SILVER SMILE FOR SARAULT
Courtney Sarault telling me she made the slightest mistake in the 1000m final and that she wanted gold for Canada so bad.
But that she’s very proud of this silver medal, her third medal of these Olympics.

Here is the episode with Michelle. We cover a lot of dark subjects—white supremacist movements, the new Trump era, Guantanamo Bay, etc—but also how she manages to not get emotionally crushed while covering all these.

Here is my latest. Sylvain Charlebois, Canada's beloved commentator on the food industry, thinks that not giving us access to raw milk is communism.

So this weekend TikTok removed our video about Elon Musk showing up in the Epstein files for "promoting misinformation", which we're sure has nothing at all to do with billionaire Trump megadonor Larry Ellison taking over control of TikTok's algorithm.

“Whether it’s predatory renovictors, a lack of regulation that permits the proliferation of investment properties or the roughly 800 buildings left to rot by absent landlords, Montreal isn’t taking adequate action against the greed that’s undermining housing affordability.”

Before his final Olympic race Mikaël Kingsbury thought about himself as a child, and when he listened to O Canada he thought about the whole of his life in skiing, and it all felt complete. The greatest freestyle skier in history wrote his perfect ending. www.thestar.com/sports/olymp...
Bruce Arthur: Mikael Kingsbury always did it his way. That includes gold in his Olympic farewell to moguls
Mikaël Kingsbury got to write his own Olympic ending. The king of the moguls may be dead, but he leaves a towering legacy behind.

The widespread availability of the Internet has been with us for approximately 30 years and we're still grappling with understanding its impact on society.
Yet somehow we're supposed to understand and accept the role of AI in society in a matter of months.

Highly recommend Dr. Afua Cooper’s book “The Hanging of Angelique” to read more on her life and times. #BookSky #CanLit
Marie-Joseph Angélique was an enslaved woman who ran away from her enslaver but was recaptured.
Shortly after, a fire destroyed 25% of Montreal. Angelique was put to death for the disaster.
This is her story.

It’s so funny how true this is and how pissed off the founders are this happened
Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws.
Jack Dorsey *left* when instead of weird and off-putting cryptonerds, trans people started hanging out here.

Can you think of examples where people use technologies differently from what the developers intended, whether unintentionally or as an act of resistance?
