It’s suddenly cold. I think our stick around snow is going to come on December 1st, just like the last 5 years.

I can’t wait to find out the details of this pipeline. TMX isn’t even fully utilized and Smith has a hard on for Prince Rupert/ Kitimat. Is this a slap in the face to environmentalists?

Flock is not just replicating historic racism it is building it into the future

Flock is one of the largest abuses of legal rights in history and its use as a fence for those seen as a threat to white power and capitalism.

Flock is techno fascism in practice and it must be destroyed.
Worth noting that these are by and large in black and brown communities. That's a whole lot in Cedar-Riverside, Near North, and North, as well as along Franklin and Lake. Nothing south of Lake is really telling.
I just went on a bike ride verifying and entering locations of MPD and Hennepin County Sheriff ALPR cameras so DeFlock should be pretty accurate for Minneapolis now deflock.me/map#map=13/4...

This is a problem, a big f’n problem. Firefighters go into places with toxins. They are exposed to them and the develop diseases. Governments & Big Insurance muddy the waters over cause. www.silive.com/news/2025/11...

We’re going to be warm for awhile, but what’s that blue streak on the East side of the Rockies? Could it be the PV? And i am not referring to Puerto Vallarta
Ah yes, the famously cold and wet CV.
Following a very wet period in Southern California (even breaking some records for Nov and season-to-date precip!), dry and much warmer conditions will prevail this week. In fact, Thanksgiving will be quite mild & dry nearly U.S. West-wide EXCEPT for the Central Valley... #CAwx

The World’s richest man got rid of USAID as it was cutting into his goal of becoming the first trillionaire. 600,000 and counting, of the poorest people in the World have died, because they weren’t born in Pretoria.

A funny thing happened on the way back from Kelowna. I went to a Pub in Grand Forks to have supper & a couple of beer. The server was nice, but she went crazy on the Poison. My nose immediately twitched, halfway through my beer, I wanted out of the bar. What is the proper etiquette? (Winter project)

What a great analogy Jared!

The trouble with the UCP's dual practice model?

Think about a double double.

If the line at Tim’s is long because there’s only one person pouring coffee, opening an “express lane” for people who tip $20 doesn’t speed things up. It means those with more money get the coffee while others wait.
Back in school, I wrote an essay about how two-tier healthcare would improve access for everyone.

It makes intuitive sense: create a second line and the original one gets shorter, right?

A better look at the evidence and arguments like Picard's changed my mind. 🧵
