No, no, no. Canadians: reject this US-style division and antagonism. We have differences in politics & governance. But we don't demonize our opposition and divide our nation. We work together to fix problems. We solve them together. We win together. No to #cowardofthecottage

@rakchazak74 @AOC if you "love Jesus" then tell the truth her party "does nothing but stoke the fires of racial tension?" that's a lie, and you know it fixing racial injustice requires change. if you experience that change as racial tension, then perhaps you're a beneficiary of that injustice

Seriously Seattle!?! Kraken? Kraken? That is a horrible name for an ice hockey team ... almost as bad as "Mighty Ducks" was for Anaheim. (It was since changed to just "Ducks.") Seattle Sockeye would have been MUCH better ... Kraken would work for eSports, not the NHL.

Be a data omnivore. Don’t get trapped in a reality bubble. Don’t assume official narratives are correct. Don’t assume fringe accounts are right. Know that reality is a many-sided coin. Understand that to the immature and unsophisticated, their side of the coin is all that exists.

Ouch ouch ouch ouch .... Anyone can make a mistake ... but this one was made in front of tens of millions. Yes, $500M divided by 327 million people is about $1.59 per American. So they were off by a factor about 625,000. I repeat ... ouch.

@adryenn There is no way we can just automatically believe anyone who claims something. We definitely need to take accusations seriously, and not punish people who stand up and make them. But we cannot let anyone and everyone's reputation be destroyed without some level of certainty.
