Yesterday two settlers invaded the Palestinian community Mukhmas in the West Bank. They do this everyday.

Even if you think that China's reasons for this are selfish, the fact is that they're making allies of people whom the west has spend centuries exploiting. This is political chess, and China's winning.

Gives new meaning to that one line from Black Panther:

"In times of crisis, the wise build bridges while the foolish build barriers."

Who doesn't love strawberry? It's the best tasting fruit in the world.

Chris Larsen @chrislarsen.bsky.social · 14h

Isn't pink the banana-strawberry flavour? That was always my favourite.

Chris Larsen @chrislarsen.bsky.social · 14h

Nice.

Kind of a side note, but people really gotta stop using the term "hallucinations." It's really adding to the anthropomorphizing of this crap.

Don't ruin the joke.

Turns out that pigs can fly.

I'm Canadian and I've been to four. Two of them were layovers though, so I'm not sure if that counts.

Good timing then that I went NC with my family before the pandemic.

This morning I coughed up a pawn, a knight and a bishop.

I must have a chess infection.

Huge congratulations to Maria Corina Machado who has won the Nobel Imperialism Prize for steadfastly supporting Israel's genocide and calling on the US to invade her own country so she can be installed as puppet leader while Trump takes Venezuela's oil ♥️

Good idea. Toronto can only be handled in small doses.

Chris Larsen @chrislarsen.bsky.social · 2d

Toronto? Yeah. Moved from Toronto to Mississauga 11 years ago and never looked back.

I’ve been around wealthy people. I’ve been around people living with very little. And everywhere in between. The wealthy people are always the least generous. By FAR. Wealth degrades humanity. It’s not used to help us flourish. Not at all.

it seems to be grounded in a belief that there was nothing but brutality and violence in the world until Europeans got enlightened and started to 'civilise' it under colonialism

it's a fundamentally anti human attitude

just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”
