The killing of Charlie Kirk is absolutely horrifying.
There’s no place for violence in our country’s politics.
My deepest sympathies to his family.

"Break the ice" — To initiate a conversation or create a more relaxed atmosphere. The phrase dates back to when ships would break the ice to create a path for others.

Some stats: Book went from 233 pages on a first draft to 219 (a reduction of 14 pages) Word counts- first draft: 117,171 to just under 109,000. On the second draft I marked out some spots to add or extend scenes.

Inevitably we may have to reopen the constitution to add a few updates, including on the treatment, and equality of Indigenous Peoples. I think that'll go a lot easier if we make some concessions on C-5 now. We should make it a point to consult with them as these projects move forward. #cdnpoli

so let me get this straight—the NYT accepted hacked information given to them by a substack white supremacist to be used against a mayoral candidate?
NYT updated the story, bang-up job all around
