I goddamn LOVE that the transit-oriented mayor chose to be inaugurated in New York’s most beautiful subway station.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.

When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.

This is outrageous.

Woke mean being cognizant of and awake to danger. That’s what journalism is. If you are anti woke you are fake news.

White men are 30% of the population.

They are also:

- 98% of presidents
- 90% of CEOs
- 90% of billionaires
- 80% of Congress

Forever oppressed.

I clearly picked a good time to move from the Yukon!
Europe up to this point has been experiencing once of its mildest Decembers on record.

In contrast to North America parts of NW Canada are experiencing a historically cold December….

This morning Braeburn, Yukon fell to 🥶🌡️-55.2°C (-67F) the lowest Canadian temperatures since 1999.

Streisand Effect ftw!
The funny part? More people will watch it now due to the controversy than would have watched it during a normal airing. 😂 Whoopsi, was it supposed to be secret? Oops, we didn't know that 😂

Chris Rea was one of my favourite “under the radar” artists. He did a few songs that land on my all-time list and I’m sorry to hear he’s gone #RIP

Alpha Andrew Tate getting knocked out cold by an opponent wearing pink boxing gloves is an end of year stocking stuffer I didn't expect. Thank you Santa!🎅

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

I find the whole notion of Justin Trudeau dating Katy Perry too twee for words but I’ll admit I’m greatly amused to hear that it seems to be pissing off Russell Brand 😆
