Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible. I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the EU. And create a common prosperity and economic security space.

An AGO staff member came up to me after and said she knew me from twitter back in the day! She said the gallery had never ever done an event like this so they didn’t know what to expect but I was super impressed how organized it was! They also said they didn’t even know if anyone would show up! 😹😹😹

It's time we ditched the cult of growth, too. It's literally burning us alive. If we lose climate stability we lose agriculture because farmers won't be able to plan and plant crops reliably, and without agriculture, we all starve to death within a couple of years.

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

Homelessness on an individual level can have many different causes, but on a societal level there is only one cause: legislators with the power to end it are not using that power to end it. Even though it would save the government money, they would rather not end homelessness.

UNCLE! I give up on DIY dating. I give up. I am ready for the matchmakers and the aunties. I accept your wisdom and ministrations.
Text message from my date yesterday: I could get over the curly hair and the ass but you act like your smarter than me. Like you even tried to correct me when I said that stuff like heart tents aren’t tested because they aren’t but you think because you’ve got a law degree that automatically makes you smarter than me and that’s just not the case your a woman I’m a man there’s no comparison

My response: You’re a sports guy, right? Let’s review the tape:

(1) You insisted that the bioresorbable heart stents are called “heart tents.”
(2) You argued that they are not FDA approved or tested.
(3) I asked how you knew that and you said a YouTuber was talking about it.
(4) I (gently) asked if you had seen the the FDA news release announcing FDA approval. You said you had not, so I showed it to you, whereupon you got in my face and went on a tirade about “uppity bitches.”
(5) I thanked you for the coffee, told you the date was over, and indicated you should not contact me again. Then I left.My response continues: So naturally, you have taken it upon yourself to *contact me*, which, I suppose, makes sense if you’re you. Because there’s no way you otherwise understood “lose my number” as “text this woman a diatribe about how I’m the victim here.” You want to set the record straight? Let’s set it straighter than a line in Euclidean geometry:

The curls and ass ARE very big (as they should be, amen), but they’ll never be as big as your ego.

I’m not smarter than you because I’m a lawyer. I’m smarter than you because I am humble enough to accept what I don’t know and I do my damnedest to learn new things from reliable sources.

Usually I’d say ‘fuck prescriptivism,’ but I think I’ll make an exception just this once since you’re the one who wants to have an intellectual dick-measuring contest: you are = you’re, not your. My response continues: You are, indeed, a man, and what a representative specimen you are. Thanks for being so “normal”(since you’re smarter than me, I’m sure you’ll get that’s yet another math joke). Humanity is truly a marvel—we have the cognitive ability to choose to be *anything*, yet you choose to be . . . you. Intelligent design, my fat ass. 

Good luck out there.

He responds: You’re ass is disgusting you fat ugly bitch 

I respond: “Your” :) 

He replies in all caps: Yore a dumb fucking cunt

I respond: I’ve got drinks tonight with Nathan Poe and William of Ockham and boy, howdy, are they going to have a field day when I show them this chat. Toodles!

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.
