Does anyone else find it crazy that you can walk into a bookshop and be charged £9.99 for a paperback novel that took the author a year to complete, but £17.99 for a completely blank notebook?

I love how mainstream media reports stuff like, “young people are poor bc of avocado toast,” and not “a tiny network of the super rich have conspired for decades to buy off world governments and set up offshore tax havens to evade taxes, meanwhile wages have stagnated since 1970”

The "Mark Carney wasn’t even elected" crowd are awfuly quiet now that Pierre Poilievre is the unelected Conservative leader 🤣

This is DJT’s tariff calculation. Most grade schoolers have a higher level of sophistication than this. The S&P 500 is down 700 points from recent highs. He’ll eventually reverse these and markets will bounce. It is market manipulation on a scale never before seen but he’s also dismantling the SEC 🤦‍♂️

Hey Ontario, let’s flick the lights on-and-off a few times in New York, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. It works for my son’s grade 2 classroom so it might also work for Trump.

This is a metric called 'Vote Efficiency'. Basically, the number of votes each party has to get in order to win a seat. I'm comparing the Netherlands (they use Open Party List PR) with yesterdays Ontario election result. Red line is optimal votes/seat. The difference is staggering. #onpoli #ontario

The results of this election are depressing to look at. #onpoli #ontario

Don't let Doug Ford tell you he won a 'strong mandate'. He won a majority government with 43% of the popular vote through a form of voter suppression. This country needs electoral reform badly.

This is the ‘failed’ Canadian healthcare US Republicans and Canadian far-right wingnuts like to talk about 🙄 😏

The Loosemore-Hanby index measures proportionality of elections. The last Ontario election was the least proportional in recent history. The Conservative government of Ontario was able to secure a majority government with only 18% of the eligible vote. We need electoral reform NOW.

Dear America. You can’t go decades insisting the world signs nonproliferation agreements, then insist the world use USD as its reserve curency so you can go trillions into debt building your military, then pull the rug on peace keeping. It’s a d1ck move. Supporting Ukraine IS your responsibility.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen.

1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted.
Yet somehow Musk isn't.

That’s why. That’s literally the reason
