Eight children murdered — ages 1 to 14.
This is a moral failure. It’s preventable.
How many more kids have to be killed before the @NRA stops paying off politicians?

@Real_Ames Yes I did in the 80s in Massachusetts. Rh factor checked and they also checked for syphilis. Not kidding.

Dental plan, disability benefit increase, $10 a day childcare, pharmacare, more tax benefits, more taxes back, easier and free tax filings, 10 cents less on gas today, no industrial carbon tax, national food program, food rebates, etc.
Those are just a few things Canadians got under a liberal government.

Name (1) thing that is better in your life since Mark Carney became Prime Minister? Just one thing?

woman who noticed her dog making interesting movements every time she turned her back recorded those moments to understand the situation. It was striking that as soon as the woman turned her back, the dog repeated the same movements, this time right in front of the camera. What could this mean ?

@TheJFreakinC I’ve been “detained” at the Canadian border before while they interrogated me and tore apart my car. It can happen to anyone.

@bobjrfarm1 @r0ck3t23 Big factor to decline: The Common Core.
When ALL students were expected to master the same curriculum. When we stopped recognizing business courses and life skills courses as adequate.

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption.
That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time.
Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.”
The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs.
That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone.
But the education system still runs on its logic.
A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait.
Neither is being served. Both are being processed.
Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.”
AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student.
One at a time. Every time.
It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle.
It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done.
A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture.
The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does.
No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill.
Because the math doesn’t work.
AI doesn’t have that constraint.
Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.”
The brain isn’t broken. The format is.
Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes.
That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem.
Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.”
Four years. Six figures of debt.
And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you.
The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance.
Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.”
The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you.
Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace.
The question isn’t whether the old model survives.
It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.

@TBlountNews Yup. He’s been doing the same to republicans for all those years too. Kinda sucks doesn’t it?
English

Eric Swalwell has been in the public eye for 13 years. No one said a thing until he became the frontrunner for governor over two Republican candidates. This smells to high heaven.
Dave Ryder 🌊💙🌎❄🏳️🌈@daveryder
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY has fought harder against Trump and the GOP than this guy. Let's reserve judgement until this plays out through the legal system. I'm 100% SKEPTICAL of anything Roger Stone is involved with, especially 4 weeks before an election. This smells rotten.

Is “you make a better door than a window” an insult…or just telling someone to move?
@CharlesHurt and @GriffJenkins say it’s calling someone fat. I say no. Who’s right? 🤣🤗👇

@AngelMD1103 Last I knew, servers were paid full minimum wage u like servers in the USA.
English

A server in Toronto just went viral after sharing a story that has the internet split.
A group of diners asked to sit in her section; knowing they were “high maintenance.” Multiple orders, constant refills, special requests… the full experience. She handled it all, no issues, no complaints.
Bill comes out to $158.
They leave $160.
Then, tell her to keep the $1.30.
After everything.
She says the whole restaurant heard it… and honestly, it wasn’t even about the money anymore; it was the principle.
But here’s where it gets messy
Some people are dragging the customers, calling it disrespectful and embarrassing. Others are saying: “Why is tipping even expected if servers are already paid?”
So now the real debate isn’t about that table; it’s about the entire tipping culture.
Is this just bad manners… or proof that the system itself is broken?
