The Raptors have moved up their 7:30 start times to 6:30 on Friday/Saturday, so after the game, they're going to show the 8PM Jays game in its entirety on the video board.

So if you can't score a Jays ticket, you can still watch it in an arena, drinking $16 Coors. (And get a whole NBA game!)

@Raptors
TORONTO WANTS IT ALL!

This town wants to give away its 100-year-old convent. Could it be a housing solution?

This Sask. town wants to give away its 100-year-old convent. Could it be a housing solution? | CBC News

The Town of Gravelbourg's motto is "A Touch of Europe on the Prairies." Now, it's doing what it can to save the historic buildings that give it that European feeling, including its century-old convent. The building is free for the taking, provided the right person comes along with the right idea to give it a new life.

Something intensely frustrating which I've seen across academia, NGOs, media orgs and corporations (I mean, just, every professional space in the world) is "WHAT IF WE JUST DIDN'T" is **never** considered an option, and it's the same for this report.

Error rates like that, 3 years in? Ditch it ffs

So YorkU wants to establish an “AI task force”. Its goal is for “adoption of AI in all aspects of university operations,”

Seems to me that the we haven’t asked where AI shouldn’t be allowed to operate.

• The establishment of an Artificial Intelligence Task Force to drive the safe and effective adoption of AI in all aspects of university operations, featuring a cross-functional membership from a range of COU member universities. Additional information will be shared with Academic Colleagues as the Task Force's work progresses.

look I'm rotting my brain here with everyone else but I have enough of it left to recognize that Online people's sense of what is "normal" is breaking. just weeks ago a Black pundit was describing leaving places where people use the N-word liberally as an abdication of politics

lastpositivist.bsky.social @lastpositivist.bsky.social · 13h

Nazi tat affair useful because anyone doing bizarre prevarications atm re how its totally normal to have a Nazi tattoo, good actually, not a big deal that'd matter in an election, if anything its cringe you care, etc etc, has revealed you never need to take their politics opinions seriously again.

Much like colonizing museums claim about African artifacts held in European and American collections, if the Louvre cannot properly take care of its possessions, perhaps another nation can. I heard the Benin Royal Museum in Nigeria may have a space.

The CBC maintains an account on X - but not on Bluesky (nor on Mastodon.) Why? I asked CE0 Marie-Philippe Bouchard and Editor-in-Chief @brodiefenlon.bsky.social when they appeared at the Senate Transport and Communications Committee this morning. #CBC #SRC #SenateofCanada #cdnpoli #X #Bluesky #TRCM

CBC stays on X to reach audiences despite hate speech concerns - but isn't on Bluesky or Mastodon.

After hearing this guy shitposts on Reddit and has sick tats, I'm even more FOR him to defeat Susan Collins.

We need to stop holding rising Progressives to impossible standards; more real and imperfect they are, the more we need them in office. Can't fight Nazis w/ the Hakeem Jeffries of the world!

I dunno, is it indelicate to have some caveats about the Adoration of Springer in Toronto now? Terrific ballplayer, great moment, but he was a part of Houston’s electronic cheating scandal and NOT one of the (only) 4 players who instructed they NOT be given camera-based signals from the dugout.

day 1:

walking to the baseball game from the nearest train station

in LA: hike up a hill for 30 minutes and then across a parking lot

in toronto: walk 10 minutes on a street usually closed to cars during games, from the city's transit hub where multiple train and subway lines meet

The good news is that as approval continues to decline, the median voter’s attention to matters is inherently increasing, and “he is physically destroying the white house while robbing the treasury for investigating him” is very understandable and salient to even many of the most checked out minds.
