Oh, this is good. I would like this on top of the toolbox.

'I was crazy, and everything turned out good!' When I lived in Holland the Dutch people were very kind to me because I was a Canadian. They had many stories about how Canadian soldiers fought for their freedom. They were shocked this is not common knowledge for us. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

Canada has lost its measles elimination status...a sad milestone. Now is the time to double down on lowering barriers to routine childhood immunizations and ensuring Canadians have access to credible, science-based information. Link: tinyurl.com/c8nfxvk3

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

Tens of millions of Americans who lose their healthcare. Many will die because the Democrats caved tonight rather than fight for us.

It’s #WorldVentil8Day! 🌬️ Clean indoor air is a fundamental pillar of school safety. Effective ventilation drastically reduces the spread of airborne illnesses (flu, RSV, COVID) and is crucial for maintaining healthy Ontario classrooms. #OntEd #SchoolSafety #CollaborateToVentilate

How's this for energy abundance? Millions of Aussies will start receiving three hours of free power each day in 2026. This is what happens when you make rooftop solar less than a buck a watt!! "Rooftop solar installations cost about $840 (U.S.) per kilowatt of capacity before rebates." 🤯 🔌💡

Is Civics education important? Anyone..... anyone.....??

Oh we will not forget who bent the knee.

Well this is an interesting observation.....

Is anybody watching the goings-on at the White House construction site day-to-day? Are they opening access to the bunker below for construction? Is there some other access point for cement trucks etc to get in? They're going to need hundreds of truckloads, shouldn't be hard to monitor. Please @ me!

"If you're a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?" Billie Eilish speaking directly to Mark Zuckerberg, as she donates $11.5m to food poverty and climate justice organisations.

“Maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancy was associated with increased risk of adverse neurodevelopmental diagnoses by age 3 years, with effects most pronounced after third-trimester exposure and in male offspring.”😭

@thegodpodcast.com is this you smiting? Well done!

you know things are K-shaped when young folks are cutting back on relatively cheap eats like Chipotle… www.cnbc.com/2025/10/29/c...

Damn! bsky.app/profile/umbr...

Change one letter. Ruin a candy. S&Ms. Oh wait, I'm doing this wrong, aren't I?

I was recently laid off by ARTnews, a few days before the theft at the Louvre. The terms of my TN work visa means I can't freelance unless I donate the funds to charity. I'm open to new FT roles in business reporting and communications, and am willing to relocate to other cities, including Toronto.

Why would they even do this if it makes Google drive noticeably slower, resulting in this swift a backlash?? Morons

Folks, if we had sectoral bargaining with wage boards and the best anti-trust imaginable, we'd still need a welfare state. If we had a fully socialist economy we'd still need a welfare state. There is a lot we can do to empower workers but poverty is a household level phenomenon.

This is one case where being a boring economist helps. Forget the list: *Donate money* Food banks can turn it into food more efficiently than you can and also know what's needed better than even this list.

PSA: Ontario is opening COVID and flu shots to the general public starting tomorrow

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

Well that sums it up nicely.....

I think Ford possibly blundered into a good thing: forcing Mark Carney to see there is simply no deal to be had with Trump, and to get us pivoting away from the US with more seriousness, urgency, and comprehensiveness than whatever the hell he's been doing.

Props to @jsbarlow.bsky.social for bringing this to my attention via G&M. More context for the k-shaped discourse. Rosenberg the permabear, but still interesting......

And more.....

For example.....

There is a lot of good context here.

BREAKING: Letitia James has announced a Government portal for Videos and images of ICE Agents who may have committed crimes. Please Use it and SHARE! ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

Hmm, thumbnail won't load, tap the link.. bsky.app/profile/usil...

"In the two years since the state started charging a 4% surtax on incomes over $1 million, the effort has created a $5.7 billion windfall, with the surplus being used to fund bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit." Taxing the rich works!

For any national security experts out there: is it good security practice to tear open gaping holes in the executive residence while having no final plan for the addition being constructed? Is white house security now just some tarps? Would be neat if someone asked those questions

This blows my mind! I knew from my time in the UK there were a LOT of company cars, but 60% of the market? Anyway, clearly an area where policy can be leveraged.

Trump ordered Treasury employees not to share any more images of his demolition of The White House.

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This was a very entertaining read. To my mind, Halligan had no idea who she was dealing with, and for some reason thought Bower could be groomed - I'm surprised that Anna didn't address this possibility

The next president is gonna have to burn the whole building down, 🇬🇧 1812-style, to get the stench (and palantir/spacex/chinese/russian bugs) out anyway so no big

get his ass kenny

would be great if the speaker could explain what point he thinks the president made

New work on school cell phone bans just dropped. "Bans...led to a[n] ... increase in student suspensions in the short-term ... but disciplinary actions began to dissipate after the first year." "We find significant improvements in student test scores in the second year of the ban."

It sure would be nice to know "how" this actually got posted on Trump's social. This is so ridiculous it beggars belief.

Student media rules. They are lapping a lot of the spineless media orgs this year and showing how solidarity is the way.

If you see this, post a chef.

I haven't checked, but perhaps @thegodpodcast.com has something to say about this??

Well good thing. There are a lot of high school students who sincerely believe they can collect a paycheque for this kind of behavior, and well, here it is... Joke's on us.

Wow. New Economist poll finds only 34% of Americans say ICE's use of force has been justified, vs 51% who say it's been excessive. And they oppose agents wearing masks by 52-35. Yep, ICE is becoming a pariah agency, and that's gaining deep penetration in the culture:
