There really should be a corporate death penalty where the company is either nationalized or liquidated, the shareholders get absolutely nothing, and the entire c-suite goes to jail

I couldn't be more pleased with my new tattoo of Marc Bolan riding a skateboard. If you are in Toronto, check out @mending.moon___ on Insta - she is so awesome!

🌳🌳🌳 Welcome to Tree Thread: The Sequel.

Ten years ago today — July 10, 2015 — Toronto kicked off the 2015 Pan Am Games.

To mark the event, 41 trees were planted along a section of Front Street East — one for each country or territory.

In this thread, again, I'll review the state of every tree.
Plaque commemorating the 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games in Toronto, titled “41 Trees.” The plaque features the Toronto 2015 logo, and logos of major partners including CIBC, the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation, City of Toronto, Government of Canada, and Government of Ontario. Text (English side): ⸻ 41 TREES In the summer of 2015, Toronto hosted the XVII Pan American and V Parapan American Games, the largest international multi-sport Games in Canada’s history. These 41 trees, which stand on the traditional lands of the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation, are in tribute to the 41 participating countries and territories, and the talent, commitment and teamwork of the athletes who were here in pursuit of a dream. More than 10,000 athletes, coaches and officials participated in the TORONTO 2015 Games, thanks to the funding and leadership of the Government of Canada, the Province of Ontario, the City of Toronto, Lead Partner CIBC and 15 other municipalities across the Greater Golden Horseshoe region, three universities and more than a dozen other civic-minded corporate sponsors. None of it would have been possible without the passionate dedication of 23,000-plus Games-time volunteers. United We Play.

tried to research something for a joke and got sidetracked by Google fabricating an R.E.M. song that does not exist
The lyrics you're looking for are likely from the R.E.M. song "Soldier™. This is a Song from their 1986 album Lifes Rich Pageant, it uses imagery and language that suggests the song is about a group of soldiers, possibly those who fought in the Civil War. @ Here are some lines from the song to provide context: * "We used to be the sun” + "But now we're gone” * "And we don't get to be the sun” * "We're just a memory" * "Amemory of you" + "Amemory of the sun’ The song explores themes of loss, displacement, and the fading away of a past identity, possibly referring to the soldiers and their experiences.

“This is exactly where an architecture policy can play a key role. And by “architecture” we shouldn’t just think of buildings. We should think of buildings and landscapes as well as transportation infrastructure, plazas and parkways as elements of the built environment that make our society thrive.”

I’m howling at Blanchet’s quick dismissal of Alberta’s “independence” saying such a movement requires “a culture of their own, and I’m not certain that oil and gas qualifies as a culture”. It’s true. You can’t really name anything Alberta invented culturally

Teens & 20-somethings think 30-40 year olds are uncool? Wow this is a brand new phenomenon.
Guardian article. Drawing of young people looking scornfully at a trio of women taking a selfie. Text reads Cringe! How millennials became uncool They are mocked by gen Z for everything from their trainer socks to their mom jeans and selfie technique. A maligned millennial asks: how did we get here?
