Like a big, dumb Frankenstein, striving to be greater than the sum of his parts.
Normally, I wouldn't, but work paid for this one (just don't tell them that).

The Ontario govt took $60M out of public education and handed it to Staples.

Tomorrow, 80K elementary teachers each get $750 of the misappropriated money to buy overpriced classroom supplies at an 🇺🇸 corporation.

Please remember this the next time Captain Canada tells you to #BuyCanadian.

Any day now, Trump will direct the FBI to investigate Ted Cruz for being the Zodiac Killer, and Kash Patel will actually have to do it.

High speed rail will improve the lives of way more Ontarians than expanding Billy Bishop, but Doug says 'screw you, this is about my airport'.

To add to this, Chrome now lets you put all your tabs vertically along the edge of the window.

So, yes, this is another one of those features I'm going to personally take credit for because my open tabs look more like a To-Do List than ever.

That quote from the dude saying, "You make $0.00/hr hating billionaires." is like this perfect (accidental, self-unaware) glimpse into the whole point.

(a) That you only measure value by how much it translates into dollars on an hourly basis
is
(b) why we loathe you.

Insane new research. Scientists gave asthma patients free electric stoves to replace their gas stoves, then checked to see if symptoms improved.

Not only did symptoms improve, ditching gas was *better than medicine.*

Researchers used electric stoves to treat asthma. It worked.
The latest evidence that gas is bad for your health.

Waiting for the inevitable copy and paste from Ottawa City Council. Sure, it's hard to turn away help when you need it, but sometimes you have to.
An anti-2SLGBTQIA+ organization was invited to Ottawa to assist with flood cleanup. They are here.
This same group was in NYC during COVID and turned away queer volunteers during COVID. Here's how NYC felt after receiving support from this group.

Reminder that Carney has cut funding for Natural Resources Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Indigenous and Northern Affairs, and Indigenous Services. And he has rolled back climate protections, abandoned emissions targets, and is building more pipelines.

Get this: the city’s emergency management department now tells me that they strategically decided NOT to inform anyone, lest they wanted to watch and overwhelmed the existing crowds at LeBreton Flats with Bluesfest on.

Absolutely ludicrous.
