And it's crazy that Iran keeps scoring direct hits on US and Israeli bases, with no reported casualties (until 10 days later, when it's - oh yeah... btw we evacuated 30 people to Landstuhl to have their legs chopped off - or to be put in a padded room for life because their brain is jello).

This level of propaganda and censorship in this war isn't normal. Iran is apparently an open book by comparrison. Stub a toe, it's in the casualty reports. Yet there are 50 pics of grieving families in Israel, and 13 reported dead (and many more journalists reported harassed, warned, etc).

That's very effective, I legit totally get the difference now.

Based on the social media videos, AI-ran seems to be beating the crap out of Isr-AI-l so far in the war.

I'm uploading JSON files to my app's 2.0 deployment (launching March 20th) and some very cool data is emerging from it - like the current financial state of Attawapiskat for instance... once the comparable are switched on, it'll say even more. We're at knowledgekeepr.ca if you're interested.

(Preface: I don't support the opening of the Iranian front in World War III) BUT when we talk Canadian involvement, it is a major oversight to not mention Iran killing 50+ Canadians and 30+ PRs just 5 years ago. Surely at least one of them was a hockey player, so the media should care more.

In Gulf War 1, Iraq did this in Baghdad as a defensive tactic to blind coalition planes and satellites. When they did it in Kuwait we called it ‘environmental terrorism’ and documented health effects on the troops fighting in it.

Gas prices were $1.809 here yesterday. Highest it’s been since the carbon tax.

Just noting that so I can repost this in 2 weeks with a ‘lol - remember when we thought $1.80 was expensive?’

100% FYI: I was at IH in Heliopolis (and then all the places they assigned me to). Didn't get to China, but was about to go to Russia (even studied the language), before I got a better offer in Italy.

Americans Oppose Iran War Escalation YouTube video by NowThis Impact

Once upon a time I was a school teacher in the Middle East, and in Europe and in Canada, and I saw firsthand that people are ***exactly*** the same everywhere. So, I keep thinking about this ad when I'm watching the Iran/Lebanon news: youtube.com/shorts/4luhy...

Some people, esp. from the left, work with Indigenous people and think they own them. And if they 'go off the reservation' and do something they don't agree with, they're singled out for things that non-Native people do, and aren't targeted for. And that's why Natives don't work with them anymore.

Walked past this dead guy (paramedics were there) - ghost white, on his back on the pavement (not a rare sight in Vancouver), and what shocked me is that parents with their school kids were walking by, and they let the kids climb to the top of this grass bump to look down at the body.

The term "eliminated" - used for killing a person, even a bad person, is psychopath talk. And I get why combatants use it, they have to dehumanize their opponents - just like the Ukrainians called Russians "orks". But if you can't hear air raid sirens over your house, you should show some restraint.

Over on Threads someone asked what movie you'd watch with Jesus. Mine are:

1. Weekend at Bernie's - because... you know. Christianity.
2. Watership Down - which is how I see Jesus at his best.
3. Joe vs the Volcano - because I want to turn Christ into an existentialist.

Iran attacked Israel in retaliation for the killing of Hezbollah's Nasrallah. Hezbollah attacked Israel - it says - in retaliation for the killing of Iran's Khamenei. And I've yet to find a news report that connects those two facts - instead they're getting all mercurial about motivation.

Worth noting that on a different website, multiple ABC Vancouver officials follow accounts that post constantly about how Sean Orr is a terrible human being and make all sorts of unproven claims, including one account that creates AI videos of Orr doing all sorts of illegal or evil acts

Fun fact: Jack Hughes is the name of the lead singer of Wang Chung, who chose that name as a play on: J'accuse. I felt it was very important that everyone know that.

Ok but in fairness, what I's has that BA succeeded in championing? I've lived and worked in that neighbourhood off and on since 1994 and it's only got worse (except for a blip between 2015 and 2019).

Not posted much lately - couple deaths in the family recently (you don’t need to do condolences). So spent a lot of time working and the rest at the seaside watching marine life.
