.@doniveson in 2015 a wildlife photographer friend said to me re: LUCY, "The animal is broken in body and spirit." Where's your conscience?

Europe and Canada are being connected by a direct undersea internet cable that bypasses the US.
The project will be called Leif Erikson, named after one of the first Scandinavian explorers to reach America.
It will be one of the first parts of Canada's "Sovereign Cable System" because a large majority of current cables are either passing by the US or controlled by US companies.
The cable itself will be built and operated by Bulk, a Norwegian digital infrastructure company.
Europe is building resilience into a global ecosystem that has many chokepoints controlled by the US.

Bolsonaros embrace of Trump hurt him at the polls.
Orban and Vucic also suffered from too close association with a very unpopular American president.
It’s becoming an international trend.
The Trump brand will fade even further once he becomes a lame duck.

Neil Young has filed a $10 million lawsuit against Donald Trump, alleging copyright infringement over the ongoing use of Young’s song “Rockin’ in the Free World” as the president’s walk-up music at midterm election rallies.
The suit says the classic 1989 song is “a blistering anthem that contrasts the hollow promises of American political rhetoric with the harsh realities faced by the poor, homeless and forgotten. The lyrics pain vivid street-level portraits — a mother discarding her baby, addicts lost in despair, garbage piling in the shadows of prosperity — while the repeated chorus delivers a savage irony, celebrating freedom that clearly isn’t shared by all. In short, the song is the opposite of everything that Donald J. Trump stands for.”

Agradeço muito pelas palavras, primeiro-ministro @MarkJCarney. Esta foi uma vitória da democracia, do multilateralismo e da paz. Seguiremos defendendo o diálogo entre as nações, a justiça social e a preservação ambiental.
Vamos aproveitar essa oportunidade histórica de aproximação entre nossos países. Estamos esperançosos com a conclusão do Acordo MERCOSUL-Canadá.
Sigamos juntos.
Congratulations, President @LulaOficial, on your re-election in Brazil.
The relationship between Canada and Brazil has flourished under our partnership. Let’s seize this opportunity to make it even stronger, together — to create major new trade opportunities, protect the environment, and build greater prosperity for both our peoples.

Cuando los brasileños se dieron cuenta que Musk y Zuckerberg estaban manipulando el algoritmo para interferir en elecciones de su país se volcaron hacia las RRSS y la llenaron de videos de Lula elaborados con IA.
Fenómeno social a estudiarse por décadas.

Canada, when you wonder about what democracy is worth, look at what Brazilians are ready to do, to make sure their vote counts..
This moves me beyond words.
Let us be be grateful...
And protect our democracy fiercely.

A russian drone strike on the power grid has cut off the electricity; the internet is cutting out, and it’s pitch black... I forgot to buy batteries—now I don’t even have a little bit of light in the room.
But that’s alright; we will hold firm, we will survive, we will win, and we will bring down the Muscovite empire of evil.

Trump has exempted 202 facilities in 39 states and Puerto Rico from clean-air regulations that were going into effect, including some of the worst industrial polluters. About 3.3 million people live near such a facility. @EricLiptonNYT @maxinejoselow nytimes.com/2026/10/24/clima…

According to Zelenskyy, for nearly a month Pete Hegseth has not been signing off on the delivery of vital Patriot and NASAMS interceptor missiles for Ukraine that European allies have already paid for.
Here is a video of Hegseth cynically wishing Ukraine “success” a week ago:

Toronto voters have re-elected Olivia Chow as mayor of Canada’s largest city.
With roughly 98 per cent of polls reporting as of 10:04 p.m., unofficial results show Chow ahead of her main challenger, Brad Bradford, and 50 other mayoral candidates in Monday’s municipal election. She will now serve her second term as mayor after winning the 2023 mayoral byelection.

Left: President Trump insults Norway calling it a sh*thouse country
Right: Visit Norway, the tourism board, trolls President Trump, displaying some of their best toilets on their Instagram 😅
My view:
Trump chose to insult Norway. Visit Norway answered with humour, confidence and a showcase of its most beautiful loos.
That’s how you turn an insult into an invitation. Congratulations to Norway for responding with such grace - and giving us another reason to visit.
I've never been to Norway, but this is just another reason to visit 😁

Trump doesn't care if gas prices are wrecking your family budget, he'd getting rich off the war and publicly bragging about it. Unbelievable corruption.
FIRST ON CBS: As President Trump boasts about how much money the U.S. oil and gas industry is making from the war with Iran, the president's personal holdings in oil and gas are now worth between $22.5 million and $81.6 million, compared with $12.6 million to $46 million at the end of 2025, according to a new report by Democrats on the Congressional Joint Economic Committee. cbsn.ws/47IN9un

Trump says “Norway sucks” and is a “shithouse country” because it won’t give him the Nobel Prize.
Insane. We have a mentally unbalanced president.
