Every game that Rank officiates has terrible calls. That should have been GI

This is the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA). There is no complicated math: they ask you to subtract a single digit number from a 2-digit number less than 100, and do it 5 times in a row. You can see an example below. Either he's lying, he thinks it's hard, or he forgot the question.

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

I have a different subtype of Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia and I really feel for this kid and his parents. HSP is so much worse when someone is diagnosed in childhood and it often is misdiagnosed as Cerebral Policy. With no cure, HSP needs more awareness, research and treatments.

In honor of a judge halting Trump's ballroom construction today:

Trans Day of Visibility is tomorrow. #TDOV #ProtectTheDolls

Michael Dunahee has been missing for almost as long as I've been alive. I hope his parents are able to find out what happened to him in their lifetime.

The plane crash last night was horrific. Sending so much love and prayers to everyone affected. My dad worked for Air Canada for 27 years and had his pilots license. Every crash is tragic, but this one hits close to home. May the injured heal quickly and the dead rest in peace.

Khamenei was evil and I'm glad he's gone, but this whole affair is descending the middle east into pure chaos. My heart breaks for all the innocent civilians and American troops that will lose their life. When will governments learn that hate begets hate and violence begets violence

Generally I like Carney, but I hope he doesn't drag Canada into this war. We've already been through several wars aiming for regime change, and it never works. The UK is allowing their bases to be used and I hope Carney draws a line in the sand and refuses any help for this illegal war

Fact checkers must be exploding from all the lies tonight

It's uplifting to see the British go after Andrew. Anyone who broke the law in their relationship with Epstein needs to he held fully accountable. It's so rare that a rich, powerful white man faces real consequences. May he be the first of many and may the victims recieve real justice.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

This is brilliant. I'm so grateful for this testimony. I've transcribed it to use in letters I'm writing. Sharing the full transcription here (see alt text to copy/paste it):

Jon Stewart on the latest Epstein dump, the lack of accountability, and how the real sanctuary cities in America are "where money and power protect you from the consequences of sex trafficking"

What's next? Are they going to charge reporters with arson if they film a fire? Charge murder the next time and anchor reports from the scene of a shooting?

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?

IMMORAL… This drawing was made by one of the 5 year old El Gamal twins. It shows children behind bars with the caption, “I’m 5 years old.” An immigration judge denied them bond, citing “insufficient assets.” These children could remain in detention for years while their case is appealed.

This little cutie wants to spend every moment outside and refuses to come in without a bribe.

If anyone reading this is a doctor or nurse and can't stand what America has become, please look into immigrating to Canada. Canada has cut a lot of red tape and needs doctors and nurses. We have lots of programs that will help you move, find work and practice in a truly free country.

As a Canadian and as a human being, I wish I could do something to help those who have been targeted by ICE. I can't express how much I admire the brave men and women who are protesting ICE, regardless of how dangerous it can be. Fuck Trump, fuck DHS and fuck ICE.

I'm so sick of this narcissist piece of shit slander every other country while he decimates his own. The entire world is laughing at Trump and he's too stupid to realize it. I still can't understand how so many Americans voted for him when they had a much more qualified and sane option.

Part of me hopes he tries to invade Greenland so that NATO can go after him. I would love to see what happened to Maduro happen to Trump. He just can't fathom that anyone could win a war without the American support.

If citizens of Canada or Greenland or Venezuela wanted to be American, we'd move to the US. We don't - we love our countries the same way Americans love theirs. Shit, most Americans don't even want to be in the US anymore, so leave us alone and focus on your own mess.

Friendly reminder that it's rude to ask a stranger why they have a mobility aid

Officer 1: “Get out of the car!” <simultaneously> Officer 2: “Get out of here!” The confusion is not surprising. The shooting officer had his phone out too. This deserves a clear and fair investigation

“Each act, each occasion, is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join with you in resisting somehow.” — Milton Meyer, They Thought They Were Free

Every day I think it can't get any worse or more stupid. Then I wake up and learn I'm wrong. It's incredible how quickly the US has turned into a fascist authoritarian state.

The videos are crystal clear for any adult who is unwilling to lie through their teeth: ICE murdered that woman when she presented no credible threat to them. She did not drive at them. She did not compromise their safety. That was a summary execution of a U.S. citizen.

1. Maduro is not a good guy by any stretch of the imagination. 2. But capturing him through an extra-legal action that violates international law undermines any US credibility with Russia in Ukraine and China with Taiwan. 3. We have a terrible history with topping leaders without a post-war plan.

Great that Maduro is gone but what’s next? This may not be the end of a regime that’s lasted through both Chavez/Maduro/their henchmen. Also what do China/ Russia conclude from this for their regions? What’s clear: *The ends can’t justify the means. *You cannot break the law to enforce the law.

Hate begets hate. It doesn't matter if its racism or sexism or antisemitism or Islamophobia or homophobia, that hate spreads and infects everyone around you. We need to chose love, compassion and empathy everywhere we can.

Mamdani easily had the best acceptance speech I've ever heard.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

As individuals, there's so little we can do to stop these corporations from censoring free speech but we can stop giving them our business and hurt them in the pocketbook. Look up all their associated companies and boycott all of them. These companies need to stop bending the knee.

Do whatever you can to let ABC and their related companies know how unhappy you are with their decision to pull Kimmel. Cancel your Disney+, Hulu or Sling, find other channels to watch, avoid anything Sinclair or Nexstar and boycott them. They need our money and our eyes to be successful.

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

ABC should be ashamed of themselves for suspending Kimmel. I'm so tired of hearing the republicans be supportive of free speech until someone says something they don't like. Kimmel and Colbert are being punished because they aren't republican, simple as that.

Political violence is never okay, regardless of how much you disagree with the victim. Any and all violence in any form, should be condemned. I'm a progressive liberal and don't agree with much of what Kirk has said and done, but I would never cheer the death of anyone.

Fuck yeah! Liberal government has been called!!!

Desperately hoping my fellow Canadians make the right choice and vote Liberal. If Pollievre wins, Canada loses.

Ultimately, the most important thing is to avoid a conservative government headed by Pollievre. I'll be voting for Carney to avoid Northern Trump

So far, Singh has been the most well spoken while avoiding acting like an asshole. It's too bad the NDP has such a small following, because he would be a great PM

It's completely useless to ask a fellow candidate a question and then speak over their answer.
