively nice and polite.
