If we don’t ALL demand that Carney implement Proportional Representation elections to end vote-splitting & seat allotments not reflecting voters’ choices — Canada will be another dictatorship run by ruthless sociopaths like Ford and Trump and their entourages

I had a great laugh because it is programmed to answer one single question; nothing else. Not an issue, but that could be fun for customers in the future. Chat bots may not quite be where we need them to be, to offer “full” customer service. Lol.

In summary only plain ordinary paper plates and straws break down quickly.
Other plant based items break down much more slowly. Coffee cups or forks/knives last much longer.
"Compostable plastic" is basically a lie. Your are paying extra for green washing.

My plan was to go back to music full time. But then came the fascists. So it's music part time and fighting fascism full time.
This is a sneak peak at the artwork for the upcoming @grievousangels104.bsky.social album.

Ron (lowest of the Low) Hawkins has done the artwork for the upcoming Grievous Angels Revolution album. It captures the spirit of this album.
The artwork contains so many clues as to what is coming for album no. 10.
We're doing a final mix and then will be sending it for mastering.
Stay tuned.
