I am a father and high school teacher who plays a plethora of sports. I enjoy science, history, math, philosophy, and well, you get the idea. :)
This does not, however, surprise me one bit.
It’s insane to think that the Trump administration was more welcoming this week to the Tate brothers than to the President of Ukraine.

Wow, this is something now. Who would have predicted this? The world turning on the USA?
One of Norway's largest fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy.

“It made us sick... We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”

For the “we’re living in a dictatorship!!” crowd…

For 20 years, The Economist has ranked countries on several factors and presented them in its “Democracy Index”.

Canada is a “full democracy”; the USA is a “flawed democracy”.

This is incredible. Since when did the USA turn its back on it's allies and side with Russia, North Korea, Hungary et al.? Ohhh wait........ I see what is happening.....

US sides with Russia in UN resolutions on invasion of Ukraine
The UK and France abstain as the UN Security Council passes a text that does not criticise Moscow.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social you would be amazing at doing this. I am a Canadian, and the American people need to hear the truth, and hear a well articulated reply to the dribble coming from the White House! Please.
This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ?

And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions !

We all look forward to reading your thoughts
I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period.

I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt.

But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

I wonder if Canada will follow suit and hold tech companies feet to the fire. Hold social media to a level of ethical and moral standards. Follow a countries laws and where the industries will be a positive influence in society.

But if neo-feudalism is indeed the way of the world today, if billionaire plutocracy is on the rise, it likely means that liberal democracies may be heading increasingly towards authoritarian forms of government.

Musk’s rise is symptomatic of our neo-feudal capitalist times
Trump’s ‘billionaire boys club’ has parallels in other supposedly liberal democracies around the world.

This.....is.....amazing!!!! And soooooooo accurate.
Do you think you're sitting still right now?

- You're on a planet that orbitis a star at 30km/s

- That star is orbiting the center of a galaxy at 230km/s

- That galaxy is moving trough the universe at 600km/s.

Since you started reading this, you have traveled about 3000km.

This clearly shows a lack of understanding by voters in American politics! Wow!
Well would you look at that.

This is amazing. Physics is so amazing and cool. Yet, also a little funny at times!
OK, this must be quantum physics 😳👀

I wonder if Pierre Polilievre understands what is being written here in this article?
Pierre Poilievre is setting himself up to fail
It’s one thing to promise that you’ll axe the tax, fix the budget, build the homes and stop the crime. As Pierre Poilievre is going to find out, it’s quite another to actually do it.
