Great column Short read Worth every Albertans time "In 2014, the industry hired 128 workers for every million barrels of oil produced. Last year, thanks to self-driving trucks, automated facilities and downsizing, that number halved to just 61." #ableg www.westernwheel.ca/opinion/colu...

It's not 1950 to which this global authoritarian movement is trying to take the world back. It's 1150. It's the divine right of kings they're after.

I think about people in my grandparents’ & great-grandparents’ generations who literally died fighting for the right to learn how to read and write and wonder how the hell we are allowing ourselves to roll over for this. To even barely nibble the AI fruit “just to see” or “because it saves time.”

This is just one reason not to believe that the industry and the Alberta government are acting in good faith. These leaks are the low hanging fruit of emissions control, and the AER won't even enforce existing rules and industry won't even monitor their shit. #AbLeg #AbPoli

What I did not anticipate in the Trump-Musk breakup was that the general public was going to feel the need to pick sides instead of wanting them both to lose which is the only proper and correct response.

One after another access journalist is reporting a convo with Trump where Trump says Musk has a problem. None asked why Trump let him have unfettered access to the govt, and our data, for the last four months, then. And what he'll do to make sure Musk didn't do permanent damage.

Whoever said this is just Kendrick v Drake but with two Drakes was correct. And, once again, I plan to pay very little attention to either until someone drops the unavoidable hit of the summer. Then, and only then, will I watch a summation video essay about it by someone Black.

One thing about trades is that a lot of tradespeople know that half or more of your business comes from word of mouth, and when you disrespect people in their own home, they tell everyone they can. Then you don't work for any of those people.

The fundamental way a lot of people engage with politics is picking a side and trying to win, which is understandable because it’s the way politics are modeled and how people are encouraged to engage. But it’s then easy to forget that politics is supposed to be about making life better for everyone

"Ted Brandt, Marathon Capital LLC founder and CEO, agreed that renewables would remain attractive to investors without federal incentives." Hmmm. So many online fossil fuel supporters have told me emphatically that this is not possible.

The thing that bothers me most about the Trump and Musk row is atmospheric concentrations of CO2 just passed 430 parts per million for the first time in human history leading to more intense temperatures that threaten to trigger climatic feedback loops that could destroy civilisation itself.

Reminder that the players themselves have readily admitted to behaviour that might not be labelled criminal at the end of the trial but is still abhorrent. One was slapping her so hard, another player left the room because it was too tough to watch, FOR EXAMPLE. That's who you want in the NHL?
