Once you master the analog clock, you just need a fraction of a second to glance at it and see the placement of the hands to know the time.

And all the wasted energy because of the purposeful enshitification of Google. I used to be able find an answer 1st try. Now, I have to bypass the AI summary that is wrong or too basic 50% of the time, and I’m forced into multiple searches. They made it bad to increase engagement and advertising $.

The tub is oddly short. AI forgot to account for legs.

As much as I despise the man, I think he was suggesting that the Democrats rigged the 2020 election, pushing his second term 4 years later, resulting in him being president during these games.

20 Lessons on Tyranny: by Timothy Snyder / read by John Lithgow
YouTube video by PoliticsGirl 20 Lessons on Tyranny: by Timothy Snyder / read by John Lithgow

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgentβ€”and it needs to be shared far and wide.

The Americans have been so worried that they decreased their bases from 3 to 1, and only have 150 people stationed there.

I don’t think we could even consider that in the current climate. Trump could use our β€œannexation” of Point Roberts as a reason to tariff or invade.

Even though it has almost 2.2 million views, if you want to Google the video you will need to use the whole title, and then still scroll down. It is being buried by the Google algorithm.

What are 'freedom cities'? Billionaire CEOs' plan could reshape America A coalition of "startup nations" have met with the Trump administration in order to create areas of the U.S. free from regulation.

The oligarchs’ plans for β€œFreedom Cities” made it into an old school/mainstream publication.
Trump openly suggested starting 10 of these back in March of 2023. www.newsweek.com/freedom-citi...

To add, more than 40,000 Canadians served in Afghanistan as a NATO ally in support of the US.

It is foreseeable, that in retaliation, the US will likely toll transport trucks heading to Canada from Mexico. This would hurt Canadians immensely at the grocery stores, where we are already trying to find alternatives to US grown food.

I don’t think this idea is well thought out as it would very likely lead to the US applying tolls on Mexican trucks heading to Canada.

Except the US never gave Ukraine $350 billion in support, making this demand so predatory, especially without a security guarantee. β€œThe amount the U.S. has spent on Ukraine varies depending on what’s being counted, but most estimates are in the $175 billion to $185 billion range” (PBS).

In Canada: PCR monitoring is done on dead chickens in hot zones, results same day. No current treatment or immunization.
Once in a chicken barn, it is obvious and spreads quickly, with close to 100% mortality. Quick euthanasia of whole barn is considered good animal husbandry to reduce suffering.

I think it would be better if they kept chanting β€œfuck Trump”, that way it would be directed away from the players and toward the real target.

As much as there is schadenfreude in seeing the results of FAFO, you need to get these people to come into the fold and join in the resistance and protests. You will not succeed in saving your democracy if you remain divided.

I really wish there was a way to pay a small fee to read an article without having to subscribe.

Or maybe one payment that allows you access to pick and choose, as you go, a set number of articles per month from multiple sources.

As a Canadian, I don’t want to pay for multiple US news sources.
