A former marine choked an unhoused black man, Jordan Neely. Neely had been asking for food & water while apparently having a mental health situation. He was choked for 15 minutes. He died from being choked.
The former marine killed Jordan Neely.
These are the NYT headlines.

They can cynically change their Twitter handle to ‘Ontario Place for Everyone’, but @ThermeCanada isn’t here to build a public park for everyone. They’re here to take a public park - and public money - and build a massive indoor private spa for those who pay admission.
This report brings us one step closer to creating a revitalized Ontario Place for everyone, so let’s go through it together: tinyurl.com/bd9vjtux

BREAKING: The Biden Administration today is turning over an area of the Gulf the size of Italy to the oil and gas industry as our planet continues to burn. Really bad move.
The so-called "Climate President" is moving us to the edge of disaster.

This International Women’s Day, let’s remember that most of the people who make your clothes - from Shein to haute couture - are women, and their work should be valued and respected.

TTC fare evasion fine: $235 - $425.
Average Toronto parking fine: $30 - $50.
We need to consider the equity impacts of resuming ticketing on the TTC. Our focus right now should be on improving service, accessibility and reliability of our transit system.
NEW: The TTC will resume ticketing for fare evasion in March in the hopes of boosting its revenue by $6M.
The agency says it's necessary for cashflow amid dwindling ridership - but advocates warn of equity implications and the need to prioritize service.

Me: what's your favorite part of The Good Book?
Pastor: the return of the King at the end
Me: oh yeah, me too. I also love when the wizard who died comes back to life
Pastor: I wouldn't call Jesus a "wizard"
Me: I was talking about Gandalf. What book are YOU talking about?

I've often seen a Red-tailed Hawk in the north tower of The Beresford overlooking the Park, but today I saw two (Fred and Ginger?). Love the juxtaposition with the cherubs. #birdcpp

Billionaires don't wake up at 5am. Bus drivers, teachers, nurses, service workers, etc wake up at 5am. Billionaires wake up whenever they want because their wealth doesn't come from their own labor. It comes from the labor of people who will never be billionaires.
