T. Ryan Gregory @tryangregory.bsky.social: Carney: "Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security." Canadians: "No we f*cking do not!" The polling after this will be interesting for sure. Kamala Harris @kamalaharris.com : Donald Trump is dragging the United States into a war the American people do not want. Let me be clear: I am opposed to a regime-change war in Iran, and our troops are being put in harm’s way for the sake of Trump’s war of choice.
Interesting timeline order here:
All over LinkedIn. Reasonable ideas fluffed up with that same cadence and lacking all personality, and when the poster replies to a comment without the LLM assistant using their own voice it's much better. People need to have confidence in their own capabilities.

Thank you, College St is my commute! I've been taking the subway instead of college streetcar because so many vehicles keep parking over the rails.
On-street parking on Bloor St. has been clear of snow for six days while snow makes the bike lane unusable. Excess snow should be dumped in the on-street parking spots. Prioritize movement of people, not storage of private property on a public road.

No spoilers!
To continue with my longer Zone 2 ride, I added episode 7 of Star Wars: Andor season 1: "Announcement". It's right after the heist episode, and announces all of the ramifications of the heist, the retaliation of the Empire and the beginnings of the rebel uprising. Very fitting /3
