Dragon Ball Zilch.
Dragon Ball Zilch.
Don't deny you find us pretty.
Whatever you try with spades and gloved hands,
your ripping rending of roots
will bruise your fingers and tax
muscles used to complacency,
never fighting for survival or sight.
Your children,
who have not been taught we are weeds,
vermin among vegetable,
delight in our brightness, how we
in our sunbursts show thaw is coming;
it's only later they curse as you curse.
Do as you like. Of course it hurts
to be wrenched, but even as you burn
the sweet grass with chemicals,
you poison yourselves, too.
We will press through the litter. We
are untamed and our tendrils
run deep through the earth.
Our seeds have wings.
Far-off soil will host what you reject.
We will conquer your lost places.
Make a wish, gardener. Go on.
Just when you thought he couldn't get stupider or more historically ignorant...
His Orangeness Mango Mussolini, the Melon Felon, has a bee in his bonnet [1] about canals, but it's not just about #Panama now. On his social network - a fork of Mastodon, of course - he wrote:

The Panama canal, maybe.
The Suez canal, however, was proposed by a #Frenchman, financed primarily by #Europeans, built by forced and voluntary labour sourced from countries in the region under the management of the French, and then operated by a French company with a contract for 99 years.
The USA had absolutely #zilch to do with the Suez canal. Which is probably for the best, because the USA was kind busy fighting its own civil war and then the #reconstruction that followed it - the canal was built from 1859 to 1869.
So, Mr. Trump: pull your head out of your ass, admit your ignorance, apologize to Egypt, France, and the rest, and slink off to your history-free corner of D.C. with your tail between your legs.
[1] Maybe it's good he has a bee in there. There isn't much else rattling around in that particular bone soap dish.

You can certainly talk about it. A year ago, I would have told you the chances of Canadians *wanting* any part of the USA to become part of Canada were slim.
After Mango Mussolini's continuous comments about our Prime Minister being "governor" of the USA's 51st state, and after his declaration of economic war on his biggest trading partner and oldest ally -- the #chances are #zero.
#None, #zilch, #nada. Trump has just spent all of the goodwill Canadians held for the USA for generations, and then some. The damage won't be repaired for a *long* time.
Possibly multiple generations.
Our car share company Zilch has names for all their cars. They offered us free extended use of our subscription during the Christmas/New Year's period. I can't begin to describe how excited I was when we got given Ricardo instead of Lianne. He's newer and has a better range. But his number plate ends with 404 so I can never find him.
If Tesla was serious about solving climate change, they would offer a car share option. You shouldn't have to own an expensive hunk of embedded carbon that spends 95% of its life in a car park in a city with great public transport.
Toyota made tentative steps in this direction a few years ago when they bought Cityhop.
I enjoy my Hyundai EV subscription with Zilch but it's still not quite what I'm looking for.
