is anyone surprised? isn't this how fascism works? create new realities, repeat it often enough, a portion of the population will believe and repeat as though it's truth. Definitions are changed to fit the narrative they need it to. Socialism was starting to not sound too bad so gotta redefine it

I get it. My response was less of a "BUT," to your comment, more of an "AND.." Both can be true. :)

Canadians shouldn't be forced to stay on twitter or Meta to get announcements or reach ministers. Carney and a few others are here on Blue sky but plenty of representatives and ministers are on twitter while not Blue Sky. plus how many "canadians" on twitter are actually just bots?

Once again, for the politicians, business leaders, and journalists still actively posting on X/Twitter: why? You're using a platform that's owned by someone who's trying to break up your country. The juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Tweed is such a beautiful fabric to wear this time of year because it produces, in Dolly Parton's phrasing, a coat of many colors. Even a solid-colored brown is not just brown, but bits of red, blue, and yellow to produce something that looks lifted off the Scottish landscape.
There are two photos taped together. The top shows a brown stone building with a brown thatched roof. It's surrounded by green grass, stone walkways, and blue-gray sea. Below is a checked brown tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it. There are two photos taped together. The one at te top shows a rocky hillside with green and straw-colored grass, gray rocks, and a tan sandy beach below. The blue waters are crashing at the shore. Below is a green herringbone tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it. There are two photos taped together. The top shows a field of green and straw colored fields with bits of purple flowers. Below is a a series of checked brown tweed that reflect the colors in the landscape above it. A swatch book of solid-colored tweeds. The green tweed has visible flecks of red, gold, and blue.

"Crops chase sunlight, so roofing a field with panels ought to starve them. Yet plot after plot came in with more fruit, not less, & the plants looked healthier than the ones baking in the open. Stranger still, the shaded rows did it while drinking far less water." energiesmedia.com/solar-panels...

American farmers slid solar panels over 62,000 acres of farmland, and the biggest payoff had almost nothing to do with electricity
Long rows of solar panels march across the desert, and underneath them, where the ground should be baked and bare, there are rows of green.
