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

It’s Friday March 13 again just like it was in 2020 but that’s not spooky when compared to the fact that we’ve 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

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.

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of β€œhighly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” 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.

We need a political movement in Canada that runs on a platform of following science 🧬 over vibes πŸ’« 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 β€œthere must be something going around” on a weekly basis for years and trying to decide if you wanna remind them it’s 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.

Spanish PM Pedro SΓ‘nchez on Iran: β€œSpain 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.

The American government telling their troops that they invaded Iran to bring about the rapture is terrifying. I don’t think the media should move on from that when they’ve 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.

World at War: Canada Must Speak Up On the first day of the Iran war, they bombed a school and murdered 165 children, seriously injuring 95 more.

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.

2. Please stand up to large accounts that minimize this illness & who dunk on disabled folks

TRUMP, IRAN & CARNEY - WORLD AT WAR!!!
TRUMP, IRAN & CARNEY - WORLD AT WAR!!! YouTube video by Charlie Angus

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.

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 aren’t very smart anymore.
