@churnwell Shearer Scholes. Holy shit it works

Get your American person name by combining two England players' surnames - e.g. Lampard Rooney, Keagan Pickford, Hurst Waddle.

@DMCstan_ @TB12army @shagbark_hick This has to be a joke? Last time I checked LA and SF and Oakland were West Coast. LA has an entire small town dedicated to crackheads lol (Skid Row).

@KrCorr @TB12army @shagbark_hick U legit see more crackheads in downtown of any town with 100k+ ppl in Ontario than you do in any west coast USA city so win some lose some

I wonder if some of the negative views Canadians tend to have of the USA come from the fact that the first bit of America they see as they cross the border is often Upstate NY. Imagine being from a tidy suburb of Ottawa and then driving through Ogdensburg NY... You'd think that the USA was kind of raw and barbaric; like vast portions of its land area had been abandoned and left to go to seed. Couple that with the CBC bagging on Trump, acting like he's some kind of evil dictator, talking like we have daily school shootings, etc -- and I'd be a lot of Canadians shudder at what it seems like we're doing down here. It's not the genuine reality of what America is at all, it's an edge case, but I'd bet it makes a lot of Canadians do a heel turn, cross back over the border, breathe a sigh of relief.

@TB12army @shagbark_hick I mean many parts of it are very nice, and there are many nice towns. Even Buffalo has its charms. But man, some of the towns you drive through are BRUTAL, a level of poverty I just haven't ever seen in Ontario - literally right across the border. It's bizarre.

@shagbark_hick I like upstate NY. The negative views I hold aren't about America, just your compromised president.

@realdemondawg @shagbark_hick Holy, someone else who has been through Massena. We drove back that to way (to Toronto) from Lake Placid one year, and we were genuinely floored by how rough that town looked. Like I couldn't believe I was in USA let alone one of the richest States. Mind-blowing

@shagbark_hick I grew up in Ottawa, Canada, 45 minutes from Ogdensburg and Massena. I couldn’t reconcile my image of America as projected by TV and cinema with the grim, backward reality of New York border towns. By comparison, Ottawa felt like Paris.

Case in point here is Upstate NY. This place should be a paradise. It's superlatively gorgeous -- maybe the most beautiful place east of the Mississippi -- and fertile. The housing's cheap, there are OK jobs, soil's fine, life is easy. But people here are MISERABLE. Daily interactions involve leering, awkward staring, cold shoulders, nervous energy. Loner-hermit types avoid others; elderly are crotchedy and skittish. DinerGoth types are lurking, vaping, being gay, mumbling to themselves in the Stewart's parking lot. No one's stopping to chat, no one's your friend, everyone is kind of tense in public. Guys are shooting up on the street in Watertown, Utica, even Tupper Lake. Any cop will tell you WEIRD, dark stories about what goes on here. The Kulak class is overtaxed; the State Workers dream of Florida once the pension hits. Young guys are all planning to move to South Carolina, Texas. Local government is a good old boys club for the dumbest, most cynical drunkards in each county. The whole vibe is "soviet." Except in lib enclaves, where the vibe is "tense, judgemental, 'in this house we believe', paranoid about MAGA, cloistered." And so this place is cheap, low-rent, undesirable. Gentrifiers try to come but they don't stay here. This place resists any attempt to "reinvigorate" it. The dysgenic darkness hangs over every inch of it; no amount of bright-eyed yuppies can fix it. Albany can't fix it. It's all graft, corruption, awkward stammering parochial nutcases wandering the streets in between disability checks. The residents of so many places here are the genetic remnants of those who didn't have the gumption or the brains to go West when the time came, and it shows. Literally the best move we have is to pay people to LEAVE. If I was the governor I'd allocate massive amounts of money towards this. I'd straight-up pay people to clear out, get out of here, move along. I'd pay their moving expenses, send them to Florida or whatever. And we'd flourish.

@Hntaigana @sivori My 4 yr old sleep for about 11hrs. 1930 to 0630 pretty much most days

@sivori When do the kids wake up? They're not going to sleep for like 10+ hours, right? or do you wake up at 4 am?

This is almost always fixed by earlier bedtimes. We start bedtime at 6:30pm. We know many parents who start at 8:00pm.

@TAYLORYOURLIFE1 @planert41 Nice advice!

@planert41 5:30-7:30am is yours… Everything else is your families time now. You serve them. Turn to the Lord for your strength and then pour it out to your family. Hang in there.

