When is a lead Hoffman proof? #bluejays š
I only vent here now. Probably not a good follow. Send cat and dog pictures, please. Liked the tan suit. In this trying time, many many typos.

When is a lead Hoffman proof? #bluejays š
Well this made me cry.
A personalist dictatorship can have no settled policy except the will of the leader. No facts matter, no principles other than the leadership principle (Fuhrerprinzip)
America First = America Alone.
In life, there are people with a specific area of expertise that, not at all their fault, is still very very bad when you have to hear from them. No one wants to have to see an oncologist. Now we're having to hear from civ-mil experts about the world's top mil power that also once had a civil war.
Totally insane and wildly dangerous. Children will die, and Florida will export communicable diseases to the rest of the country and the world.
I lived in a condo with each of the amenities you mentioned and they were all heavily used. One thing I think would be nice is a dedicated car wash area within the parkade. I've only seen one of those in a fancy condo I was visiting.
Never forgive, never forget, the people who are taking this away from us. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxR2...
No surprise that it's owned by a hedge fund.
I think one really telling thing is that everything the COVID maximalists call for, essentially the PRC did, and a lot more. That still couldn't stop the omicron variant when it arrived. There is no reality where a (much lower than OG) risk from COVID doesn't exist - we just have to live with it.
A reminder that Trump called Baltimore a 'hellhole' today to no controversy or scandalous headlines. Imagine a Democratic president calling a red state or red city a hellhole. Just imagine. Oh, the double standards.
Completely off topic but in other lawyer news, John Carpay and Jay Cameron just got disbarred by the Law Society of Alberta. Probably worth a story.
And if the board didn't follow it to a T, there will be the same complaints that the board wasn't following government directives.
One of the definitive days of this admin imo was the WSJ identifying racist posts from a DOGE staffer - the kind of stuff that would be read out loud to you as HR explains why you're not getting severance - and Vance saying no, we won't let the media cancel people anymore.
You're looking for Nissan E-Power hybrid. It'll probably be at least a year before they arrive in North America.

Counterpoint, no the [censored] it isn't. Having middle school students talk to an AI Anne Frank is like having a high school student (one who's willing to make stuff up on the spot) dress up as her and come visit the class. Fully pretend, will create/reinforce false impressions.
The PRC has shown that it uses trade as a means of coercion. With their track record with canola, pork & rare earths as mentioned in the video, they'd easily threaten to brick your EV at a later date if they felt that would give them an advantage. Dropping EV restrictions talk has just been naive.
I think a lot about how 20 million people losing their AIDS medication generated less outrage than college kids being annoying about a poorly made banh mi sandwich.
absolutely insane to see a man with a completely cooked brain take a country with such an intense founding mythology about the rejection of kings, and turn it into his personal vanity project in the span of like six months. kind of embarrassing for us collectively as a society
Ostapenko is known for not getting along, let's say, with opponents when she loses to them. And her, well, temperament. Townsend and Penko are also doubles rivals. As someone who follows WTA with more than just a passing interest, what happened is more likely Penko being Penko than anything more.
YELLEN: ā.. Trumpās attempted sacking of Cook should be met with outrage, not with shrugs. .. And the financial community must raise its voice against a direct assault on the credibility of the dollar itself.ā @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/d2ea...
Watch out market folks, Helene has stepped away from her desk.
like if you put a product on the market where thereās a non-zero chance that itās going to āproactively instigate the death by suicide of a childā and lots of people tell you thatās obviously gonna happen and you do it anyway and then it happens,,, how is that not a crime ?

Yup. So many words to avoid saying they wouldn't vote for a lady to be president, let alone a black lady. We already had round two, let's just acknowledge misogyny and bigotry got us where we are today.
It's called fascism. Fascist regimes, like Mussolini's Italy, directly nationalized some businesses. American journalists need reminding that this isn't necessarily a 'socialist' thing. Articles like this don't help the public interpret what's happening in the US. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
This article just reminded me of this old tweet
This is what is so bad about the "distraction" discourse. There are no distractions. It's all bad, and it's all part of Trump's desire to be a dictator and the Republicans' Project 2025.
There is no other person on Earth more qualified for this job than you are.
"MISSION ACCOMPLISHED"
I really, really hope we're not being taken like suckers by a fascist moron.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries thanks PLAN for keeping its yards busy for the foreseeable future.
A lot of younglings are not going to see what you did there.
Ya know, he could. We should encourage this kind of thinking. Don't be a wuss like Biden. Give Ukraine everything it needs to hit back.
Thereās a thin line between staying as informed as you should and making yourself anxious in a way that is completely unproductive and every single day the news is trying very hard to push you over into the latter
Dude this is great for your book? Not great for society, but you need to think like the historical figures you study š¤£
There is a way to lower price increases - the UK could drastically lower trade barriers with its largest partner. But the people voted for the opposite of that and telling them they got what they voted for isn't going to win any elections.
Are you Mr Burns Darth?
I've come to think they will still be profitable despite a reduced Western audience, because of non-Western audiences that don't know about how abominable author turned out to be. They just want something their kids might be interested in to learn English.
This is the third such incident to be uncovered in two months. We are going to be spending billions on the Canadian military - they need to go beyond words of outrage and demonstrate that they are taking steps to address this. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

They didn't put a percentage on Crimea. I wonder why.
Two weeks before the start of school and when folks (domestic & foreign) are getting their last summer holidays or returning from them. If they weren't going to get to an agreement anyway better from his perspective to be able to say he acted early and it's now out of his hands.
Where is Taf and why is she not borking at kitty?
Exactly! Like, wait, Hold Up.
You know how freaked out the US right now is about the PRC's AI advances, e.g. Deepseek, and those Nvidia GPU export restrictions? mRNA is an area where the US has an, as yet, unassailable lead over the PRC. It won't be so unassailable forever the way things are going.
Damn.
The issues facing Canada Post and Air Canada are completely different. Canada Post has an existential crisis - their business model just doesn't work any more. Air Canada has a pay issue. AC's business model has challenges but is OK, they're profitable, & ppl want to work there. The question is pay.

