I was reading a thread about red flags a few months ago, and I can't stop thinking about the guy whose gf sincerely thought Alaska was an island because of how it was included in American maps at school.
I consume a LOT of media but this stuck with me.

"The 1972 U.S. presidential campaign of Edmund Muskie was disrupted at least four times in Florida in 1972 with the use of stink bombs during the FL presidential primary."
The Wikipedia entry on stink bombs is wild, y'all.

What is it about heavy, unrelenting rain that makes me want to curl up in bed and play civ7 and drink Earl Grey and eat popcorn?
I know we should probably go to Ikea (out of our Swedish staples) but it's like 45 minutes away. The sound of the rain is like a weighted blanket on my soul.

Canada must speak up against the arbitrary detention of travellers. Canadians and other nationals have been kidnapped by ICE.
These are not the actions of a democratic nation.
This is the creep of fascism.
I am calling on Canadians to avoid all travel to the USA.

I really grapple with the idea that someone's anxiety is always connected to causes.
For me stress has causes, but anxiety doesn't. It's sort of like air pollution: some days will be better than others but it's impossible to avoid, only mitigate.

So if Trump isn't willing to guarantee helping NATO countries, does that mean Canada doesn't need to send our fire fighting teams to help out in NY?
I hope everyone is safe and that the damage isn't too bad.
Who ever heard of forest fires in NY State in March?

Hey #Canadians if you're still on Instagram or Tiktok, can you just go check to see if this guy Mario Zelaya is in your following list?
He was in mine (never followed him) and he's spitting anti Canada propaganda from what I can tell. I'm curious if anyone else was forced to follow this guy.
