#ICYMI #healthcare #canada - Big Box #pharmacy - not ideal. Small Independent #pharmacies - that's the way to go. My thoughts below:

The thing about all these men is they could date anybody. They're rich, they're famous. They could bag socialites or models or actresses or whoever. Instead they single out the most vulnerable women and girls they can find. They cannot form relationships with women who are their peers.

Earth-size planet spotted with yearlong orbit Long-overlooked Kepler signal discovered by citizen scientists reveals promising world worth a closer look

Whenever I spent time on normie platforms (your threads, your Facebook), I become more and more convinced that a large part of our problem as a nation is the literacy crisis. People have trouble with basic reasoning. They can't follow very simple logic or compound sentences. It's disturbing.

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, I believe most Canadians will agree that it is in Canada's best interests if you cancel all of Palantir's contracts with the Canadian government. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
