@georgebell Yeah. If all you do is cut off one venue degenerates can do drugs, they'll find other places where it's tolerated. That's why public drug use should not be tolerated anywhere. Arrest them, force them into treatment, and jail them if necessary.

Looking forward to the first music plagiarism case, where the producer of an AI created song and the maker of the artificial intelligence used, is sued by an artist who wrote a song the old-fashioned way. Or maybe even one AI song producer suing another for plagiarism.

@christoaivalis 1. Government massively intervenes for decades in the market with taxes, laws and regulations. 2. Costs and prices go up. 3. Government pulls back their interventions slightly. 4. After a month, prices don't go down. 5. "Corporate greed!"

Avi Lewis was correct when he said that Carney's gas tax cut would simply be pocketed by the big corporations. Prices went down a for a few days, but shot back up as companies took the tax cut for themselves Carney and his Wall Street buddies are laughing at us

@BladeoftheS You know I can believe two things: 1. These copper-theft-prevention devices are not cost effective based on the cost of theft and repair. 2. LA banned them because having theft prevention devices "unfairly" assumes people are thieves and is racist.

He's charging $300 for this 'device'. The value of the copper in every lampost is less than $50. The cost of these devices alone, never mind fitting them. would cost the same as repairing 250 years worth of copper theft.

In this instance, less than 0.5% of the ball has actually touched zone. It does't seem justifiable to reverse the umpire's call. The ABS system calculates inches & surface data. I think the rules should be adjusted, so that 25% of the ball must be in the zone for a strike.

Why is this a strike?

@TorontoStar The Migrant Rights Network is doing the urging. They should be dismissed out of hand. They want permanent residency for literally anybody from around the world who shows up in Canada and given the whole basket of social services.

@misschristijo Nobody is stopping you from doing a land acknowledgment unless you're a government employee on government time. If you're a Rogers employee, your freedom isn't being squashed if your employer forbids you from promoting Bell's services while you're on the clock.

This lady wants to ban free expression. Land acknowledgments are a practice they aren’t law She is saying she will ban us from doing something that isn’t even being done by law Isn’t that squashing my freedom? Feels like it
Caroline Elliott@NVanCaroline

Land acknowledgements are divisive and undermine BC’s legitimacy. I’ll end them in the public service and in schools. Public employees should act in the interests of British Columbians. Full stop. Join me: WinForBC.ca

@RandallR1975 @BenVerlander I agree with that, of course, and I now believe the ball was foul. I still think it's stupid because the rule treats a ball that touches a base and a ball that is touched by a player differently, even if the center of the ball is exactly the same distance from the foul line.

@caldernet @BenVerlander If a ball hits fair territory first, it could (denying physics) roll foul by 5 feet then veer back and hit the bag and it would in fact be fair. If it's in foul territory and is touched by anyone or anything, it's foul.

@EDUreboot @CalltoActivism This is effectively raising taxes, but on higher income earners, which many might like. A "loophole" in that one was able to avoid some taxes with an accounting maneuver. But it will be another tax hit that will encourage higher earners to flee. chatgpt.com/share/69f2071f…

@CalltoActivism Not that I’m a fan of more taxes but it seems like closing loopholes is better policy than inventing new taxes like a “wealth tax”

🚨HISTORIC: Mayor Mamdani officially calls for the reduction of the Pass-Through Entity Tax loophole from 100% to 75%. MAMDANI: “That change alone would generate nearly ONE BILLION DOLLARS of additional revenue - revenue we can invest in the buses that carry New Yorkers to work, the public schools that educate our children, the public parks and beaches where we spend our summers.” THIS IS WHAT LEADERSHIP LOOKS LIKE! LET’S GO!

@BillsBeast @jkcottrell51 @Ecnerwal23 @Newstart1962 Well, apparently my interpretation was the rule prior to 2018. I have grown as a person, and now believe as you do. This ball should have been foul, but if the ball had continued to roll and brushed the bag at 3rd, it would have been a fair ball .... illogically.

@bigleagues @TheRealMasonV @vill67710 I spent time investigating this and was convinced FAIR was the right call (see my tweets). But apparently, the rule was changed (stupidly) in 2018. Today that ball should have been foul, but had it continue to roll parallel to the line, and brush the bag, voila - FAIR BALL.

@BenVerlander Seems really odd. So the ball should have been foul when touched, but had the ball continued to roll parralel with the line and brushed the bag, abracadabra, it's fair? I dunno.

@ABmrJutt The comments here are wild. Men are literally screaming women are selfish, annoying yada yada. The society will heal if women don’t have kids. Men on the other hand, will not have a caretaker - in form of a partner or a child.

@BillsBeast @jkcottrell51 @Ecnerwal23 @Newstart1962 Bouncing ball over 3rd. Does the center of the ball have to go over the bag for it to be fair, or just a small bit of its side? What if the edge of a ball brushes the bag? Foul? You're saying this ball is in foul territory? Assuming it's not physically touching the line.
