So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.

That's $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

Thousands of lives lost.

People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Technically we elected him, then elected someone else, he staged a coup, the coup failed, he faced no consequences, then we elected him again after he vowed revenge on us.

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

From Tehran: "It’s catastrophic. The smoke has entered our homes, the flames are still rising and it feels like the sun is shining… The flames are so bright the highways look like it’s day time. So bright but doesn’t feel right... Help please!”

When asked about healthcare premiums...

On the same episode that Smith talked about her referendum questions that blame immigrants for driving up the cost of healthcare...

Smith said that healthcare doesn't actually need more money.

No.

Really.

It's like they only think of improving their own lifespan. I am going to have a hard time explaining to my grandkids why Alberta is a wasteland. Eastern slopes headwaters polluted, northern basins polluted, central bone dry due to datacenters , and that's all before we drink or eat.

This is what Syrias looked like in Tehran today. It is raining oil. The street cats are covered in it. This is a colossal crime against humanity.

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February.

A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses.

Americans owe $18.5 trillion in debt β€” an historic high.

Meanwhile, the wealth of America's 935 billionaires soared by $1.5 trillion in 2025.

β€œGolden Age” for whom?

Close up photo of a group of Cladonia podetia. Each podetium is light grey in colour and shaped roughly like a golf tee. The top/bowl of each podetium is ringed with numerous small, roundish bright red blobs. These blobs are called apothecia - they are reproductive, spore producing structures.

"All the President's Men" was a warning Nearly 50 years later, the film feels less like a triumphant ode to journalism than a warning about media decay.

Apparently, the original 2007 fan video that married Arcade Fire's song and Sergio Leone's images was taken down for copyright reasons, but someone was good enough to recreate the magic.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