Dads with young kids Is it normal to just feel tired and burnt out all the time? It’s like you don’t even really get the weekend to recover because it’s all just kid stuff the moment you wake up Arguably the only personal time you have is when they nap (and you’re already dead tired by that time) or the hour after they go to bed but before you pass out Just trying to figure out if I’m doing something wrong

@mysterymeat Made the cut!

toronto is the greatest city on earth. but just to be clear, when i say toronto i mean the 25 km² area outlined on this map (sorry east enders)

@JamesDowning12 @Eamon_K_ You'd be a hero to potentially 100s of us and make yourself a good couple hundred bucks a trip each way no bother! What better way to spend a Saturday than being entertained by drunken folk in kilts all evening!

@Eamon_K_ I live about 20 minutes from “Boston Stadium” and this news made me so angry I considered renting a van and Dunkirk-ing Brits from Boston to the stadium. We’ve become a parody of ourselves.

Genuinely ludicrous they are getting away with this. Should be fucking illegal.

@AdamCrafton_ Disgraceful behaviour. US Should never have been awarded the tournament - why a World cup match is being hosted in a town of 20,000 is beyond me.

The Boston MBTA, who have quadrupled their prices to $80 return (no concessions) for the World Cup, have issued a press release to say they sold over 17,450 return tickets on first day of sales. They say tickets for Scotland v Haiti are at over 6,200 sold.

@TartanArmyGroup Genuinely might get on the phone to some bus companies tomorrow about renting a big yellow school bus + driver for the day. Rough show of hands on who'd be up for that? Might as well check the prices

🚨 Boston train to Gillette Stadium: 📅 Tickets between Boston South Station and the stadium go on sale on Wednesday 8th April at 16:00 Pitlochry time. They are limited, so if you intend to use the train I wouldn’t hang about. 💰 The ticket costs $80 for the return journey and everyone must have a ticket including U11s. The ticket includes all commuter rail trains, busses and the subway in the region. 📱 You can only buy the tickets on the MBTA app. 🍏: apps.apple.com/gb/app/mbta-mt… 🤖: play.google.com/store/apps/det…

@GaryAPrince @AdamCrafton_ @TheAthleticFC I was thinking of trying to rent a big yellow school bus eh. 50 folk... Even if it's $1000 that is $20 a head, hopefully return.

@AdamCrafton_ @TheAthleticFC Cheers, will find a cheaper alternative.

NEW: MBTA confirm $80 return ticket Boston to Gillette Stadium during World Cup, after @TheAthleticFC first reported it would be over $75. Quadruple the usual price for NFL games. No concessions for kids, over-60s or passengers with accessibility needs nytimes.com/athletic/71501…

@MBTA You are a disgrace of an organisation signed a pissed off 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 fan who has already been robbed enough by this tournament. Do you people have no shame?

Green Line: Delays of about 20 minutes due to a signal issue at Haymarket. Trains may stand by at stations.

@derecho_series @NeilPasricha @MarkJCarney I'm not saying Toronto doesn't need a second jet-capable airport, but Billy Bishop is NOT the location for it. Downsview or somewhere East would be much much better

@NeilPasricha @MarkJCarney "plz don't let Toronto grow it's infrastructure to match it's obscene population growth, don't let it become a city committed to world class engineering & living standards again" - TO Nimbys

