Saw this man sitting by himself at a Waffle House in Midway, Florida.

So I said hello and asked him what he was doing with that money.

So a Canadian can leave on a flight but not return?

Not banking or energy, but Eurovision

Yes, the courts, not the administration, will make the final decision on the Afghan frozen assets. But it's the basic principle of the EO that's so deeply troubling: The notion that the US can raid the central bank assets of a country and people on the verge of economic collapse.

As a child of immigrants, you may have been loved fiercely, but you may have also been loved in pieces. And when you are loved in pieces, you are taught that there are parts of you that are unworthy and unloveable. That sticks with you.

I’ve met some members of the gazpacho police. They are consommé professionals.

Imagine if it was held in Canada and they kept talking about the injustices to First Nations. Don’t remember hearing mush about colonialism in London? Certain things should not be political, and the Olympics is one of them. It just comes across as disrespectful and kinda racist.

[Aalia @AaliaAlavi]

China definitely has human rights issues among others, but if you’ve agreed to hold the Olympics there you don’t insert a qualifier and insults into every sentence of the commentary for the #OpeningCeremony @CBC.

AND THERE’S SOMETHING FUCKING WRONG WITH THE BASTARD SYSTEM WHEN IT’S DEEMED NOT OUT OF ORDER TO LIE BUT OUT OF ORDER TO CALL OUT THE FUCKING LIE

Today we complete a whole year of zero polio cases in Pakistan. But environmental samples from a few places highlight the need for a final push. Visited DI Khan to discuss the way forward with Polio teams, local admin and security teams.

[Michael Kugelman @MichaelKugelman]

Earlier this week, Pakistan's first female Supreme Court judge was sworn in. This is a great development, and it's great to see this story getting the international coverage it deserves. https://t.co/8rgCred4Z8

For the first time in history, the tallest mountain on Earth has been ascended.

Though Mount Everest is the highest mountain on Earth above sea level, Maunakea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii actually holds the title of tallest mountain on Earth.

As the great Julia Child once said, a party without cake is just a meeting. Johnson’s staffers supplied a cake. Ergo, It was a party.

It would be interesting to see something similar in Canada. Todays reporting showed 4.8% inflation and the highest in 30 years but basic food items seem to have gone up significantly more than that and let’s not even talk about home prices.

@karonliu I used to smoke, make it a beer and 11pm and honestly it was.

Also no, don't smoke.

@LittleMissLizz @wiseconnector OMG never has an answer been so true

@SethAMandel Fair, I’m leaning 15/16 only because I think that’s the age where the freedom of movement exists but still immature enough to unintentionally make matters worse
