Empty storefronts shouldn't stay empty. Chinatown deserves better.
Ken Sim & ABC have been distracted by pulling political stunts for four years, and neighbourhoods like Chinatown have paid the price.

Elon Musk is entertaining the idea of buying a Japanese TV network because the Nobunaga account that shares AI-generated slop about America being great -mixed with lots of anti-foreigner racism- told him Japan is in danger and needs to be saved.
I don't know if the popular "Nobunaga" account is actually run by a Japanese person, they are emblematic of how this site allows people to make money posting AI-generated garbage.
The account's owner charges a very expensive monthly subscription that grants access to AI prompts you can copy & paste to go viral and make money on X.
Many of their posts are AI slop fiction praising the United States, such as their viral story about being shocked by $5 Costco chicken (it's sold for pretty much the same price in Japan).
However, they also regularly post rants about Japan being "invaded" by foreigners and appeal to people who believe that Western countries are being ruined by immigration. They aren't just "mildly racist."

The completely predictable 180 on Sebastian Berhalter after he moved to Europe has happened. Realistically, this is the same player that played for Vancouver Whitecaps all last season. The difference is that they no longer have an irrational reason to hate him. That's it.
What a FUCKING golazo to make it 4-1 against Peru. Berhalter is on another level since his move to Boro. He’s cooking with grease!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I’m proud he’s proving me wrong….

Narita and Haneda in Tokyo have showers and even short term sleep rooms. Good luck with the gym though.
Airports really need gyms and showers. If I have a 3-hour layover, I’d rather get a workout in, stretch, shower, and walk onto the plane feeling fresh than sit around drinking overpriced airport coffee.

But yes let’s negotiate with them in good faith
This is an extraordinary story of extortion and hypocrisy.
The U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle — a close Trump ally and former fiancée of Donald Trump Jr. — admitted that the United States helped bring down governments that stood in its way.
During a private dinner in Athens, while discussing the collapse of Romania’s government, Guilfoyle said: “We can do this to any country we want. We can do it here too.”
The Greek energy minister pushed back, saying the United States cannot simply replace a government elected by the people.
Guilfoyle insisted that they have already done this in Romania.
On March 31, Guilfoyle met privately in Bucharest with senior Romanian Social Democratic officials. The discussion included the Vertical Gas Corridor and energy cooperation.
Weeks later, the Social Democrats joined the pro-russian AUR party in a no-confidence vote that brought down Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan’s government. Bolojan had resisted a proposed arrangement involving expensive U.S. gas imports.
So, according to Guilfoyle, Trump administration engineered the collapse of Romania’s government in a clear extortion attempt. And to do so, they have collaborated with a far left party - the communists as MAGA calls them.
Anyone who still has any illusion that MAGA is a “conservative movement” needs a serious reality check.

For the past 18 months, opposition parties in BC such as OneBC and the BC Conservatives have actively fomented this kind of residential school denialism and anti-Indigenous racism, creating space for it to grow as a politically useful rhetoric. This statement is disingenuous.
The white nationalist gathering on Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc land this morning was hateful and meant to intimidate. It has no place in British Columbia, and BC Conservatives condemn it completely. We stand with the people of Tk'emlúps, and we expect the RCMP to investigate fully.

People will die because of lack of badly needed healthcare funding just so his wealthy corporate supporters don’t have to pay their fair share of taxes. Yet another cruel conservative.

The most amazing thing about LEGO's largest set in history (12,060 pieces) is that the designer chose to honor Gaudi's genius by only using existing pieces.

No, I mean I literally have not heard this song
What Some Folks Really Mean When They Claim to Have Never Heard ‘Choosin’ Texas’
Proclaiming you're unfamiliar with Ella Langley's record-setting song has a lot in common with saying "I listen to anything but country."
