So, in the news lately - Kamala Harris takes over the candidacy for Biden - finally, the right move, and then - an even better move making Tim Walz her running mate.
Good news for a change, they both seem nice, and what a change in focus from the Trump/Biden shitshow it was the past few months. And - the news that JD Vance is Trump's running mate?
Well, never a better contrast in choices.

Other news of the world, the fact that Disney is trying to use a loophole - because a former customer once signed up for Disney+ they can't be sued for poisoning one of the customers (anaphylactic shock, waiter assured customer the food was allergen free, it wasn't, customer died) - which goes to prove quite literally what an evil company Disney has become.

And then there was the Elon Musk/Trump interview on "X", which - well, I've never been fans of either of them. For a time it seemed with the electric car and such he was possibly brilliant, but - the company he keeps, his views, he's easily every bit as evil as Trump.
Then there was the article quoting the UN stating that Canada's foreign worker policy is no better than Slave Labour. Of course, I've known this for a while, as have many others, but having it said out loud by a body that has some clout with Trudeau might mean a long overdue reflection and revamping of it.

And that's the news that I've been following, the rest, well, it comes and goes. It finally seems that capitalism is in it's final death throws, the world is heating up and - for the moment that's all. I've started looking forward to the US election...

More news, ridiculous, that Trump is now more popular in Alberta than he is in the US, and, sorry Alberta, but this can be no surprise, that Barron Trump's nanny has spoken to the press and revealed that while in school he tortured and killed animals as well as assaulted various classmates. So the apple never falls far from the tree...
