We’ll examine how 28 Days Later (2002) and Kill List (2011) predicted the vote and how His House (2020) and Men (2022) dealt with the UK leaving the EU.

We still don't fully get why @tvo locked $17 𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒊𝒐𝒏 into investments just before it started negotiating with us. It's too bad VP of finance Jeff Hogan chose to leave TVO a day after we publicly revealed this. It would be good to have an experienced VP on hand to explain.

TVO tucked this $17,000,000 into an investment account. What’s it waiting to spend this money on? TVO should be using its funding on educational material.
Run TVO like it matters.

Loved this! Highly recommend seeing it on the big screen if you get the chance.

If I were a billionaire I would
• end world hunger
• ensure everyone has healthcare
• protect the environment
• pay @WainBright all the money for rights to her *stunning* memoir so @carriecoon (who I would also pay all the money to) could play her in either a miniseries/film
