In Star Trek people often complain that replicated food is not as good as naturally produced food, which is weird when replicators are presumably using the same technology as transporters, which can perfectly replicate Spock every time. But is Spock getting less flavoursome over time? In this essay,

Massachusettes "Millionaires Tax", which was targeted to fund transportation and education, has been a resounding success. It has funded FREE school lunch for ALL students, FREE buses in lowest income communities (people can get to work, etc.), and FREE community college. And "exodus" was minimal.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

I see the CanLII.org logo now hints at their 25th anniversary. CanLII was founded on July 3, 2001, an important public access service for many people. Many rulings of Canadian courts and administrative bodies are available on CanLII. 🎉 Happy Belated 25th Birthday CanLII! 🎂

And then there was Jimmy Two Times, who got that nickname because he said everything twice, so he'd been saying "get the papers" for most of his life, cause every time he said it twice he had to say both of those twice, and so on, which made it tricky for people to tell him apart from Tony Ten Times
