The ignorance of this man is indicative of the geo-centric education that many USA residents have received. They have no idea what socialism vs communism means, and they have no desire to educate themselves otherwise, knowing that much of the populace has received the same narrow minded education.

Perhaps the USA will bring in public stoning next for drunk and disorderly behaviour, adultery and pedophilia next. That would be quite a show, given the current administration. Next up, thieves will get their hands cut off in the town square. Fox & 60 Minutes could televise to raise their ratings.

I used them a few years back when I moved for assembling furniture, hanging paintings high up on a 13 foot wall, etc. It was a good experience.

This piece by @maxfawcett.bsky.social is outstanding--should be required reading for all CDNs. The US is not in some passing phase or experiencing a temporary glitch that a "turn it off, then on again" Congress will fix. Unfettered capitalism leads to intractable moral & economic decay. 1/3

I never followed the National Post until recently on Bluesky. I was looking for Canadian content. Within two days, their biased posts had me shaking my head. I unfollowed their garbage. I also cancelled my Vancouver Sun digital subscription. Post Media is not journalism; it's pure propaganda.

The disrespect from this pile of poop began when he called Justin Trudeau governer. The verbal and economic abuse have continued; yet his gradiose sense of self expects Canada to come begging. He cannot deal with an entity that says no or ignores his tirades. Infantile narcissism at its least.

Octopus DNA is so complex, scientists still don't understand it. While all other animals on earth evolve through multiple generations, octopus DNA can change while they are alive. This started the talk about octopus "alien DNA". Scientific paper below the video.

Fishy Friday: Bathypterois sp., a tripod fish. Solitary and stationary, these deep-sea denizens perch above the seafloor using specialized fin rays and face into the current. When an unsuspecting copepod or other tiny crustacean drifts by, this animal is set to snack. #Doldrums, 2,040 meters

A bluebrown nudibranch glides heavenward atop a bluewhite blade of seaweed. The nudibranch is origami designed and folded by Neil (origamiplankton.org) and the seaweed is a cyanotype by Anna Atkins, 1853.

Absolutely. My Mom (who had dementia) was utterly convinced that she had been to China. There was no convincing her otherwise. She had inserted a trip that I had taken years before into her beliefs and adopted it as her own lived experience.

I am frankly so far disappointed. I relish news over what everyone ate for dinner. There's way too much self promotion of everything from songs to cartoons and not so great artwork. I don't integrate Bluesky, as I wish to judge Gander for what it is. I hope it evolves in a more informative manner.

Accidently, like in "Oops"? Is there something in the water that has degraded brains in the USA? I have American friends and colleagues that have intellect and possess rational thought. Where did these brainless idiots come from? The important question: how did they convince people to vote for them?

You do realize that healthcare is controlled by the provinces? Carney has no say. I am not happy about the climate stance, but I get why it's happening. Since when has he tied our defense and powrer grid to the USA? Be careful where you get your "facts". Just imagine if PP the asshat was in charge.
