I drive and love my Nissan vehicles

These new Chinese EVs look really, really solid and they’re very affordable relative to the current North American market

"Maybe if you channeled all this anger into swimming faster you wouldn’t have come in fifth."

I just tried to schedule a covid vaccine in Alberta and all of the options do not work.

I’m currently taking a break from dying under the weight of 40 wearables and deadlines to say I’m very proud of our site for putting together a package about being trans on the internet during these garbage times. 🏳️‍⚧️

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.
