#amanita poisoning occurring in California. Don't forage mushrooms unless you know exactly what to look for! #liverfailure #death #mushroom https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/06/california-mushroom-poisoning

Franklin tried to teach kids a lesson; America still hasn’t learned it: If you shut people out long enough, the world eventually shuts you out too.

#canadasky 🇨🇦 Canadian author Paulette Bourgeois and Canadian illustrator Brenda Clark, are the creators of the epic Franklin children's literature series. I hope they sue this PoS. Franklin has true character. PH nothing.

"Between 1966 and 2024. White men, who make up 31% of the U.S. population, have committed 51% (101) of all mass shootings." It's WHITE MEN that need investigating. SOURCE: Cassandra McBride, "Mass Shooters by Race: Demographics of assailants 1966-2024

Canada to the United States: Please stop drunk-texting us at 2 a.m.

Enough of Russian authored (White House issued) rubbish peace plans. #SlavaUkraini

Carney: Intelligent, clear, concise. Talking as a humble citizen of the world, seeking cross country partnership toward solutions for ALL. Contrast with Trump: Incoherent ramblings of a narcissistic grifter who could not care less for his own citizens nevermind the citizens of the world.

"If Jeff Bezos walked into a Tim Hortons the per capita wealth will sky rocket" And THAT is the story of USA. Take the few billionaires out of the economic wellbeing stats and you find depression. On health, education etc the USA rates poorly among 1st worlds. No exceptional position. The opposite.

The beautiful big middle finger US tariff chart. Then, the world said to Trump: Right back at you.

Wait till Trump finds out how the multiplier effect of tariffs really work. Tariffs cement increased prices for the tariffed goods AND, where applicable, prices of the locally produced equivalent. The supply/retail chains are not walking back on a windfall profits now that sourcing will be cheaper.

"It is implausible. It's impossible. It's not true. And it's made up. And this utter detachment from reality... has become an increasing part of their economic policy. If you can't see the reality... you can't design the right policy to correct the real problems that exist."

WATCH: Barack Obama just surprised an entire aircraft full of veterans on Veterans Day.

Prime Minister Carney is a class act. Depth of knowledge and experience on Economics, Finance and Politics. But, also... The heart beat of Canadians. Leonard Cohen: "There's a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in"

Tiny Thursday. Douglas fir cone mushroom. Strobilurus trullisatus. Look at the sharp white cap and bright yellow stipe. Cap approximately 0.5cm. Western Canada, British Columbia. Lower mainland. More pics in comments. #PNW #FungiFriends #Tinymushrooms

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

What's with the WH having to make a quick office printer job to identify the Oval office...from the outside? That and the flagpoles/ communication towers to communicate with idk Russia? are sending messages to someone somewhere? Also: Good one Gov. N.

YES! 😝😜

Hey #fungifriends… Did you know mushrooms can be used for natural dye?! My wife @thisiskimqi.bsky.social created this palette from 9 mushrooms species foraged on the Oregon coast this last weekend! Yes they are permanent.

10 years and still no concept of a plan. Wake up people.

Rising living costs + fears of civil unrest = Draw downs on reserves and increased debt. Big Tech adding billions of (many off balance sheet) debt for the AI altar. Gov. wasting 100's of billions on ICE and Argentina. Foreign investors no longer keen on US. Result: US Banking system flailing.

😜😁😜

Got the Sunday video up early this time! If you've been seeing news about "oh no there's a spike in farm bankruptcy"- it is NOT as simple as "farms go out of business & then investors buy them all." hoooooo boy youtu.be/xon9A5_4tQw

Amanita pantherinoides? Western Canada, British Columbia - Lower Mainland , Greater Vancouver #Fungi #Amanita #FungiFriends #PacificNorthWest

Completely taken out by the grimly patriotic, American-flag riddled anti-tariff ad on the American League Championship Series. On Fox. With the stinger that the person talking is Ronald Reagan. Brought to you by Ontario, Canada.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

Trump the Mesiah is forcing world leaders to individually walk up to him on a poduim and praise him for his 'role' in ensuring peace between Palestine and Israel. It is sickening. It is all about Trump and nothing to do with the countless lives lost, in part due to America enabling Israel.

What matters is precisely this: the unspoken at the edge of the spoken. ~ Virginia Woolf

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year. The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Every journalist should have the following response prepared for every time they speak with Premier Danielle Smith: “With respect, Premier, that did not answer my question. What you provided was a justification aligned with your predetermined position, not a direct response."

Angus: American farmers who bought into Trump, thinking tariffs would help them—their markets are gone. Canada’s not making noise about it; we’re just moving in. Canadian corn is now being sold in Ireland, Spain, and the UK. Those used to be guaranteed American markets. Not anymore.

How TSLA hasn’t cratered into the Mariana trench is beyond me. I get that it’s in lots of index funds but FFS! If I ran any kind of fund, I’d never include his overpriced robot sock puppet company; especially when Boston Dynamics and WayMo actually do what he always promises but never delivers.

Excited to be on the beta ride. 🤓

Tesla's current value is hugely overstated. There is no realistic path by which they get to free cash flows that match their current value let alone your number. 20bn (based on, say, 10 years discounted free cash flow) is much more realistic for an auto OEM.

In nearly all of those 148: Tesla doors remained .. closed Meanwhile: Nissan Leaf, on road since 2009 and best sold single EV model worldwide on 1-1-2020: Zero fire deaths .. Picture from Germany 12 days ago: Tesla driver + two 9-year olds burned alive. All doors closed, rescuers helpless ..
