@TheThe1776 Well, not exactly true that I don't get it. Modern Conservative economic principles are great for the millionares/billionares, who have a lot of money to spend on lying to the rest of us that they're doing it completely benevolently.

@TheThe1776 So apart from anything else, the weirdest thing is the idea that Trump's concepts of plans for the economy will be better than Kamela's.which is not supported by history OR by analysis from actual economists... Never got how the idea that R=good economy survives.

This concern mother has three tickets to the Taylor Swift concert in Toronto on November 15th. It was a special gift for her daughter who turns 13 that day. Her daughter has been a Taylor Swift fan forever, but because of Taylor’s endorsement of Kamala, she now has those tickets up for sale. Listen to her message to @taylorswift13

@alexbozikovic Kinda like preserving animals in glass cabinets in a museum instead of in nature and calling it "conservation".

@alexbozikovic Architectural taxidermy once again; looks kinda like the thing it used to be, but it's just the skin stuffed with sawdust and wire, with no life or spirit.

Bad news. One of the best 19c buildings in Toronto - 149 College, by Old City Hall architect E.J. Lennox, 1894 - is now a potential development site.  This means this structure could be reduced to a facade.

This album. Still has the power. 22 years later. How wasn’t this globally gargantuan? It was with me. Giving it a spin tonight as the sun starts to set in Rome. open.spotify.com/album/1dwb6vFO…

@cnevett @HawksleyWorkman It was, and it was awesome. I keep hoping that someone would have recorded it and posted, but so far no luck. Maybe @HawksleyWorkman will release the concert as a live album?

@HawksleyWorkman I thought that was the Dr Who theme when it happened, but wasn't 100%...

I love this review.

@HawksleyWorkman @TheDanforthMH @masstolight @mr_tout_seul @ddbrady4 Incredible show! Favourite parts: appropriately smoking hot version of Smoke Baby, the recorder solo, the Doctor Who insert courtesy of Mr. Lonely, and everything else I didn't mention here.

Toronto! thanks for packing out @TheDanforthMH last night. such a great feeling of warmth and love in the room, we had a wild and raucous time! an extra big thank you to the band and crew and the incomparable Murray Lightburn.

@ThinkingSlow1 @jensstoltenberg So Ukrane developed a plan to make holes that would release some water but decided against it, then when the whole thing is blown up in a way that's impossible with that method at a time when it's strategically bad for them you think it's proof they did it?

@jensstoltenberg This was part of the 🇺🇦 plan (see below) as was carried out by HIMARs weapons the West provided - you own this.

The destruction of the Kakhovka dam today puts thousands of civilians at risk and causes severe environmental damage. This is an outrageous act, which demonstrates once again the brutality of #Russia’s war in #Ukraine.

I just want to share some important context here which is that there are people in New York City who actually make $36,000 a year

@JaquesRigaut @splcenter @GreatDismal "roll them up"?? What does that mean? And yes, I'm sure that trans folk are overjoyed that you were "ok" with them existing. Very happy indeed that you allowed it.

LGBTQ advocates are becoming increasingly alarmed as municipalities, and school districts across the country take measures prohibiting displays of the rainbow Pride flag on public property and in classrooms. bit.ly/3Ystmsg

To be fair, yes, I am hopelessly addicted to not being ill. And not infecting vulnerable people is a rush I just can't kick.

@PhillipsPOBrien Rope a dope, as described by the famous military strategist Muhammad Ali

Interesting that Zelensky would say that, the precedents are obvious. Allow the other side to exhaust itself trying to take a well defended objective, while using the time gained to prepare forces to counter. Stalingrad, Bastogne.

I mean... Here's hoping. Generally speaking, if liberal politicians really were what conservative fearmongers tell us they are, we'd be in a much better position.

While police get free rein to over a billion public dollars to spend as they see fit — including $337,000 on a podcast — unhoused people are left to freeze and social programs to starve. Toronto needs to re-evaluate its priorities and its budget, stat. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

@ArchivesOntario Asking the real questions here...

Of the 500 Toronto households polled in 1970, only 13% regularly ate or served pizza at home! Find the full breakdown below. How do you compare? 1970 survey says: 🍕🍕 13% regularly ate pizza 🍕 47% occasionally ate pizza 🙈🍕 40% seldom or never ate pizza

On behalf of 95% of Canadians, I'd like to apologize for Jordan Peterson. He must have been raised by the geese. Sorry. Peterson will lose his license. The Ontario College of Psychologists doesn't care about politics. He's a grifter who routinely violates their code of conduct.
