Yeah but a carrier named George W Bush getting sunk by hypersonic missiles in the Persian Gulf would be *peak Karma. #JustSaying

With the exception of #Spain, so far all the governments that poured billions into Ukraine to defend sovereignty, national self-determination, and oppose a war of aggression, back the fascist Trump in attacking sovereignty, national self-determination, and waging a war of aggression. #EU #Nato

Think about how long you have left to live for a moment.

Now think, can you afford things getting progressively worse at the rate they are?

If the answer is no, donโ€™t you think there is something we should do about it?

This seems like a good time to remind people, that those living with chronic pain, and/or, chronic illness, do not pretend to be sick. They pretend to be okay.

Hell no! Do NOT fucking do this. Canada has no business getting involved in this nightmare war of choice.

Trump and Netanyahu fucked around, and it's squarely on them and the regional allies who empowered them to find out.

There are no principles. No law. Only power and its hierarchy of useful alliances.

I find I keep saying it, but what a time to be alive.

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.

Just another day/reminder of how โ€œthe richest and most powerful nation in the worldโ€ cannot do mass transit.

We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

On 1 day, Carney says he supports the war on Iran, next day he says that maybe it was illegal, & the next day he won't rule out joining.
No goddamned way. This is Drumpf's & Bibi's war. We must refuse to participate in this illegal, illegitimate, and vicious war.

Iran is no Iraq โ€“ itโ€™s much worse than that Trump, Hegseth and Rubio lurch from one poorly thought-out explanation for the USโ€™s Iran war to another โ€“ but it isnโ€™t convincing anyone, let alone the American public, writes Eric Lewis

Canada refused to give support to an illegal war in 2003. We faced enormous pressure to go along with the USA.
What we see today is a totally illegal war launched by two dangerous criminal leaders.
There is no NATO mission here. This is Operation Epstein.

Well...

End of 2024, 16 sticks of 32GB DDR RAM came to $3,200.00

My vendor found some RAM for me.

If I can cough up $65,000

Each stick is now more than what 16 sticks used to cost total.

NO to violations of international law. NO to the illusion that we can solve the world's
problems with bombs.
NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.
NO TO WAR.

Pedro Sรกnchez

The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but
insecurity and pain.
Our response then must be our response now:

US strikes on Iran โ€˜outside international law,โ€™ says Macron Macron joins Spanish PM Pedro Sรกnchez in calling the legality of the strikes into question.

After four days of hesitating, the president of France has joined the prime minister of Spain in saying that the ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ attack on Iran is a violation of international law.

But they are still the only 2 EU leaders to have done so. Will others join?

This Prime* Minister is giving me an education on how central bankers can be really smart in their field, and totally out of their depth in government.

(It at first autocorrected to โ€œProneโ€ Minister and honestly, that fits)

While the McDonaldโ€™s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonaldโ€™s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M โ€” over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.
