My expectation is Israel will push the boundaries on the ceasefire to see how many Palestinians they can kill in any given day without US censure, knowing that every death will push Hamas to strike back which Trump and Netanyahu would see as the official breach and thus commit to total annihilation.

Lots of people spreading disinformation today that there’s some nefarious reason no female hostages were released.

It’s literally just because women, child n and men over 50 were released under a previous ceasefire deal.

CNN World article excerpt reads: “The hostages who are believed to be alive are all men and all but one are in their 20s and 30s. Women, children and men over the age of 50 were released under previous ceasefire agreements.”

Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus!

We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them.

Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest"

US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.

Blue Jays need better at bats. Play your game!

The Mariners threw 8 pitches or fewer in six different innings tonight

That’s two more such innings than any other team in a postseason game since at least 2000

Absolutely not on Gaus. This is on the offence.

Kevin Gausman, self-critical after the #BlueJays' loss that I don't think can be tagged to him:

"I gave up a home run and a walk. Up to that point, I’d been throwing the ball really well and had the game right there. This one’s on me.”
