Lectionary readings today are about water. In the Anglican Communion cycle of prayer we pray today for the Episcopal Churches of Jerusalem and the Middle East.
Juxtaposed with the unfathomable evil of attacks on water plants.
“Pete Hegseth is a very dangerous person. He’s a white Christian nationalist and has the arsenal of the United States government at his disposal and a permission slip from President Trump to deploy carnage wherever he wishes against whomever he wishes.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
When I see people arguing that the problem with the war is that gas will be more expensive, or that Johnny Public doesn't like it, then I feel like they don't understand what the problem is with this war.
Right, because sound is what happens in our brains when waves hit our ears. The waves themselves are not sounds.
When will Americans who still know right from wrong rise up to end this madness?
There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
Lucifer has a point
These are not just places on a map. Innocent people, including children, are being injured and killed, their homes and neighbourhoods are being destroyed.
It's not about the tariffs. We are boycotting US products and travel because of the threats to our sovereignty.
Me, dumb and politically correct: Firing on unarmed ships or double-tap military strikes on schools are bad things.
So you're at the acceptance stage of grief
What to know before asking an AI chatbot for health advice apnews.com/article/chat...
"If you’re having worrisome symptoms, skip AI"
"...approach AI programs with 'a degree of healthy skepticism.'"
Chatbots "often stumble when interacting with humans."
Sure, but the possibility remains that Canada would be called upon to defend a treaty ally. And thus we can't say that Canada would never under any circumstances become involved.
Well, I won't quibble about probabilities, as neither Middle East politics nor statistics is my specialty. But the point is, future Canadian involvement can't be categorically ruled out given our treaty obligations (among other considerations), so it's pointless to ask the PM to say never.
I saw the title before reading the post and thought it was about golf.
I question your "in all likelihood" — there are other plausible scenarios involving Turkey that don't require US complicity.
What if, for example, Turkey, a NATO ally, is attacked and invokes Article 5?
Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesn’t include bombing people.
PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.
We said No War and the US government said "best we can do is every war all at the very same time oops we're almost out of bombs but that's probably fine when doing every war, all at the very same time idk we're drunk"
Post something you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.
The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.
Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.
Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.
this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible
Why did they want to rebrand the department of defense so bad just to be so afraid of the ‘war’ word now???
Hallelujah and let's hope Mr Dithers doesn't change his mind
