Now I am imagining ‘71-model Oliver Reed following Elizabeth Holmes around her house with a movie camera and asking her over and over “So Lizzie, tell me, are you going to scam again? Come now, don’t be coy with me, Miss Theranos, are you?”

Forgiving infrastructure assumes people make mistakes. A person on a bike who loses their balance and falls shouldn't pay for it with their life just because there was no buffer between them and a vehicle 100 times their weight.

I'm sorry you and your wife went through that, sir. The cancer, not the parking fees. Parking should never be free. Though $8 max? That's almost free. I think the cheapest max I've ever seen was $30.

... It covered semi-private only. Oh well. I harumphed and paid it. At the follow-up appointment with the doc, the doc apologized to my wife for what may have been due to something the doctor didn't do perfectly during the c-section. I wonder if Americans grasp how ridiculously bad they have it.

Really hard not to be a smug Canadian on this one. One time we got a bill after the 5 night hospital stay where my wife ... had a very rough time as a result of the doctor maybe making a mistake during the c-section. The bill was $80 for the private room, which I thought my insurance would cover...

In Chrysta Freeland's new book she states that Howard Lutnick threatened to invade Canada "by sundown" over Doug Ford's electricity surcharge. The fact that US trade negotiators put military threat on the table must be taken with the upmost seriousness. charlieangus.substack.com/p/they-threa...

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you really should watch and share this excellent news story. Ford LIES that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data. Remember and share this as Ford tears out Toronto bike-lanes.

Ahead of Indigenous Peoples' Day, a reminder that Christopher Columbus was a lying, grifting, genocidal maniac.
Because of Columbus's exaggerated report and promises, his second expedition was given seventeen ships and more than twelve hundred men. The aim was clear: slaves and gold. They went from island to island in the Caribbean, taking Indians as captives. But as word spread of the Europeans' intent they found more and more empty villages. On Haiti, they found that the sailors left behind at Fort Navidad had been killed in a battle with the Indians, after they had roamed the island in gangs looking for gold, taking women and children as slaves for sex and labor.

Now, from his base on Haiti, Columbus sent expedition after expedition into the interior. They found no gold fields, but had to fill up the ships returning to Spain with some kind of dividend. In the year 1495, they went on a great slave raid, rounded up fifteen hundred Arawak men, women, and children, put them in pens guarded by Spaniards and dogs, then picked the five hundred best specimens to load onto ships. Of those five hundred, two hundred died en route. The rest arrived alive in Spain and were put up for sale by the archdeacon of the town, who reported that, although the slaves were "naked as the day they were born," they showed "no more embarrassment than animals." Columbus later wrote: "Let us in the name of the Holy Trinity go on sending all the slaves that can be sold."

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had invested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death.

I had such high hopes. I've finally realized Vanney (et al) is not a good coach, but is good at convincing management to spend a lot of money. "We just need a new winger. Just one more winger, maybe a 10, and we'll be competing for championships. I swear." How about developing a young -- shut up.
