Be a friend we're all in this together!
One way or another we will beat this, as long as we can stay respectful and united together.
If we give in to the chaos of this circus, it will be extraordinarily hard to stop the change.
Support each other and endure.

One constant in this graphic of the top Google searches in 2025 stands out: INFLATION! Americans know from their lived experiences that the cost of everything is too high! This is Trump/GOP’s terrible economy & affordability crisis! Millions are about to lose their health care due to Trump/GOP!

Here's another new locomotive for the collection! 🤩🧡🤍 I was very happy to see one of these! 😍
BNSF #9268 is a locomotive built in 2008 by EMD. It is capable of running up to 70 MPH and it produces 4,300 horsepower. 💪

I'm all for solving the housing crisis with building the missing middle, but I don't think you're doing it right 😂
Zaandam is a charming town located just 12 minutes by train from Amsterdam Netherlands 🇳🇱 #Travel #MondayMotivation

Probably a good reminder today. Not that any of my followers need it. Y'all battle hardened winter warriors 😁
I just watched somebody fall up a flight of stairs. A reminder that water hides the ice. Be sure of your footing before you lift the second one. #Ottawa

Good morning. Nobody in #Ottawa without power. Total people without power in #Ontario only rose 10K overnight.
Now till evening is 100km/h wind gusts down by lake Ontario. Ottawa is 70km/h gusts, 20-30km/h sustained.
Then we are out of this storm. Keep stuff charged ♥️

Outages have jumped from about 5K to 37k, but that's still acceptable numbers. Longest in the ice currently showing the most outages, but it's not uniform, so that's a good sign.
It's our turn in 30 minutes. Let's see how the dice rolls.

Core impact closer to 9:30 now, but everything's on track. The ice here in Belleville is meaningful but nothing scary. It should be double strength in Ottawa.

Not terrible. 4k but that's just on the initial hit.
Real damage is going to be cumulative going into tomorrow.
Will check in on the numbers, as the evening unfolds.

Just a reminder. Currently all things are holding. I'll keep tabs and update as the final timeline approaches.
If anything's going to happen, it will be on the initial wins front, or after all the ice weighs down and breaks things - overnight.

Maglev is amazing tech. Also makes for great BSG vibe flashbacks.
#ALTO needs to rethink itself. I'm glad we're not going with experimental tech because we would bungle it - but I think we can do 1980s 😂

I generally avoid posting us politics, because nobody needs another reminder of the atrocities currently south of the border.
But as a defense contractor and student of warfare, let me illustrate another pulled out of Trumps arse idea - Trump-class battleships.
