The USS Gerald Ford has crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and is now entering the Atlantic ocean on its way to the Caribbean ahead of a possible US military intervention in Venezuela.

The USS Gerald Ford is pinging again, this time just east of the Strait of Gibraltar.

The aircraft carrier was ordered to the Caribbean on October 24 as part of the Trump administration's military buildup in the area.

I'm blown away by the fact that our fundraising team, Half Best Friends, has raised over $25,000 CAD for children's hospitals so far this year!

Huge shoutout to @panickedness.bsky.social and the rest of the team for all of their hard fundraising work!

I'm at a loss for words to describe the mix of horror and idiocy that describes the politics of the United States at this moment.

Future generations will (hopefully) read about this time and wonder what was wrong with all of us.

Trump announces 50% tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum effective, escalating the original 25% that he had announced earlier.

Trump also stresses that "the only thing that makes sense" is to annex Canada and make it America's "cherished Fifty First State"

The government of Ontario will not re-stock US alcohol at the LCBO until Trump drops "the tariffs entirely", following his announcement that he was pausing tariffs on USMCA goods until April 2.

Trudeau was clear about this on his press conference on Monday.

When asked what he thought it was that Trump wanted out of the tariff negotiations, Trudeau said that Trump wants "a total collapse of the Canadian economy because that will make it easier to annex us"

@angusreidinstitute.bsky.social poll out today shows that Canadians feel anger, betrayal and anxiety at Trump's tariffs.

The same poll found historically-low 24% favourability for our southern neighbour, with 73% expressing an unfavourable opinion of the US.

Trump threatens to retaliate against retaliatory tariffs placed by Canada "immediately" and "by a like amount" following Prime Minister Trudeau's press conference earlier today during which he personally addressed Trump and told him that his tariffs were "a dumb thing to do"

MORTAL SIN is a dungeon crawler with a distinct art style and fast-paced combat. It's inspired by Kentaro Miura's BERSERK manga.

Look at this screenshot!

Come watch me play this awesome game and consider donating a dollar for a very good cause: www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fu...

There's lots of these products available, from hats to flags to bumper stickers. Searching "51st state" on Amazon also brings up some anti-annexation merch, but not as much as merch celebrating Trump's threats.

One of my favourite tools is this GPS Jamning Map, which shows GPS interference levels across much of the world

The map showed a high level of GPS interference in the Latakia area as of the latest update on Nov. 27
