Itβs very strange that many headlines today are a about war making petroleum more expensive rather than war killing people, harming people, destroying the environment.

Itβs Friday March 13 again just like it was in 2020 but thatβs not spooky when compared to the fact that weβve been living in the twilight zone for 4+ years as most of the world past tenses a pandemic that is still disabling and killing people. Your constant denial is spooky.
If you care about the COVID airborne transmission cover-up
you should read this.
TLDR: there was a COVID airborne transmission cover-up
here's today's post: "serial sexual predator celebrates womenβs history" β hilarity ensues.

Defense secretary openly states that a pro-Trump billionaire taking over a news network (following regulatory help from the administration) will result in coverage more favorable for the administration.
Unbelievable!!
"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of βhighly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democratβ while increasing the power of working-class men."
Just saying it right out loud now.

This little monster is a pathological liar.
This administration hates women and Democrats.
This one is a double whammy.
I hate how math is forced to continuously justify itself by its uses and it can't just be allowed to stand on its own.
Humans have done art for thousands of years because that's what humans do. It's the same with math. Humans reason about pretend things that don't matter, and that's okay.
Oh no, that's so sad - love and hugs to you all.
We need a political movement in Canada that runs on a platform of following science 𧬠over vibes π« on all things related to human & planetary health.
We need it more than ever in this era of misinformation, climate change, pandemics & global instability
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Working in a pandemic world is just listening to colleagues say βthere must be something going aroundβ on a weekly basis for years and trying to decide if you wanna remind them itβs covid or silently scream into the void again.
So the fact that we bombed a girls elementary school, while likely using AI for targeting, is going to be a major headline story dominating American news coverage when exactly?
The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.
That is fabulous news, Sarah!!
Disgusting behaviour from Canada's PM!

Spanish PM Pedro SΓ‘nchez on Iran: βSpain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse.

I am not a Texan. This is not my vote. But, damn, experience should tell you an evangelical straight white guy won't fight for you like Jasmine Crockett!
The American government telling their troops that they invaded Iran to bring about the rapture is terrifying. I donβt think the media should move on from that when theyβve given the justification that they are fighting a Holy War. At what point does someone step in and stop this insanity?
Trans people are under attack.
They are trying to make them going out in public illegal.
They are taking away their licenses.
If you cannot see that the moment you unpeople one demographic, you create a gray area for every other demographic, you're beyond hope.
Trans rights are human rights.
On day one of the war 165 children were murdered in a terror bombing of a school.
At one time such an atrocity would result in widespread condemnation.
Not any more.
We remain silent at our peril.

For Long Covid Awareness Month, sending love to everyone who has friends, family and/or partners who have no awareness that it's Long Covid Awareness Month
In honour of Long Covid Awareness Month, here are 2 asks for fellow Blueskyers
1. Wear an N95 in public to reduce transmission & in solidarity with the millions living with Long Covid
2. Please stand up to large accounts that minimize this illness & who dunk on disabled folks
π
Targeting schools and murdering children?
Par for the course for Israel.
Bombing cities to change the channel on Epstein? Such are the crimes of Trump.
But Carney?
He failed the world by giving these monsters the thumbs up.
He has repudiated Canada's stance at Davos.

Carney: Canada supports the United Statesβ¦
Canada: no, we fucking do not.
This!!
You know, Mr Prime Minister, you could have just said nothing. That might have been better.
I find it amazing that people watched Heated Rivalry, a show about two men who had to stay in the closet because hockey is so conservative somehow walked away with the impression that hockey was inclusive. People arenβt very smart anymore.
