saw someone say that The Hobbit is too difficult a book for teenagers, and I really think part of the problem is adults with such low expectations that they think kids can’t handle a book famously written for children.
A new study from the London School of Economics says 50 years of tax cuts in the U.S. — which promised to “trickle down” and eventually boost jobs and income for everyone — have only helped one group: the rich.

Thousands of Ontario residents came together to send a message to @fordnation and @PrabSarkaria that bike lanes save lives, solve congestion and transport goods.
Americans, Finland welcomes you!
We have everything America has minus the common stupidity.
And we know how to protect our citizens.
Don't be afraid of russia behind our border, we have always managed to handle them. 😉
Brutal decision - without any proper consultation. Won't speed up traffic but rather make roads slower & more dangerous for cyclists and motorists. Also great cities like Paris and London are installing more bike lanes and are better than ever while Toronto goes backwards.
I'm a multi-millionaire, yet my family will soon get $800 from the #Ontario Conservatives.
My health clinic has 33% of the doctors it is supposed to have. It can take months to get a routine appointment & we wait over a year to see a specialist.
Ford is incompetent.😒

I love twitter bc where else can I, an person with two graduate degrees from Harvard in both infectious disease epidemiology and biostatistics, be assured I am wrong about infectious disease epi and statistics by a software engineer who has “read multiple FDA package inserts”
Hey, @fordnation:
My household pays your government a ridiculous amount of $ each year in tax.
What I expect for that is a robust health care system, strong social services & great schools.
A $200 payment cannot undo the damage you've done to core services.😒

Trump is currently telling incoherent unfunny jokes at the Al Smith Dinner and then asking why no one is laughing at them. He can’t even read jokes off a page without getting confused and screwing it up. This might be his most senile performance yet. If this keeps up they’re going to have to cancel the rest of his public appearances. He’s now costing himself votes every time he speaks.
Trump has now canceled public appearances with CNBC, CBS, NBC, and with the NRA. Tonight’s dinner was the last big thing he hadn’t blown off. And now he’s playing comatose comedian to a dead room.
How much longer are Trump’s people going to keep up this weekend at Bernie’s routine? Nineteen days left in the election, and Trump is coming off like someone who croaked nineteen days ago. It’ll only get worse.

To put the bike lane debate in Toronto in perspective, more people commute by bike each day in Toronto than the entire population that lives in Barrie, Ontario. Or Kingston. Or Guelph. Or Sudbury.
It's pretty rich that the Province wants to tell us how to get around our own city. If they don't like sitting in traffic when they get here, they should go fix regional transit. That is their mess - and the true culprit for congestion in the city.
Anyone who understands physics knows that cyclists are part of the solution.
The previous Conservative Government sold the 407 for $3.1 Billion dollars. It's worth about $30Billion now. Doug Ford thinks it makes sense to spend $100B building an underground 401?
Buying 407 back coats 1/3 of this amount.
Just how dumb is he with money?

Sounds like Poilievre’s non confidence motion was a real dazzler today. Is he gonna resign now? Because he turned the table on himself. It’s time for Poilievre to go. It’s clear that no other parties have confidence in him.
Retweet the shit out of because I just watched my retweet disappear before my eyes. Twice. They’re intentionally slowing the messaging down on all negative tweets about Poilievre. I noticed it yesterday too.
Hello, @PierrePoilievre and friends.
When you "axe the tax," all of the Canadian trade deals that are pending a carbon program become null and void.
Can you detail your plan to address the huge number of contracts you will be in breach of? Thanks.

Some misinformation in today's US presidential debate about who bears the cost of tariffs. So let's talk about how tariffs affect what you pay for a suit. 🧵
24 years ago, Yasser Arafat walked away from a deal that would have handed him Gaza, the West Bank and all of East Jerusalem on a silver platter.
He walked away and began the Second Intifada.
Enough talk about a two state solution. They don't want it. Never did.
Are YOU one of the GROWING LEGION of Canadians, who has serious concerns about this daffy weirdo turning OUR CANADA into a TOTALITARIAN STATE, to serve him and his weird cult?
Should Pierre Poilievre STEP DOWN?
