In Canada, a bear terrified an entire neighborhood after wandering into a home's backyard

The neighbors locked themselves inside, but the fierce predator was chased away by someone even more dangerous — a cat.

How come all the NIMBY weirdos who never shut up about wind turbines 5km off the coast have nothing to say about these gargantuan noisy data centres that are springing up in the middle of suburbs, contaminating water, destroying liveability and property prices? It's weird.

El capitán de la Selección de Irán, Mehdi Taremi, explotó contra la FIFA y la organización de Estados Unidos.

“Esta es una Copa del Mundo desastrosa. Como jugadores profesionales no podemos jugar una competición en estas condiciones, no está bien ni es justo. Si la FIFA piensa que esto es justo, tema de ellos, pero no lo es. ¿Quién debería solucionar este problema por nosotros? ¿La FIFA? ¿EE.UU.? ¡No sé! Díganme un nombre. El presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, vino a nuestro vestuario después del primer partido contra Nueva Zelanda y dijo que iba a resolver todos los problemas, pero en realidad, la FIFA no hizo nada. Respondiendo la pregunta de: "¿Sienten que los organizadores de la Copa del Mundo, incluidos la FIFA y los funcionarios estadounidenses, prefieren que Irán sea eliminado de la competencia?", digo: Tenemos que luchar contra absolutamente todo. No podemos quedarnos en el país, viajamos y nos sometemos a controles migratorios cada vez que queremos jugar, ahora no podemos quedarnos en Seattle y tenemos que volver a Tijuana. Han hecho todo lo posible para eliminarnos, entonces desde nuestra perspectiva, sí, creo que lo quieren así, nos quieren afuera”.

Zlatan Ibrahimović on the VAR decision that denied Iran a last-minute winner against Egypt:

🗣️ “This is exactly why people are losing faith in VAR. We're told it's here to eliminate clear mistakes, yet somehow it keeps creating even bigger controversies on football's biggest stage. That's simply unacceptable.”

“I've watched the replay again and again, and I still don't understand how anyone can call that offside. If you're going to cancel a goal that could decide a nation's World Cup, you better be 100% certain not guessing behind a screen.”

“Millions of Iranians celebrated what they believed was a historic moment, only for a group of officials to erase it within seconds. You didn't just disallow a goal you stole a nation's dream.”

“The referee and VAR officials should be held accountable for decisions like this. You cannot hide behind technology when the technology is being used incorrectly. That's not justice, that's incompetence.”

“A World Cup is played once every four years. Players sacrifice everything to get here, supporters travel across the world, and then one shocking decision destroys months of hard work. That is unforgivable.”

“If this is the standard of officiating at the biggest tournament in football, then something is seriously broken. Football deserves better, the players deserve better, and above all, the fans deserve far better than this.”

A teenager holding a white flag shot down from a quadcopter in his own home. A newborn baby shot in the head while breastfeeding inside a tent. These are some of the horrific accounts of Israel’s targeting of Palestinian children from the UN’s latest report. @mehdirhasan shares:

Multiculturalism has been supported by Menzies, Holt, Gorton, McMahon, Whitlam, Fraser, Hawke, Keating, Rudd, Gillard, Turnbull, Morrison and Albanese - but Taylor refused 5 times in one media conference to do so.

Just a fact.

The reflecting pool is a microcosm of what happens when you replace competence with loyalty and sycophancy at every level of government.

Even the most basic functions of the state become dysfunctional.

When white people tell you they spread civilization, this is how they spread it.

A wise reminder to the nervous Nellies in politics and to those journalists who declare a policy reform is dead the moment it hits turbulence - hint: if it doesn't encounter restistance, it ain't reform https://t.co/Ott7vJ5eBl via @ConversationEDU

🇧🇷🇨🇺🚨Lula just said what the world has been thinking. "Stop this damned blockade on Cuba and let the Cuban people live their lives." Cuba has problems. But they are Cuba's problems. Not Lula's. Not Trump's. Not the empire's.

The US has punished Cuba for decades. Sanctions. Blockades. Regime change attempts. None of it worked. Cubans are still standing. Still surviving. Still waiting for the world to let them breathe.

Lula is not begging. He's demanding. The blockade is not policy. It's cruelty. And the world is tired of watching.

Spread the truth. Free Cuba. Not from its leaders. From the blockade. Let the Cuban people live.

Authoritarians and fascists target science, reason, knowledge, expertise and intelligence. Universities represent all those things. Ultimately these attacks lead to a nihilism which we see in the US under Trump and in the collapse of the Liberal Party here.

Has there ever been a World Cup where a team is playing in the host country on the literal same day that the host country is bombing that team's country?

It's amazing how 6 hours after the DOJ was ordered to release the unredacted Epstein files we are back to full on airstrikes in Iran.

I love that Ukraine now has free rein to hammer the shit out of strategic targets in Moscow as Putin's air defenses collapse.

Russia is losing this war. Crimea will fall soon.

Putin should avoid...windows.

Your face when refineries are burning, drones are flying toward Moscow, your own soldiers are threatening a coup, and Zelensky has given 40 days for the end of a “small victorious war” that has dragged on for 4 years.
