    The Tarriff Hype.

    The tariffs kicked in at midnight, after being delayed four times in four months — a chaotic period of big announcements and brash Truth Social posts as world leaders raced to Washington to try to stave off measures that could damage businesses in their countries and slow the global economy...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    "The U.S. tariff hike lacks logic," Dammu Ravi, secretary of economic relations in India's foreign ministry, told reporters. "This is a temporary aberration, a temporary problem that the country will face, but in course of time, we are confident that the world will find solutions." India is...

    Only by the Can. Average is a bit under $20/can at this point that I’ve seen anyway, or at least that I’m willing to pay anyway.

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Nope. Can’t be. Maybe the Israelis just think they’re intercepting millions of calls and texts daily by Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank of the Jordan River, but it’s really just telemarketers in India and the Philippines, & maybe Nigeria….To the point where storage space is problematic.😁...

    It is kind of funny. Like a demented tennis match….Maybe more like psychedelic ping-pong.

    How? Through increased surveillance of Russian and Chinese ships as they drag their anchors over under sea cables that they already know Russia & China are doing? (YouTube & Is Russia's shadow fleet secretly destroying underwater cables?) {They’re gonna watch Russia so hard it’ll just not...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    As U.S. tariffs on Brazilian goods jumped to 50% on Wednesday (same as India’s), Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told Reuters in an interview that he saw no room for direct talks now with U.S. President Donald Trump that would likely be a "humiliation." Brazil is not about to...

    SARS‑CoV‑2 (COVID-19)

    Depends what you’re trying to cure or protect against? Let’s say it was for cystic fibrosis? Imagine over the course of a couple generations, those that have the carrier status being able to just get an immunization shot and a booster, & then they can’t pass that shitty disease onto their...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    Employees, from police officers to tax officials, often receive an encrypted message on their own phones or their spouses' instructing them to go to a specific location at a specific time to "meet a friend for tea". At the meeting point, the employee is approached by a man - or occasionally a...

    That’s an hour+ long YouTube video. Is she the whole thing (?) or where does she start & stop? In post 5723 I mean. Lunch break is only just so long.

    Trudeau announces Amira Elghawaby as Canada's first representative to combat Islamophobia

    Complaints by members of a Canadian media union over a public statement on dangers faced by on-the-ground journalists in Gaza prompted a quick edit that didn’t blame only Israel for the crisis.😳 The Canadian Media Guild (CMG), a trade union representing 6,000 Canadian media workers, issued a...

    UNRWA. It's like this...

    Last April, the National Post gained exclusive access to Israeli intelligence — the same intelligence shared with the PMO — showing UNRWA employees and teachers moonlighting as senior members of Palestinian terror groups, and even taking an active role in the Oct. 7 terror attacks. Facilitated...

    That’s a lot of mouths, & have gotten a discount since the parking kerfuffle in Ottawa, & it sounds like there’s going to be an over supply of crude (sudden decrease in refining capacity) from Russia, so maybe even some steeper discounts….? Russia plans to increase exports from its western...

    Happy Enola Gay Day!

    For emphasis. Showed that the first one wasn’t a freak one-off occurrence, & that if you had two, you might have many many many many many many more.

    Hamas attacks Israel

    This is a war (couple of them actually) zone over there. Not just the physical war., but also the propaganda war, it will take time (maybe even decades) to sort out the bullshit from the other bullshit…& from the outside looking in it looks like Israel might be winning the physical war, but...

    Bill’s C-10 & C-11. If we aren’t talking about it already, shouldn’t we be?

    Prime Minister Mark Carney suggested Tuesday he is considering substituting or rescinding the Online News Act to ensure local news is disseminated wider and faster two years after Meta banned access to news on its platforms. Asked if his government is considering an alternative to the Online...
