If these numbers aren't enough to make EVERY ALBERTAN pause, look them over, and immediately say we need a PUBLIC INQUIRY to understand what's going on here, I don't know what will. Some points to consider a 🧵 : 1/7

The rendition and performance of O Canada last night was objectively terrible. The anthem is traditionally sung in humble service—not as an entertainment performance piece that is open to creative interpretation and expression. May that train wreck be a self-correcting reminder of that sacred duty.

It’s seems that Tom is the only rich tech entrepreneur who did it right and is worthy of our respect.

Boy, I love clean sheets.

Hey, restaurant websites. How about providing your menu in an accessible format instead of a flattened PDF?

It was two shirts. I like them.

The tailor called, asking when I’m going to pick up the suit I dropped off four years ago. You’d think they’d have called sooner, and that I’d have noticed I was short a suit.

@marlainasmith.bsky.social A correction for your bio: it’s Dunning-Kruger.

Remember when movie trailers were 30 seconds long and intriguing, rather than a 2'30" summary of the entire plot?

I aspire to whisk eggs like Dustin Hoffman in Kramer vs. Kramer.

Breaking: I am having my second brunch buffet of the weekend.

I once wrote in an office-distributed birthday card, “Happy 21, bro” just as a little Good Will Hunting nod. It caught on, with similar, age-specific salutations to the birthday boy throughout the day. Over 4:00 cake, he said that he was 27. The ten or so 21-wishers were outraged. I ate my cake.
