Always a good idea to turn off auto-play videos; choose what you see and what you don't.
if you do not want to watch the video, go to settings > content and media and uncheck the "autoplay videos and gifs" box right now

No one should have to listen to this, so I’m reading the transcript. Right after introductions one of the hosts makes a note of stating “gee Andy all your staff really like you, and they all say you’re a really great guy”. Doesn’t seem odd or forced at all. Okay.
I didn’t know this Podcast existed until now, out of the blue, Spotify sent me this notification. Should be rich but I don’t know if I can listen to him talk that long, how about you Halisky?

In 2026 there will be more mass media articles and commentators ridiculing people taking precautions to avoid SARS-CoV-2 infection while simultaneously hundreds of pieces of research will be published further demonstrating the long-term harms of infection.

What little constraint there was for the US post-WWII came from their rival superpower, not international law. It's gone, so what's actually left to challenge them other than other geopolitical entities? Imagine WMDs passing the sniff test with a global superpower warning them to stay out.

All of those people who claimed to be desperately worried about mental health at the start of the pandemic seem to no longer care about mental health.
It was obvious at that time that they did not care, and frankly, they never will.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

anyway, I'll be pleasantly surprised if Canada has any European allies because historically the interest in the border was mostly about resource extraction.
A few 19th-century cartoons about US-Canada border issues, presented for no particular reason 🙄
For over 200 yrs there's been talk of annexation or "liberation," while many Indigenous Nations recognize that the imposed colonial borders never made much sense anyhow 🧵

I thought this was going to all transpire in Trump's first term, but then the pandemic happened, which both disrupted the plan & created the conditions for an eventual second term. They're not wasting any time in these extra 4 years.
