Good folks of #medsky I’m interested on your take on the Fauci Congressional deposition. I’m looking for cultivated and informed opinions who are familiar with his work and who watched the hearings, this is not a post for rage replies. Just interested parties with critical views and analysis! Thx!

This message is to all world leaders, billionaires and current trillionaire: Please leave the MOON alone. We really, really need it. It does super important stuff like make waves and keeping earth on its axis- you know- the basics. We only need it to be a moon- not for resources or energy.

I’d love to be the person who cares about a ballroom but as far as I’m concerned, the least important building in the world is the White House. America- you agreed to round two of that lunatic- he’s a convicted felon w/out restrictions. Also: Gaza, unrestrained poverty, global warming, et al.

Building a website is really really hard and I hate it. I can’t wait to go back to playing music, reading books, researching Basic Income and writing stories. And playing with puppies. Obviously playing with puppies. When I am done my website, I am doing all those things starting with puppies.

Ontario, you have until 9PM to vote! All you need is ID and a piece of mail with your address OR your voter card (if you got it). Call your friends and neighbors and help those who may be struggling to get out there. #onpoli #ElectionDay #Ontario

and the fact that people have literally no place to go, consider the fact that there are 2.9 million people in this province who are disabled, a number which, over the past 7 years has increased from 2.1 and consider that, in that time, there are FEWER people with a family doctor, not more.

I implore you to get involved with your riding’s other candidates and at least look at their policies. Vote your conscience. This election, reflect on the food banks (which also didn’t get mentioned), think about the rate of homelessness (234,000)

If they don’t shut him down EVERY chance they get, every opportunity, every time he opens his idiotic mouth, he WILL win again, likely with a majority which WILL end lives and derail a fragile economy.

4) I was elated to hear the plans laid out by the other leaders. Again, it was refreshing to see them target their rage at Ford and not at each other, but there is much more for them to do.

when he gets home from an int’l trip, after he’s been on international tv, when he’s mocked the disabled, when he’s made an abhorrent allegation abt the impoverished, when he plants an insidious seed abt incarceration, when he Lies. About. Jobs. And. The. Environment. When he tries to buy votes.

They let Ford talk the way he always talks which panders to the working class, igniting it to line up under his flag of false promises. Maybe he was baiting them & they didn’t bite- they NEEDED to bite, they needed to expose, deny, persuade, derail, invalidate & fact check all he ever says-

They didn’t rebut, they didn’t talk about their own policies, they didn’t talk about Indigeneity and colonialism, with that being said, NOBODY talked about Indigeneity and colonialism AT ALL, they also didn’t talk about the environmental impacts.

3) Ford kept talking about the Ring of Fire. They were in Northern Ontario, he was talking about Jobs in Northern Ontario, he had a friend with deep roots at the debate platform and lots of their own friends present so he was well supported and the other three didn’t pick up on that AT ALL.

The deregulation of these systems does NOT mean we are “cutting red tape”, it means we are cutting corners which means we leave people behind. What’s ACTUALLY needed is a finessed bureaucracy which makes the system more accessible, accountable and efficient.

Voters are not idiots and we deserve to have a say in how the revenue into which we pay is spent. Paperwork is not supposed to complicate, it’s meant to create transparency.

2) tax was overstated as though Ontarians are stupid. We’re not. Don’t insult us. I believe that, while taxation is a topic which needs discussing & clarity, the time for talk abt taxes raised or lowered is over. The discussions for who, what & how they’re used are the real conversations needed.

OW didn’t get discussed and Basic Income didn’t even get an honourable mention. They did discuss housing and homelessness, along with addressing addiction and mental health, however the only real policy laid out was really citing housing.

1) there was very little focus on social services. ODSP was mentioned ONCE and only by Bonnie Crombie. She mentioned, in passing while highlighting her litany of policies that she’s excited to get underway, that she’ll double ODSP, but at no point did the Greens or the NDP at all even float past it.

I was particularly pleased to see that the leaders of the NDP, Liberal and Green parties not taking shots at each other, but rather targeting their energy at the intolerable inadequacies of Ford’s leadership. Here are my critiques:

Yesterday’s debate. It was good to see the leaders engaged and ready to talk to the people of Ontario and the people of Northern Ontario.

What’s happening in Belgium rn? Thinking on it, what’s happening in Europe just in general? I think I read this chapter of “dystopia on the forefront” in a high school history textbook. It ended with a world war & lots of economic, political & social ramifications. I should check my notes.
