Tech tip for people who are not as good at computers as me: A great way to organise your files is by storing them in "folders". And the most useful part is that computers are so advanced nowadays that they automatically number your folders so that you can easily tell them apart 👍

Only 6.6% of countries are full democracies. Canada is one of them. That's something to be proud of. Something worth fighting for. *Data comes from a division of The Economist. The report is interesting reading if you're worried about the state of modern politics.

Dear Olympic Committee, Due to recent housekeeping issues, safety concerns, contentious political climate, & the spirit of ethical sportsmanship, I suggest you pick a new country to host the #LA2028 Olympic Games. I no longer think the USA is a viable candidate. Sincerely, a concerned Californian

My 4-point marketing plan to change negative views of jellyfish: 1. Rebrand them as Ocean Puppies 2. Dig up dirt on people who claim to have been stung by an ocean puppy and blackmail them to retract 3. Get ocean puppies into petting zoos so kids can pet them 4. If they sting any kids, see point 2

It is kinda funny that people are going wow Canada seems pretty united and pissed off and yeah I guess threatening to take over someone’s homeland and trying to economically ruin them might make folks a little upset that’s wild

This is your regularly scheduled reminder that the actual text of certain executive orders does NOT rename the entire Gulf of Mexico, and the area it renames is not technically a Gulf.

I once met the leader of our country. I was wearing just an ordinary t-shirt, and he didn't care whether I was dressed up in a suit or not.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

I realize no one wants to hear context and "how we got here" when things are so knife-edged right now. But if we really want to make this a "reforming" moment we need to push for the reigning in of presidential power and authority. The problem is that both sides like that when they have it.

US Navy SEALs have a test to see if there are sharks near you. Dip your finger in the water, and taste it. If it's salty, they say, you're in the ocean, and there are probably sharks near you! While true, it doesn't account for dozens of species (NOT just bull sharks) in fresh or brackish water.

My place of work just put up a new fire safety sign in the office. It says "In case of fire, leave the building BEFORE posting it on social media". I wish I was joking. This is the beginning of the end of humanity.

The trade war may be paused, but the battle is far from over. I know it’s cliché, but we really are stronger together. And if there’s one benefit to all this, it’s how unified we are against Trump’s reckless policies. So let’s keep: 🍁 supporting local 🍁 buying Canadian 🍁 standing up to bullies

I sat in a Waffle House in Florida in December and looked around at the friendly staff and quiet local customers and thought… Trump is going to fuck these people over so bad.
