Hi. I’m still alive. I’ve been over at that other app 🦋 and it’s much more like vintage bird app. I’ll slowly find anyone I’m missing, but I’m basically not going to be spending much time here anymore. Hadn’t opened it in two weeks, I think?

@thetonymichaels @CheriJacobus Jeffries has been Minority Leader for nearly two years already? Appreciate Pelosi’s years of service but she already did step down from leadership. But on that topic, I saw a clip of Steny Hoyer today and, sharp as he still is, has he not yet earned retirement? 😅

🚨Ford government releasing hundreds of dangerous offenders before charges are tested at trial due to lack of resources in provincially run courts. “The trial didn't proceed as planned because the courthouse didn't have enough staff to run the courtroom.” The Ford government is failing the justice system. I guess spending $225 million to get beer into convenience stores is more of a priority than funding our justice system adequately. Details below 👇 cbc.ca/amp/1.7378668

@EricElemen @zillionheir Exactly. The nonspecific “men’s issues” they claim aren’t being addressed seem to mostly boil down to: not able to be a racist at work or in public or not able to catcall/harass women without being “cancelled” (which we all know is so permanent 🙄) We are not oppressed…

@zillionheir Weirdos need to name these fucking issues. I can't think of one. I'm 50 years old, a man, and was a boy. When did society put "issues" on me?

@Byronik @DevinCow And I mostly like Ridley Scott films too… I never got the Russel Crowe win for Best Actor for it either, though he earned it anyway the following year with his performance in A Beautiful Mind, so that was a wash!

@Parkerlawyer Wasn’t Traffic years after that? It won Best Picture its year and a lot of people think it shouldn’t have…

I saw a promo for the new Gladiator movie and said to my husband, “That looks good. I wonder if I need to see the original first so I know what’s going on.” My husband jumped up and with his full outside voice said, “YOU’VE NEVER SEEN GLADIATOR?!?” 2.5 hrs later, credits rolling, I said, “That was so good. I bet it won a lot of awards.” My husband, “It was nominated for 12 Academy Awards and won best picture, best actor, best costume, best visual effects, and best sound mixing. Ridley Scott was robbed of best director, but Steven Soderbergh won for Traffic, another all time great.” Me, “I’ve never seen Traffic, what’s it about?” My husband, “YOU’VE NEVER SEEN TRAFFIC?!”

@SteveRattner @AndreaChalupa And that’s just fine with the controlling party of most of these states. There’s already a decades-long movement to starve public school systems there and redistribute state funds to private interests, along with variously underpaying teachers &/or allowing relg indoctrination…

States that went to Trump stand to lose much more from his plan to abolish the Dept of Education. They receive more federal funds than blue states despite contributing fewer tax dollars.

@shollins77 If people have decided on a narrative, despite any & all facts that contradict it, no amount of addressing the issue with facts is going to convince them otherwise. What was or wasn’t LPC fault or even within their control no longer matters.

The liberal party needs to address this somehow. Or they’ll lose.

Talking to a friend and she’s blaming @JustinTrudeau for high grocery costs. I explained to her it was corporate greed using the pandemic as an excuse. She got that but still insisted that the feds could do something. What can they do in a free market? This is so many Canadians

Jon Stewart can't believe there are pundits who think the Dems went too "woke." All they did was copy Republicans!

@BuckeyeBat Technically true, but misleading. #3 Texas isn’t in front of SEC conference standings with the other 1L teams only because they’ve played one fewer conference game so far.

The #1 team in the SEC standings is ranked behind Indiana in the polls. In football. B1G. It just means more.

I feel so bad for the students this year that the only night game OSU had this year was vs Western Michigan. Thats just taking a complete dump on the stadium, the school and the fanbase.

@robyndoolittle Until seeing the CRA graphic, I presumed this tweet was about the US. How do “millennials pay higher taxes for boomers’ retirements” when taxes in Canada are lower than they were in decades past? Click on it & sure enough it’s really reaching with how it arrives at predetermined

The typical 35-year-old now pays approximately 20-40% more for boomers’ healthy retirements than boomers paid as young people to support the smaller number of seniors in their day. theglobeandmail.com/investing/pers…

@acoyne I can’t keep track of which talking head said what during the WE scandal-of-the-day, but wasn’t his resignation when all y’all were basically calling for Morneau’s political head? Plus the PM’s?

@Aho2ToMan @prairiecentrist Very much so. We haven’t seen a losing PM stick it out until the next election since John Turner, and ‘88 didn’t go so well for him. Setting someone like Freeland at the helm of a sinking ship would hurt her chances of winning an election later. Like it did Kim Campbell.

@cturnbull1968 @GOP I'd also be very curious to see how the overall population stacks up between red and blue.

You need to be reminded that blue parts of that map generate 73% of our entire economy. 🤔
