DOGE claims it "saved US $50B" Not sure if that's a one time or annual savings It's roughly $2.75 a week per American Not even enough for a small Starbucks latte 🤦🏻‍♂️ In the meantime, National Parks & museums have closed; VA & FAA employees have been fired; and people are dying overseas

The normalization of what was done to the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank is likely a teaser for what is to come here at home in North America.

I find myself explaining this to friends, neighbors & casual acquaintances over & over. Fascism is a circular firing squad, or musical chairs, or King's Long Walk (pick your preferred metaphor) & it only ends one way. If you think being on board with it makes you safe, you're wrong.

I’ve seen a few people on social media giving @ianhanomansing.bsky.social props for slightly altering his 51st state question. No. There is no debate. None. Stop it. You did this shit with Covid too Ian. We all remember.

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now. So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof! 1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing. 2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

This is a stupid error to make; I've configured SPF and the other related settings for the charities I do tech support for.

DOGE has been sending their mass emails from a misconfigured server, causing DOGE emails to fail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) validation. This means that agencies are probably marking DOGE emails as spam.

“The CBC shouldn’t ignore Donald Trump’s annexation threats, but as a foundational element of Canadian culture, they have a public responsibility to fight it with extreme prejudice at every opportunity they get.”

The "some people" narrative by the government amuses me. 10 people in our office, only 1 got the alert. No one in my family got the alert. I think more accurately "few people got the alert". Which is disappointing, given we all seem to have received the recent test alerts.

right now is probably the perfect time for foreign intelligence agencies to get a ton of valuable information about our federal government just by sending an email asking for it

Say it loud: this is fascism — and we must all resist it. We must guard against the 'bystander effect' when we encounter creeping fascism. tinyurl.com/54hvtw77 It takes wisdom and courage to admit to being wrong. Sadly, very few Trump supporters are in possession of these attributes.

Over a decade of the AlertReady system being in place and it's still not working properly. Did you know it's run by a private corporation? It's designed and run by Pelmorex, a company that also owns the Weather Network www.pelmorex.com/en/

A worthwhile read, but suffers from the usual American exceptionalism. Every example of surviving tyranny and fascism comes from Europe. But there are no examples of Americans who have survived American tyranny and state violence, whether they be Black, Indigenous, Queer, or undocumented.

Hanomansing and CBC playing cute with explicitly fascist expansionism is great. Not a sign of subtly prepping the population for annexation at all.

No. Stop it #CBC. They’re not “comments,” they are THREATS destroy our sovereignty, our independence, our economy, and our way of life as Canadians. Stop normalizing Trump’s threats to annex Canada. You are doing his job for him! #Canada #CanadaSky 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #TeamCanada #Alberta #yyc #yeg

Ian, with respect, framing any sort of question around the “51st state” language gives legitimacy to the idea that this should even be a rational point of debate. If you want Americans to hear our voices, frame it accurately. “Trump threatens to invade or annex Canada. Hear Canadians sound off.”

absolutely insane logic at play here, especially at a time when our public broadcaster is trying to convince the Canadian public of its national value. "your taxes are funding the speedy normalization of American jingoism" is quite the editorial decision!! godspeed guys!

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

Golden SAR responded to an avalanche yesterday (Feb 21) with one partial burial and open leg fracture. Many avalanches in BC result in devastating injuries regardless of whether the subject is buried. Also notable that the snow hit a party below, which makes this incident preventable.

Is the result of decades of mush-brained both-sides centrism. "Let's ask everyone on your block about your neighbor's comments about how he wants to burn your hose down" "A fulsome discussion is needed on his proposal to take your house "
