Whaaaaa
BREAKING: Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups has been taken into custody by the FBI as part of an illegal sports gambling operation, @joevardon.bsky.social confirms.
I'll be adding it into the rotation for the winter I'm sure. But still making room for BALL x PIT, MEGABONK, battlefield and maybe ARC Raiders...
I'd never been and it never seemed busy
Awesome to see coverage of the #CanPL 🀝
Will be a pretty brilliant #FM26 save. Also, saving #ValourFC from itself would be another solid one πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚

"A club from here, for here."

Meet Supra du Quebec: football's newest club and the first Canadian Premier League team from the French-speaking region. "This club will exist to serve the players of this province," says its president. Story @theathleticfc.bsky.social:

Canada’s newest soccer club β€” and its distinct recruitment policy

Today is the #FM26 'beta' access release, and I'm reading through 3.Liga club histories to pick a save. For those who remember, I played as Aachen for almost a whole cycle and I'm tempted to go back there again....

I feel morally correct doing this.

I give myself exceptions to avoiding American products - and today is one of them. Hitting up Jimmy John's on Ellice. I hope it's just like the states. πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜‚πŸ€€

Mark Zuckerberg is introducing a feed that's just 100% AI slop. No pesky creativity from real people to get in the way. Eat up little piggies

When people have their basic human needs met, it frees up their lives for creativity, ingenuity, and enterprise.

Imagine the potential that could be unlocked if everyone was guaranteed basic shelter and basic income?

Well the good news is, now that he’s indicted one of his political enemies on bullshit charges, he’ll probably stop, and it definitely won’t escalate from here.

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*
I spoke with analyst Gil Luria at D.A. Davidson, asking if the capital existed to build OpenAI's promised 17GW of data centers.

He said "of course there isn't enough capital for all of this," but "enough capital to do this for a at least a little while longer."

You know what? I take it back. I’m going to be excited, *and* I’m going to believe Valour is playing next year.
The rush of the FC Supra announcement is starting to ebb, and I’m left on the same sticking spot as many other people… tell us that Valour FC will play next year, @cplsoccer.bsky.social, and then I’ll be excited.

Solidarity with the postal workers.

The proposed cuts - the mere idea of eliminating the century-old foundational idea of "getting mail at your home", all because Canada Post doesn't "turn a profit like a business" - should be embarrassing for us as a country
