I’m no economist but the likeliest explanation for high food prices has always been rich guys raising the prices and using guys like Milhouse down here to confuse you about it

Loblaws reported an 18% increase in quarterly profits, reaching $594 million in 12 weeks, and also increased dividends for shareholders by 10%. Yet, some blame the Liberals for high grocery prices.

Our food is growing less nutritious. Many of humanity’s most important crops — including wheat, potatoes, beans — contain fewer vitamins and minerals than they did a generation ago.

The culprit behind this damaging phenomenon? Carbon dioxide pollution. https://t.co/NPJ93aLSXG

This is close to what the Toronto Police Service “lost” in 2025, if we’ve decided to frame public services as such.

Vancouver should become the next home of a Major League Baseball team.

With the MLB publicly expressing interest in expansion in the near future, we see an opportunity to position our city as the next home for a franchise.

This could be an opportunity to bring something truly special to Vancouver. An MLB team would be a significant step forward for our city and would create lasting memories for fans across generations.

“Pierre Poilievre was Housing Minister in Stephen Harper’s Conservative government, which allowed 800,000 affordable rental units to be sold off to corporate landlords and developers. Under Harper, the average home price in Canada went up 70%, and Poilievre refused to do anything about it.”

Fuck cancer ❤️

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

A single dose of a new cancer drug made a brain tumor almost disappear – in just five days.

Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital reported “dramatic and rapid” tumor regression in the first patients treated with a next-generation form of CAR T-cell therapy for glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive brain cancers known.

The therapy, called CARv3-TEAM-E, was developed to overcome a major hurdle in treating solid tumors: their ability to hide from the immune system.

The personalized treatment reprograms a patient’s immune cells to attack the tumor, and in one extraordinary case, nearly eliminated the cancer within just five days. This novel therapy is designed to target multiple features of the tumor at once, a strategy that may help overcome the common challenge of treatment resistance in solid tumors like glioblastoma.

Although the tumors eventually returned, the early outcomes were described as unprecedented. One patient saw a 60% reduction in tumor size that lasted for half a year—an impressive result in a cancer known for its aggressiveness.

The trial’s success marks a major step forward for immunotherapy in brain cancer and raises new hopes for long-term control or even a cure. Researchers are now working to refine the treatment and extend its effects, with the ultimate goal of turning a once-terminal diagnosis into a survivable condition.

Ms. Rachel, a YouTuber who creates educational content for toddlers and infants, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani sang to a classroom of children at a pre-K center in Lower Manhattan on Friday morning.

This comes after Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a program that would give New York City parents access to free child care for their 2-year-olds and strengthen the city's existing 3-K program.

I work part-time in a pre-k and if some fuckass guys came to our doors saying, "we're not associated with anyone, show us children," we would absolutely go into lockdown and probably assume they were there to shoot us up. how are you this weird and insane and stupid.

Historic: Zohran Mamdani became the first NYC mayor to take his oath of office where the Ninja Turtles live. Millennials have officially taken power.

Around here, laws aren’t carved in stone…

They are scribbled on a chalk board at the pleasure of her Majesty, and imposed on her minions in measure of her magnificence.

Are there 250 of you in your neighbourhood with an extra $100?

That’s the new price of admission to democracy in Alberta.

In economic terms, that’s 5,000% inflation.

It’s worse than her thinking she’s Queen.

She thinks she’s TicketMaster.

[Barney Panofsky's Best Intentions @mynamesnotgordy]

You’ve lost several employees. Is that a problem with your leadership?

No, it’s the fault of other employers being more attractive to work with. Other workplaces are cheating by offering better places to work.
