Standard Oil - by Pablo Neruda, translated by Jack Schmitt
Standard Oil Co - a poem by Pablo Neruda When the drill bored down toward the stony fissures and plunged its implacable intestine into the subterranean estates, and dead years, eyes of the ages, imprisoned plants’ roots and scaly systems became strata of water, fire shot up through the tubes transformed into cold liquid, in the customs house of the heights, issuing from its world of sinister depth, it encountered a pale engineer and a title deed. However entangled the petroleum’s arteries may be, however the layers may change their silent site and move their sovereignty amid the earth’s bowels, when the fountain gushes its paraffin foliage, Standard Oil arrived beforehand with its checks and it guns, with its governments and its prisoners. Their obese emperors from New York are suave smiling assassins who buy silk, nylon, cigars petty tyrants and dictators. They buy countries, people, seas, police, county councils, distant regions where the poor hoard their corn like misers their gold: Standard Oil awakens them, clothes them in uniforms, designates which brother is the enemy. the Paraguayan fights its war, and the Bolivian wastes away in the jungle with its machine gun. A President assassinated for a drop of petroleum, a million-acre mortgage, a swift execution on a morning mortal with light, petrified, a new prison camp for subversives, in Patagonia, a betrayal, scattered shots beneath a petroliferous moon, a subtle change of ministers in the capital, a whisper like an oil tide, and zap, you’ll see how Standard Oil’s letters shine above the clouds, above the seas, in your home, illuminating their dominions.

"… carbon capture is a “pacifier” for the oil industry. It’s a delay tactic, and it won’t work. Why would we waste billions trying to come up with a techno fix that only prolongs a bunch of industries that don’t want to change?"

My cat caught a flying squirrel at 2am, in my living room! lol. It must've got inside thru my balcony door which was open. I thought it was a small rat at first until I noticed the furry tail and big eyes. Squirrel is fine btw, eventually found its way back outside, but I got no sleep last night.

NO SANCTUARY HERE – by Chris Jones (2003) Caesar called for a census The boss wanna know what's goin' on So Joseph and Mary hit the road With Mary nigh on nine months gone And you know we're talkin' 'bout a hell of a walk And they had no place to stay They tried the inns and the hotels But message was plain as day, you get No refuge, no respite, and no sanctuary here No refuge, no respite, and no sanctuary here Juan and his Juanita And a baby boy they'd named Miguel On the other side of the line it's Heaven On this side it's a livin' Hell So you do what it takes, pick up stakes And try to escape the drought But when you get to the border The INS has got the welcome wagon out, you get No refuge, no respite, and no sanctuary here No refuge, no respite, and no sanctuary here Now you got your haves and your have-nots And almost nothin' in between Religions that preach about lovin' your brother But they're run by the foldin' green Now there's a lot of folks looking over the edge Of that plate we've piled so high When they all decide to come over the border Time to kiss it all goodbye, there'll be No refuge, no respite, and no sanctuary here No refuge, and no respite, and no sanctuary here No refuge, no respite, and no sanctuary here No refuge, no respite, and no sanctuary here No sanctuary here No sanctuary here

Zuck's just trying to provoke his gullible simps & followers and conspicuous consumers with more money than brains into buying his company's 'augmented reality' (and privacy-invading) 'smart glasses'.
Mark Zuckerberg, shown in an undated photo, wearing a mauve top, gold chain & pendant, along with his company's Ray-Ban 'augmented reality smart glasses', which are equipped with dual cameras built into the frame of the glasses, near the temples. The 'smart glasses' can take pictures and stream live video to the internet… raising significant privacy concerns about facial recognition and artificial intelligence technologies. https://www.google.com/search?q=smart+glasses+privacy+concerns Two Harvard students demonstrated how they used Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses to access the personal information of random people on Harvard’s campus—including name, age, home address and phone number, and more. In other words, Meta's smart glasses can be used to doxx anyone in seconds, just by looking at them while wearing the glasses. https://www.forbes.com/sites/lindseychoo/2024/10/04/meta-ray-bans-ai-privacy-surveillance/

According to that Political Compass website, the survey says I'm a leftwing libertarian 🤷‍♂️ ok, whatever.

I think political labels just end up dividing people into opposing teams. And treating politics like team sports, like in America, is quite unhealthy for a fair and functioning social democracy.

here's a streetview of the Trans Am Totem sculpture, near False Creek, when it was unveiled in 2015 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_A...

It does give one pause for thought.
Trans Am Totem sculpture, created by Marcus Bowcott, and part of the Vancouver Biennale, was unveiled in April 2015. Standing 10 metres high and located near False Creek, Vancouver, British Columbia, the sculpture is made from junked cars stacked atop a base made from a tree trunk. The sculpture was dismanted in August 2021, to be reinstalled at a new location later. Bowcott has stated that the piece is a "sculptural response" to the urban site. It is as much a "celebration" of our mobility and technology as it is a critique of "throwaway consumer culture".

👇 the crude painting in the background showing an Israeli flag erasing the stars & stripes is rather telling 🤔

CBC was founded in 1936 as a counter balance to the predominantly American radio stations transmitting along the border.

“We will show the States that Canada is no appendage… properly employed, the radio can be made a most effective instrument in nation building”

Pam Bondi, former Florida attorney general and corporate lobbyist and longtime Trump loyalist, now head of the Department of Justice, has vowed to use the DoJ to pursue revenge on Trump's perceived political enemies.

Looks like justice ain't happening anytime soon with that nasty woman in charge.

I like the sentiment but, unfortunately, the image of Pope Francis draped with a Pride flag is an AI-generated fake.

Russia obviously intends to cut off Ukraine from the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, further weaking the country… before invading again and installing another thieving kleptocrat and Putin puppet, like Viktor Yanukovych www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
