There's a really good ghost movie called Presence (starring Lucy Liu) that has a similar ghost theme to this book. I want to say more, but it was good and don't want to spoil.

Hamas has nothing to do with the IDF using Palantir to murder civilians and aid workers. Palantir's likely involved in bombing the Central Kitchen aid workers who were American, Canadian and European. Even if you think every Palestinian is Hamas, the IDF is still committing war crimes in Plaestine

Wait wait, can we pause on the "beardos" bit? Why does Hegseth have a problem with beards? The rest makes sense from his twisted perspective, but I'm surprised that he's after the beardos. Maybe he's self-consious about not being able to grow a proper beard himself??

The threat of White Supremacy and violent white extremists is real. Frankly, it's more real than any threat posed by Muslims or Pro-Palestinian protestors. But the Zionist orgs in this country that claim to support their Jewish community benefit from white supremacy & the military, so they are mute

Paul Fagan 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @paulfagan.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
If the shooter had been Muslim, their face would be everywhere, terrorism and extremism would be in every headline, Zionist organizations would be calling for political action. But he is a young white Albertan, and that doesn't fit the media's narrative, so they are all avoiding talking about him.

@mattgalloway.bsky.social was on the Current today. He didn't mention the suspect's name, he didn't mention terrorism, he definitely didn't mention white supremacy. He actually suggested that the suspect may not have been targeting the synagogue despite the shooting happening on Yom Kipper.

On Sunday evening, a former Canadian Military soldier named Sean Ward drove his truck up to a full synagogue during prayer and opened fire with a shotgun. Canada has a known problem of giving military training to white supremacists who later commit violent acts. But no one is talking about that.

This would not only take the burden of this "economic war" off of an Canadian working class that is already struggling to keep a roof over their shoulders and food in their cupboards, but it could also reduce Canada's ongoing complicity in Trump and Netanyahu's illegal and immoral wars. Just sayin

Paul Fagan 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @paulfagan.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
Trump started this trend of increasing taxes on the poor using the magic word "tariff" and Carney, as always, is following suit. There IS an alternative. Carney could announce an embargo on America's military industrial complex, and cause him to choose: tax Canadians or keep his stupid wars alive.
100
Paul Fagan 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @paulfagan.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
So while politicians and "business experts" praise Carney's "Team Canada" approach & talk tough about America and sovereignty, what they're really cheering on is more money for elites at the expense of workers; New taxes on the poor while they keep corporate and wealth taxes at an all-time low.

Paul Fagan 🇮🇪🇵🇸 @paulfagan.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
And Carney's tariffs let the gov collect taxes from everyday Americans to fund his crazy $150B military spending plans, which provide next to nothing for Canadians while boosting the revenues and share values of corporations that profit off of death and genocide. (2)

After 30mins of propaganda from #CBC world news, a friendly reminder: Both Donald's tariffs AND Carney's "retaliatory counter-tariffs" are a CONSUMER TAX ON CANADIANS. Trump's tariffs let corpos charge more for everyday goods and blame America while they pocket more profits... 🧵 (alt solution...)

This happens in Canada too. My 8yo was riding her bike down a path to visit ducks. She was ~500yds from home. An older woman yelled at her and told her it's dangerous to be alone without her parents. Now she's scared to go riding alone because she doesn't want to get "In trouble" from nosy strangers

#Kitchener Centre MP Kelly Deridder says that she admires celebrating culture UNLESS that culture is Palestinians. She thinks Palestinians should be policed and shouldn't be allowed to celebrate their culture. Come to Palestine Day in #DTK this Sunday to witness the joy your MP wants to erase!
Email screenshot from Kelly Deridder to her campaign followers titled: KW Palestine Festival - A Message from Kelly DeRidder.
It reads: "Celebrating our individual cultures here in Canada is something to admire. I personally love spending time in our many ethnic communities and honouring their art, culture, clothing, music, dance and faith.
But this event happening in our city centre is not that. It is spreading division and hate here in Canada and dragging conflicts from others countries into our neighbourhoods. That is not acceptable in our communities.
I have written a personal letter to the Mayor and to the Chief of the Waterloo Regional Police to make clear that this kind of event is not a celebration of culture, it is an attempt to inflame foreign political conflict on Canadian soil.

@nealstephenson.bsky.social called this in 2021 with his book Termination Shock. Rufus is a hog hunter who uses drones to target hog hoards in Texas, including a cow-sized hog who killed someone. He even teams up with a billionaire who lends him a chopper to help. Neal is clairvoyant Great book too
Termination Shock, a novel by Neal Stephenson. Published in 2021 as a near-future science fiction book, it focuses around the unusual and difficult to predict problems that climate change brings - such as Texas being over-run by giant feral hogs - and a small group of people with a wealth of resources trying to stop climate change by taking extreme means. It's deeply entertaining, and while it seems outrageous, so is our reality, so it hits the mark perhaps more than it should.
