Top panel: Features Jerry Seinfeld (left, wearing a purple sweater) with a shocked and accusatory expression, and George Costanza (right, wearing a red and blue plaid shirt) looking serious. The text is a caption of Jerry's dialogue: "You kept raping, selling, and murdering all the Indigenous People?"
Bottom panel: Features the character Kramer, but his face is replaced with a historical portrait of Christopher Columbus. He is wearing a white, patterned button-down shirt and has his hands on his hips, suggesting a defensive or resigned posture. The caption of his dialogue reads: "Well, I was a huge piece of shit."
The meme satirically addresses the brutality of Christopher Columbus and his treatment of Indigenous populations, using the Seinfeld format for comedic effect.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

If you're the person* who reached out to ask if it's worth it to keep going —

my view is this: if you can get out to a country with a healthcare system that will work for you? do it.

otherwise? make them kill you.

If you want safe Canadian made pots and pans, you might want to take a look Paderno’s stainless steel ones - touted as eco friendly.

We bought ours decades ago - easy to cook with and clean. Ours weren’t the expensive ones but are still in great shape.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

Why dont some people want
To make an effort to get along? Hopeless it seems. Been there.
It’s a hassle annoying time spent to report sometimes and unsympathetic cop makes it worse if neighbors know it’s you…
But if there’s a time/noise law. I’d likely do it -especially if can phone in.

Didn’t know that the first Canadian Thanksgiving predates the American one by 43 years. However, most Canadians would skip Thanksgiving altogether if we didn’t revise the menu of “salt beef, biscuits, and mushy peas”

That’s a hard no from me. 🤢
