Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

The collective purchasing power of the roughly 16 million people taking GLP-1 weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy has the potential to profoundly reshape the economy in the coming years.

Elon Musk threatens FBI agents and air traffic controllers with forced resignation if they do not respond to an email (sound familiar?) www.wired.com/story/doge-e...

There is currently a petition in the House of Commons to revoke Elon Musks Canadian citizenship. 33000+ signatures so far: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #Canada #cdnpoli

Good one, Jewel. www.instagram.com/reel/DGROMDI...

I don't believe in accelerationism but if that is a real thing that works we'll find out soon enough

Bird flu found in California rats as USDA scrambles to rehire scientists

U.S. to Ukraine: Minerals for Starlink? The Trump administration threatened to cut Ukraine’s Starlink unless they hand over minerals. Zelensky refused, saying he won’t “sell the country off.” With Ukraine dependent on Starlink for war efforts, is this strategic pressure—or a dangerous ultimatum?

Tonight's sunset.

I still find it odd that America is the only nation I know that self censors and willingly gobbles down its own propaganda. There's no restriction on freedom of information or any policies forcing them to be so insular, yet it's rare to see them use media or gather info outside of the USA.

Thousands protest in London ahead of third anniversary of Ukraine war

‘Go Woke, Go Broke’? More Like ‘Go Trump, Go Bankrupt’ Trump fired the Kennedy Center leadership, packed the board with loyalists, and claimed he was “saving” the institution. Now? Ticket sales down 50%, artists canceling, patrons boycotting. Turns out, MAGA loyalty doesn’t sell tickets.

Ticket sales dropped roughly 50 percent week-over-week after Trump announced his takeover, sources said. Meanwhile, performers are mulling their options.

The one person issuing threats in this clip was not the governor

This is really something

I miss you like a bird misses the warmth of home, like it travels the world every spring just to go back.

The Broccoli family was reportedly paid $1bn by Amazon to cede creative control over the James Bond franchise, as part of an agreement that has been met with mixed reactions from the films’ former stars ⬇️

Worst. Episode. EVER.

He nails it.

Reminder: Zelenskyy refused to leave Kyiv as bombs fell. Donold hid in a bunker from protesters with cardboard signs.

TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any federal funding at all

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of Feb. 22, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Child exploitation and 'cuckooing' to be made criminal offences

The only disappointing factor in #Anora is the amount of homophobic slurs in the film. They seem to fit the character that's uttering them but I wish Sean Baker could think of something else. I'm also not sure about the false allegations of rape. Assault, yes. But I'm not sure you can say it's rape

Funny thing about #SNL50 is every generation says, “SNL isn’t funny anymore.” Which means it was funny at the time it was meant to be funny to you. It’s not that it’s not funny anymore, it’s no longer geared towards you. Get over it.

Trump just erased the only nationwide police misconduct database. Launched in Dec. 2023, it tracked disciplinary records across 90 federal agencies. Now? Gone. The White House won’t say why, but we know—accountability is bad for the people Trump protects.

#Anora is a lot funnier than I expected and is a really entertaining indie film. The ending made me sad. I can see why the cast and Sean got so many nominations.

Team Canada wins in overtime, and l’ve never been delighted with a hockey win before, ever.

Germany’s economy shrank slightly in 2024, after adjusting for rising prices. Forecasts for this year don’t look much better, and other measures look even worse. Here’s our breakdown what it looks like when an economy rapidly loses its edge.

Did you hear about the Italian chef? He pasta away. Get it? I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

Gorgeous two wolves.

Ex-NFL punter Chris Kluwe called MAGA a “Nazi movement” at a city council meeting—and got arrested for it. He listed what MAGA stands for: book bans, attacks on trans rights, defunding education, and anti-democracy extremism. “You may have replaced a swastika with a red hat, but that is what it is.”

In 1983, I was cast in Son of Surf Dracula, a CBS half hour test pilot about a single dad who lives with his undead father in a beach house. I was the Son's son. Norman Fell was Surf Dracula, Jeff Bridges played my dad. My catch phrase was "Whatever, grampy vampy." Didn't get picked up.

When you think about it, the #CANvsUSA #4NationsFinal was poetic. Americans won on Canadian soil. Canadians won on American soil.

severance is a great show because the average female character is a monstrously dedicated ice-chewing psychopath while the average male character is a sopping wet cat
