Twitter Migration 2022. Mom. Masked. Avid reader. Hugger.

Here for news #canpoli, #USpoli, #onpoli, #onted, #leafsforever. Health. Science. Tech. Global issues. Sports. Pop culture. And good/bad reality TV. And LOTR. And WoT. And to interact with decent human beings.

Oh, and anything #pokemongo or #TOTK related, thanks to my kid.

So, pretty much anything and everything. Always ready and willing to learn, and laugh.

"... will fly forever, consumes no battery, powered entirely by Link, and uses no despawning parts whatsoever." 🤯 - It's mind-bending to think that TOTK has been out for less than two months, and yet we're already seeing such inventions. I'm in awe. redd.it/14p5ar4/

The sheer area of Canadian forest that is burning, and the number of people who are affected is mind boggling.

Canada wildfire smoke chokes millions in North America

A deep orange-brown sun shined through hazy skies as smoke from Canadian wildfires spread across North America and beyond, choking millions of people and triggering severe air quality alerts.

Towels for tonight. ‘#LeafsForever’

Hmm, deadly fungal infections are worse now.
Hmm, flu and RSV were bad this year.
Hmm, cardiac events are climbing.
Hmm, STD rates are rising.
Hmm, plane near-misses are rising.
Hmm, student absentee rates are rising.
Hmm, disability rates are climbing.
I'm sure that's all due to a set of random & unrelated factors and not because we're pretending a rapidly mutating virus that reinfects people frequently and damages brains, hearts and immune systems isn't continuing to spread.

#COVID19 😡 🙄 😷

No, no, no, God damnit, Washington Post, this is not a "new normal." The point you should be making is just how abnormal this is. But instead you quite literally normalize the criminal running for president.

Trump campaign prepares for ‘new normal’: Running under indictment

The former president’s team is pressuring other Republicans to show support. But advisers privately acknowledged many potential risks.

Pardon the Politics post, but how are Ford and his cronies bragging about hiring nurses and doctors yet still not alleviating health care wait times and improving infrastructure?

They keep talking about spending money yet services haven't improved. Or have I missed something?

There are over 510M square kilometers of area, but <30% is covered by land. Over 70% is the ocean.

There are 510 million km² of area on the Earth, but less than 30% of this is land. Here's the share countries make up of the Earth's surface.

Kinda funny that Twitter melted down again with major ON breaking news, but: the province's highest court finds that the Ford govt's campaign spending law managed to be so unconstitutional not even the notwithstanding clause could save it. https://coadecisions.ontariocourts.ca/coa/coa/en/item/21269/index.do
