This is an absolute must-read from Wired, which has been far ahead of Big Journalism on the Musk-Trump takeover of your most personal data -- to be used for their corrupt takeover of, well, everything they can grab.

Wired has an inexpensive paywall and is worth every dime.
It is within our collective power to destroy this man.
His shares reach $120 and he is fucked.

If a NO, thank them and tell them to stick to their position.
If a YES, tell them you want them to rethink and vote NO.
IF undecided, tell them NOW is the time to FIGHT and urge them to vote NO.

Endymion Ride View 2025 Part 1
Highlights of the New Orleans Mardi Gras Endymion Parade from the perspective of a rider at the top of float number 16, third of three sections. The parade is a night parade and the float is lit with flashing lights and brightly decorated. On two levels, costumed riders toss "throws" - toys, beads, and flashing-lighted collectables to the yelling people in the crowd on both sides of the float.

It started with joking about it.
Today, the US President told his military to make plans to invade, by force, Panama.
He announced his plans to annex Greenland - in front of the NATO head.
He said the only way out for Canada was to become part of the U.S.
This is not a joke.
War is coming.
WTAF. This is all so horrifying.

Trump isn’t joking about wanting to annex Canada
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Trump wants to see "a total collapse of the Canadian economy." He's probably right about that.Michael A. Cohen (MSNBC)
the US may try to steamroll Canada but as the US has found in every war it has lost since the end off WWII (all of them) 1) you need boots on the ground & 2) a country that wants the US
Canada doesn’t want to be the 51st state. It is stupid to think we would
So it would start an ugly war of hit and run! Where the foes look just like the US. Where the foes can wander across the longest undefended border in the world and bring the fight to US soil.

The morning after the big winds from the ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred, our regular King Parrots turned up for a rest and some seed in the relatively dry veranda.
They definitely looked a bit worse for wear, but they got a good feed and some shelter for a while.

To my American friends,
I love you dearly, but if you joke about the annexation of Canada like it's not deadly fucking serious, I have no issue with dropping your ass. That Damn Frank got a block. I have a feeling that he won't be the last.
This is an invasion we're talking about. An unlawful imposition of one country's will against another.
If you think we'll lie back and just take it, you don't know anything about us.
I like to think that I choose my friends carefully. I call you friends because you are compassionate and strive for kindness and acceptance. I hope y'all don't let me down.

I don't think he's joking at all.
I feel like we're occupied by a foreign power here.
I believe most of us here in the states are appalled by this talk and do not support it.
If the US tries to annex Canada without your consent, I expect you to do what any country would do in that situation.

If it uses it more than three times, _run_.

Dear Democrats-
May I suggest making a small, but significant change to your well meaning rallying cry for this new era in our country…

Several years ago we prepared a comprehensive assessment for California of the risks of fracking for #water resources, concluding it wasn't the amount of water needed but the massive threat to groundwater from contamination.
Texas is proving the point. Excellent article here.

TWISTED SISTER
Come Out And Play
1985 Canada pressing
Truly a reprehensibly BAD album, & honestly what killed their career.
An utter abomination.
So why do I own it?
Because regardless of it’s terror, this was the 1st album I ever bought with my own money.
A cassette copy, from the Grafton Flea Market, age 9, for .25 cents.
It’s solely for sentimental purposes.
Every ten years, I put it on thinking it’s not that bad.
Spoiler alert:
It ABSOLUTELY is.

I was a big fan of theirs in the Stay Hungry era - saw them on tour, even - so I bought this when it came out.
I *hated* Leader of the Pack with the heat of a thousand suns. Partly because it was just bad, but also because I detested that pre-British-invasion American rock sound, like the Shangri-Las.
I never heard from them again, and never went looking. I'm surprised they did more albums 😱
@cazabon Stay Hungry is arguably THE album of that genre (meathead rock, cock rock, whatever you want to call it). It was so good.
And then, THIS came and cost them their whole career. Everything that followed was wretched and calcifying.
Whoever’s idea it was to cover that song and release it as the first single… it’s THEIR fault. They are the reason that band’s career got sunk.
There’s no better example of how you can sink your music career with one bad decision than TS.
