Absolutely wild that Sebastien Ogier is a strong contender for #WRCLive champion this year, despite not even having driven in 3 of the rallies so far this year...

How about "trying literally anything to reform your country so it's not a totalitarian, ultraviolent clusterfuck nightmare"? Has anyone suggested that?

We had a Ukrainian mom & daughter live with us for 6 months after the war had been going on for a bit. When her dad finally came to Canada, I drove them to Ottawa to meet him. I hadn't stopped the car before she jumped out to jump him. I think about that a lot. What a moment.

This feels like a pretty perfect time to start paying attention to the @BlueJays for the first time since 1994, yeah? #MLB #ALDS

Dear @promarksticks - I sort of expect the nylon tips to be a little more durable on your otherwise excellent (and correspondingly expensive) 747 attack sticks so that I don't lose tops pretty much every show.

Thanks.

@JVMonte2 2003, Toronto, 'SARSstock' - AC/DC was *WAYYY* better than the Stones.

@cansubvet Thanks!

Career update - in a couple of weeks I'll be leaving my general practice firm and taking a full-time Duty Counsel job with Legal Aid Ontario. It'll be a busy few months getting my feet under me, but I'm very much looking forward to it! #LawTwitter

[Ryan Paulsen @PRyanPaulsen]

@SCCChiefJustice @LegalAidOntario @douglasdowney @ONAttorneyGen I wonder why people don't like Twitter as much anymore... 🤔

My kingdom for a set of kitchen tongs built well enough that this stupid rivet thing lasts longer than just a few months...

@Roach22pr @JesseBlake The outcome was nastier in terms of visuals and blood, etc. Boiled down, they're the same hit - direct head contact, obvious targeting, etc. Reaves didn't leave his feet.

You're honestly telling me one was five games and the other was *clean*? Come on.

So, we’ll ask again, if Trump’s support in 2024 is ALL about economic anxiety, why doesn’t his support amongst Black voters - the MOST economically disadvantaged group - look more like everyone else???

[Ryan Paulsen @PRyanPaulsen]

People keep telling me that the right way forward is to actually converse with those obsessed with Trudeau and full of directionless, confused, ignorant rage, but it always ends the same - they can't back up anything they say, and they just get angrier and stupider. Wild.

[Ryan Paulsen @PRyanPaulsen]

@johnnydigs @GenXCanada @ElizabethG10410 @RosieRocks29 @acoyne People keep telling me that the way forward is to actually discuss the issues with people like you, but no matter what I try to do, it always ends the same.

I hope you don't have children.

[Ryan Paulsen @PRyanPaulsen]

@joncoopertweets Because all they are/have is anger. There is nothing else. It's just directionless rage all the way down.

[Ryan Paulsen @PRyanPaulsen]

@johnnydigs A) How do you know I can't?
B) How do *you* define woman?
C) Why can't you stick to the point?

[Ryan Paulsen @PRyanPaulsen]

"I can't believe people base their decisions to associate with me or not on whether we have any common beliefs or values! All I did was vote for an objectively terrible rapist, cheat, extortionist and probable pedophile! I didn't do this when they voted for a regular politician!"

[The Disrespected Trucker @DisrespectedThe]

The media has successfully divided families. Shame on all of you. This woman voted for Trump, and her family won't even talk to her. How are we here?

[Ryan Paulsen @PRyanPaulsen]

@johnnydigs @GenXCanada @ElizabethG10410 @RosieRocks29 @acoyne Do you actually have the decision where they say anything remotely like "they have a really strong case here, and a law was probably broken, but it doesn't matter", like you claim they did? I've explained why courts rule things moot - back up your claims if you can.

[Ryan Paulsen @PRyanPaulsen]

@johnnydigs Funny how you guys are always the first to boil down an actual discussion to something like "low IQ!", and it's almost always after being asked to actually support your points with, you know, evidence of any kind. Strange.

[Ryan Paulsen @PRyanPaulsen]

@johnnydigs @GenXCanada @ElizabethG10410 @RosieRocks29 @acoyne A court ruling something moot almost never involves an actual discussion of the merits (or lack thereof) of any individual question. Saying the point is moot is specifically why the court is *NOT* making a judgment on the topic. Show me the decision if they did otherwise, though.
