My MAGA neighbor five minutes ago: “I just read that tariffs are going to raise prices for stuff. I don’t get it. I thought China was going to pay them.” I explained how tariffs work. I wish you could see the look on the guy’s face when it sunk in. So much ignorance out there.

@dimastreaming I’m absolutely for this tax.

The federal government has just brought in a new streaming tax, at a time when life is already unaffordable. It's time to take action and let them know they should #ScrapTheStreamingTax

@BrentToderian Im currently moving to Bsky. I can’t justify encouraging the zombie of Twitter anymore.

SOCIAL MEDIA WARS UPDATE: For me specifically, the social media platform “wars” are pretty much over, in that I’ve figured out my general intentions. Mastodon had a good start and a good audience but stopped growing a while ago. I don’t find Threads that useable, and there are other issues too. I’ll still post on those two, but they won’t be my focus. LinkedIn has gotten surprisingly good with a specific audience, and I’ll do more there. But it’s clear to me that the official alternative to Twitter/X and likely successor is Blu#sky. Whatever you decide to do here (I’m still staying for the moment and continuing to observe/assess, but my activity level and approach will be changing), I hope to see you at Blu#sky too. I still see every single day how incredibly important social media is to the struggle for better cities and city-building. Don’t give up on it. Make it work for you.

Cyclists, be visible* on the roads. Front and rear lights, fluorescent vest, reflectors, ... And don't forget your helmet. *be careful to avoid the mistakes of motorists, who do not look at the road and will kill you without realising it. x.com/BikingJulien/s…

@Meroy22 @baube19 @smlacombe Parce que c’est le cas la majorité du temps. Mais j’attends votre explication pour comment on fait pour ne pas voir une personne ET un cheval. Un Cheval.

@baube19 @smith5381 @smlacombe C'est faux, il y a enquête sur un événement qui s'est produit il y a à peine une semaine. Au Canada, on est innocent jusqu'à preuve du contraire, peu importe la situation. Mais pour les gens comme vous, c'est coupable automatique si ça implique une voiture

This is why this Lake is Superior.

So the big story I am writing is how Senate and House candidates in key swing states like NV, AZ, MI and WI (and maybe PA) won very tight races, yet somehow Harris lost all those states to Trump. Those numbers do not compute. Did Democrats vote for Elisa Slotkin and Trump? Ruben Gallego and Trump? Tammy Baldwin and Trump? How did Amy Klobachar get 150k more votes than Harris in MN? The math ain't mathing.

BREAKING 🚨🚨‼️‼️ Every Democrat up for reelection on Tues in the PA House has now won. Every single one. This session we delivered $1.3 B in more public school funding, property tax & rent relief, & tripled child tax credit. No vouchers. Dems maintain control of PA House!!

Over 73 million Americans just said this was not a deal-killer for them and that we should put into office the liar who incited it.

@BOWZ6CV @CP24 You’re not sad. If you were sad you wouldn’t take the opportunity to comment on a kid’s death to distribute your factless opinion. You’re brainwashed because it’s a well known and studied fact separated bike paths are safer. Tou don’t give a single thought to the kid’s family.

@CP24 Really sad. Just proves how dangerous cross rides and side paths are . Yet they continue to build them....

#BREAKING: 13-year-old cyclist dies after being struck by vehicle in Ajax cp24.com/local/durham/2…

Summary of the whole situation: The whole event was most likely organized at a high state level in Israel, all with the aim of playing the "victim" card again in order to restore sympathy for Israel, which after the genocide in Gaza and the brutal massacre of children in front of cameras has totally damaged the state's image and of the Jews as a people. The Mossad, which was infiltrated among the fans, initiated the attacks on taxi drivers and private property in order to provoke a reaction from the local Muslim population and play the "the victim" card. This huge action was immediately joined by the mainstream media, many influencers who call themselves "conservatives" and are on the payroll of the Jewish lobby, as well as many liberal politicians and conservatives as well. 14/

Testimonials according to Dutch citizens 12/

Surprisingly the Daily Mail mainstream media, who have totally pro-Israel views, decided not to join the propaganda and write the truth. 11/

New information has come out that Israeli hooligans also beat up a Dutch man, and released a video again twisting the facts that it was the Israelis who were being beaten up. The Dutch woman who authored the video exposed their lies 10/

Israeli soldiers who are currently involved in the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza are outraged and immediately began to publicly release material from the crimes, mentioning Amsterdam 9/

Politicians from Israel and all of Europe who have shown servility to Israel several times in the past immediately joined the propaganda of "Jewish victimization". 8/

Then all of a sudden the "playing the victim" card was pulled and the entire mainstream media controlled by the powerful Jewish lobby started spreading propaganda, calling this beating, a pogrom against the Jews, a holocaust and similar nonsense. 7/

After all this, they took a beating after a bunch of young Moroccans organized themselves. 6/

Then the Israeli hooligans started going wild and attacking citizens of Arab origin, bystanders, taxi drivers, etc. Vandalism of Arab bars, attacks on private objects where Palestinian symbols were displayed also began. 5/

After leaving the stadium, they started shouting obscene slogans and celebrating the genocide and massacre of children in Gaza with slogans like "There are no schools in Gaza because there are no children left" 4/
