A screenshot of IQAir's air quality map for southwestern Ontario, showing "very unhealthy" air quality in a band from Kincardine through Kitchener-Waterloo to Hamilton, along with a sidebar showing Toronto having the second-worst air quality of any city in the world. And this is better than it was earlier today.
An LLM-generated image, posted to Trump's Truth Social account, of Trump as the messiah, laying hands on the sick as a bunch of white people look on adoringly. There are two eagles, three badly rendered jet planes, and five silhouetted figures that could be angels, fighter pilots, or in one case a butch Lady Liberty with wings.
A screenshot from the Wikipedia page for Marilyn Gladu, describing how she supported a House of Commons petition in January 2026 to require floor-crossers to vacate their seat for a by-election, followed immediately by a description of how she crossed the floor herself in April 2026.
Picture of Jenni Byrne, smiling, wearing a "make America great again" hat.
Screenshot of an email being composed. The word "I'll" is highlighted by a grammar checker, with the suggested fix being to change the initial 'I' to a lower-case 'i'.

Screencap of Greg Gutfield on "The Five". The table is high enough and the chair is short enough that his feet are practically dangling, and the edge of the table comes up nearly to his chest. His mug looks disturbingly like a golliwog.
The interior of a shed that used to be full of black walnut shells and other tree litter, now containing four full yard waste bags of said tree litter.
The cover of the "Amalgam comics" title Super Soldier, combining Superman and Captain America into a single character, in a Captain America-like costume but with the Superman crest on the shield.
A long-haired grey cat with a prominent ruff, sleeping on his side with his paws curled up in the middle of his owner's work desk, 'cause his owner didn't need to reach ALL of the keys on the keyboard, right? Right.
A recipe for sponge cake including 2/3 of a cup of sugar and 1/3 of a cup of cornstarch, among other ingredients.
Image from the Dark Knight Returns of Batman breaking the stock of a gun, saying "This is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it."
The US Dollar continues its decline, losing three cents against the Canadian dollar in a single day. Like, damn.
The section heading for section 3, "Idiots".
A 1-day graph of the US dollar rate in Canadian dollars, showing a precipitous drop starting at 9:00 UTC, which is when Trump's tariff remarks today began.

A photo of an incomplete kitchen, but once which now has forest green cupboards, dark wood counters, a working stove and range hood, and one wall covered in white tile resembling fish scales.
A bowl full of raisins and currants and dried cranberries and dried blueberries and dried cherries and dried apricots and lemon zest and orange zest and candied ginger and rum!

A pot of veggie chili simmering on the stove.