Dear Prime Minister Mark Carney (@markjcarney), I was on the Toronto Ferry last year staring at our majestic waterfront. I saw paddlers, kayakers, dragon boaters, sailors, windsurfers, fishers, paddleboarders, water taxis, and cruisers all sharing the space in harmony. When we docked at Hanlan’s Point on the Toronto Islands I was surrounded by hikers, joggers, cyclists, birders, picnickers, swimmers, photographers, beachgoers, frisbee golfers, naturalists, and thousands of tourists and locals enjoying this lush ecological paradise surrounded by our sparkling freshwater lake. Please don’t destroy this by paving Lake Ontario. Three weeks ago Ontario Premier Doug Ford (@fordnation) announced he will "seize" Toronto’s Billy Bishop Airport (YTZ) in order to expand runways into Lake Ontario (1), bring in jets against the legal contracts governing the airport (2), and nix 14,000 mixed-use homes slated to go up on the shore (which taxpayers have already spent $1.4B developing). (3,4) Although this decision is not his to make — Billy Bishop is governed by the City of Toronto and the federal government (5) — Premier Ford says he will overrule the City to "bring in jets one way or another." (6,7) Premier Ford says he has the "full support" of your federal government to do this. (8) Prime Minister Carney: It is not too late. Please say no to expanding Billy Bishop airport into the lake. We don’t need this, we don’t want this, and we can’t afford this. We don’t need this. We can already go anywhere we want to go. I live right in downtown Toronto. I can be anywhere I want in the world, tomorrow. I can walk to bus, subway, streetcar, and UP express stations from my house and I fly 40x per year. In the past year I have been to over 35 airports on 3 continents and YYZ is one of the absolute best. In fact, in the past month it has won "Best Airport Staff in North America" (9), been ranked 4th in all of the Americas in efficiency (out of 50 airports) (10), and won Best Large Airport on the entire continent (an award it's won eight times in nine years.) (11) Right this second, checking Uber, I can get from my house by car to Toronto’s Pearson International Airport (YYZ) in 21 mins and to Toronto’s Billy Bishop Island Airport (YTZ) in 14 mins. Right this second, if someone at Union Station wanted to get to YYZ on public transit it would take 28 minutes (UP Express) and to YTZ would take 22 minutes (TTC streetcar). We are talking about a 6 minute time savings here. If we want to serve southwestern Ontario’s population with expanded jet service we simply need to use the 7000m of existing, high-capacity, under-utilized jet runways within 2 hours of Toronto at Hamilton (@flyYHM ), Waterloo (@flyYKF), and London (@flyYXU) versus entertaining a "special economic zone" to force a jet-strip into the most environmentally sensitive and densely populated waterfront in the country. We don’t want this. This tiny speck of ecological paradise provides critical respite from our dense and urban concrete jungle and is vital for mental health, community, and happiness. Over 400 peer-reviewed studies show urban forests and parks mitigate depression and anxiety and enhance overall mental well-being. (12) I know you agree because four days ago on March 31, 2026 you announced your "Force of Nature" strategy with the vision of "protecting, restoring, and valuing nature." This wonderful program declares a federal investment of $3.8 billion dollars into "protecting critical habitats and aligning industrial strategies with biodiversity conservation." (13, 14, 15) Also, I looked into the runway expansion into the lake that Premier Ford has promised. Right now the shortest jet runway in Canada is 1832m (YHM Hamilton, ON) and the shortest jet runway in the world is 1508m (LCY London City Airport, UK). There are also new Canadian Aviation Regulations (RESA) stating all runways need to add 150m on each end for safety. (16, 17, 18) Today the Billy Bishop runway is 1216m. (19) Even the most conservative assumption — building the shortest jet runway in the entire world! — still requires a minimum of 600m more runway to land jets. Here is a current aerial view of Billy Bishop Airport. (Photo 1 / attached) Here is an aerial view of Billy Bishop Airport with the smallest possible runway extension of 600m added. (Photo 2 / attached) (Of course this photo doesn’t include additional parking, hangers, gates, aprons, tarmacs, fueling stations, de-icing stations, blast fences, control towers, baggage carousels, taxi pickups … ) We can’t afford this. Premier Ford was first elected in 2018 as the right wing candidate (PC) with 40.5% of the vote (left wing side of NDP and Liberal was 53.2%) and campaigned as a fiscal conservative. (FN) He attacked the Liberals for their $6.7B deficit and vowed a "return to balanced budgets" that would "begin in 2019." (20, 21) Since then Premier Ford has won two more elections — with a nearly identical right / left vote split and record lows in voter turnout — and has now presided over 8 budgets. (22, 23) In order from 2019 to 2026 those eight budgets have been for *deficits* of $8.7B, $16.4B, $13.5B, $5.9B, $5.6, $1.1B, $12.3B, and, most recently, just announced last week on March 26, 2026, coming in at a 77% increase on his own 2025 forecasts, $13.8B. (24, 25) Since Premier Ford was elected he has *increased* Ontario’s debt from $338B to $485B. Ontario now pays $17.2B a year … just in interest payments. (26, 27, 28) Notably, Premier Ford’s most recent $13.8B deficit budget does not include any money for the projected $1-2B cost of expanding Billy Bishop airport. (Prime Minister, you and Premier Ford are both 61 and have a seemingly warm relationship despite wildly different education and business paths. (29, 30, 31, 32) Might you have time for some evening finance tutorials?) Prime Minister Carney: We don’t need this, we don’t want this, we can’t afford this. Please say no to this expansion plan. Please allow the legal agreements governing the airport to remain in the hands of those who legally own it — the City of Toronto and the federal government — and not with Premier Ford’s provincial government who is attempting to autocratically rule something in which it has no stake. At the Junos six days ago on March 29, 2026 you praised 82-year-old @jonimitchell and justifiably called her "one of the greatest artists of all time." (33) Joni warned us about "paving paradise to put up a parking lot" and now that’s exactly what Premier Ford is proposing we do. The Toronto Harbour, Toronto Harbourfront, and Toronto Islands are a crown jewel for the functioning of our great city, our great province, and our great country. Would New York City pave over Central Park? Would Paris put runways on the Seine? We absolutely should not pave the paradise of Lake Ontario to put up runways and parking lots we don’t need, don’t want, and can’t afford. It's not too late. Please say no.

