The Toronto Circus Riot broke out on this day 170 years ago — sparked by a brawl between angry clowns and firefighters at a Victorian brothel.

Here's my annual thread about one of the strangest stories in Canadian history...

I don't have a ton of followers, so if I don't get a reply on this soon, I'm going to post it under a popular and possibly unrelated skeet.

A lot of the posts I see are from a Bluefin starter pack I followed a couple of years ago. Does anyone have an updated version of this? Maybe I'm just not savvy enough to keep it updating?

One of the most spectacular tricks that the “wellness” grift has managed to pull off is convincing people that their industry is untainted by money. That they are all doing it out of their deep concern for their customers’ health.

Yet the global supplement industry alone is worth $177 billion.

Hospitals stunned by Senate GOP’s Medicaid plan Republicans want to curtail taxes states have imposed to increase payments to hospitals.

Let's be clear: this is a red state healthcare executive telling people that rural red states will be gutted.

“The further the cuts that are made, the more devastating it is,” said Shantel Krebs, president and CEO of Avera St. Mary’s, a hospital in South Dakota.

Ben Franklin on inoculation, after his son died from smallpox.

“In 1736, I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation”.

You’re told wrong. $2.93? Maybe. Under $2? Nope. Absolutely wrong. GasBuddy showing lowest around $2.50.

“Also, we’re ending the environmental and regulatory standards”

it's absolutely wild how people convince themselves of an alternative reality. somehow this person believes their #gasprices are down 70 cents from January while the IL average has risen from the $3.20s to $3.40s.

The voters the American party needs to connect with don't give a shit what is happening to the funding of Ivy League schools.

I hear eggs are trading ounce for ounce with fentanyl on the Canadian border.

Thanks to George Conway for posting Caroline Kennedy's letter so everyone is informed about RFK Jr. Please repost far and wide.

A map of the South China Sea and surrounding countries, which are marked as ASEAN members. There's a circle on the sea with the label, "Fight with China."

I made a little picture to help explain to the MAGAts why Pete Hegseth's utter ignorance about ASEAN actually matters, especially for a guy who says he wants to roll back Chinese influence.

I just released the full report on Congress trading in 2024.

Like every year since 2020, some US politicians beat the market.

From the start of 2024 to year end, many had unusual trades & huge portfolio gains.

Here are the top political traders of 2024.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the terrorist in the New Orleans attack was an American citizen born in Texas, NOT an undocumented immigrant, and he was even a Veteran of the U.S. Army.

It's only the FIRST day of the New Year, and trump is already saying dumb shit.

Things appear to be going swimmingly over on Twitter. I'd like to point out, however, that Elon illegally overstayed a student visa - he didn't have an H1B. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

March 2016. Exactly the opposite of the position Musk and Vivek took today.

Some people are finding out billionaires belong to the Money Party and only the Money Party.

Probably should be a bigger deal that Musk, the richest man on Earth who is essentially acting as the leader of the GOP, endorsed the pro-Nazi AfD Party in Germany in a tweet the same a day a supporter of that party killed people in an act of terrorism.

The VP Vance just supported Musk's tweet.

How much are you willing to pay for your exemption? Do you renounce Satan?

Why Big Amazon China Sellers Are Branching Out A key group of Amazon sellers is becoming a lot less loyal to the shopping giant. China-based merchants such as kitchenware seller Carote have added sales through longtime Amazon rivals like Walmart, ...

Everyone in this picture would be able to walk if the polio vaccine had existed in time for them.

No Democrats should even be remotely close to supporting Pete Hegseth for SecDef. Beyond his many moral failings, he is completely unqualified for the job. You have to be out of your damn mind to think he has any place leading our troops.

Billionaires gonna billionaire.

You can look at pricing-led margin expansion as gouging or you can look at it as companies trying to build cushion in an environment of extreme uncertainty, but either way aggressive pricing did lead to an expansion of margins--what Sam Rines called PoV strategy (price over volume).
