Because of its effect on TSLA, the next article you read on the Trump-Musk feud may introduce Musk as “a wealthy man.” Woah, we’re halfway there…

Something about “giving aid and comfort to our enemies”

In the past, political events occurred and eventually the architecture from that time bore those names: gothic, romanesque, byzantine, victorian. In the future, they will refer to the buildings we are about to build as orwellian. #architecture #history

Canada vs USA in rugby sevens Vancouver. Gonna be interesting!

Measles are great again.

Ben Franklin was right about the choice of the bald eagle as a national symbol. We have devolved into his exact description of the bird. todayinconservation.com/2018/01/janu...

Is it ever not ironic if one uses the word “humane”?

I'm having trouble deciding between the Woke Mind Virus and the Apartheid Mind Virus. Picking sides is hard, y'all.

Suspended tariffs? He’s afraid to impose them.

who should be able to claim credit for the Gaza deal is the wrong question. If a deal was reachable, why wasn't it reached earlier is a better question.

When I hear about “standing on the shoulders of giants” I think of all the tools I have and how some of them are such a joy to use because they are so effective. They are testimony to the cumulative, iterative improvements from anonymous workers over centuries. We are giant. #woodworking #tools

Few Americans know what Jimmy Carter did at Chalk River, every American should. Truly a remarkable life. #canadianhistory www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Finally one thing we can all agree on: Republicans are absolutely killing it these days. #killingit #America

If you squint just right, things look great.

Megs Braap has put together the best and most fun motovlogging package I have ever seen. Chaos, really amazing views, crazy good riding skills, it's all there. #motorcycle #mototravel #offroad #dirtbike youtu.be/sf39Mxbxkpk?...

Oh, the ironies of Rupert Murdoch maneuvering to control his empire from beyond the grave. First he poisoned conservatives on the media to build his empire, then his poison created a movement he despised, then he had to kiss that ring to remain relevant. Stop, already. Please.

I am not normally one to rush to the defense of rich kids. But the way the right wingers tore into Hunter Biden made me feel sick to my stomach. He’s an addict who has freely admitted his crimes and is on a better path. That’s behaviour worth praising.

Connecting the dots vs concocting the dots

if Bluesky was a US state right now, it would have 27 seats in the House, right between NY and FL delegations

talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/my-ki... exactly this. Best thing @joshtpm.bsky.social has ever written. But also add keep a graph of polling about right direction/wrong direction, because it's important to track sentiment and how it does not align with reality.
