Needless to say: all views and opinions are my own. RTs ≠ endorsement.

@fr_aquilini you gotta stop hanging out with players and media guys like Biz

[Quiet in the Noisy Place @dignooi]

this is the kind of thing that will happen again and again in the days ahead. we just need to wait for the implosion.

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

Um. What did I just watch?

[Quiet in the Noisy Place @dignooi]

yes, huge shoutout to a comedian whose censorious impulses are not just contrary to the historical ethos of his craft but also so strong that he can't engage with another human despite many weeks of opportunity, over many years, to find some common ground. bravo!

[Spencer Althouse @SpencerAlthouse]

huge shoutout to Bowen Yang. this is the 3rd time Dave Chappelle hosted SNL while Bowen is in the cast, but they've never been in a single sketch together, presumably because of Chappelle's anti-trans comments over the years. they've only ever shared the stage during end credits

No, Ezra, Trump didn't win the vibes contest bc his allies "invested more" in social media.

They won bc Dems have NOTHING TO SAY.

Savaging liberal policies & cultural styles gets tedious but IT IS SOMETHING. A generative discourse. A frame.

"We're not Trump" isn't a frame.

this is the only video i salvaged from tiktok and im okay with that

[Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma]

good tsar, bad boyars

@TristinHopper for a smart guy that isn't very smart analysis...you think energy trading is just a snap your fingers type shift?

[Kat Rosenfield @katrosenfield]

went long on the implications of the Gaiman discourse

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

Just putting this prediction down now.

[Quiet in the Noisy Place @dignooi]

the most obnoxious/stupid side of Canucks twitter is the guys that don't understand how the health of high-performance athletes is typically managed. you're always hurt to some degree, guys.

[Thank you, Nico @Canuckfan4Life2]

We victory lapping having to rush guys back?

[Quiet in the Noisy Place @dignooi]

@vancolour if you are Christy Clark you can. it's basically her leadership philosophy.

[Tahra Hoops @TahraHoops]

Really normal stuff happening!

[Tahra Hoops @TahraHoops]

And of course, Taylor Lorenz, is jumping to join the new Chinese-owned Red Book app.

[Tahra Hoops @TahraHoops]

🚨🚨

If you go on TikTok, right now every other video is urging people to jump onto Rednote (xiaohongshu, or RED BOOK), and it is working! They have jumped to #1 on the app store. TikTok users are calling themselves, "refugees" as they jump to this new app. Insanity!

[Quiet in the Noisy Place @dignooi]

the wild thing about that Robbie Williams monkey movie bombing is that, like, didn't the fact that his music is totally bland and shitty not tip the the filmmakers that it was not going to be well received?!?

[Robyn Urback @RobynUrback]

Trudeau appearing on CNN to talk tariffs is so quintessentially Trudeau

If you want to speak to the President and his supporters, you go on Fox. Doug Ford knows this

But if you want to virtue signal to the like-minded and make it seem like you’re doing something, you go on CNN

[Jesse Singal @jessesingal]

hehe

[Lulu Cheng Meservey @lulumeservey]

Huh

[Tahra Hoops @TahraHoops]

Yup. When the Forest Service identifies high-risk forests needing prescribed burns, it takes an average of 4.7 YEARS just to get through environmental reviews. For complex projects, it's 7.2 years - longer than many fire cycles.

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

Do employees at TikTok think they are harming kids? Many do, at a vast scale. Their own words and internal reports are damning.
