My Shattered Nerves

The UCP might make Edmonton pay up to $170M to rip out its own bike lanes. I've heard reports that the UCP has been asking for costs of full network removals. City numbers put that at $150-170M This is the same gov't that just spent $130M on a glorified opinion poll.

The city of Edmonton should absolutely fight this bike lane stuff in court. I have a good feeling the UCP won't exist long enough to litigate it out.

We are sensing a pattern

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

B.C. Conservatives celebrate election win by burning down old growth forest

during the 2023 WGA strike. a real one.

Unbelievable loss. An amazing talent, and just a really, really good person. www.instagram.com/p/De8RFy4pyov/

🧵Yesterday, British Columbia elected a Conservative majority government that ran on a platform of tax cuts and accelerating the pillaging of nature, or what the party calls “natural resources exploitation.” They also ran on attacking Indigenous sovereignty and trans rights.

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Next up in my occasional series: "Can it swim?" BATS!🦇🏊 As video captured by Rob Mackereth (@mack2526 on IG) in the Lake District, England shows, bats can indeed swim. In fact, they're pretty good little swimmers. But there's an asterisk. Also, standard disclaimer: do not handle downed bats!

New shirt.

Unplug all the AI. Listen when the men behind it tell you what they're actually after.

Uh, if liberals are the new racists, who are the old racists again?

Hey just like here in Alberta, where the environment minister is continually boosting O&G projects. Because Carney is a conservative. Captain Capital!

Everyone's fucked and has no money. It's really disheartening seeing so many incredible comedians and bands outright begging us to buy tickets to their gigs. These people should be selling out but... no one has any fucking money.

These guys following Ramsay Bolton’s career arc, here’s hoping it ends the same way.

Couldn't stop thinking about pathetic spider donut so I decided to draw him

We may as well just skip to the end and develop Evangelions, Musk has plenty of kids and exes to practice with anyway.

Today is my birthday and I'd love if people would share my artwork 🥰🖤

Albertans should be furious about this. Danielle Smith: 1) Lowered the threshold for signatures on a petition 2) Extended the duration in which they could be collected 3) Continues to pretend the people who signed the Forever Canada petition wanted a referendum Shameless.

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

The popular monsters of the era reflect the cultural zeitgeist. In the 2000s, it was zombies. In the 2010s, it was vampires. And now, it's women!

The Guardian's homepage right now... 1. "UK approves Jackdaw gasfield in North Sea" 2. World must cut emissions by 18% in four years ‘to find our way back’, UN says

Out on the town having the time of my life with the other Ohio Republican political candidates who thought the ad buy was a good idea. They’re all just out of frame, laughing too.

"I want to make it clear tonight that for as long as I am premier I will honor this mandate from Albertans & will not be holding another mandate on this issue". As the province funds a multi million dollar legal battle against the First Nations fighting the separatist question...

ok non-tech ppl might be hearing some scary things about "critical vulnerabilities" involving certificates. the main thing you need to know, without getting down in the weeds about it, is that the fourth seal is broken. lo, a rider approacheth upon a pale steed, and his name is Death

Albertans deserve real solutions to the crises they face, not scapegoating that divides us and fuels prejudice. Right now, all Canadians have an opportunity to reject this and say: we stand with migrants facing the brunt of this cynical, negative politics.

Yep yep this. I'm not celebrating over here. Sure, we've postponed (another) separatist referendum bid (they're not going to give up, because the people funding them and pulling their strings are not), but. *Confirmation* that Alberta is mostly bigot by volume? Not fun.
