Ouderkirk's by nature are usually quite Conservative. I'm not. I've always been a Liberal, Black Sheep of the family who honestly cares about others. I love my country, Canada, my Province BC, my city Vancouver, my cat, horses, art, history & nature.

I caught two strikes and a Bluesky community guidelines violation for jokingly wondering how his story will end. We are all held to incredibly high standards while the president is held to zero.

Missed payments. Slashed staffing. Broken security. A patient who froze to death on a hospital roof. @h-lev.bsky.social & @acleek.bsky.social investigate American Healthcare System, the company driving hospitals around the country to financial chaos. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

A for-profit hospital slashed costs. Then a patient froze to death on its roof.
A little-known company grew on promises to save distressed hospitals. Instead, it sunk them into financial chaos.

I’ve sometimes seen folks argue that only a few police are bad, that most are good. But if ‘good’ cops won’t call out bad cops, then there are no good cops.

The Dept of Interior claims that the algae in the reflecting pool is left over from rarely used pipes No. Painting the pool dark blue means that it absorbs heat much faster than if it were a light color. Warmer = faster algae growth That's why you don't see black swimming pools Science!

If you were to count out a million seconds, it would take you 11 and a half days. A billion seconds would take you 31.7 years. But a trillion seconds would take 31,700 years — to reach that point today, you would have needed to start counting around the time that neanderthals went extinct.

look i don't pretend to be any Iran or geopolitical chess master but this seems bat shit insane. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...


Days after Israeli strikes killed Iran’s supreme leader and other top officials in the opening salvos of the war, President Trump mused publicly that it would be best if “someone from within” Iran took over the country.

It turns out that the United States and Israel went into the conflict with a particular and very surprising someone in mind: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the former Iranian president known for his hard-line, anti-Israel and anti-American views.

But the audacious plan, developed by the Israelis and which Mr. Ahmadinejad had been consulted about, quickly went awry, according to the U.S. officials who were briefed on it.

Mr. Ahmadinejad was injured on the war’s first day by an Israeli strike at his home in Tehran that had been designed to free him from house arrest, the American officials and an associate of Mr. Ahmadinejad said. He survived the strike, they said, but after the near miss he became disillusioned with the regime change plan.
