More than 1200 at the #NoKings rally in my Trumpy little Florida town. Much bigger than the last protest (because things are so much worse). Power to the people!

"we don't technically measure"....Jesus wept. But they do have "leads", and "potential" things, and they "move the needle". And cost a crapload of dollars for it all.

Classic!

Yeah, no.

Portlanders — show off your corner of war-ravaged Portland below.

He did his own research!

My expectations of Canada Post are:
• that it provides reliable, affordable services throughout Canada — even (especially!) rural locations;
• that it does so through the efforts of an adequately-remunerated workforce.

My expectations of Canada Post are NOT:
• that it turns a profit. That's nuts.

Another REAL “win”.

It’ll be the usual wing nut suspects.

Glurpo, the world's only underwater clown, c.1960. 🤡

Oh why not. My taxes only went up a crapton this year for nothing extra. I'm happy to pay for REAL boondoggles, ball fields, you name it! Add to it my 100+/mo water bill for water and the hidden taxes they tack on....

OK I had to click. Thank heavens it wasn't the DM link.

And of course no such rules for boys.

And people drive like they’ve never seen that weather before.

Their Catholic high school in a very conservative region didn’t turn a hair - name change, pronouns, everything was done with no fuss and complete acceptance. I think that’s the rule, rather than the exception. 2/2

It’s hard when that seems to be all you see in the news and social media. But here’s a counterbalance: last year, a young relative came out as non binary. 1/2

Actually, it isn’t. Yes, in some teachers, in some locations, I’m sure, but omnipresent? Not at all.

Which bigots? The private Christian schools? Separate schools? Public schools?

This, a thousand times.

Drifting? It's there.

So happy PP doesn't understand "pivot".

Good grief.

Share #HATM with all of your friends

See? This is what I’m on about. In the span of one month we have gone from Twisters,to Anchorman,to Wicked to Arm wrestling with Sylvester Stallone and next week on to Trans rights,and a movie I have never heard of or would have probably watched when left to my own devices. #HATM is for the people.

It's not the most important thing at the moment, but I'm so embarrassed for America. To have world leaders concern themselves with symbols of placation for an overgrown manchild. To have the leader of a country fighting for its life thinking about what he wears to the White House.

This. I live in a safe neighbourhood, but I'd think it was a hellscape if I paid attention to NextDoor or the FB groups.

He has a fancy new job in Executive Council.

My favourite ones are the mysterious multi-use ones east of Elphinstone with indecipherable symbols on the road.

Ah, one of the (in)famous bike lanes to nowhere. Every I'm at Euston Road in London, I marvel at how they have traffic AND bike lanes and it all works. They don't give a crap about parking, as it should be.

What bike route?? There is none on 14th. The obvious solution would be to remove one parking lane on 13th but we know that will never happen. And a pox on e-scooters.
