Billy, this is Claude Giroux. He is one of the best faceoff guys in hockey and would do anything for his team, including taking a hometown discount. His only defect is that his cars keep getting stolen.

“An evil enemy will burn his nation to the ground to rule over the ashes,” highlights the grave consequences of leaders who lack empathy, morality, and compassion for their people.

Bezos destroying the post opinion pages is just another reminder: Conservatives think free speech is when they can say what they want and when you can say what they want.

One of my neighbours put this up on their lawn. Civic virtue signalling! (extremely complimentary)

My favorite part of the Bezos letter is when he says "we must commit ourselves to freedom by only printing words I personally wish to see"

No matter how hard Republicans and the Trump Administration try, trans people cannot be erased.

Hate and division must never be tolerated.

Pierre Poilievre being typically grating in a letter to Mark Carney, with a Tourettes-like repetition of 'Trudeau'

Eleven 'Trudeaus' in eight sentences, and the year wrong. I have some hope that Canadians will decide they just can't face listening to this whiny creep for four years.

This isn’t just a moronic lie.

It’s more than an insult against an ally.

Trump is using disinformation to justify applying unwarranted & hugely mutually damaging tariffs as a tactic to try to force an ally into giving up its sovereignty.

It’s a hostile takeover attempt. Or overt economic warfare.

Unbelievably petty! The Spanish language version of the White House website was deleted after the inauguration yesterday.

Look what happens when you hit the “go home” button!

I am devastated to find out that a man was found frozen to death yesterday morning on Elgin Street. This is the exact scenario that the city has been working hard to prevent, but this failure is on all of us.

I really don’t know how she deals with it - they’ve been harassing her for so long!

So sad I’m missing tonight’s game - I’ve been a fan of Chabby’s since he first made the team. I couldn’t make it tonight since my dad was rushed to hospital & ended up needing emergency open heart surgery. 😢 I’ll be checking for one on FB Marketplace in the next few days🤞🏻

Meme with side by side pictures of Marco Rubio and RFK, Jr, labeled “Marco” and “Polio.”

Who made this? Ahahaha

Anti-vax lunatic Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is coming for your children.

Not figuratively. Literally.

Do you know how dark Twitter has to be for *STEPHEN KING* to say it’s too dark

🦋 WELCOME TO BLUESKY! I recommend exploring our custom feeds, which are a little like hashtags but more interesting. We have them for academic and professional subjects, sports, cities, hobbies (e.g., gardening, baking), and many more. Search them in the sidebar under Feeds. 🧵

Site now recovered

Btw — Today will get interesting! If the site goes down, maybe grab a soda, pet the kitty. We’ll hit it with a wrench as fast as we can

It’s not typically slow, it’s most likely due to the overwhelming number of new users coming over from over *there*. I suggest you follow the Bluesky account, they have a bunch of general info, planned improvements etc. Glad to see you here - I would miss your E & V updates so much! 😊
