Even more interesting is the fact that nobody believes Trump could have done this himself.
So there was a meeting where the Trump King Shit Bombing was suggested and they workshopped the details.

Trump posted an AI video last night of him wearing a crown, flying a jet and bombing protesters with shit. Yes, shit. Many U.S. media have ignored this latest example of Trump’s mental instability. Others have downplayed it. The response says a lot about why we’re in this mess. 🧵 1/
Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

I've had years of news stories disappear. I saved some clippings, but this is a good reminder to PDF your work!
As someone who has lost all the writing I published on sites I didn't own, DO THIS 👇
periodic reminder that if you write stuff that's published on the web for a publication you yourself do not own, PDF that shit as soon as it goes live

Like the proliferation of guns in America, this is a choice.
Check out this scatterplot of health spending per capita (x axis) & life expectancy (y axis) in OECD countries (lines = averages).
The United States sits alone in the bottom right area due to its very high spending rate and below-average life expectancy.

Oh ffs. If you can’t tell the difference between a wartime PM trying to safeguard the entirety of Canada’s economy, sovereignty and future, and a fascist conman backed by the most malign forces on the planet, then you are exactly part of the problem.

I imagine it's similar in Canada. As reporters disappear, so, too does truth.
The report from @rebuildlocalnews.bsky.social and @muckrack.com finds that more than 1,000 counties — one out of three in the nation — do not have the equivalent of even one full-time local journalist.
New report maps a “severe” shortage of local journalists in the U.S.

Yet another fire in Strathcona Park (after a major one that threatened homes in 2023 and another two months ago). And on the heels of Petersen Creek! Access to the path through the park is blocked. Plan your travel accordingly -- this is a popular cycling and dog walking route. #kamloops
