Goon a movie Brigagoon

The faster I go, the less time I seem to have. Slow down, then, in order to have more time?

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

The Lexus ad where they show a family over the years & their car goes from a reasonable sedan to a bloated SUV with oversized hood by the end. It accidentally tells the story of why pedestrian fatalities have been rising.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

Picard management tip: Allow yourself some alone time. It may help you think.

I am buoyed by the community who stood in the cold to say they don’t support Lansdowne 2.0. Ottawa deserves better, and so do women’s hockey fans. There is no stadium emergency. This plan is built on financial fiction and my grandkids will still be paying for it. I will vote no with my whole heart.

Keystone Kash needed a distraction from the story that he took another private govt jet to watch his girlfriend sing. apnews.com/article/detr...

I look forward to footage from the NYC Halloween parade every year. Hundreds of people learning the Thriller dance and filling the streets? Yes, please. Cities are for joy.

Hey remind me, has Pierre Poilievre finally completed his standard security check yet and managed to get the normal, standard security clearance that everyone else even close to his position has? No? STILL REFUSES TO? Hmm. Wonder what the REAL reason for that is?

Happy Halloween

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

No means testing for Halloween. It’s a good principle.

We're like 3 hours from Trump raising tariffs on Canada again because of the #BlueJays win

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

democrats of all stripes should be rallying around kat abughazaleh asap. it doesnt matter where you stand ideologically. trying to jail dissenters is fundamentally unamerican and 100% fascist. democratic leaders at all levels should be making noise about it. you dont need a poll or focus group.

IMPORTANT: The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart governments do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear— it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife.com

Removing harm reduction services in neighbourhoods improves no one's safety - neighbours, people who use substances, anyone.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

It’s time for a day of mindfulness. Today I’ll focus fully on whatever I’m doing while I’m doing it. I’ll remember to: Breathe mindfully Pay attention Resist enemyship Say a kind word Drink my tea Play a game Cook a healthy meal Go for a mindful walk Smile Not be “productive”

The company brought Junior in right after the election as part owner. They just won the largest drone motor contract awarded by the Pentagon.

I sort of forgot to mention that my podcast, It's Storytime With Wil Wheaton, had a wonderful test season earlier this year, and new episodes are on their way! I will return on October 29th, with a spooky story. You can find me wherever you get your podcasts, or at patreon.com/storytime

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

Why does so much of modern life feel like we’re Special Forces soldiers barrelling out of a helicopter under fire in a landing zone?

ICE agents greeted by a hero on arrival in New York this evening. Make statues of this.

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅ Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅ Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅ Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅ #Ugh🤢✅

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

"But, despite early promises, Carney – and so many other leaders – have failed to genuinely support the one sector that makes Canada, well, Canadian: culture."

Remain peaceful and stand together. Ignore provocations. Stay safe. #nokings www.nokings.org

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

WTF. His whole script is Trump! Poilievre pitches crime crackdown, saying some communities have become 'war zones' #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Mike Johnson refusing to swear her in: "The excuses depending on the day keep changing ... the timing is the fact that I am the 218th signer to the discharge petition for the Epstein files"

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

When Hollywood Does Canada: The Devil's Brigade A fun movie that most historians and veterans feel isn't historically accurate. The worst thing it did was completely ignoring the most-decorated member of the Devil's Brigade, Tommy Prince.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry. The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Today I learned there is such a thing as National Boss's Day, and that allegedly it is this Thursday and I SWEAR TO GOD that if I find out any of you have participated in such a craven act of subservience to the ownership caste I will find you and give you SUCH a noogie

Prime Minister Mark Carney 🇨🇦 👇

Lessons learned from TO and Montreal: you need to treat bike share as a public service and invest in it. A private for-profit model doesn’t work. Ottawa is way behind on this, but I am looking forward to working with @shawnmenard.bsky.social, @seandevine9.bsky.social and others to make it happen.

Need a good news story this Thanksgiving? “In true Hollywood fashion,” says McKibben, “our liberation and our destruction are arriving at precisely the same time, offering us a remarkable choice. Our species, at what feels like a very dark moment, can take a giant leap into the light. Of the sun.”

Do you remember that Germany was pushing photovoltaics decades ago and now (with wind) it's CHEAPEST freedom energy, clean? Yes. We need a plan to SCALE UP renewable material capacity as well, urgently, yesterday. foto: @ecococon.bsky.social www.linkedin.com/posts/eco-co...
