I'd lower all the flags around the world for Jane Goodall.

In Latin America, home of the most corrupt and authoritarian democracies, politicians say that if you tell a lie enough times, their base will swallow it and some of it get stuck on the rest.
I have never seen a political movement or government where 100% of the rhetoric are lies!

Parallel reality!

The reaper over the Capitol... What is it? It seems like a threat to me.

And the white woman before her. And the white man before leaving office, and the black man before all three.
There have been plenty of warnings!

She's going to spend decades walking on a schedule wearing an orange suit. That is a poor choice.

Thank you, I actually have two, Yumi, my fluffy girl; and Bruce, the truly Halloweeny black cat.

I have a soft spot for the USA, after having lived there for a couple of years. What you're going through is not representative of the USA that I know. Stay strong, fight, you're still our friend and neighbor.

And we're being infected. The leader of the opposition and his party, the premier of Alberta and a few others are what we call "Maple Maga", and it's scary to say the least. Thankfully it's still very localized.

Nope, I read it, but I'm a Canadian in Canada. I guess I don't count.

Today is one of the most special days in Canada. It's a day when we get together to learn and share with First Nations people. We learn from their culture, their language and share their music, dances and stories. We reflect together on the meaning of the orange shirts we wear.
This makes us strong!

Gun shootings in the USA represent 46% of the gun shootings worldwide, having <5% of the population. Also suicide rates are higher than world average 14 vs 9 per 100k people.
There's no direct relation between both and gun laws, I believe there are deeper reasons, but access to guns doesn't help.

I want to say before Columbine (1999) and 911 (2001), but I'll be a bit more generous and say somewhere around 2010 it got out of control, definitely after the 2008 crisis.

Unfortunately the USA has become the land of mass shootings. It will take to destroy the NRA to implement much needed gun control measures. But before it was peaceful.
Today I wouldn't dare to set foot there, I'm afraid of being detained, shot or karen-attacked anywhere.
Until you're safe USA!

In Canada the role of the opposition is tricky. Hold government accountable, scrutinize legislation, offer alternatives and represent dissent.
However it's not devil's advocate in the parliament.
It should take and improve, propose and make sure all voices are heard.
Not all understand that.

It's some people, yes, but there are others who will happily mentor you and help you climb.
However, no matter the environment or the place, living off the arts has always been hard and painful; and it's a huge minority, the ones that get rich and famous.
That's why you devote your life to your art.

I wouldn't move the responsibility from Nazi Trump to his Nazi advisor.
The demented orange lunatic is not smart enough to be able to make a plan about anything; but, he's giving the orders and moving the chips in the game. When this is over, the Nuremberg trials will look like the Muppet Show.

This is Bruce, his birthday is October 31st. You can't get more halloweenesque than him.

It's worrying that Hegseth is summoning every single general for a speech on the US military "new ways".
Having all of them in one place is dangerous because you can lose all your military knowledge in one attack. An encrypted video call would have been enough.
And they will release the video after!

Dude, I'm not going to waste my time arguing online. We were talking search engines and you introduced Usenet and Listserv. Those who haven't lived those times don't have idea of what they are. I'm clarifying your statement, not correcting. You chill!

Way to go guys! Antifa Canada 🍁supports you!

🤣

No, my master, Bruce, says I'm immune to hypnosis.

I hope at least it's prime location!!!

Usenet was a discussion platform, and listserv an automated users list manager. None of them were search engines as such.
A search engine will search over for existing and new sites, and gather information from them, and then organize them according to the criteria you input.

I've seen it happening in other countries. If they speak, their companies run a serious risk of disappearing. Their commitment and responsibility is not towards what's good for the country, but what's good for their stakeholders.
They're doing what any CEO would do, survive until better times come.
