It is now estimated that 80-90% of Russia's casualties are coming from Ukrainian drones. These videos are insane.

this is outrageous and the clearest example yet that carney is downplaying human rights and credible threats to canadians to pursue his economic agenda. cozying up to the emiratis despite what they’re doing in sudan was bad enough, but many canadians will not just accept this u-turn on india.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Actually the dental cabal is responsible for that. In Canada, dentistry was originally excluded from the universal medical coverage program after committing to implementing their own program ... then they just didn't, without negative consequence

Boy I sure hope eradicating native wildlife so humans can have unencumbered access to a natural resource doesn't have any unintended consequences. Has anyone ever tried that before because maybe we can learn from their incredible success

I keep hearing that the Epstein files are so big if we held everyone accountable everything would collapse. And no it wouldn’t. These rich guys don’t do any actual work. They aren’t actually important or useful they are just rich.

Video of the aftermath of today’s Israeli ceasefire in Lebanon. Reports of about a dozen killed and about 4x that wounded from several attacks across the country. The bombings are likely preparation for war with Iran, during which it is expected that Hezbollah will return to fighting.

The justification for war with Iran is so paper thin it's almost funny. Everyone knows it's for two stupid illegal and immoral reasons: 1: Ensure Israel has no state enemies 2: Residual anger by our gerontocracy who haven't gotten over 1979 and the hostage crisis

Trump genuinely has a head full of mashed potatoes and zero understanding of how literally anything (outside of sexual assault and real estate fraud) work yet it's curiously not a consistent throughline in establishment press narratives

Like, everyone basically acknowledges the Iraq war as the foundational American crime of the 21st century and the primary inflection point for the decline of all aspects of American power and quality of life And we're about to do it again but worse, everyone acknowledges that, and nobody cares

The audiobooks are so good that I'm glad I'd never read any of his books before I got them. My imagination never would've been able to voice the characters as well as the voice actors did. The voices of Death & the Nac Mac Feegles are just so good. I'm in the middle of listening to all 42 again now
