This might be one of the greatest shots that I have ever seen.
A dominant performance from the women and a three at the buzzer from the men's team helped the VIU Mariners sweep the PACWEST basketball provincials Saturday.
Both teams advance to Nationals, with the men hosting their tournament in two weeks.

“An LLM’s words shape our beliefs, decisions, and actions, yet no speaker stands behind them.” Deb Roy on how AI might be training us to “accept words without ownership and meaning without accountability.”
Bruce Springsteen releases song written Saturday, recorded yesterday, "in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good."

The whole interview is worth it
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.

This is one of the sharpest analyses of international affairs that I've heard from a Canadian leader - or any national leader - in a long time. And I suspect he wrote the main bits himself. paulwells.substack.com/p/the-carney...
Jasmine tea beer and roasted tea beer from Japan - glad they survived the trip back to Canada. Delicious!
The blatant lies about Minneapolis serve several purposes. They perpetuate the false narrative that federal agents are in constant peril and therefore justified in using lethal force at the slightest hint of danger. They assure federal agents that they can harm or even kill American citizens with impunity, and warn those who might be moved to protest Trump’s immigration policies of the same thing. Perhaps most grim, they communicate to the public that if you happen to be killed by a federal agent, your government will bear false witness to the world that you were a terrorist.
The Trump Regime Smear Machine is now a taxpayer funded venture that smears victims of state violence by justifying their killing. This should be familiar, it is a common practice in the aftermath of police shootings of black people (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
I guess one thing I've learned is this... cruelty never produces good art. Crueulty never produces good politics. Creulty never produces good culture.

I kind of like this whole “We won’t buy your liquor but we will air your state-suppressed news stories” niche that Canada’s apparently carved out.
This is the full 60 Minutes segment on CECOT Bari Weiss and CBS News didn't want you to see.

Tech billionaires have an unprecedented ability—and incentive—to manipulate the public's perception of reality, Adam Serwer argued in February.
The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 U.S. troops died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol, according to a new policy that takes effect next month.
Now that’s a lede.

Great @toomanyzooz.bsky.social show in Errington (!) last night!
Here’s the thing with sports: when you’re in the high-pressure playoff spaces, it might feel like hell. But that’s the greatest thing about sports fandom: you get to feel it. You get to live and die. Feel it, live it, embrace it. You might never forget it, and how many things are like that?
