Also, I don’t have a Twitter account. There seem to be scammers pretending as me, but there is nothing I can do, just please be careful.

One revenue opportunity I would like to see from this city is a surtax on commercial property that is deliberately left empty. Often shop/restaurant/service vacated because their rent skyrocketed and the owner is now getting a "loss" tax break to leave it empty and our city looks like a ghost town.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

CBC once again called the Ksi Lisims LNG project “Indigenous-led” on the National last night, despite the fact that it’s 100% American-owned by a Texas shell company, Western LNG.
Yikes!!!!!
Anyway, here’s a very funny video that breaks this down: youtu.be/Lt6Hmp9ndkI?...

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

FRANKENSTEIN is on NETFLIX but- still in many theatres- please consult your local listings and choose your watch/rewatch preference!
Where do I even begin? Guillermo del Toro @realgdt.bsky.social has created an absolute masterpiece. I only wish I’d had the chance to experience it on the big screen. The story of Frankenstein has been told countless times, but never like this.
