Today's #fragrance is from Olibanum, a niche French brand.

Their line is all about simplicity blended with their star ingredient: olibanum! Olibanum is a tree resin from the Boswellia genus of trees. It's silky & slightly citric, and has been used for millennia. You might know it as frankincense.

Harper endorses Polievre for PM

Poilievre said he would follow in Harper's footsteps. "Always and everywhere he was solid, competent, honest, decent, down to earth"

In 2015, The Tyee called Harper a Serial Abuser of Power and documented 70 of his abuses

You guys, they're not stupid

They're doing propaganda

When they lie through their teeth, they are doing propaganda

Do you think the people behind Big Brother in 1984 were stupid? Big Brother says lots of nonsensical shit.

The question you should be asking yourself isn't "why are stupid people in charge?" It's "who is susceptible to this messaging and why is it working?"

The mass execution of paramedics by the Israeli army has been barely mentioned in the media.
Students who speak up against the genocide have been targeted.
But there are those who shine a light.

“We must do what they fear--tell the truth, spread the truth. This is the most power weapon against this regime of liars, thieves, and hypocrites. Everyone has this weapon. So make use of it.”
— Alexei Navalny

To think this is applicable today, to us in the USA is simply unimaginable.

Under Fascism, the state makes sweeping changes (sold as an attack on waste, fraud, and abuse) in the name of efficiency…and “the trains will run on time!”

The entire budget of the National Endowment for the Humanities (which has been devastated by Trump & Musk) is 3% of this.
SpaceX gets up to $5.9 billion in new DOD launch contracts...more than it's competitors, United Launch alliance and Blue Origin.

Police in Rhode Island are saying someone died from fentanyl-laced cannabis based on preliminary drug testing done by the police, and I just want people to remember law enforcement is not qualified to perform drug testing or determine cause of death. It helps nobody to create unfounded drug panics.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
