Hey @dansavage.bsky.social. I have been reading your work for decades and listening to your podcast since the beginning. I met you at a conference in 2001. I think you’re great. But I have to give you feedback: you’re pronouncing Ross Rebagliati completely incorrectly.

I'm available if any constituents in Brooks-Medicine Hat are looking to organize volunteers to get signatures for a recall petition for Danielle Smith. Cheers. #ableg #abpoli
Don't ever believe conservatives when they say they're fiscall responsible. They don't care about your tax dollars and they'll hand out largesse based on the flimsiest of notions. #ableg #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

After Trump threatened tariffs, Mexico sent 10,000 troops to stop #fentanyl. They found only 150 pills. Meanwhile, U.S. officials across the border have seized more than 400,000, by Mary Beth Sheridan www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0... via @washingtonpost.com #WarOnDrugs #ToxicDrugCrisis
Thank you to @thetyee.ca and @charlesrusnell.bsky.social for digging up information about Alberta's defacto premier Sam Mraiche! He's shy, but he seems to have friends everywhere! www.thetyee.ca/News/2025/02...
Correct.
A thought. No matter how angry you might be about an egregious or noxious piece of public radio programming - you may want to consider the precedent/consequences of inviting cabinet ministers to interfere with such programming decisions. Because some day a future Heritage Minister may well do so.
I'm not going to link it, but @dhume.bsky.social wrote a column about moving Palestinians that argued "We used to rip people out of their homes and move them all the time. It caused death, misery and resentment. Why did we stop?" He used the Partition of India as a successful example. Wild.
As usual, @danaditomaso.com gave a summarized and excellent breakdown of Deepseek this morning on CBC's Edmonton AM this morning. I couldn't be bothered with all the fuss, but she gave me what I needed to know. She remains an essential listen for me on Monday morning. Thank you Dana!

So, my time at BioWare has ended. It was a wild ride with some fantastic people, but it’s time to look for new challenges. I’m an Editor / Writer with 26+ years of experience across video games, novels, short stories, newspapers, and marketing comms. If you know of a good fit, please let me know.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

What could contribute more to government efficiency than by securing lucrative contracts for your crypto donors to implement inefficient technology that is uniquely suited to solving problems you don’t have? www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
A good summary of the anger and glee in the reaction to the murder of Brian Thompson. There is a lot to learn from the reaction to this shooting. The American healthcare system is expensive, inefficient and barbaric. He shouldn’t have been shot. People should not be denied life-saving treatment.
I wrote about the coverage of the online reaction to the UnitedHealth CEO's death and how the media will always center those in power. If you've watched a loved one suffer and die from insurance denial, it's normal to wish the people responsible would suffer the same fate.

Now that Bluesky is getting some momentum, what exactly is the policy and systems in place to stop toxicity, racism and other nonsense from taking over? What does @bsky.app do to ensure the civility of this place?
You are up to date.
