Brilliant and highly articulate young atheist Alex O’Connor vs a couple of dozen of random God-bothering nitwits in one of these amusing shooting-fish-in-a-barrel “Jubilee” events. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpK8...

Yes, we are now living in quite dystopian times... while you’re sleeping, or simply not paying attention, and throughout the day when many of us are being distracted by “shiny objects” online... the fascist coup is methodically proceeding apace w/ relentless determination. tinyurl.com/2jrydrkr

Tyler Bucket, a perpetually amazed American guy (whose channel wholly consists of “reacting” to Canadian content), is deeply befuddled and concerned by the latest ridiculous “Papers Please” restrictions being imposed at the US border by the Trump administration. 😆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=GB6S...

More about Carney’s clever backdoor bond market move behind what made Trump get “yippy” over his sweeping tariff regime. Heh. 😆👍🍁 #Cdnpoli www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwP7...

Explaining Trump’s selective tariff exclusions on smartphones, computers, semiconductors and other electronics, in a what the NYT described as “a significant break for tech companies like Apple and Dell and the prices of iPhones and other consumer electronics.” 🙄 www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMvc...

Laughable but for the havoc Trump’s crazy tariff flip-flops are causing to businesses caught up in the chaos. Doesn’t this latest weasley dodge deeply undermine the alleged reasons for imposing all these punitive tariffs under “emergency authority” in the first place? www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa6-...

Trippy hallucinogenic video from the experimental late 70s pseudo-punk band “Red Krayola” from their seminal album “The Parable of Arable Land” — an eccentric masterpiece, imho. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jeyg...

Not actually that far from the truth. A professional make-up artist has some explanatory hypotheses regarding Trump’s increasingly orange hue these days (more in the link). tinyurl.com/48fh98c9

“You don’t have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards,” said the man who bankrupted several casinos. Would be nice to think that Carney’s behind-the-scenes activities and discussions w/ other US debt holders were instrumental in influencing the bond markets to force Trump’s hand. 👏
