Pendant qu’on applaudit au Centre Vidéotron, ça saute à l’eau dans le Village Nordik du Port de Québec !

Quelque 160 (!!!) ours polaires plongeront aujourd’hui !

Tomorrow is the earliest sunset of the year and we are quickly approaching the shortest gap between sunrise and sunset. The latest sunrise on standard time is January 3rd. January 4th is #perihelion when the Earth makes the closest approach to the Sun. #WeatherWisdom

If you want Hunter Biden—a private citizen who has never worked for the U.S. gov’t—investigated, but don’t want Jared or Ivanka investigated for “earning” $640 million while in the WH and then getting $2 billion from Saudi Arabia, you are a hypocrite conducting a witch hunt.

On the (surprisingly high) chance this is my last tweet before this app goes dark, I just wanted to say to everybody who was *sure* I'd implode my career by simply telling the truth on this app, or tried to get me fired because of something correct I tweeted: Fuck you, I won. :)

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Shout out to all the workers at Twitter. You all built a vital place for connection and deserved so much better.

Millions of people appreciate the space you built and the hard work that went into it. Thank you 💙

Goodbye, #Twitter. It was fun while it lasted. Life is too short to pay attention to the ugly and the stupid. #GodBless

Tired by Langston Hughes

I am so tired of waiting,
Aren’t you,
For the world to become good
And beautiful and kind?
Let us take a knife
And cut the world in two –
And see what worms are eating
At the rind.

Poor Justice Alito. He’s bellyaching about how hard it was on HIM when his draft opinion revoking women’s constitutional privacy rights was leaked, saying how he’s looking forward “to things getting back to normal.” How nice for HIM! THINGS AREN’T GOING BACK TO NORMAL FOR WOMEN!

He also offered some advice on how to break the habit "so you will not have temptation in hand." https://t.co/oHTcEQhcnv

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

Democratic voters in blue states: The GOP thinks you’ll stay home on election night. They think you feel like your abortion rights, your right to marry, your gun control laws are safe.

But they aren’t. They’re coming for it all. Now is the time to stop them. Everywhere. Vote.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Dr. Oz said during his debate tonight that "local political leaders" should be involved in a women's decision to have an abortion.

Wrong. "local political leaders" DO NOT belong anywhere near a woman when she makes the most personal decision of her life.

[Duty To Warn 🔉 @duty2warn]

The Founding Fathers always knew a king-like tyrant would try to rule as a personal dictator and use the powers of the presidency to enhance himself. But they never foresaw an entire political party abdicating oath and responsibility to help it happen, worsen it and escalate it.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Corporate profits only accounted for roughly 11% of price growth from 1979 to 2019.

Today, record corporate profits account for 53.9% of price increases.

Folks, corporate greed is driving inflation, not workers asking for better wages.

New Yorkers were none too pleased with the senator from Texas sitting behind home plate to watch the Astros advance to the World Series. https://t.co/3oe2aoP8QV
