I've been looking for this tweet. Will pin it to my account as a reminder of the threat of disinformation, doublespeak. https://t.co/c5hvin3w7q

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.

After a dozen without a win, three straight without a loss - including this one in Messi’s house. Let’s keep rolling you Reds. #TFCLive

Butt kicker is in mid season form!! Wow. 69 yards and it’s good! #chiefskingdom

[Ari Meirov @MySportsUpdate]

#Chiefs K Harrison Butker just casually drilled a 69-yard FG, which would be an NFL record if this were a regular-season game.

[Tom Harrington @cbctom]

Canada fought wars alongside Americans.

Canada helped free Americans from Tehran.

Canada welcomed stranded & worried Americans on 9/11.

In other words, Canada is tough.

Canada is brave.

Canada is a good friend.

You know what Canada is not?

Weak. 🇨🇦

@MichaelFarber3 A tip of the old chapeau.

@CinemaTweets1 Followed you recently. Good stuff

@dmrider @anotherglassbox But they do cover the Stanley Cup where meltdowns can and do happen.

[Tom Harrington @cbctom]

Sure but what about McDonald’s coffee?

[Ezzy @ezzyskii]

Stanley and Yeti cups finally got the test they deserved. 1600°C settled the debate

Radioactive Beer that’s supercharged?!

Have to fire up the Geiger counter!! 😉 ☢️🍺

[Jason Foster @ABbeerguy]

Today on my CBC Radioactive beer column we introduced listeners to Hop Saturated Ale, a supercharged Hazy IPA. Tried this beast from @estbrew and BC’s Changing Colours.

For those who thought Dorsch was rolling around feigning an injury the other night, there’s your answer. #TFCLive

[John Molinaro @JohnMolinaro]

#TFCLive coach Robin Fraser says Niklas Dorsch, who underwent successful surgery to repair a facial fracture, says no firm timeline as to how long he’ll be out for.

@ATRightMovies Having seen Master & Commander, Beautiful Mind, Gladiator and The Insider, I choose his role as Wigand.

On this #NationalRadioDay, let’s take a ride on the wayback machine. A newspaper ad from March 1980 as I started my broadcast journalism career at Q93 Radio in St. John's at age 21. Talk about “helmet head.” Signed off 45 years later. Thanks for listening. 📻🎙️🇨🇦

[Tom Harrington @cbctom]

@rpeddle79 It’s still on the air.

@KCChiefs_Matt Assume there was not “one last call for alcohol so, finish your whiskey or beer.” 😉

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING CANCER NEWS! 🚨🚨🚨

Merck $MRK and Moderna $MRNA personalized mRNA cancer vaccine slowed the return of melanoma and its spread to other parts of the body in a Ph3 clinical trial.

No data disclosed yet, but the study was stopped for positive results at the first interim analysis.

Magnitude of benefit TBD, but this is a potentially huge breakthrough for cancer patients and the use of mRNA to treat cancer.

If it’s Tuesday…

Trump delays the tariffs on Canada.

[Commentary Donald J. Trump Truth Social Posts On X @TrumpTruthOnX]

I have paused the 50% Tariffs against Canada, that were scheduled to kick in tomorrow morning for a three day period, based on the fact that Canada and the U.S.A., subject to the finalization of documents, have a DEAL! The great Keystone XL Pipeline, long ago killed by Sleepy Joe Biden, may be awoken from the grave! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
