TRUMP & JANE DOE  - AMERICA'S HEART OF DARKNESS
TRUMP & JANE DOE - AMERICA'S HEART OF DARKNESS YouTube video by Charlie Angus

Latest headlines: "What did we learn from the Epstein doc dump?"
Answer: That no one in the media will mention multiple allegations of child rape against Donald Trump.

Which brings us back to Jane Doe and the American heart of darkness.

Participants also found it fun and appropriate to hold a #strawbuilding seminar in such a place. #embodiedcarbon. We are coming.

Dear @paulbrandt1.bsky.social
CTV is reporting that you are cheering on those who would break up our country.
You should come clean with Canadians.
If you are cheering the quislings, stop cashing in on our beautiful flag.

The Execution of Alex Pretti Broke Me
The Execution of Alex Pretti Broke Me YouTube video by LegalEagle

"3,000 ICE and CBP officers should not have been deployed to Minneapolis in the first place. I will echo um what some legal commentators have said. This is basically stoastic terrorism."

"...President Trump and I think that Stephen Miller have blood on their hands because this is what they wanted."

All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.

Alberta illegal can’t separate.

The Constitution doesn’t allow it. Even a referendum wouldn’t be enough β€” secession would require major constitutional changes & approval from the rest of Canada.

It won’t happen.
What will happen is chaos, lost pensions, economic damage, and years of instability.

The introduction of the weakened ETS2 emissions trading for transport and buildings could lead to combustion engine car users and fossil heated households saving money first, sustaining and socializing the fossil lock-in. I am so tired (anger) of this policy in Germany /EU. #worstfirst

This opens up wider questions about how far the UK and Canada in the 5 eyes intel sharing framework as well as other former allies of the United States can still provide the Americans with any sensitive intelligence information at all

Heat pump in snow

Tried to remember how long I owned my bicycle...
* 37 years ago, family expatriated from East Germany.
* 35 years ago, we discussed the need to phase out oil and gas heating due to climate change.
* 28 years ago, we discussed universal basic income and the coming shift to the right/ fascism at uni.

Public transit risks becoming the latest wedge between housing haves and have-nots Miserable suburban commutes and a dearth of parking spots risk becoming another reason why young people give up on big-city jobs

The headline is part of this story, but not the most important part IMO.
Building transit in Canada is an over priced, long delayed and political embarrassment for Canada.
The UofT study I'll link below has found that other developed countries can build

No One Builds Walls Like This Anymore!
No One Builds Walls Like This Anymore! YouTube video by Aged Skills

Covering half timbered houses with straw insulation was common once in the Eifel Region in Germany.
To do this, 20 cm stalks are glued on the wall with clay. All it requires is some patience because the materials are basically free. Funny that this is going viral now.
