I very recently learned that the term “boycott” comes from someone’s actual name: Charles Boycott. Boycott was an English land agent who tried, in 1880, to collect unpayable rents from Irish peasants on behalf of an English aristocrat landlord. When he failed to collect the rents, he tried evicting the tenants. The Irish Land League responded with a campaign to ignore Boycott’s orders and isolate him socially and economically.
They not only ignored his eviction orders and threw manure at his process servers, but refused to deliver his mail or sell him food.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Boycott
It was pretty effective—the British government eventually had to deploy a thousand soldiers (naturally, because the state works for the propertied class and none more than the 19th century British state) at a cost of some £10,000 to harvest £500 worth of crops. Boycott had to be evacuated by the soldiers, who even had to drive him out, as no locals would agree to drive his carriage out of the region.
Imagine being cancelled so hard that your name becomes permanently associated with getting cancelled.
@Cornvelious_Dan There's also 'Fedilab' I moved to it from Tusky and haven't looked back. Just another option if one is happy with Tusky, that's fine too. ;-)
@AndyLowry From Twitter? There is an app called Feed2Toot. Might be for RSS only though, as I've never used it.

@rdaily What is a 'CT'?
@Paulos_the_fog Well, the problem is, that our publications/news in the west haven't been giving us the truth about Ukraine vs Russia. NATO vowed at the end of the Cold War not to expand further east. Since the wall came down, NATO has been expanding. The Russian Federation kept warning NATO that this is unacceptable, but NATO kept expanding, until they started training an army in Ukraine to NATO standards. This was worrying to Russia - you can imagine that if Russia started training a 300 K army in either Canada or Mexico that the US would be alarmed as well, right?
So, Russia kept it's patience until the last straw was the expansion of the artillery attacks on the Donbass (which is majority Russian speaking, hence they wanted to be on their own after Ukraine criminalized the Russian language. At the same time Zelensky stated that Ukraine wanted NATO to install nuclear weapons on their territory.
So one can hardly blame Russia for taking action - Ukraine and NATO never enforced the Minks 1 or 2 agreements, using the interval 8 years to train and build up their NATO army in Ukraine! At the start of the Special Military Operation Ukraine had the largest military in Europe. Even though Ukraine outnumbered the Russian and Donbass milita at a 6-1 ratio, Russia has decimated it.
Unfortunately most westerners don't know the story - Russia is in the right in this one. Sorry. NATO has no business being an agressive attacking military - it was to be a defence organization! Most Canadians know shite about GeoPolitics, unfortunately.
Ms.Freeland our deputy prime minister is a Ukrainian. Her grandparents were Nazi's and her grandfather was in the waffen SS. The western part of Ukraine is very, very fascist. It was never cleaned post WW2.

An estimated 13 per cent of fruits and vegetables grown in Canada go unharvested or are discarded, according to a federal government report. Many farmers say they can't afford to harvest, box and transport wasted produce to food-insecure Canadians for free.

Yes I've heard the magpie can be friendly to humans as a pet. Are they considered a crow sub species?

It's a sad day when even the Army people are less subservient to the Military Industrial Complex than the Politicians in the #US and the #EU who are ridiculous enough to continue fueling the War in Ukraine at the risk of seeing Nuclear weapons being used...
