The cracks spread, glass fractures, & then it all falls apart.
Once again, I must remind folks that prices per barrel and GDP figures are insufficient for measuring the scope of the present crisis. Pieces of our economy are shutting down & that will inflict substantial downstream harm.

More cries for immediate deportation of anybody who doesn't look, think, speak or believe exactly like the founding members of The WASP Republic of Alberta.
Evidence, reason, science, and thus vaccines are now left-coded in America. Strong manly men don‘t need medicine to prevent illness, they need only their patriotism and muscle-mass to fight germs. Only the weak become sick.
How much more of this shit do we have to take?
Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
American influencers are coming to Canada and trying to film random street interviews— and then calling us rude for declining being filmed. We don’t randomly film each other in Canada, it’s you who are being rude.
The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
Iran does not currently plan to participate in further talks with Washington, state TV reports.
If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.
You’ve got to hand it to Pope Leo, who used a speech today in Cameroon to express “woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”
The Haitian TPS passing seems significant. Enough Rs have split because the Boss no longer has the juice. Maybe they can finally remove him from office?
Dr. Obama
We need to keep lists of places that are ChatGPTing all help agents because I never want to buy anything from them again
Over the past week, the president posted an image of himself as Jesus, the vice president challenged the pope on Catholic doctrine, and the secretary of defense quoted the speech of a fictional hit man and presented it as scripture.
It's okay to say that you hate this timeline—because candidly, it's contemptible.
This isn't from The Onion.
This is what we all have to live through—this utter garbage and sheer lunacy, day after day after day.
All because 75 million Americans were afraid of a Black lady.
Who would’ve thought ANYONE, ANYWHERE being anti war would be controversial?
But, it is. You speak out against war in any meaningful way and your life is over.
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.
Motion to equip every fighter jet, tank, and navy ship with ads like a NASCAR car or driver but instead of their sponsors, it's the programs like reparations and healthcare and housing and childcare and free college we could have had instead.
"Nobody's ever ended one war. Whose ended one? Nobody."
Donald Trump
Citizenship in the Republic of Alberta will be based on your past voting record because FREEDOM!
Oh, and being born in Alberta doesn't count either, unless you come back RIGHT NOW and sit at an empty table at the side of the freeway.

At Pentagon worship service today, Pete Hegseth again read a violent prayer to bless the Iran war. But this time his prayer was apparently borrowed from 'Pulp Fiction.' I promise I'm not writing for @theonion.com now:

When searching for the right chinos, you have to ask yourself: "How do I want to dress?" What is the cultural language that inspires you? You can't buy something based on abstract notions of "highest quality" or "best value." Everything is contextual.
Meta tweaked their algorithms to reduce the amount of news and political content on FB years ago, even before the ONA
They think news & politics pisses off their users and causes the company more headaches than it’s worth. They just want to focus on ads from brands and pointless apolitical content
when canadian journalists advocate to kill the online news act so meta will stop blocking news links, i feel like they’re operating under the assumption news on facebook still operates as it did several years ago when it very clearly does not
Majority of Senate votes to block effort to force Trump to end Iran strikes without lawmakers' approval. Voting continues.
BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology.
This is a serious escalation.
The US is deploying thousands of additional troops to the Middle East in the coming days as it seeks to pressure Iran into a deal.
The deployment will include sailors and Marines and comes as President Donald Trump’s administration works to enforce a maritime blockade against Iran, the report said.
JD should be excommunicated from the Catholic Church for taking part in this.
