To be fair it’s going to be very funny when these clowns invent AGI and the super intelligent machine tells everyone to get offline, avoid processed food, stroll in the woods, seek community, eschew racism, pay high marginal rates of tax and ignore the ravings of deranged billionaires.

The Cenotaph in Salt Sping Island, British Columbia, Canada. There are too many lost with the same last name. Tragically, the losses in WWI are triple of those lost in WW2. @sommecourt.bsky.social

The cenotaph in Chester, Nova Scotia, Canada. I am always shaken by the war lists of those killed in WW1. All of these small Canadian coastal villages who contributed so many men to the CEF, and who never returned. @sommecourt.bsky.social

@ww1cemeteries.bsky.social @tonypollard.bsky.social @footstepspod.bsky.social I stopped at the village cenotaph in Paris Ontario, Canada. These boys from South Western Ontario filled the ranks of many 1st and 2nd Canadian Division battalions in the CEF, 1914-1918, as well as the Canadian Army 39-45.

Greene Bought Market Dip Before Trump Paused Tariffs, Profiting From the Rally
The Georgia congresswoman purchased at least tens of thousands of dollars in stock the day before and the day of President Trump’s pause of a sweeping set of tariffs that sent the market soaring.

On this day, 1917, my grandfather was about to take part in the attack on Vimy Ridge during the Battle of Arras. 2nd Canadian Divisional Trench Mortors, Y Battery. The notes in his pocket diary are pretty straightforward. Remarkable.

I remember watching Pink Floyd's The Wall when it was first released. One quick image at the beginning of the film rang a bell. The original image is of Canadian casualties in WW1. I saw this image in a book of Canadian war photographs.

Trump Celebrates Disruption in Speech to Congress, and Avoids the Costs
The president’s speech to Congress covered tariffs, Ukraine and cuts to the federal work force but did little to address the perils that accompany the abrupt shifts he has engineered.

Russia’s entire history is one of endless, desperate battles for survival against apparently unstoppable conquerors; of stunning defensive grit and unlikely victories.
That they and their lackeys are calling Ukraine’s resistance ‘futile’ is a joke in the nation of Nevsky, Donskoy, Kutuzov & Zhukov

As of February 20, 2025, the U.S. national debt was $36.22 trillion. These tariffs and have more to do with USA miss management than border issues. The citizens want tax cuts, new cars and trips to Disney Land. And they want the rest of the world to pay for it. Good luck in your next war neighbor.

Can we also keep in mind that while Zelenskyy like Churchill 1940-45 postponed elections, Trump in peacetime tried to overturn by violence an election he lost - and has since pardoned all the co-conspirators in his attempted coup?

We are living in a period of rich, selfish, gutless cowards. They are going to sell out a country, and it's people for the sake of a real-estate deal, and so oligarchs can get back to spending money on 5th Ave. I don't know what to say to my kids. www.bbc.com/news/article...
