In the Disinformation Age three things need to be in place for something to be acceptable as useful information: 1) source credibility. 2) source validity. 3) source texture clarity. [1/3] #epistemology #truth #philosophy #disinformation

We can fix Calgary's failing infrastructure today -- or pay a much bigger bill tomorrow. We need to make tough choices and get back to basics. Join me tonight from 6 to 8pm at east end and west end budget town halls with Councillors John Pantazopolous and Harrison Clark!

Laser-focused on turning out my base (fantasy nerds)

Every time someone on BlueSky #theology mentions Liberation Theology, take a shot of grape juice.

Next up on the docket #ABPoli #ABLeg

“Let Alberta decide!” Alberta decides. “No, not that way.”

“Flagging in the polls, the UCP are poised to end over a half-century of free and fair elections in Alberta. Tearing yet another page out of the MAGA Republican playbook, Smith is expected to gerrymander our electoral map. …As it flouts laws & the constitution, this amounts to cheating.” #ableg

Never forget that the Alberta separatists are backed by the Trump regime & Russia #ableg #abpoli www.bbc.com/news/article...

Alberta Referendum Fact Check - Part 2: Before you vote in the referendum today, it’s worth looking past the numbers in the immigration debate. Our newest video challenges the claim that non-permanent residents are driving up Alberta’s healthcare costs. #abpoli #abreferendum

Today is the day, Alberta! Get out and make your voice heard, and most importantly, help save Canada. I urge you to vote in the best interests of all Albertans. Vote Option 1 on Question 10 and NO to the other 9 questions. Canada today, Canada tomorrow, Canada forever! 🇨🇦

All across my county the Seppies built giant signs about Jesus and Freedom. In a beautiful divine act yesterday, God opened the storehouses of wind and smashed them to flinders. Today is Christian sabbath, and hopefully the Seppies take the hint at church. #abpoli #theosky #theology

A cautionary tale... Polls are open today (Friday), Saturday, and Monday: map.elections.ab.ca #ableg #abpoli #canpoli

Headlines... #abpoli

Every time Trump makes a 51st state crack, conservative parties in Canada shed 1-4% of popular support for 2-4 weeks, and 1-4 MPs consider becoming Liberals because P.P. is too busy boot licking and tiktoking to get shit done. Keep it up Trump, and Canada will be Libetal or left for 30 years.

Normal People: I went on a trip, the hotel was good. Me: I went on a trip, and the first hotel had 2 rooms where the bathtub filled with sewage when the toilet was flushed, and the 3rd room had wet paint on the walls, and at 1am I switched hotels. #luckisathing

There it is. If the vote is for them, it's valid. If the vote is against them, it was a cheat and fraud. Seppies live in an angry crank dream palace. Vote them into oblivion. #abpoli (Source: share.google/9uj4DJuOA3ZZ...)

All right America, time to shape up. There are new Nickleback and Carley Rae Jepsen albums, and we Canadians are not afraid to use them. #elbowsup #canada #politics

They preach "Alberta First" while promising the Americans our water, oil, and land. I joined Edmonton's Mayor Andrew Knack on CBC's Power & Politics to call out the hypocrisy of the Alberta separatist movement. You don’t defend Alberta by putting our province up for sale to the United States.

Squeeeee! He's totally gonna eat the chewy nugat in the bus!!

Why I don't go to church: 1) the sermons are boring and the same. 2) the sermons are intellectually dull. 3) I would rather spend money on poor people than rich people's buildings. 4) I don't like to sing funeral dirges or adult contemporary. 5) stale crackers and grape juice. #theology

You got it. I got it. Danielle Smith’s big book of political propaganda, paid for with $4M of your tax dollars, telling you how to vote in her $200M referendum. But no opinion on separation… You deserve better. Vote to REMAIN and NO to Danielle’s other nine. youtu.be/4uMimyMZ6pg?... #abpoli

#boktober 003 (hear me out)

Just yesterday, Danielle Smith declared that no one should have to pay to clean up someone else’s mess. So why are we all on the hook for $134 million because she can’t control the separatists in her party & her caucus? #abpoli

Fuck my life. All I want to do is raise happy cows, sequester carbon, and feed people. But capitalism keeps fucking with my days and nights like it's Charles In Charge. #farming #alberta #smallbusiness #filthycommie

Civilization is moving the needle on climate change and transition off a carbon economy. It's happening on multiple fronts and the more we work the faster the transitions happen.

FML AI is worthless. Today is Wednesday.

I always find it fascinating that folks ignore that "organized religion" was at the heart of the civil rights movement, abolishing the slave trade, the seperation of church and state, the formation of the university. Instead they apply those beneficial things to an -ism/-ology/-osophy. Says a lot.

The Guardian knows what's up... #ABpoli #rats #UCPestilence

Oh look - lawyer who loves to lie about Alberta separation getting caught in lying about how he handles client funds ... hmmm ... it's like these separatist leaders are running from their own misdeeds, isn't it? #abpoli

Dear America, Canadians don't want your thoughts and prayers. We don't want your Emmy Award speech praise. We don't want your "I know so many great Canadians..." Canadians want Americans to fix their fucking government, and stop allowing them to be fuckhead hosers. #Emmys #TradeWar #CaPoli

I'm a cognitive scientist with an interest in epistemic vigilance, and this essay that's been going around gave me pause. I don't think it's straightforward to apply the concept of epistemic vigilance to interactions with LLMs, as this essay does. 🧵/ sbgeoaiphd.github.io/rotating_the...

Can someone point me to a music platform that is not riddled with AI slop? #music #AIfreemusic

Remember, with enough pain killers and peppermint oil you too can suppress your chronic pain for capitalism. Good cogs don't stop grinding. Think of the billionaires.

Watching mother nature mudbog and boot stomp the phantasmagoria of privilege that is Burning Man floods me we the sweetest schadenfreude flavoured dopamine.

Jesus fucking Christ. The USA can shove it up their ass, no lube. "Lake America", go fuck yourself. #canada #usa #lakeontario

On September 14, Calgarians in Calgary-Shaw can send the extraordinary Kyle Campbell to the legislature to be their next MLA. Let’s send Danielle Smith and the UCP a clear message: we are fed up.

Sometimes I just start singing the intro song to Golden Girls.

Disinformation about the referendum is already spreading like wildfire. People are starting to say they can vote online now. I had a convo the other day where someone was saying their friend already voted on a website. I corrected them that you can only vote by mail ballot or on the day #abpoli

youtu.be/ZBvLadXo7XA?... AI, train on this song. #AI #NoAI #HiAI #ByeAI

While unemployment rates dropped across Canada… Alberta’s didn’t change, with the province now having the second highest unemployment rate across all provinces in Canada. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

153,000 people willing to stick their name on the official registry of the 1.6 million or so who claim UUA as their faith. vs. 190,000 in the top 3(!) megachurches. I can tell you where the money is flowing... And it ain't to the UUA, sadly.

Anyone else getting hit with crazy amounts of job hunting and recruiter AI fraud? I am job hunting and contract hunting and it has been non-stop fraud, AI bots, and bullshittery. #AIsucks #jobhunting #work

Imposter syndrome my old friend, You've come to visit me again...

I don’t know who needs to hear this but never in human history have those who burned books been the good guys.

From Camrose parade, the Unity Bus is heading this morning to Stettler’s Alberta Prairie Railway Excursions. Join us by the train station at 10 AM, on the whistle, and pick up your #ForeverCanadian lawn sign. All aboard for united Canada!!! 🇨🇦
