Just fantastic. I moved to Toronto from the US in 2019 and watched my first games while trying to support the Leafs, but they make it tough! This game was actually fun and got me more into it!

Working unified theory of the meaning of human existence, combining 1) Parts of the Dogmas of Hillelism focusing on rejection of nationalities 2) notions of hierarchies of needs for communal actualization Maslow ignored when he stole from The Blackfoot 3) The right to experience sublime moments

Trump’s approval rating today: CNN: -5% Gallup: -6% IPSOS: -7% Q-PAC: -4%

I wish this guy would just play his music and not weigh in on politics. Yeesh.

I am really outdone. The Maryland National Guard cannot celebrate Frederick Douglass, the state’s native son and perhaps the greatest American this nation ever produced, because he’s Black and his chosen birthday happened to fall during Black History Month. (Ask me why he had to choose is b-day)

Should an aspiring leader of Canada be blaming Canada for Trump’s tariffs? tnc.news/2025/02/03/p...

If we’re looking at the simplest explanation to this Tariff crap, it could be insider trading and attempted to game the market and let Trump and his grifter super team to make a lot of money?

If each Treasury payee is a separate record, and there are, say, 68,000,000 social security payees (as is estimated), then at $5000 per violation, it seems like Elon could be penalized $340 billion if he unlawfully accessed their Treasury records...

I’m outraged and concerned about Trump and the rise of fascism, rolling back of rights, racism, and about this new trade war with my new country of residence, but also…Doncic for Davis??!

This is really interesting. Groundbreaking study on the value of libraries and “third places.” “A whopping 82% of people who used the library’s physical space and 79% of people who physically attended programs reported more optimism regarding the future, compared to only 58% of digital-only users.”

Interviewer: “so what’s this gap in your resume?” “Oh, those were the years when they weren’t hiring Black people.”

I think we’re seeing the worst case scenario of Project 2025 and people like Curtis Yarvin thah @iwriteok.bsky.social tried to warn us about and the mainstream media ignored. Everything happening is basically the playbook being executed.

When the tariffs lead to higher prices, will Americans finally remember that Trump’s response to COVID and is what led to high inflation in the first place?

Remember all the people arguing that he said he didn’t know anything about Project 2025 so therefore it was nothing to worry about?

I thought Bluesky was supposed to be decent. I’ve had to block 25+ pornbots in the past two days. How is this different than Twitter?

Should I delete my Mastadon or is that the one to go to when Bluesky goes to pot?

Horrendous

Jimmy Carter is prime example of America’s political and societal flaws. Greedy military industrialists combined with religious and political ideologues wreck the globe, then blamed a lone progressive (in power for a short time on cleanup duty) when one or two chickens came home to roost.

I think I need to take 18 months and read all the articles and reports I’ve ever emailed to myself to read “later”
