25.01.2026 10:07 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I dreamed I saw, I dreamed I saw, Joe Hill last night
Alive as you and me
Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died" says he, "I never died" says he
"I never died" says he"
From San Diego up to Maine
In every mine and mill
Where working folks defend their rights
It's there you find Joe Hill
It's there you find Joe Hill
And standing there, as big as life
And smiling with his eyes
Says Joe "What they can never kill
Went on to organize
Went on to organize"
"The copper bosses killed you, Joe"
"They shot you Joe" says I
"Takes more than guns to kill a man"
Says Joe "I didn't die"
Says Joe "I didn't die"
I dreamed, I saw Joe Hill last night
Alive as you and me
Says I "But Joe, you're ten years dead"
"I never died" says he
"I never died" says he

You only need to pull one molecule of water of each of your vascular tubes at a time
20.01.2026 16:21 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0But I donโt know much about that one weirdly enough I think it might be mentioned in the John Candy movie โCanadian baconโ where a group of Americans try to invade Canada made by Michael Moore
20.01.2026 16:13 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0I donโt believe that the UN treaty for the sea covers the Great Lakes no, I think itโs under a different law
20.01.2026 16:12 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Itโs a treaty covering the oceans
20.01.2026 16:03 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0and to be clear the original post is separate from UNCLOS but the sheer silence around UNCLOS in the current discourse and related issues is shocking to me
19.01.2026 21:51 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0especially look at the names of the people really pushing to keep the us from signing the UNCLOS. You might not recognize them but it's pretty interesting
19.01.2026 21:50 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0this is NOT a full video but you have to start somewhere with "what is it?" but start down this rabbithole, please. Venezula, Greenland, Arctic Policy, the various efforts to split the atlantic etc etc
