Patriot Games was okay, but I'm really hoping for Debt of Honor.
Donald Trump just announced the creation of the “Patriot Games,” an “unprecedented four-day athletic event” with “one young man and one young woman from each state and territory.”

It definitely shows the power of collective purchasing power.
Do you think the average American citizen could have Venezualan fishermen atomized from the comfort of their own home for only $3000 a year? What a bargain.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

An acute example of Cdn establishment hollowness. When asked why no Palestinian voices in a debate *about* Palestinians, Griffith said they're pvt & somebody else should do it. Yet he struts & clucks on stage that Munk is fearless in its free speech & open dialogue. Such dilettante wankery.

As many as 200 people protested outside the Munk Debates in Toronto on Wednesday, where a panel of all-Israeli speakers discussed whether a two-state solution is in the best interest of Israel.

I appreciate that the majority of the comments on this immediately went to, "the American President is notorious for not paying people; the architect probably quit because they haven't been paid."
Breaking news: President Trump replaced the architect he handpicked to design his $300 million White House ballroom.
It is unclear whether he was fired or resigned.

Current facial recognition technology & artificial intelligence tools can't tell most racialized people apart. The error rates, at 35-45%, are highest for Black women in some studies. Black women who are already over policed, at risk of violence, and underserved, will now be falsely arrested, too.🤬
