That is easily the best MLS game I've ever seen.
Vancouver go up 2-0, concede, get a red card, Son scores an unbelievable free-kick, extra time...
Then reduced to 9 after injury, LAFC almost win it a dozen times, but Son misses his pen and #VWFC win it on the last kick of PKs.

Now show Japanese Kei truck or the upcoming @telotrucks.bsky.social EV.
“As pickups transitioned from farm/ranch workhorses to lifestyle vehicles, their design shifted accordingly: Cabs expanded to accommodate more passengers, while beds shrank. The first generation of F-150s were 36% cab & 64% bed by length. By 2021, the ratio had flipped.

This is 100% what is happening when you see Conservatives leading in some of the safest NDP ridings.
Some of what is happening is that the massive strategic shift of NDP voters toward Liberals to block Tories... may have helped Conservatives in some places.
This was a seat where the NDP was running for reelection. But the NDP fell to third, and Conservatives easily picked it up:

If Vancouver East is actually going Liberal then there’s still many more Liberal seats to come in Metro Vancouver as the polls start to come in.

Election day in a country that has had a fair and free vote for generations.
Where all the opposition parties are free to take power.
Where virtually everyone will accept the election result.
After my last year, it’s a history and a privilege I’m more grateful for than ever.
Let’s get at it.

So, just to recap, Trump's tariffs:
-Were reciprocal for other nations' tariffs
-Ok, were actually reciprocal for non-tariff barriers
-Nevermind, they're about closing trade deficits
-Aren't negotiable
-Ok, ARE negotiable, but only for cash
-nevermind back to 10% across-the-board

Brutal self own by Trump. I'm cheering for him to lose but rates spiking going into a recession, with increased inflation, is a nasty combo for just about everyone.
