This broke me. Dr Khaled Hamouda, Gaza surgeon, in tearful testimony to 'Gaza: Doctors Under Attack,' the film they didn't want you to see.
Full film, that the BBC dropped, from Zeteo: gazadoctors.film

Are we going to have to dust off our "Fire Rick Leary" signs?
And delivered in a pretty happy way—brutal.
Then there's Cobain's "I'm so ugly, that's okay, 'cause so are you / Broke our mirrors"
It's amazing how Canadian pundits know nothing about Doug Ford. "He wants to be Prime Minister!" He might become PM—out of spite or for shits and giggles—but the only thing he's ever truly wanted to be is mayor of Toronto.
It's so great for kids! We took the REM on opening weekend with my brother's family and loved seeing my kid with her cousins staring out the window together.
Canadian white nationalist are on our streets. Stay safe, y’all.
50-ish yr old white guy biking on Danforth was yelling slurs and telling bike couriers to “go back where you came from.” Told him to stop, he yelled at me, then cycled back to me, my partner, and kid and yelled a stream of things I hope my kid doesn’t remember. East York, do we know this guy?

It's time to call the Bong squad

Bought a mini stereo for the family room and our kiddo can pick her fave CDs and it’s been awesome. That sense of control is empowering.
Love to see it 🙌
Trying to conceive of the level of hatred it takes to use Trump’s proposal to complete the ethnic cleansing of Gaza to scold Palestinians and their allies for not enthusiastically endorsing the administration that made it possible.
If you tuned out the genocide, sure.
Well, it's an exciting time to be working for a Southern Ontarian manufacturer.
