Lots of attention rightly being paid to the Kremlin-adjacent, child-stealing oligarch funding Trump Jr's wedding, but the Trump family/administration treating relations with Russia primarily as an opportunity for enrichment is not new. Look, for example, at the late 2025 "peace" plan:

1/ "Capitalism” was first coined in France in the early 19th century. It began as a fusion of 2 distinct sets of ideas. The 1st involved thinking about public debt and war finance. The 2nd involved thinking about the division of labour" War makes the State. Its not just about Class war

Last May when I was living off grid solo up the coast I finally got around to harvesting a few oysters for my supper. They were really good!

Sitting quietly by the sea in Desolation Sound I met this lil guy. Garter snake sub type with turquoise under the chin, foraging along the rough and salty shore. Amazing how they have adapted to be able to swim in the saltwater.

Easter is a time of renewal in nature and in us. It's also when nettles are tenderest and tasty in soup. Nettle nutrition helps detox away winter apathy and infuse you with vitamins B, C, K, calcium, folate, iron, manganese and potassium. Getting stung is a bonus; it lowers systemic inflammation.
