finding out that I am apparently responsible for all US imperialism, ever
talked about. But this person was single out. Why? Because they were incredibly insensitive. 40 people died yesterday, sensibility is crucial. 5 Caio Almendra @caioalmendra.bsky.social • 25m We on the Global South will never believe you are anti-imperialist this way. "Nah, your oil isn't even good". WTF? 40 people died in one night, Venezuela is on the risk of the mass starvations and murders that follows this kind of "intervention" and you can't start calling it immoral? 8 ••. Caio Almendra Follow @caioalmendra.bsky.social Even the dismissiveness toward my call for some moral condemnation of what happened was arrogant and chauvinistic. "I did it once, unclealy one month ago, so I'm forever ok". Fuck off That's why Sky was relentlessly bullied yesterday - and will be many more times: U.S. chauvinistic arrogance. 1:59 PM • Jan 4, 2026 • Translate 9 likes 01 •

Nods in #OttCity 16-9 vote splits. Reminder that inside greenbelt is 13% of land, +50% of tax revenue and 50% of population yet routinely outvoted and underfunded; last new community centre was more than 20y ago despite overwhelming urban growth, DC funding charges etc

Kids who got new bikes for Christmas, “super excited” to walk them around the city that’s too dangerous to ride in. HAMILTON, ON - The 8 and 10 year old children were ecstatic with their new bikes and “Cannot wait to walk them to school” They are hoping that on weekends their parents might drive them to the park to pedal around slowly on the multiuse path - “it would be nice to sit on the bike and ride it too, but I don’t wanna get my hopes up”

Local man looks to move to The Netherlands after heartwarming encouragement from the internet "if you love bikes so much just move to Holland"
city canal in Amsterdam Local man looks to move to The Netherlands after heartwarming encouragement from the internet "if you love bikes so much just move to Holland" HAMILTON, ON - The parent of 2 who only casually bikes and just thought kids should be able to bike to school never considered the very easy task of upending the entire family's life, moving to a new country where they didn't know anyone and finding jobs and housing. "I always just assumed maybe making change where we lived was an option.....Just want to thank those helpful social media accounts with no pictures and lots of random letters and american flags in their handle for the push our family needed."

Björk celebrates the beauty of intimacy on her legendary album 'Vespertine'. Here are 5 fascinating facts behind "Hidden Place" and the creation of her custom music boxes, and THAT swan dress. zurl.co/ulY8Z
5 Surprising Facts About Björk’s 'Vespertine' - That Eric Alper
Following the aggressive and confrontational energy of her previous work, Björk shifted her creative focus toward a hushed, domestic soundscape that redefined the boundaries of electronic music. ‘Vespertine’ arrived as an introverted winter record, drawing deep inspiration from her burgeoning relationship with artist Matthew Barney and a desire for tranquility after a grueling film production.
