Driving in this city is bonkers. Everyone is too fast, too impatient, no pedestrian right of way, like, at all. Felt safer driving in the GTA to be honest (though maybe it has changed too)

I like that Canadian Thanksgiving is in October. This is way too close to Christmas and I would be Stressed. Out.

Put your turkey in the fridge to defrost! Now.

Fierce, like the character ⚔️
This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.
Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

It’s tough to convince patients they need to go to the ER. They already feel awful and they know they’ll have to sit in a chair in a crowded room with other very sick people for 10-12 hours. It’s a hard sell. www.cbc.ca/news/marketp...
Canadians are leaving emergency departments before seeing a doctor — and coming back worse | CBC Shows
About half a million people left emergency departments across Canada before being seen by a doctor last year, according to data analysis by CBC’s Marketplace.

"the Saudis can't bribe people any more because they spent all their money on sports teams and deeply stupid infrastructure projects they'll never finish" is a plot twist I didn't see coming, I'll be honest

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

I agree. It ruined her life. Let her be.
Monica Lewinski went through Hell because of Bill Clinton and she was 21 when she started working for him.
Please leave that poor woman be in all the funning. She was destroyed by the public and he kept on keeping on as the president.

Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force.
(Also, I just learned one reason the FDA rejected it at first was that they said the name Plan B was too glib!)
Great obit—no paywall.
