PSA to centrist politicians: You know those right-wingers you're bending over backwards to appease? You'll never win their love no matter how much pipe you lay for them.

It's cute how the UCP sees vulnerable road users (people!!) as manufactured wedge issue pawns. #yegbike #yeg

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

At least $50 billion for another pipeline. $82 billion in new military spending in 5 years. $300 billion in corporate welfare and mega incentives at an investment summit. But the cupboard is bare for Parks Canada.

a UK food delivery service experimented with AI-generated images for restaurant menu items that lacked pictures. they stopped when customers reported seeing some unusual new dishes. a tiger-prawn dish became a bowl containing actual tiger cubs. friends, i think the tech may not be ready.

An “Eby” is an own goal. A “full Eby” is an own goal in a home game in a half-empty stadium because the fans can’t even with this team

HAHAHAHAHA EVERYTHING IS GOOD FOREVER BAD THINGS NO LONGER EXIST

it's a tie at 47.24%!!!

I’m a father of two and you could not torture this story out of me.

Chronic pain calls for the chronic.

too many guys are bad-weird now, we need more with this kind of good-weird energy

This will never be me because I am bad at tetris

canada's first family

I think this is a good point. Yeah this has been a month for Canadian politics. Especially if you are a progressive/soc dem it isn’t feeling great. Between the BCCon win, the federal NDP still eating shit, the fed Greens wasting time with a predetermined leadership vote, etc its rough. However…

Some of you have forgotten how to shake your little tush on the catwalk and it shows

People forget that artisanal cheesecake craftsmen were rendered obsolete by the rise of the Cheesecake Factory in the 16th century. Roving bands of unemployed cheesecake workers would sabotage industrial cheesecake ovens in protest. You can read about it in *The Cheesecake and The Worms.*

Increasingly the word LONGEVITY associated with a product, clinic, influencers, etc = GRIFT! 🚩 LONGEVITY = RED FLAG FOR GRIFT 🚩

Fuck the police.

Free public parking is a subsidy and people always defend their subsidies. (and I hate it)

Local woman still wants to go back to bed despite getting a solid eight hours of sleep.

I made noodles, veggies and tofu in a spicy peanut sauce today and it was immensely satisfying.

Me every time I have to listen to the seppies

One of the great joys of Fall is taking the whole family out to the country and going black bear-picking. Looks like a good crop this year. Be sure to grab a bushel basket and some bandages on your way into the orchard! (📷: Kilham Bear Center via FB)

Something I wish more people would realize.

Current mood

Still covering Elon Musk as a business mogul and not foregrounding his murderous white nationalist politics is like doing a piece on only the clown career of John Wayne Gacy.

The premise of The Exorcist is truly terrifying. Imagine having a 12-year-old daughter.

This is like a cliche. The fit middle aged guy with a Pinarello on a roof rack who thinks that makes him qualified to speak for people who want to ride to the grocery story or pedal with their kids to school.

And hand-counted, by people working for an under-resourced office set up to fail. Despite how gross and wasteful the whole exercise has been, I'm thankful to those who stepped up to work the polls and count the ballots.

literally this comic except he apparently lives in Czechia instead of Nebraska

Bike Lanes Save Moms Bike Lanes Save Dads Bike Lanes Save Kids Bike Lanes Save Seniors Bike Lanes Save Commuters Bike Lanes Save Delivery Workers Bike Lanes Save Fuel Bike Lanes Save Emissions Bike Lanes Save Health Bike Lanes Save Lives

Nice.

One thing fiction got wrong about evil was that the bad guys would be cool.

going to start putting this for this question

Somewhere away from "We'll just win elections and make the big platforms behave!" and "All that matters is winning so we should just use whatever platform gets us the most eyes!" there has to be a recognition that Meta/TikTok/YouTube/X are permanent thumbs on the scale until we crush them.

Hey ho out there. Careful with “8 of 9 passed.” About 470k mail ballots on Q6–Q9 aren’t counted yet, and mail voters are running 25–30% yes on the constitutional questions. Likely final: all 5 immigration questions pass, and possible 4 constitutional ones fail. Smith’s Ottawa “mandate” isn’t there.

Update: All things that were broken before referendum still broken after. We can focus the rage inward at any time, Alberta.
