Covid did an absolute number on many, many people's brains. It's difficult to assess in real time, but oh my it's gonna show up later.

There is a very serious problem, not just in BC, but everywhere, with governments working against the people rather than for them.

For every €1 paid out, they got €1.46 back. UBI works, again. If the BC or Canadian governments want to save some money, here's a good place to start! You'd think the Conservatives would be all over it!

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Yes. I feel blessed every minute of every day to live here. While also being aware it's not accessible to many people.

worth noting that they're doing the thing in part because they held Google to account, to the tune of billions, and won their fair share as a nation. what an idea

I'm very impressed by his technical ability. He subtly does stuff very few players can do. There's a very facile typecasting of him as a big lumbering defensive midfielder, and like...just watch him for a minute! He's got class.

The funniest thing in the world is someone posting something egregiously fake followed by “let that sink in.”

Debra Messing: @emmabenson92 I have nothing against Socialism, don't know where you got that. I voted against M because he celebrated 9/11.
Let that sink in. I love my country. My reasoning is not Islamophobia. I I've chosen to live in the most beautifully diverse city in the world.

Oh, 100%. This was aimed at the Canadian government taking aim at Canada Post. An incredibly valuable service; and you just know it's one of the first cracks in the dam when governments go 'hey you know this great thing? Let's destroy it!'

The bit that upset me the most was when she was given a secondhand teddy and doll’s house for her daughter and she’s so disgusted by these gifts that she leaves them out on the pavement for the binmen. Just a really nasty piece of work.
