Canada sells us diesel across a border we can drive to, and Fuckface's answer was easing sanctions on Russian diesel. Tariffs for the neighbor who actually has the supply, relief for the guy bombing Ukraine. Somebody should explain the art of the deal to him.

UK PM confirms Kremlin influenced Brexit.

I expect both Russian and USA forces are and will be influencing the #AlbertaReferendum and our own intelligence services should be telling us so.

Incredible. Trump claims there is an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine but hasn’t informed the parties when it begins.

Meanwhile a Russian tanker is about to dock on the US East Coast that left St Petersburg *SEPT 22*.

Nothing about this sounds legitimate.

It's hard to express how big a piece of psychopathic piece of shit he is.

Screenshot of Bsky post by NY Times:

Hours after President Trump announced a deal to buy Russian diesel, a Russian attack in Ukraine, on Saturday killed at least 20 people. The Kremlin said there would be no immediate resumption of discussions to end the war. Trump said Ukraine should “get a new president.” trib.al/6soAOJj

this is the kind of mud that can stick.

Brent crude prices declined during Ukraine’s sustained attacks on Russian oil infrastructure but surged after the US-Israeli war against Iran began on 28 February 2026. Trump is 100% to blame for rising fuel costs worldwide, Ukraine had no impact or was actually lowering costs.

Line chart of Brent crude prices from September 2025 to October 2026. Prices fall from US$68.52 to US$62 while Ukraine strikes Russian refineries, then rise to US$94 and US$112.90 in March 2026 after the strikes on Iran, dip to US$78.09 in July and reach US$102.60 in October.

doors on! and there goes the day! 😂

apologies for the broken lens on the camera

still need a latch and key kind of setup but we haven't figured out exactly what we want

#PoolPond #Greenhouse #DIY #Gardening #Home #EV

two halves of the door with the top swung open. The bottom door has a small shelf on top

@chris.mstdn.chrisalemany.ca.ap.brid.gy Oct 10, 2026, 9:02 PM

back door hung! Will get another 2x6 to fill that gap. And we will stain it along with the rest of the wood. It is made of fir, (except the little inside trim on the plastic is yellow cedar)

still need to decide on what the door latch/opener will be.

#PoolPond #Greenhouse #DIY #Gardening #Home #EV

looking at the back of the greenhouse, they see a door closed with the gap on the opening side. Above is clear blue sky.

looking for the inside of greenhouse, the door is closed again the plastic obscures it's outside

looking at the door from the outside, the 2/2 are connected and swung out

now that 2/2 are disconnected and one the bottom is swung in a little bit and the top is out More

Time to take some of the #PoolPond and #Greenhouse waste to the dump! This custom canvas cover for our trailer is on the best car related things I've ever bought next to the trailer itself.

@jfmezei we definitely could. But that’s where the time in the fridge helps break down the oranges and release the juice

mission accomplished

Here is our recipe for Sangria (actually "Summer Wine" in Spain... it's what they give the tourists. Real Sangria has no pop or sugar)

ingredients (1 large juice jug)
- [ ] oranges (2-cleaned unpeeled)
- [ ] lemon (1)

@chris I have news for you, the oranges in your picture are actuallly pumpkins, that is why they are so large.

And here are some beautiful watermelons :-)

late night mixing.... #Sangria #Mixology #TradeWar #CDNPOLI

a wide angle shot of the ingredients of sangria all on a pull out cutting board but with the picture looking horizontal and close over the board. The stuff is arranged with Sangre de Torro red wine in front of a clutch of oranges and lemons. Another bottle of wine is behind and then a bottlwmor rum, cuantro and real lemon juice is on the right with two large bottles of Fanta and Fresca behind. There is a large glass container of sugar to the left

@chris.mstdn.chrisalemany.ca.ap.brid.gy Oct 10, 2026, 4:04 AM

making sangria for one last time this year. Maybe making a new Thanksgiving tradition. But these oranges seem freakishly large.

PS, the actual oranges came from South Africa. There are no American oranges in the local grocery store […]

@GhostOnTheHalfShell agreed! it is inevitable now and everytjing the status quo, including Trump and Carbey, is trying to do is out of desperation to squeeze the last million for their constiuency, which is, themselves and corporate interests

@chris

Things aren’t going to go back to the way they were before the war not for years and years and years at least, but realistically, not ever again

We are not in Kansas anymore.

We should not forget that this fucker is propping up Russia with this deal, because he is the dumbest thing alive
