I like @pluralistic ‘s writing because he can succinctly summarize exactly what’s happening with tech today.

The emerging alliance between Canada and the Nordic countries is the best thing which has happened in international politics in years.

Ethics, kindness, and honesty all the way. ♥️

- Global criminalization of Gaza protests
- Moves by US to reduce global environmental, food, medical development and research
- Damned concentration camps being for profit and numbers based
- Billionaires and their use of AI slop to destroy labor rights and voter power
- Project 25 in general.
Some stuff you should be watching:
- China / Taiwan
- Russia / Ukraine
- Epstein deletions and findings
- Minneapolis
- Strait of Hormuz politics and economics
- Lebanon
- SAVE act and obviously related passport and ID invalidation hijinks. And postal service hijinks
- OS level age validation
This honestly explains a lot.

@charette I wonder if something happened in the gravel pit? Or someone was doing some blasting in the area. I'm up in Copper Ridge and they were blasting for a new subdivision nearby within the last couple of years and that shook the house pretty strongly.
@charette Didn't notice anything over here above downtown Westbank so probably not an earthquake. Maybe some kind of explosion? Don't see anything posted about it on Castanet yet either.
