Anecdotally I have heard people today saying Canada needs to increase ties with China, a take that would've made you persona non grata just yesterday

Bad bit, invasive species are incredibly damaging to local ecosystems oftentimes causing mass die offs, if not extinctions, of local flora and fauna. See round gobies, Asian carp, and zebra mussels in the great lakes. More often than not invasive species are introduced accidentally into ecosystems by humans, they are not naturally migrating there.

We do see migrations of animals further north as the climate warms like armadillos and deer ticks in the Americas but these are not treated as invasive species. Similarly, species not native to an ecosystem but have become naturalized and are therefore not as damaging are not treated as invasive, like European starlings, dandelions, and pigeons in North America.

Now from a Vegan POV I don't know what the best solution to invasive species would be. I have heard some vegans make the argument that invasive species control is better as it results in less animal death overall but it is difficult.

I believe it does! Similarly everytime Daniil Medvedev plays Wimbledon he's introduced as Mr Medvedev (bear)

Are the RPGs they're using powerful enough to damage the tanks Israel uses? I would assume the blast would mostly be deflected by the armour

So does it looks like Milei will be able to pass many of his ideas into law? From a cursory reading of what the powers of the Argentine President are, it seems like he'll struggle to legislate domestic policy with the small minority of seats his party holds in the Upper and Lower Houses

That's the failed settler state of Rhodesia

Someone could sue Ford for looking at them funny and they would have my unequivocal support

COTW: Just saw the Chilean movie Los Colonos (The Settlers) last night. It was really good if disturbing western about the Selk'nam genocide in Tierra del Fuego during the settlement of Patagonia. If you're a fan of old westerns like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly I would definitely recommend the movie it has beautiful cinematography and soundtrack and really feels like it was made in a classic Revisionist Western style. I will give a CW that the movie is far more brutal than I expected it to be going in, so CW for SV/SA, depictions of genocide, child abuse/murder, and racism.

The movie really depicted how the genocide in Tierra del Fuego was carried out directly by capitalist interests like Jose Menendez in order to clear the land for agriculture and development. In a way that I think could be expanded to analyze the United States western frontier. The genocide of the Selk'nam people resulted in the population of the people declining from about 4000 in the mid 1800s to just 100 in the early 1900s. It also has a really interesting analysis of how different national attitudes affected colonization in the Americas. The main characters are a Mestizo worker, a British veteran of the Boer war, and an American settler from Texas, these three are tasked with carrying out part of the genocide. I think the attitudes of these different characters is meant as a representation of their "national character", the British character being pompous and detached in his brutality, the American being paranoid and violent in his fear of the ever expanding frontier, and later we see the idea of a "post-colonial" nationalist who wants to forget the horrors of colonization in order to build a nation. Definitely recommend the movie.

I just started reading it, but the book "Drug Cartels Do Not Exist" by Oswaldo Zavala would be pretty good for this. It's about how American news and entertainment media creates the image of coherent and organized drug cartels as a enemy to rally around in order to support capitalist interests in Latin America and Mexico more specifically. People here might have heard of Zavala before because he appeared on an episode of Trueanon. I don't know if it's available for free anywhere but here's a link to the description and the book itself: https://www.vanderbiltuniversitypress.com/9780826504661/drug-cartels-do-not-exist/
