Someone should be claiming it was Mossad that leaked Steve “Shit for brains” Witkoff’s phone call just for giggles.

Watching the Leafs this season i conclude that Mitch Marner was responsible for >90% of their assists

They look like shit - just aimless. There’s no aggression or incisive skating. Beurgh.

Shooter right by White House. I dunno, maybe ban guns? Maybe??
Prediction of press coverage: the shooter is either a quiet shy person with whom we should have empathy (👨) or a dangerous far left terrorist (👨🏾) who should be executed immediately.

Since this keeps coming up.. You're really hungry and head to the Pizza shop - only one in town to serve food, but best damn pizza!

Issue is, they can't serve you a full pizza - only half a one. What do you do: (a) fuck it, no pizza for me! or (b) I'll take half a pizza.

What's it gonna be? 🍕💉

Incredible that anyone’s response to “Labour just lifted half a million kids out of abject poverty and we did not borrow to do that but paid for it with higher taxes on gambling and wealthy homeowners” is the Tory “thieving little bastards, let them starve, I want to pay less tax on my wealth”

$65B (billion) of healthcare funding in Ontario has gone missing.

Over five years, at least.

The Auditor General has no idea where it went, so it wasn't audited.

Oh, you didn't know?

That's #CdnMediaColludes doing a good job.

New: @theins.press saw the Witkoff-Dmitriev plan six months ago in draft form—except it was all Dmitriev. Bloomberg reports now Dmitriev told Ushakov he’d pass along a Russian plan and the Americans “can present it as their own”: theins.press/en/politics/...
Made in Moscow: The “U.S. peace plan” for Ukraine was substantially formulated months ago by Kremlin operative Kirill Dmitriev
Since it was first published on Nov. 20, the much-discussed 28-point plan for ending the war in Ukraine has borne all the signs of a Kremlin information operation. In fact, many of its most controvers...

Fantastic emotionally direct super interesting thread. Thank you!
I'm gonna tell you about a guy named Peter. He called for support often and it wasn't stupid stuff. But it was complex.

He drove a BMW. He was divorced. He was of course a sales person. Probably the most successful sales person in California and maybe the country.

He serviced the government.
You meet the users where they are to stop them doing the stupidest shit imaginable.

You have no idea how much this paid off. The number of infected media players people downloaded in the age before Windows Media Player had more than three codecs is unimaginable

Who knows if I saved the firm

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities.

Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise

Maybe I'm missing an important point, but the Ford gov's claim that "Landlords will lower rents if they can rent out more of their properties now that we've given them more power over tenants" feels like something you'd say if you'd never literally never heard of capitalism before in your life.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The central problem of all grant reviews is the numerical scoring and the absolute refusal of reviewers to use the range of scores. If I built a machine to measure ‘quality’ and the range of measurements was between 88 and 94 out of 100 from terrible to astounding, it would be an awful machine.

When it comes to modern war, Ireland is a high-value target: its waters on the western fringe of Europe contain three-quarters of all undersea cables in the northern hemisphere. Despite this, is unprotected and unprepared.

Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."
