Cause it's definitely not possible to discuss Trump's threat without accepting his premise 🤷‍♀️ I don't think people are reluctant to talk about it. The framing just suuuuucks You can have tough, nuanced conversations without legitimizing the ravings of a wannabe emperor CBC can - should - do better

I really wish CANADIANS would not treat the continued existence of Canada as the sort of thing they should do amusing thought experiments about.

Before I got an iPhone, I would print out articles from the internet to read at lunch. But the formatting always sucked, so I made an article template in InDesign and would paste and style the text into a two-column layout with proper font and paragraph settings, then I would print that.

Charles is doing great work with this. I'm happy i recently decided to support @thetyee.ca monthly to help with kind of important independent journalism.

The public should understand that we're in what I call the Age of Missing Accountability. Politicians at all levels, oversight boards, professional regulators like the Law Society of Alberta, corporations etc. simply refuse to answer questions from the media.

This is not normal. (Please do not jump in my mentions saying that nothing is normal now--work your focus muscles.) My point is that the sign is culturally abnormal. Normal people look at it and think, "Cringe."

I know we talk about this constantly but it is truly one of the greatest mindfucks of my lifetime. as an 80s kid a Nazi was the most unambiguously, nonnegotiably evil thing you could even be ADJACENT TO, like morality for kindergarteners, and now we have to relitigate that shit every day???? ffs

It's not like the rationale even works either. You compromise with fascists, they just see you as weak and push you even further. You gain nothing - nothing at all - from yielding at the early stages. This has happened throughout history.

The older I get, the more I appreciate the concept of "IQ." Whenever someone seriously mentions the importance of IQ, I know I can shut my brain off because nothing they say is worth thinking about. It's so convenient!

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

If you’re going to force me to look at Nazi salutes by using them as the images for the articles you publish, have the fucking decency to call it what it is. Provocative gesture? Literally what the fuck is wrong with you.

And on the flip side, you have to be on guard against falling in love with your supervillain clients and taking on a sidekick persona that matches their theme.

I bet in the batman universe, therapists have an especially hard job because they know that if it doesn't work their patient might pop up again as, like, a villain named the Fish Fiend with a crew of longshoreman henchmen or something

Three online "news" stories published this week that include quotes from me that I didn't say. But I didn't do interviews and get misquoted. And they're not written by actual journalists. My best guess is there are massive amounts of AI slop getting posted as news and now I'm part of it. 😬

Mega thread here on the Mentzelopoulos bombshell allegations of corruption and impropriety within the Alberta government over its contracting process. If Mentzelopoulos has the receipts, this scandal should topple the government.
