Suspicious spike in Tesla sales in Canada
YouTube video by CTV News Suspicious spike in Tesla sales in Canada

It seems that Canada could use a DOGE of its own.

(NB: Tesla sales in Canada had dropped more than 70% in the month after the US election.)

It’s certainly what happens when you accept criticism of the academy from people who haven’t set foot on a college campus since the last millennium (except perhaps to give paid talks).

Also, Timothy Snyder’s Substack often mentions where you can donate money to support Ukraine.

I forwarded your question to Ukrainian friend. Her response: β€œI get my Uki stuff on Etsy and through Yevshan, which is an online retailer that's based in New York.”

It’s also a product of being mentored by Roy Cohn.

Sadly, Mr. Musk has proven time and time again that he’s unwilling to listen to anyone β€” except those who prostrate themselves to worship at his feet.

If you find yourself succumbing to DC’s daily distractions while losing sight of more existential threats, you might consider adopting a Shakespearean perspective:

What’s in a name? That which we call the Gulf / By any other name would still have a 6705 square mile dead zone.

In a display of nonpartisanship, Trump shows that he supports corrupt politicians regardless of whether they’re Democrats or Republicans.

To be honest, my TV’s been muted for most of the game (except halftime). When I looked up from reading and saw the hat head, I had no idea what was going on. I assumed it was a ripoff of The Point but didn’t care enough to find out.

I can’t believe that the still-alive Martin Gore gave permission to use β€œPersonal Jesus” in a Christmercial. Does the songwriting not have a say in the use of their intellectual property?

Let me see if have this straight. It’s okay to deprive the world’s neediest people of life-saving food and medicine, but it’s wrong to hold a bro-hard accountable for saying he was racist before being racist was cool? I’m guessing the White House may need to increase its budget for white sheets.

If DOGE were serious about increasing govt efficiency, they wouldn’t be decapitating necessary agencies like the FAA, DOE, and USAID, they’d be auditing the govt contracts of predatory companies like SpaceX and Tesla.

Woke up this morning and didn’t see my shadow. Turned on the lights and there it was. Went back to sleep for another six hours.
