This snow is hurting my feelings. It took me over an hour to take my 13 yo to school today. It should have taken about 12 minutes. This city is not ready to be functional after 60 cms of snow in one day.

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

Trump knows Carney spanked him at Davos and is now having a predictable petty despotic meltdown. But what he will never understand is that in doing so he is proving the points Carney made in his landmark speech.

Here is quite a large solitary rugose (horn) coral belonging to the taxa Grewingkia canadensis. This specimen was collected from the Upper Ordovician Whitewater (upper cincinnatian series) Formation in Indiana.

This evening invoked killing a spider on the ceiling of my 9 year-old’s room with a sword from medieval times - which my 9yo insisted I light up for the task.
I do feel badly for the poor spider whose last moments were so weird.

After the World Trade Center was attacked (just four miles from Trump Tower), more than 40,000 Canadians in uniform fought alongside their U.S. allies in Afghanistan.
More than 2,000 Canadians were wounded.
These 158 didn't make it home.
And now this guy is giving lectures on gratitude.
