I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Well they don't now. But back when Victorian Britain was the cultural leader of the English speaking world they did so we did. And now we are stuck with it. Blame the Empire.

OK I concede that I was ignorant of the history, but I maintain that calling games where you predominantly carry the ball "football" is silly.

The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Soccer is the right way to name the sport.
It's a clever shorthand of association.
Getting ready to make IEDs against American Occupation Forces.

Soccer organisations give peace prices. So let's all settle down.

Trump called out the Norwegian PM it seems. I am less than impressed by neither the PRC nor the USA actually knowing that the Nobel Peace Prize is not handed out by our government.

Does not compute for the totalitarian mindset.

The Minsky Moment

Surely you can understand that Trump would want to demonstrate his suitability of the Peace Prize by threatening other peaceful nations. It's one of many steps he's taken recently to prove his suitability for the prize, like bombing Iran and committing war crimes.

Who'll direct trump's inevitable 'Triumph of the Will' propaganda piece?


Or will it all be AI BS sliced together off of youtube?

Trump is threatening tariffs on Canadian fertilizers because of... price increases in the US.  :shutup:
No one in MAGA understands what is happening.

QuoteThe president has been very unequivocal in saying we have to figure out why all these input costs are skyrocketing," Rollins said.

Many U.S. farmers rely on Canadian potash fertilizer from Saskatchewan in order to add potassium to their soils. Over 90 per cent of Canadian fertilizer is exported, and the U.S. market accounts for well over half of that, according to Fertilizer Canada.

When Trump imposed a blanket 25 per cent tariff on Canadian goods early this year, he lowered the tariff on fertilizer to 10 per cent after outcry from industry groups and Republican lawmakers in farming states, such as Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa.

That tariff only applies to quantities of fertilizer exports to the U.S. that exceed limits under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on free trade (CUSMA).

Canadian and U.S. farmers said in March they were facing higher fertilizer bills amid Trump's trade war. Some Canadian lawmakers like Ontario Premier Doug Ford had suggested Canada should block potash exports as a negotiating tactic in broader trade talks with the U.S., a move Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe opposed.

The fact that there are still American Jews supporting Trump is powerful evidence falsifying the stereotype of Jewish intellectual achievement.

I see what you did there.

And also as usual, how can you negotiate with a man like that.  He's punishing us all with tariffs on stuff America needs.  Riiight.
