Watching the 🇨🇦🇺🇸 #GoldMedal game from the ER was not on my bingo card. But knowing I would leave owing only $20 for parking, while millions of Americans go bankrupt from medical debt, was a good reminder that we still win where it actually matters. #CANvsUSA
The current kakistocracy of ultracrepidarian snollygosters incites the cacoethes in many grumbletonians, to be sure. historyhustle.com/20-awesome-h...

The #Greenland talk, like the 51st state nonsense, is just Trump “Art of the Deal” negotiation theatre. Outrageous ask, relentless pressure, and drive the other side to concede something smaller just to end the spectacle. #uspoli

Time-saving 🎃 idea: Dress up as a Jays pitcher, stand on the porch, and just pitch candy at approaching children.

Punctuation changes everything.
Whatever your opinion on Israel-Palestine: if you can't differentiate between the Palestinian people and Hamas, or between Jewish people and the state of Israel, you have no business feigning understanding of the conflict, nor of anyone's foreign policy on recognizing Palestine.
Listen—I've been using em dashes and en dashes – correctly – for a long time. Just because ChatGPT just figured it out, doesn't mean everything you receive that uses one is AI generated. Don't punish me for knowing my option keys—lest I have to become a double-dash person. #grammar
No surprises here—he wrote a book about how he negotiates. His "art of the deal" can be summarized as: start with unreasonable demands, throw a tantrum to wear them down, then feign making a concession to what you actually wanted. Like children do. #uspoli #cdnpoli www.wsj.com/world/americ...
If you’re having a bad day, just remember that Poilievre has to watch the speech from the throne from the gallery. #SpeechFromTheThrone
The problem is the Leafs aren’t a hockey team. They’re a group of individually talented hockey players all wearing the same jersey.

Ok… I’m an Oilers bandwagon fan now. Need a Canadian team to win.
Happily retracted.
NGL I’ll probably be a bandwagon Oilers fan by 11pm tonight. #LeafsForever (except past round 2). @edmontonoilers.bsky.social
The irony is that the #StanleyCup lives a block north of where the team with the longest cup drought plays. The Leafs will probably have to heist it before they hoist it. #LeafsForever (for some reason).
As someone with a disability, days like this mean an increase to the already daily reminders of how inaccessible some things still are. Particularly disheartening as a programmer, though, seeing this statistic barely change, knowing just how easy it is to make things accessible. #gaad #a11y
Yes. If it is known that there is no chance (however unfair) that a preferred candidate will be elected, why would anyone knowingly make the choice that will certainly elect the candidate furthest from their political ideology?
Electoral reform is hindered by many things—including the constitution.
Being upset with the self-righteous 6% of people who, knowingly in most cases, caused the election of several MPs who espouse the antithesis of the belief systems of more than 50% - including themselves - is a completely reasonable response.
Ahh forming an argument based on assumptions without context. What is this, Twitter?
What’s my team?

Not what I said. Weird conclusion. JT made a promise he couldn’t keep, not one he didn’t want to keep. You can blame the British for inventing the Westminster parliamentary system if want. The issue isn’t why the system is broken, it’s idealists who can’t accept that it is.
Our electoral system is broken, and yes I know it’s not the fault of NDP voters. But, if you know your car is broken, and you know it’s going to break down on you, do you drive it into a bad storm with your family inside? Or do you get a loaner until it’s fixed? #cdnpoli @fairvote.ca
I bet the NDP elected more Conservatives than NDP. #cdnpoli
Thank you, NDP, for electing so many Conservatives. Great job! 😑 #cdnpoli
I think so much better of Poilievre for conceding. I wasn't sure he would. Our democracy is strengthened by that.
The one thing the NDP did excel at this election was electing Conservatives. #cdnpoli
