Reminder of what a huge sucker you are if you voted for Trump to "shake up the system."

You voted for the people who already have the power and the money.

They're not going to share it. They're going to take more from you. You gave them permission.

If a FELON can become President... Why keep it on Job applications...? Just sayin.

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

[Jeff (Gutenberg Parenthesis) Jarvis @jeffjarvis]

A key mark of totalitarianism is government and party ownership and control of the means of speech and information. The party, through its main apparatchik, owns Twitter. The government wants to own TikTok. The only free speech is the fascists' speech.

Matthews has been suspended. MacKinnon has been suspended. If you called the obvious infractions they draw nightly, they’d draw 3-4 penalties. But they don’t and frankly, if I were being cross checked, slew footed and jabbed away from the play…I’d lose it sometimes, too.

So, sign your Int kids, and they better be good. Extend Vladdy, now…here’s your 450. Anything other than that the next two days, trade everyone…now.

“I want to forge my own path” yup forge it in Ohtani and Yamamotos shadow lmao

The part I keep going back to, I don't know how or why someone would ever make that Myles Straw trade unless there was a guarantee it would also land Sasaki. It doesn't make any sense, just none whatsoever.

[Gregor Chisholm @GregorChisholm]

The way the last 14 months have played out is just cruel and unusual punishment to #BlueJays fans. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything quite like it.

[James Christian Parsons @Dred_Tory]

How about when Brian Mulroney signed the FTA/NAFTA in fulfillment of a commitment to the Prairie wing of his coalition, allowing Alberta's energy exports to thrive while devastating Ontario manufacturing?

History is hard, I guess.

[Andrea C. Love, PhD @dr_andrealove]

The FDA ban of red 3 has nothing to do with actual health risks & everything to do with public outrage & lobbyist money.

Adverse effects? IN RATS: after eating 4% of their weight daily for months.

That’s if a 150-lb person ate 102 GRAMS of red 3 EVERY DAY, for months.

Oh damn! Down to the organization with the most starting pitching injuries the last couple years vs the team with the fewest starting pitching injuries the last couple years.

Stay safe out there Roki 🙏🏼

[Branko Marcetic @BMarchetich]

Crazy idea, but what if the same way this guy passes himself off as superhumanly talented at this video game - which is clearly fraudulent to someone familiar with the game, but convincing to anyone else - is the same thing he does in a lot of other aspects of his life?

[Dale Smith @journo_dale]

But will anybody hold a single premier to account for it?

[Jesse Marshall @jmarshfof]

It is already *extremely* difficult to convey systems information and ideas in written or video form. Doing so without clips from a live game? Essentially impossible. Can't be done. And the NHL itself has zero interest in bridging understanding to the game for fans.

[Jesse Marshall @jmarshfof]

You can point to this as one of the many reasons why the NHL is archaic and at the very bottom of the major professional sports in North America. That will not change one iota under Gary Bettman's stone-age approaches and disrespect to people generating interest in the game.

[Jesse Marshall @jmarshfof]

The NHL is killing content creators, manually going through the backlogs of everyone who creates content on YouTube using NHL footage, and demonetizing them via copyright claim.

The NFL doesn't do this. The NBA doesn't do this. The MLB doesn't do this.

Perfectly sums up the AI evangelist problem at large: “I want to be seen and valued as a ‘creative’ person, but I don’t actually want to learn and practice a craft. This creates a resentment that must be resolved, but without me having to do the work.”
