I’m very introverted. I prefer silence and my own company. I generally prefer one on one interactions with other people—they enervate me rather than energize. I’ve been stuck in a hospital since March and so I have had to endure a noisy environment, and a near constant audio drip of conversations about the minutiae of their lives. At times it is like water torture. I bought a pair of Apple AirPods 3 Pro. Salvation! The noise cancellation is about 98% effective (certain sharp sounds make it through but much reduced in volume). The battery lasts almost all night so I can sleep through disturbances in the room. Great product from @Apple.

Elbows Up is really feeling threatened by Canadians choosing not to fill out the census as a form of legitimate protest. They're posting the same message in hundreds of community Facebook groups all over Canada.

@romepix Yes sometime late in March is my date, and it happens whether I consciously remember the actual date or not. Years later I’m still in grief and mourning. At least the date was close to her birthday so it’s just a bad couple of weeks for me instead of twice a year.

I can attest to this. May 2026 is the 8th death anniversary in my life and I've done a tremendous amount of healing and I still have this happen. My bf just surprised me he's flying in the night of the anniversary and will stay with me for 15 days. It's set me at better ease.

In 1986, psychiatrist George Pollock documented that the nervous system activates grief responses at the same time each year - even when the conscious mind has no memory of the date

@mario4thenorth @Sotacor You know that these industrial “investments“ don’t have anything to do with the industry or investing – just like the foreign aid payments. It’s just a way to make money disappear into the pockets of politicians who live here.

INSANE. The federal government gave $175 million to Ekati Diamond Mine. The mine was losing over $100 million A YEAR when they approved it. Diamonds lost 75% of their value It’s now INSOLVENT. LIBERALS RESPONSE? “We knew the risks.” That’s it. That’s their answer. YOUR MONEY. YOUR TAXES. GONE. On a brutal gamble And WE take the L. Not them. Us. This is worse than negligence

Did the 2026 census online. Weird census – wasted a lot of time asking the same question three different ways. And all they really wanted to know is who is here and if they spoke English or French.

I’m currently stuck in a hospital and one of my roommates plays CBC radio all day. The amount of anti-American propaganda woven into almost every other news item is unbelievable. Canadians believe they are nicer, or generous, more tolerant than their American cousins, which in my experience is not even true.

Trade talks between Canada and US fell apart Completely. All thanks to the Liberals. Specifically, the Minister of Industry. Melanie Joly. This is a complete shit show.

@Brittan96355048 My whole family are Liberals - always have been. My first time voting I was living away at University, and I gave my first vote to Joe Clark. He swiftly got defeated in a no confidence vote but I believe in my heart that it was the correct and sane choice.

Okay story time! One day my mama called me asked me if I wanted to get out of the house for a bit and go with her to vote and I said sure so she picked me up we went to our mailbox to grab her voter card and she said to me their is one in here for you! I said oh really cool! So we went to our polling station and she explained to me what I was gonna do because I have never done it before so she was explaining all of this to me and I was trying to remember the steps on what to do so I sit down give my voter card then I go to fill out the ballot and I was shaky just from the excitement from taking part in changing things in Alberta! After I finished i got the thumbs up from many people as we told them it was my first time voting in an election! I remember the feeling of pure excitement knowing I got to be part of change as I walked out of the polling station I could feel myself beaming my smile was so big! It was super cool having my mama there with me! I voted for Jason Kenny and I was darn proud that night when he won because I knew my voted made a difference! Then Covid happened and I was seeing all that was going on in the world and here at home in our province! When pastors were being arrested for giving people hope and a sense of normalcy when the world felt so uncertain that was it for me I couldn't support him any longer! Between pastors being arrested and then when I did my own research on the vaccine and decided for me I didn't want it and then by making that choice I had to be not included in things such as going to eat in restaurants or seeing people I love! But thankfully for me I am blessed with incredibly supportive people in my life who respected my wishes! If you read this whole post I hope you enjoyed hearing about my first ever voting experience

She's just an empty vessel. When she was at Fox, she was a conservative. At NBC she became liberal. She was anti Trump when she thought he'd lose. She was pro Trump when it was convenient. Now, she just mimics Tucker for hits.
Jesse Arm@Jesse_Leg

Quite the flip. But, I mean, yeah. If you devote your program to alienating conservatives, Trump supporters, and Evangelical Protestants throughout the West, you’re likely to attract the opposite audience: progressives, Trump haters, and Islamists from the Third World.

@BigJoeBastardi In my experience people on the right post almost as much nonsense as people on the left. What is important is self correction and honest self assessment. Rely on fundamental principles instead of fluid ideas and ideologies and you will be on much more solid ground.

Mexico has no appreciable Wi-Fi or cell infrastructure that could possibly be considered adequate to serve an ideal like this. I cannot see how this would work. The last time I was in Mexico, all Internet service stopped at the line where the beach chairs started in front of my resort.

👇 Claudia Sheinbaum just made the announcement Mexico’s cash is being phased out. No more cash at gas stations. No cash at toll booths. They say it’s about convenience. But you know what comes next. Every transaction monitored. Every move tracked. This is the test run for total control. The Awakening Compass exposes the blueprint. Link in bio before the system locks down 👁️
