Progressive. Never Conservative. Science, climate change, wealth inequality. Woke.
Proud Canadian born in Yellowknife now happily vaxxed in Toronto. Need more nice.

Like science esp. astronomy, news, reading everything but mostly SFF, horror, mystery.

This Fraser Minten kid has 3 points tonight. Wonder if we can pry him out of Boston. Maybe Minten and a 2nd for OEL. The type of player Brad should be targeting for this soft retool

Open letter to our Senators:

Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow.

We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.

Tesla killed their flagship car last night, and their stock is down less than 3% as a result. TSLA is the world's biggest, longest pump-and-dump, and the suckers that still own stock need to be given a new mirage to replace "full self-driving." Robots it is!

Please boycott this nonsense, they want our money and profits, but don't want to hire humans or pay a fair living wage. Only profits, I don't understand how they don't see they won't have any customers if they don't have jobs 😏🤦🏾

I'm a few minutes behind the live call, but here's my Q4 Tesla earnings call "live thread"!

We start out with Elon announcing that Tesla's mission has changed to "Amazing Abundance," which represents a pivot from the "Sustainable Abundance" tagline he announced last year.

This disproportionately puts the tax burden onto local taxpayers, already strained and in need of tax revenue, which could go to health, education, social programs, and infrastructure."

Dahlin hatty! 🎩🎩🎩

The 7-4 score is definitely deceptive. The Sabres absolutely put belt to ass against the Leafs for nearly the whole game and could have easily hung 10+ on them tonight.
