"Direct inverse correlation" is what I expect from a first-year student writing a lab report at the last second and not the head of a cabinet department in charge of people's health.

So is there a small Canadian town like Dixville Notch, New Hampshire where everyone casts their votes right at midnight on Election Day? #cdnpoli

SORRY. Sorry. Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement

The pope has died. Also, FanDuel is no longer taking bets for a Nick Castellanos home run tonight.

I’ve never been more convinced that WWE is too successful for its own good. They don’t know good booking anymore, they just get lucky lol

And still, MLB won't put replay cameras on foul poles.

A doctor from Colombia once told me “in my country, Easter weekend is full of debauchery because god is dead for three days and there’s nobody watching” and I think about him every year.

Every Democratic presidential candidate better lead their platform with "this motherf*cker is getting the Noriega treatment on Day 1."

While this does look promising, why do Canadian pollsters track nationwide popular vote at all when it's just the number of seats that matter? Is there some desperation to make this seem close?

Remember when we could've had "taco trucks on every corner?"

"Who could have predicted this?" say the people who spent the past year dismissing or mocking those who predicted this.

Total commitment.

i know the 'Irish stock market' is a real thing but it sounds vaguely racist to me. like it's what the Americans call a board behind the bar with all the drink prices on it

My brother got me tickets to a Jimmy Dore show tonight as a "gift" and all I can say is that he has extremely terrible taste in comedy or that he bought the tickets as a prank. Seriously, my IQ dropped by at least half during that 90 minutes. The only upside was that I didn't lose any money over it.

I did not have "6-yard indirect free kick" on my list of things I thought I'd see today. #IPSWOL

Look, for over a year, one brave Cassandra was warning you that massive tariffs were coming and that they’d wreak havoc on the economy. But no one listened to Donald Trump.

I've been following @sadie-schreiner.bsky.social for the past year or so. I have no connection to her other than she runs track like I did, attends the same school that my brother did, and that school competes in the same league as my alma mater. Take 23 minutes out of your day and learn her story.

If anything, focus on the fact that there is clearly no successor to trump that will keep the party unified.

Here’s a timeline cleanser for ya. Anti-Trump protestors on both sides of the US/Canada border calling out to each other across the Detroit River. Love you Canada 🇨🇦 #BuyCanadian

WTF was that, Panama? #NationsLeague

Jesse Marsch gets sent off and then gets to watch the rest of the game from a luxury suite?

These people vote. 😔

Joe Biden on life support would have been better than this

So pardons are supposedly invalid because they weren't signed with a feather quill and ink dip, but people are also allowed to own any type of gun unimaginable when just muskets were available.
