Some of us are just goofy with our levels of fandom.

It is! Eastern Canada and parts of the southern US are littered with them.

Acadians bother you?

You did it! Congratulations and felicitations to the new arrival and family.

Happy birthday! May the path be a long one.

Mark Carney Anita Anand: will you call for the release of these hostages taken by the Israeli apartheid regime? They were kidnapped in international waters by a state committing genocide.

Love this tactic!

Judge in Hockey Canada trial failed to understand trauma of E.M.: advocate Women's rights advocate Julie Lalonde says she's disappointed with the verdict in the sexual assault trial against five ex-world junior hockey players, saying the judge failed to understand the impact...

BREAKING: Concession workers at Fenway are on strike.

This is the first walkout in the 113 year history of the Boston Red Sox’s stadium.

These essential workers will be on strike as the World Series champion Dodgers come to town this weekend.

a scholar with high standing in his field, should be "counterbalanced" by a columnist notorious for his incendiary, click-mongering, and manifestly ideological takes. And this is before we address the perversity of treating the legal designation of genocide as something to debate in the Opinion section. (Alt text continued in reply)

I truly intended this just as an email and not a public thing but fuck it we ball. The New York Times is not alone in its culpability but it is deeply culpable and its near-monopoly status in our blighted American media ecosystem allows it to do what it does.

Hey @ndp.ca where is this message from you, for Canadians? We don’t get small boats (yet) but we have the same shitty narratives about immigration and how there’s no money. What’s your response and why isn’t it this direct?

NYC Stasi.

Can you dm me why and contact info please?

Unionized comms people or people who do comms for a union? I work with both (in Canada if that matters).

Same! I lived in Edmonton Alberta and we all saved our money so we could go to Japanese Village. Fancy times.

I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor. This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us. fatehformayor.com/donate
