For sale: Arc of moral universe, never bent.

Am I the only one who finds it slightly galling that premiers are pitching major projects to an open-eared prime minister right now -- including pipelines -- as a province burns around them and people are forced to evacuate????? As a result of wildfires which are exacerbated by climate change???

Why do nation-building projects always have to be about hewing wood and drawing water? Why can't nation-building plans be about knowledge or science?

Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."

We wouldn’t want a pesky investigative report coming out during a by-election period now, would we?

There's something surreal about watching this Conservative MP speak in the House about how "words matter" knowing the son he raised (Keean Bexte) called me a filthy whore last week lmao

I’m trying to bring a non profit lgbt group back to the city of Moose Jaw. I have a name and Facebook page! Yay. I need some volunteers to be on the board. If you can’t that’s fine but maybe give us a follow, likes and shares? Thank you! m.facebook.com/story.php?st...

As an Albertan, I watch what's happening in New Zealand with horror and foreboding and sympathy. What are we doing?? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

I don't know the other three books on the list, but Alison Bechdel's brilliant, poignant graphic novel Fun Home is a modern classic. Is it appropriate for elementary students? Well, no. But for a sensitive high school student? Absolutely. @AlisonBechdel is a legend. calgaryherald.com/news/local-n...

An LLM does not "help you write your books". An LLM prevents you from writing*your* books, while you are helping the LLM generate its books.

Montem: 1) dumped debris into Crowsnest Creek while installing a bridge. 2) In the process it had failed to install erosion & sediment controls at site. 3)dumped more material on a floodplain without proper drainage 4) excavated two borrow pits without provincial authorization on public lands.

Dear Mr. Clegg I have started a business, selling the contents of your house I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house Without this access my company will not be profitable Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree Please advise how I should proceed

If you buy her products, this is what you fund. An actual hate movement based on misinformation and right wing substacks. A movement that any even slightly non-conforming woman is now literally in danger from. Actual lives are more important than your Hogwarts House.

I’ll keep howling it until more of you get it: The AHS contract procurement scandal is the only thing we should be focussed on. Separation is a distraction. It’s all about THIS. You are not dogs, #ableg. Stop reacting to every UCP “squirrel”. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Could we—for fun, for science, darlings take your pick—but could we talk about what we’re doing in a geeky joyful nerdout way even if it’s small or is that too much like bragging or some inscrutable social code i don’t understand things that please you inordinately. I got to try olive oil soap! 🤩

I found this piece extremely helpful in understanding what's happening to me and some of the people I love.

Survive out of spite. Tell your story.

I covet MANY things up for grabs on the Genre for Trans auction, but I really, really want sweet revenge. @sambeckbessinger.bsky.social is offering the chance to immortalise your worst (male) boss in her upcoming menopausal werewolf novel all about that rage. www.32auctions.com/organization...

“The scandal is all about Trudeau. It’s his hatred of Alberta that made me do the corruption.”

I'm gonna call up @mark-carney.bsky.social and demand a pony. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

I would pay a *hefty* monthly fee to the owners of Microsoft, Google, Meta -- line up, all you tech boys -- to never be plagued by GenAI/LLMs again.

Medicine Hat…every single Saturday…it’s called SHOWING UP!

Exceptional speech by the member from Lesser Slave Lake today. It shouldn’t be the case that MLAs seem to become so much better once they’re kicked out of the UCP, but it does seem to be a pattern that’s held since 2018. #ableg #abpoli h/t @asingleton17.bsky.social for clipping it!!

I hope someone got Pierre a nice soothing balm for this third-degree burn.

Many thanks to everyone who is sharing this. As tends to be the way of things, the whims of the algorithm will no doubt dictate whether or not I have 100 fewer books sitting here in my house by the end of the Friday!

Hello. My name’s Pierre. Listen, I got voted out of my own riding 20 minutes from where I live for free because I was so busy rage farming I didn’t do anything for my own constituents but if you vote for me here 3300 kilometres away from where I live I will absolutely represent your best interests.
