Americans will look at this shit, then look you dead in the eye and ask why you donโt want to become the 51st state and share your country with these โpeopleโ
A 29-year-old pest control salesman says he bets on sports every day, wagering between $80,000 and $120,000 a year โ as much as or more than his $97,000 salary.
He tells @JimAxelrod he sometimes puts an entire paycheck on his bets. https://t.co/UqHBnA4zHT
The Ed Sheeran drama was already an interesting case study in hypocrisy, as Ed gets mercilessly harassed for supporting Ukraine but not Palestine, while Macklemore (or anyone else, really) gets none of it for doing it the other way around.
But the double standard becomes even more glaring when compared to Ovechkin. Sheeranโs entire touring lineup walked out over an attempt at neutrality. Meanwhile, Ovechkin actively and openly aligns himself with not just people, but a regime currently waging a brutal war of aggression in Ukraine, killing civilians daily, and starving occupied communities like Oleshky by denying food supplies. Yet Ovechkin continues to play professional team sports without his teammates walking out, fans turning away, or facing anything close to proportional backlash. It exposes a deeply broken standard for who society chooses to hold accountable.
The success of Canada's class system is that people unironically believe stuff like this and never wonder why half of the people who run the country went to two high schools in Toronto.
@Graesplaene_ If Canada isnโt European why do our farmers have the worst politics possible and our euthanasia rates would make the neatherlands blush?
People are dragging Nikole Hannah-Jones for this, but I think this piece is incredible. Trying to live your values, discovering itโs not working and having an open conversation with your kid about that is eminently laudable โ Pubbing about it even more so. https://t.co/aMJuKt9QnR

Fate truly is a harsh mistress
@MiriVinni They also donโt mention that she was willing to correct course and let her chose her own school when she was going to high school.
The problem is that the system is set up so that even well off parents struggle when their kids are in a bad environment.
@TheMindScourge Sure but long term an occupation would fail.
What will they do when schools refuse American flags, teachers tell their kids they are Canadian not American, gov workers refuse to issue drivers licenses to Americans, American property is attacked and the cops refuse to intervene?
@CoopTory Privatizing is key to lower the cost of flights and by extension enabling more Canadians visit Europe and culturally europeanize us.
Itโs critical to his agenda not a sideshow
@kilerorigin Americans are dumb enough to try to create a second Mexico on their southern border.
Letโs just start direct flights from Colombia, El Salvador and Guatemala and hand out bus tickets to the US border as soon as they land.
