The United States will lose. It is not trying to win in the first place. It is simply trying to ensure that the whole world loses.

It was $60ish a barrel in January. It’s $114 right now.

Experts anticipate $150/barrel, or 250% of the price it was in January, before summer.

Way to go, America. Thanks. Really gonna be great having everything even more expensive. Good job.

Carney continues to try to hedge his bets, even though the US Empire is obviously crumbling

I wish more ads still said "write to (...insert name here...) for particulars."

Photo of a newspaper clipping: “holidays in war time. Theres no need to use your car, gasoline, or rubber to reach Qualicum Beach. Come by train and enjoy the warm sands, golfing, and hiking”

I love this 1940s ad for a holiday at Qualicum Beach. With war time restrictions on gas, rubber, metals, etc, staying on the Island and taking the train was a great option.

Anyway, we don’t have a train anymore.

Anyone who eats the horse shit narrative that USA or Israel aim to “Liberate Iran” or “liberate Iranian women”

Exh fucking A of how wrong they are.

This footnote just mentions Jeremy Bentham in passing and says on one short sentence how his remains are still sitting in a chair on display at University College London. WHAT?! Are you serious? Oh yes. I went down that rabbit hole immediately. 3/3

Well! In the very FIRST chapter I learned about an Englishman named John Wilkerson who jumped out of an iron coffin to surprise his female visitors. AND THEN, in the second chapter, one of the footnotes mentions Jeremy Bentham. 2/3

So I picked up "The Perfectionists" by Simon Winchester because someone passed it on to us and I thought to myself, "reading about the history of precision engineering will surely lull me to sleep at night." 1/3

I am sickened by this news. Alarm bells have been going off about AI corporations since they launched — their lack of accountability is untenable.

The government must step in with regulations. In the immediate, a rigorous investigation into OpenAI and a moratorium on AI data centres in BC. #bcpoli

This looks like such a joyful celebration!

Tonight was the first time I was actually able to throw in some arm shapes with the steps. I was so happy that I'd actually *learned* something. Visualization helped! I didn't practice during the week, just visualized.

Learning sevillanas in our beginner Flamenco class. I have taken this same class and tried to learn the same dance exactly a year ago at this time, and now, a year later, I might be starting to actually get it, a little bit. #flamenco #sevillanas

'the economy' is just the three worst dudes on earth stacked inside a trenchcoat stealing everyone else's money

There just isn't an infinite amount.

Trying to put into words this feeling of everything continuing to be more: more time, more work, more food, more money... When there isn't actually more time/energy/space/dollars. How to explain that the world is finite without succumbing to a scarcity mindset. There is enough.

🚨Hidden austerity is still austerity🚨

Corporations and billionaires are the winners of the BC NDP budget, while working people are forced to foot the bill.

Eby’s cuts abandon $10-a-day childcare, cancels public housing, and puts thousands of public servants out of work.

I'm the Eric Perkins of dance classes. Eventually, if I just keep showing up, I might improve. #NeverHaveIEver

I've been binge watching Never Have I Ever and it's so good 😭❤️

I'm almost 44 and full of rage. I'm sure those two things are related somehow.

Frog and Toad sit close together, asleep in the dark. From "A List" In *Frog and Toad Together*

Toad wrote on the ground with a stick: Go to Sleep.

Then he crossed out: Go to Sleep.

“There,” said Toad. “Now my day is all crossed out!”

“I am glad,” said Frog. Then Frog and Toad went right to sleep.
