Somewhere between “I can do it myself” and “why am I doing everything myself” is the entire female experience.

Cortisol = belly fat.
Cortisol = puffy face.
Cortisol = hair loss.
Cortisol = collagen gone.
Cortisol = libido gone.

One hormone. Every symptom.

Here’s what actually fixes it:

For those wondering why it's so hard to control remote wildfires in Canada, here are two maps which might help illustrate the problem. Let's call them: A) Where the people are; and B) Where the trees are.

[Alina Cameron 🇨🇦 💉 🔬 @Alina_Cameron]

I live in Northwestern Ontario. Right now, the Boreal forest is burning.

I'm writing this beneath the dark orange plume from the Quetico wildfires.

These are some of the reports coming out as communities fight to survive:

"No fire crews left for new fires."
"We had no warning."
Families are self-evacuating by private boat across lakes because they didn't receive evacuation information. They're fleeing towering flames with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

This is unacceptable in a province as wealthy as Ontario.

I'm calling out Doug Ford. His government has underfunded Ontario's wildfire management capacity by tens of millions of dollars.

@fordnation you want our Ring of Fire, our water, our forests. You want to store nuclear waste in our bedrock and run an oil pipeline through our watersheds.

But you won't work with northern communities. You make decisions for us without us, and then fail to provide the basic public services we PAY FOR and rely on: wildfire protection, health care, education, safe highways and social services.

Northern Ontario deserves better than this feckless leadership.

Toronto Condo completions in the meat of it:

29,291 condo units were completed in 2025

The record high of 29,924 units completed in 2024

2026 will be 22,066 units completed

2027 will be finished in 14,366 units in 2027

By 2029 the condo will be a relic of the 2020s and zero will be completed.

Trump:

"NATO has treated the US very badly. We've never asked for anything. We've never got anything."

Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the US in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.

This is a multi-billion dollar business

Just like a Roomba, it drives around, but it’s not cleaning, instead it’s printing the floor plan on to the slab.

Ever wonder why you can eat bread, pasta, and cheese every day in Europe — and still feel better than you do in America?

It’s not about eating less.
It’s about eating food that isn’t poisoned.

Here are 11 American foods banned in other countries:🧵

1. Bread (made with Azodicarbonamide)

As Trump shuts down the suicide hotline, Canada has broadcasted their national hotline which now has a toll-free American version: 1-877-330-6366

Amazing. In *two* minutes, Pete Buttigieg got Andrew Shulz to see why government research is necessary.

That is why these conversations matter. A lot of the hosts & audience would never hear a message like this one. But when they do, it makes sense.

This is what the country’s actual tariffs are on the US vs what the White House claimed. In case anyone was wondering.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

To the dumb fucks still under the delusion Trump is joking, he is in fact plotting to invade Canada.

[Decoding Fox News @DecodingFoxNews]

Fox News featured a segment about tariffs last week on Special Report with Bret Baier. It seems some of the top brass at the network want their viewers to know - foreign countries don't pay tariffs - U.S. importers and companies do with the cost often being passed onto consumers.

[CBC News @CBCNews]

Former senior Canadian intelligence officials say Canada needs to be on the lookout for campaigns aimed at destabilizing the country amid Donald Trump's escalating 51st state threats.
They say those attempts would likely come on social media, such as X. https://t.co/Iq8ydWL4zN

Hi @karolineleavitt

Patrick here, from Quebec. 👋

1- It’s $254,000 (Canadian, but still)

2- 53% is the marginal tax rate. The actual rate is 39%.

3- We have subsidized health care, day care and tuition fees.

4- We live three years longer than Americans, on average.

Cheers!

BREAKING: A video is going viral for showing just how stupid Trump’s tariffs on Canada are based on the importance of our lumber imports. EVERY American should see this.
