@Coreandor @Rantaramic If you think Trump, who does not attend church, has been found civilly liable for rape, gleefully despises those Jesus would have most cared about, and who has I don't know how many kids by how many different wives, is the most Christian US Pres, then I have a bridge to sell you

@DrJillStein That's what you're taking from this?

Jill you're attacking the wrong person.

@nickwiger @getplayedpod Was listening to the latest ep where your BG3 recommendation was mentioned.

Wanted to say thanks; that got me to try it. Been a gamer my whole life but stopped for years and couldn't get back into it. Something clicked w/ BG3 and I’ve got my hobby back!

[Tom Henheffer🏳️‍🌈 @Henheffer]

@SoraurenPark Hey! Will you guys announce if the movie is cancelled tonight due to rain? Just wondering if it's happening!

Thanks!

@CourtTribunal Hi! I'd be honoured but I no longer work as a journalist

#21 Tom Henheffer — From journalism to saving the planet

@Henheffer's work focuses on long-term strategic visioning and implementation, executive management, board management, team building, stakeholder relations, storytelling in digital media, and government relations. He is a proud human rights advocate, an experienced consultant, and formerly a journalist and entrepreneur.

At @arctic_fnd, Tom develops and implements long-term strategy, oversees hiring, budgeting, communications and the management of relationships with community, government, corporate and university partners; seven research vessels; five renewable-powered Arctic-hardened laboratories; and ARF's ArcticFocus website and Arctic Research Database.

As a Senior Political Consultant, Tom led the federal Green Party's Rapid Response Team in the 2018 federal election and advised Annamie Paul during her successful campaign for GPC leadership. Tom was also Director of News and Digital at VICE Canada, an editor at the Toronto Star, and a reporter at Maclean's Magazine. 

He also worked as the Executive Director of Canadian Journalists for Free Expression, which protects the right to free expression in Canada and worldwide.

Originally from New Brunswick, Tom has consulted on and helped pass crucial legislation in Canada and Ontario. This includes reforming Bill C-51, successfully lobbying for Canada’s first Press Shield Law, and passing Ontario’s anti-SLAPP legislation. He helped fight against a major crackdown on the free press in Croatia, a fight which had a major part in the formation of a new, democratically elected government. Tom has successfully advocated for the release of jailed journalists worldwide and has facilitated the disbursement of dozens of life-saving grants to journalists in distress throughout the globe. 

As a journalist, Tom covered everything from food insecurity, resource extraction, serial killers, and the Toronto International Film Festival. He’s also launched numerous digital and print products, including Canada’s first national Web TV program, Macleans: TV, and the Toronto Star’s Small Business Section and Star Business Club. A former videographer and small business owner, Tom has also designed, patented and licenced innovative products for shooting video with digital SLRs.

Everyone needs to see Nimona. Watch it. It's an excellent, brilliant, powerful film.

@mattlieb @VinceMancini Insane to hear @aliterative on @PodYourselfAGun. Counting the Bugle that's like a triple crossover of my three favorite podcasts.

I kinda would've thought Fraser too classy for you goons!
