I’m not a big curling guy, but I get the significance of this, and WOW it’s mind-blowing. Some are calling it the best shot in curling history! #TeamCanada at the #ParalympicGames.

I wish we hadn't done this to ourselves. We've always had merchants of doubt who knew damn well that we were doing things that would cause long term harm and they convinced everyone else that all was fine. See also: Smoking, COVID. I don't understand why people continue to selfishly have babies.

When you build a highway in northern Ontario, you’re building through Canadian Shield. So sometimes, if you want to keep the road mostly flat, you blast through an awful lot of #SundayPixStone. Note the vertical linesβ€”that’s where they drilled holes for the dynamite/blasting. (This is hwy 69).

With all the ruckus and forced removal in Florida, this may be a good replacement for around Pulse and other areas.

Opinion: Menopausal hormone therapy is free in B.C. and Manitoba. Why not in the rest of Canada? Possible symptom relief for millions of Canadian women has long been financially out of reach

This kind of crap being posted is why I'm rolling angry today.

No, you don't need to worry about Iranian terrorists blowing up your local fucking mall.

Worry about the US government's plans at home. They are a real and immediate threat. Not some lightning strike lone wolves.

This story has everything, a focus on desal that led to overlooking other water sources, a city manager making $400K/yr saying don’t panic, a former water system manager saying residents should absolutely panic, and magical thinking: β€œThe last hope to avert disaster was a 20- to 30-inch rainfall.”

If oil prices spike, working families feel it first at the pump, at the store, everywhere. Dismissing those concerns as foolish ignores real economic pain.

πŸ™Œ sometimes the manuals are written by engineers (should NEVER happen, but…) if they cheap out on actual people who do manuals … so hard for an end user. They should be made to follow their directions using only their non-dominant hand. ☹️

Authoritarians will stop at nothing to feel safe. Since they have no concept of public welfare and consider everyone an asset to be used and discarded, they will easily enter into a military conflict without a long-term strategy, regardless of the casualties it causes.

The 14th Amendment is clear: The Constitution, not the president, defines who is a citizen.

Birthright citizenship is central to who we are as a country, and we're fighting to protect that right at the Supreme Court.
