Is it just a random chance #coincidence that our Sun & Moon have the same apparent size, or that when our Moon totally eclipses our Sun as a result of this alleged "coincidence" the #TotalSolarEclipse looks like the pupil & iris of an "eye of God"?

Unitarians aka #UnitarianUniversalists are SO much more progressive than Catholics that they (somewhat inadvertently) deemed #UUpedophiles & #UUrapists to be sacred & holy to #UnitarianUniversalism in 2012. 🤣😇

In 1492, a meteorite crashed near Rome. Locals panicked — but Pope Innocent VIII blessed it, declaring it a sign of God’s power. It’s still in the Vatican collection. The Church literally has a pet space rock. ☄️🙏 #History #StrangeButTrue

Meteorite impact flash on night side of🌙! Was observed from home at 4:20:18.9 Oct 18, 2025. Since🌙has no atmos, cannot be seen,& glows only when a crater is formed.Considering impact area, it may be related to Orionid meteor shower, which peaks on Oct 21

If the supermoon wasn’t enough, October is treating skygazers to another celestial delight – the peak of the Orionid meteor shower.

FYI Park-Ex aka Park Extension is a district of Montréal, not a park.

Tout ce texte 👌 "Cette grand-messe du carbone coïncide avec une grève des transports collectifs qui immobilise la ville. Image parfaite de notre époque : les riches tournent en rond, à toute vitesse, pendant que le reste de la population attend l’autobus pour joindre les deux bouts."

Craig Sauvé n'est pas responsable pour le fait que #ValériePlante & #ProjetMontréal ont aliener les vrais gauchistes & progressistes.

Il n'est même pas fondateur de #TransitionMontréal.

Vous pouvez blâmer "l'homme de la situation" pour la shituation actuelle.

As a #Montréal resident who was forced to use its #BikeLane system thanks to the transit strike, I can tell you there are serious problems with not only the #BikeLanes themselves, but the significant percentage of problematic reckless #cyclists who ride dangerously.

Do you seriously expect Luc Rabouin & #ProjetMontréal to somehow "unite" with Craig Sauvé & #TransitionMontréal to defeat Soroya Martinez Ferrada & #EnsembleMontréal on November 2nd?

I wouldn't worry too much about #BikeLanes.

An audit is reasonable & will take place in the winter.

Any & ALL parts of Montréal's #BikeLane system are "potentially problematic and UNsafe areas" for both #cyclists & #pedestrians thanks to the significant percentage of reckless cyclists & scooter riders who (mis)use our #BikeLanes.

Before Valérie Plante quit, I expected the 2025 election would be an anti-Plante election, just as the 2017 & 2021 elections were anti-Coderre elections.

I think Ensemble Montréal made a HUGE mistake making Denis Coderre its mayoralty candidate in 2021.

Les municipalités ont des pouvoirs en protection des locataires vulnérables et du parc locatif. Il est temps d'avoir le courage de les utiliser.

🚨 Prince Andrew just gave up his Duke of York title—not out of remorse, but because Epstein’s name is back in the headlines.

No apology. No accountability. Just a royal rebrand as the heat turns up.

They’re protecting the crown, not the victims.

He gave it all to someone he never met

Oh the grand old Duke of York

He used to be a duke. . .

He mucked things up to the ire of the King,

And he mucked them up again.
