The Elitest Elitist

The original estimate for costs was $2.8B. We can’t go on like this. How is there is little scrutiny over the exploding costs of infrastructure in Ontario? Taxpayers are getting absolutely fleeced. At what point do have an inquiry?

One of the stupidest constants among dumbasses who think they're smart is the idea that the most correct answer is always the centre point between two opposing ideas. Zero critical thinking required! And somehow they think this makes their ideas superior? Wild shit

need everybody liking & retweeting this to know that the monster mash is genuinely unironically my favorite song of all time

If I were Brad, the message in the days/weeks to come will be that this was the dry run for 2030 when Nate Erskine-Smith and Mike Layton split the left. Brad ran a great, positive campaign for #Toronto and he almost pulled off what would’ve been a historic defeat of an incumbent.

To those who seek to create positive change in Cuba - now is the time. The disappointment of failed promises, corruption, and the privileged lives of only a few; seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discrete partnership with the CIA.

This was my Picard/3 lights moment 5th grade the teacher gave us this question Everyone except me got it wrong, including her She got the whole class to "explain" it to me Math is just logic, there is no ambiguity, I could not see their answer Then she assigned a girl to take me aside and lecture me Most Soviet experience of my life, including my north Korea trip At parent/teacher conference she told my folks that she thought about it later that night and realized I was right Never said anything to me or apologized in front of the class In a free society she would have been put against the wall for doing what she did to a kid

What is the oldest political news story you can remember? For me it's Joe Biden being selected as Obama's VP.

He’ll still have a food truck. It just won’t be capital. What’s wrong with that?

Me: "Do you know how many times you've tweeted about Piker since you wrote that tweet [about not tweeting about him] on August 30th?" @mattyglesias: "Probably more than I intended to." Me: "8 times.... you tweeted about Mike Rogers 6 times. So you're tweeting about the streamer you didn't want to talk about more than the Republican candidate you say you want to defeat." Yglesias: "Yeah, that's fair." Me: "Why?" Yglesias: "What do you want me to say? You got me." From my new Zeteo interview with the top centrist pundit - on the left, Michigan, Gaza, immigration, polls, electability, and more: zeteo.com/p/matt-yglesias-me…

As a preview of how serious this is: One of the men claims they were underage… and the Senator filmed them.

long covid is hilarious because all the evidence we have says that it exists and not only does it exist but it’s extremely widespread and serious and yet we collectively refuse to acknowledge this reality because the bottom would fall out of the stock market if we did

Thinking about if Dennis Dixon never got injured in the 2007 season

Unpopular Opinion: If we can’t openly and calmly — without character assassination attempts and smears — talk about whether a gubernatorial candidate or her mother is the one lying, then we have a massive problem. Court records exist if there was a conviction for abuse. Cases involving custody often involve abuse and other grotesque claims — somewhere in the ballpark of 50 percent of contested divorces and custody cases. Family law attorneys routinely brief and coach their clients on how to gain an advantage using carefully crafted stories and constructed claims — there’s always a victim and a villain on both sides of the story. If we cannot talk about that without being guilted, shamed or defamed when we’re not the ones in the story (here, Acton, her brother, father, mother and stepfather), we are doing it wrong and have no legitimate claim to “vetting” the history or present M.O. of a candidate. This is not a claim that dropped 15 days before an election. Donna Arthur said all of this on the record in June 2020 — six years ago — when her daughter was Ohio’s health director, not a candidate for governor. She disputed the hardship story then. She said then that her daughter learned early that lying worked. She said then that she worried Amy was positioning herself for higher office. Acton resigned from ODH eight days after that interview published. AND LET’S BE VERY CLEAR HERE: The people saying they’re offended by this — David Pepper, the Acton campaign, the Democrats, progressives and even Republicans — publish accusatory propaganda all the time about the people and movements they identify as their ideological opponents. Candidates and campaigns routinely try to smear private citizens — Acton’s camp in particular, several times this cycle (both directly and indirectly). The difference here is that Acton is not a private citizen. She is a candidate who has been caught in several lies in this campaign alone. So I ask: What’s the standard?