I wonder if there's also some self-selection happening too, you move to a rural area because you prefer to be alone. Also, I have a sneaking suspicion that it's a coping mechanism, rural areas have higher crime rates and to feel better, you believe urban areas must be even worse.
A lot of words to say they just wouldn't vote for a black lady. Talking about the economy with "infectious optimism" - dude gave away the game right there.
May I ask if this was before or after Fleabag?
"State-Owned Enterprise"
in addition to the crank realignment bringing all the woo under the Trump umbrella I think there's an "elite asshole" realignment. a bunch of mostly men afraid they and people like them might start facing consequences for their behavior. this crosses ideological lines.
It's classic Clinton-hater bait. The headline and article writer knew exactly what they were doing.
I guess where Iām at is that if, given everything that is happening right now, you are spending your time inventing scenarios where you wonāt vote for a Democrat over the literal fascist who is currently doing fascism, I am just assuming youāre not actually serious about this stuff
Now think of the mediocre idiots auditioning for Fed Chair, who still have to say rates need to be cut to land the job.
Amazing how many of our current villains have similar origin stories: Someone criticized them or failed to give them the respect / status to which they felt entitled. Naturally, this left them with no choice but to destroy the offending institution/s, possibly the whole country.
The American press and public really need to figure out how to simply dismiss Trump's pretextual claims for authoritarian attacks and then resist the attack itself, not debate the claim. We have spent months asking "but is the Ivy League really antisemitic?" and now "but is DC really crime-ridden?"
Now a real on the ground impact (non-US context): the local Pride Parade organizers here had to scale back this year because they are facing financial challenges. They are also worried about next year and might even have to cancel because of a drop in corporate sponsorship.
A bunch of queer folks on here were self-congratulating when corporations began pulling DEI initiatives b/c see, they knew corps weren't "real" supporters. I'm like: holy crap ofc corps blow whichever way the wind blows. The wind was finally blowing the right way and you're happy that's changed?
Marriage equality is good, and I have no idea what the hell neoliberalism is in this context. So many people believe that the most evil people to ever live are normie Democrats.
If I remember correctly, last time around we ended up selling to some third country, and then PRC bought it from them instead. Until PRC government decides the domestic cost of not importing canola is worth what they'd get in return, I'd wait. They already know from the Michaels we don't flinch.
Yeah, case in point: for a little while, he was questioning mRNA covid vaccines.
Here's a more sophisticated analysis: bsky.app/profile/erin...
These narcissists always talk about their rights, their freedoms, their enjoyment. They never give a thought about their responsibilities. Any inconvenience to them and the sky has fallen. Your house might get burned to the ground but that's a risk they're willing to take.
Imagine a Dem telling the Vampire Squid how it should run its own research. The headlines from the financial press would be so breathless they'd fucking pass out.
While there are a few folks who stuck to their principles, I think the only conclusion one can come to is that most GOP supporters of free enterprise were merely paying lip service, so they could use it as a rhetorical cudgel against Dems. They never believed in it, besides as a convenient tool.
It's a dog whistle so loud you can hear it on the Moon. First you have to know about the significance of the Bismarck in WWII. Then, knowing this, you CHOOSE to decorate your wall with a picture of it underway.

Biden specifically decided not to invite Elon to the White House for an EV event because Tesla is anti-union. Apparently, Elon took it personally which set off a whole chain of events. (Arguably, it was going to happen anyway.) But he & Harris stood up for organized labour and well, it was a loser.
No worries, gonna delete my comment now.
For ppl who don't know WWII history, you have to understand the new head of the BLS has a canvas painting of the Bismarck decorating his wall. Its sinking by the Royal Navy was a significant event in the war. They made a movie about it. You know that history & you CHOOSE to put that on your wall?

One of those, "don't hate the player, hate the game" moments that liberals absolutely have to win.
Walk into the library of any university. Spend a few minutes walking the aisles & pull out some random books. You'll realize the world is a fascinating place & no one can learn it all. But everyone can pick something, and you can trust them as they can trust you to know what you're talking about.
Dude got a scholarship from Soros and proceeded to...
Sabs is still #1 and Rad is getting better but is still not there yet.
This is the ambassador that replied entirely on a translator provided the Russians the first time he met them. I'm sure he'd be familiar with about the details like this and the way the Russians do things.
The folks who write this kind of stuff is so unnerving/infuriating because it always assumes fault is on the Dems for something the GOP does. Obama barely got watered down Obamacare to pass. And as if ppl weren't more concerned about a massive financial crisis + wars in Iraq/Afghanistan at the time.
Another piece from Jeremy Bowen that is worth your time. www.bbc.com/news/article...
It's crony capitalism. Something America used to criticize south east Asian countries for.
I think it goes back a lot longer than that. I've heard Israeli spokespeople - from military to civilian ambassadors say that on BBC World interviews from at least around maybe 2004. It went away after a while and they stopped using it years ago.
And the lady who found it was nicknamed Mouldy Mary.
really feels like housing affordability is one of the most important political issues of our time, affecting nearly every aspect of our lives, and everyday our mainstream political discourse is about whether sour cream is woke or not
That's got to be an error. There is no way it went to zero.

I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible
Did you tell @jmcelroy.bsky.social
Harris had the gall to buy a pan.
"We just want to protect girls and women."
Honestly, respect to my man to never selling out and groveling for mercy. He held the line as long as he could and didnāt mince words doing it. May we all prove as worthy should we be tested.