@RefinedGrind @PaGeYReLoADeD I've been rocking Onitsukas (Asics) for damn near twenty years

@PaGeYReLoADeD I’m with you but I feel like ASICS and NB’s been around. Nowhere near as popular as Nike but as I age, those shoes are more comfortable to wear for long periods of time. It’s the on cloud, Salomon, HOKA train that I’m not jumping on. I rather the old school”dad” shoe all day

I REFUSEEEE to jump on this Asics, New Balance trainer trend. Don’t matter how you wanna lace them up… 20 years ago in school you wouldn’t be seen in them trainers and now they are charging extortionate prices for them! Not on my watch… straight Nike all day!

@angertab @AngieEph2ten That's why THIS exists

@AngieEph2ten What makes you so sure that he was running on foot the whole time?

Unbelievable, but true. 150 Miles The distance the F-15 crew member traveled to get rescued, and he did it in 24 hours. That isn't even the amazing part. The amazing part is that he moved 150 miles north to a location that is just 19 miles from the IRGC Missile Base that USA has been bombing all week. The base is MASSIVE! 20 KM in length, hundreds of launch sites, and just South of the city of Isfahan (pop. 2 million). According to Trey Yingst, the CIA deceived the IRGC into believing that the USA was conducting a maritime exfil of the downed crew member. Even more amazing, this operation took place mere 25 miles from the Isfahan Nuclear Facility where Iran is believed to be storing 460kg of 60%+ enriched uranium. The USA just proved our ability to land multiple fixed-wing aircraft, deploy 100+ troops on the ground, dominate the battlespace, and exfil. The USA reportedly lost several aircraft during the operation. They were likely hit by indirect fire from the IRGC base after landing, and or by SAM's brought into Iran by Russia this last week. This is without the completion of the bombing campaign on the IRGC base. Once complete, the USA will take control of the enriched uranium in Isfahan. Make no mistake about it. The USA SOF just had a practice run, deep in enemy territory, and they completed their real-world objective.

@NotFarLeftAtAll Why is it embarrassing? He's a 63year old man? If I'm still running around a 5s pitch when I'm 63 i'll be ecstatic.

@simonrug @Papaalphabravo @twitnick123 @rava_ian Dear oh dear not a great effort from myself

@Papaalphabravo @twitnick123 @rava_ian Correct

By touching down against Leinster on the weekend, Glasgow scrum-half George Horne became the eighth player to score 50 tries in the URC in its various guises. Fancy having a go at naming the other seven?

@hackhilarity Hi Jack, sorry to hear of your situation but could you put me in touch with someone to sort out my free housing (as an immigrant) please? I've been paying rent / mortgage here for 17 years so if it wouldn't put you out too much of love to know... Cheers

I’m a 56-year-old white male Canadian who paid into the system for 40 years. This is my 1-bedroom apartment — no kitchen or washroom included. Can’t find work. Government pays me just $365/month with zero help on housing. Immigrants and refugees get free housing and live comfortably, while the system I contributed to for decades leaves me behind. I’ve been stuck here over a year, collecting recycling just for gas. This is CANADA. 🇨🇦 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@grok @gingermammoth @STVNews @grok how does it compare to 2002?

The stats from FOI requests confirm a sharp rise: violent incidents in Scottish secondary schools jumped 182% since 2021-22 (2,413 to 6,809), primaries 113% (12,075 to 25,770)—now 4x and nearly 3x pre-pandemic levels. No single cause, but unions (EIS), behaviour experts, and reports point to: post-COVID gaps in social skills/mental health, surge in pupils with unmet additional support needs amid staffing shortages, poverty/deprivation effects, and policy shifts reducing exclusions. Govt cites progress on its behaviour action plan; critics want more enforcement like phone bans. Ongoing studies aim to pinpoint root factors.

Violent incidents recorded in Scotland's schools have more than doubled since the last Holyrood election in 2021. i.stv.tv/4sseQQM
