After 150 years of boring wooden Galton boards, I finally fixed it!
Now with lasers, bazookas, bombs, pinball bumpers, and extremely serious sci-fi hamsters.

In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

He bought himself a plane while we are losing education and healthcare every day. We aren't angry enough. I am so freaking sick of this shit. 💩🤬

The world needs more Canada
I will always find it confusing that some people think a person riding a $2000 bike to commute is a privileged elitist but the guy in the $80k truck that costs $150 to fill is the working class average joe.
@AndrewScheer If you have a degree from a fancy University, but believe: Money printing doesn’t cause inflation; Net-zero policies create prosperity ; Governments can pick winners and losers better than free markets; Then you have been badly educated. Remember, lots of world leaders with impressive degrees have inflicted great harm on their countries. Carney’s diplomas can’t cover up the fact he had a terrible tenure at the Bank of England. Or that he is giving Canada the worst economy in the G7.
He's doubling down.
Incredible.
The Dunning-Kruger effect is just blinding.
The US isn’t happy about Canada’s quest for digital sovereignty
The new Shared Services Canada proposal for government providers will mean that US big tech won't be eligible for contracts.
It is a trend many countries are starting to follow. France being the most recent one to do the same 🇨🇦 🇪🇺

Danielle Martin is an extraordinary new MP. It's so great to live in a country where highly qualified individuals who do not need to run for offce for any personal gain, run and succeed. It lifts us all up.
We can do even better and we will
Magyar has spent recent months being very cagey about his views on Ukraine.
This is a really fantastic sign. kyivindependent.com/asking-ukrai...
Great to have @davidwcochrane.bsky.social back on Power & Politics. Missed the humor, the wit and shrewdness he brings as a host to political debate.
Today, Europe is Hungarian.
We are stronger. More united.
To the people of Hungary - you've done it again.
You have spoken.
You have chosen Europe.
It's a victory for fundamental freedoms.
I'm sure we could get a fundraiser going to send JD Vance all around the world campaigning for candidates he likes
If you're worried your poster or talk is too simple, remove one or two more figures and you'll be alright.
Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated Péter Magyar and the TISZA party on their convincing victory.
“We are open to meetings and joint constructive work for the benefit of both nations, as well as for peace, security, and stability in Europe,” he said.
for sure, congratulations to magyar. but the real heroes imo are those in civil society & journalism & rank-and-file opposition & academia who have fought against the disintegration of rule of law, the weaponization of the courts/media, & so much more for so long. 🇭🇺
All honor to the Hungarian people for showing the way.
JD Vance should be keynote speaker at all upcoming AfD and Reform UK events.
Orban, Bolsonaro, Trump, and all the rest of these goons want you to believe they are inevitable and, once in power, invincible. They are not.
🇭🇺!!!!
Oh my god it's really happening. This is beautiful.
