US defence systems heavily rely on REEs in production, operation, and maintenance.

The current US National Defence Stockpile is estimated to be a meagre 1% of its 1962 value. Not enough to continue supplying critical defence structures.

I’m getting to a point, I promise.

Here’s the thing.. he’s not wrong. At first, I wrote this off as supplying batteries for President Musk. But it turns out it’s a whole lot more than that.. here’s the Cold War with China they’re not talking about… /🧵

I looked in the rear view mirror the other day and realized my 4 year old is far too cool to be hanging out with me.

She’s too young to realize this yet, but my days are certainly numbered.

Also, does anybody know where we can opt-out of H5N1? I do not wish to do this again.

Oh.
Oh no.
Fetch me my tiny violin!!🎻

Thank goodness it’s finally Friday.

I took my kid to a birthday party last Sunday morning. Maybe it’s the years of infertility talking, but I can’t understand why parents just sit about on their phones. Bunch of 3/4/5 year olds like.. go have some fun.
Play with your kid.
Chuck the mouthy one in the ball pit.
You’re missing life.

Just let people be people.

Something to keep in mind. Each package is 110 calories. Maximum items in the basket you can have is 20 so add 19 and a bagel.

This one stuck with me. My TikTok FYP is in this wonderful place where I’m getting stuff like this, spoken word poets, and book excerpts. May it never ever stray from that.

How about no? Ew.

With everything going on these days, I needed my holiday cheer early.

Got my winter tires on today and the shop has these two adorable fellas to play with while you wait. I will never ever complain about extra wait times there. Ever. #Kelowna

Lean in, because the only way out is straight through.

I quite like these two so far.

The natural disaster:

Ekos, as it turns out, weighs their polling by respondents uptake of COVID vaccination. I’m increasingly convinced that polling is both wildly inaccurate and useless to anybody outside of a campaign office.

Why do these things still exist? #canpoli

Since it seems Twitter reached an entirely new low, it felt like a good time to start transitioning over here.
