US Covid-19 deaths at 341,000 today. Anti-maskers and Republicans continue to show a blithe disregard for life until it impacts them personally.

[VancityBC 🇨🇦 @vancity_bc]

At the current rate the US COVID death count will exceed 320,000 at the end 2020. The equivalent of one Pittsburgh, or the entire Airforce's active duty airmen, or 113 times more people than perished on 9/11, or US soldiers that died in combat in WWII and the Korean War combined.

@Jackie_Redmond This is gutwrenching.

@Hockey_Robinson He’s in grade 12, doesn’t turn 18 until July, and has 2 more years of U20 wjhc eligibility. Unreal.

@Penguins23 100%. Guy is a turnover machine. Virtually every time he was out something bad happened.

@RandipJanda This could get even uglier very quick. Ugh.

Before he steps down I’d just like to thank Elon Musk for shattering the myth that billionaires are smarter, more hard working, or simply any better than anyone else in the most public way imaginable.

Who is Santa Claus, why does he look like that, and where did he come from?

Someone has to say it: Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science. 🧵1/

@moebius_strip Hope you’re doing well now. Take care.

@hatrik10 Masterpiece. Love it.

With Twitter's change in ownership last week, I'm probably in the clear to talk about the most unethical thing I was asked to build while working at Twitter.

I wish every single person in the West would listen to Putin's speech. Obviously, that won't happen so let me summarise as a professional translator for 10+ years. He states, as he has done from the outset, what his intentions and complaints are in the plainest terms possible.🧵

Re. Last night’s #TrumpRally: While often taking on the appearance of entertainment, rallies actually serve an incredibly important purpose in fascist movements, and we’d be wise not to write them off as a sideshow that can be ignored. 1/

@charlesadler It’s laughable how unoriginal the Canadian far right is. Well heeled caged Parrots repeating common catch phrases synchronized to a metronome that is Faux News and their poorly educated southern cousins that can’t locate Canada on a map.

Inflation has many concerned, and it's a complex issue. So I'm happy to share some results of work with my colleague, Prof. Sonja Chen: https://t.co/tvPyjdcXMP Not yet peer-reviewed, but there's some interesting results I'll preview here. 🧵 #cdnecon #cdnpoli
