As an Ontario native, I recommend posting and linking this widely, from X through to TikTok

Shot them or "Spitfired" them?

An unverifiable claim is that "Charlie Kirk was killed by a secret Epstein victim".

Do we have a decent bot-detector? I found a few the laborious way on in faceplant (:-))

A physicist would recognise that as entropy: the evil are pushing us toward the heat-death of the universe.

Your postings to mastadon are being mangled by the cross-posting mechanism. Instead of a real url, it is a url physically containing "...", like xcancel.com/zohrank.../s...

To be fair, I really wouldn't enjoy being beaten with lathies (:-))

They're rubber-coated bullets: they're still bullets.

Repost: It's sorta noisy in Bluesky (:-))

@AltAltNPS Can you provide a collection of some sort of videos and verifiable statements, for reporters in countries that are not kowtowing to Mr Trump.
