Moebius was always drawing some bullshit

Hi Bluesky 👋 Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

BC's anti-SLAPP legislation was critical to keeping a meritless lawsuit @torimarlan.bsky.social and I faced to the "affordable" sum of ~$50k in legal fees. Journalists like Luke not protected by these laws have much higher exposure — even when, like us, they did nothing wrong.

Two Blue Heelers came into my life recently. They're cute, but they're fucking jerks. How do you even control these things.

My piece from last week got translated into French! Than you @pivot.quebec

You're laughing. Cheney lived a long life of doing absolute evil across the globe, and then died peacefully in his 80's without ever seeing justice, and you're laughing.

James Cameron has made exactly one good movie. Prove me wrong

I worked an Edmonton polling station and tossed a bunch of Edmonton ballot boxes into the backseat of my 2001 Corolla and then lost them. I'm sorry. It was my first day.

"I was just going through a phase in my 30's!"

'Your honor, I am simply an absolute fucking idiot.'

Why are we supposed to believe Jeromy Farkas ever changed from being a pro developer conservative on council? Other than a calculated rebrand campaign based on an apparently revelatory hike he did that time that he wont shut up about. #yyccc #ableg

There is something so incredibly satisfying about seeing a bunch of Edmonton developers and UCP donors light $1 million on fire

A bottle of olive oil fell out of my basket at the grocery store. I feel so guilty that I need to go to church

"Out of the $447,265 that Cartmell’s campaign raised in 2024, almost $223,000 came from people and companies connected to real estate, construction and development interests, well before most of his opponents entered the race." 👀 pressprogress.ca/how-developm...

Before nominations even opened in Edmonton's mayoral race, Tim Cartmell raised nearly half a million dollars — with half of that coming from sources tied to real estate, construction and development. How the development industry helped Cartmell get a head start: pressprogress.ca/how-developm...

Cartmell is currently 11 points ahead in the latest poll from Abacus Data pressprogress.ca/how-developm...

If you can't handle the political pressure of running a novelty t shirt store without periodic public meltdowns I'd recommend against running for mayor anyways

Every morning you wake up and it's like 'oh, that guy died. Huh.'

There are many books you can read that aren't 1984 by Orwell

Anything by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn has gotta go too. We need to weed out the 'every dumb guy's favorite book' list as much as possible

#1989 rb.gy/u1syni

I hate Ayn Rand and I hope she burns in hell but I'd never dream of banning her books. The Alberta government needs to better explain its rationale for this list

I support a book ban list if its just 1984. No other books, just 1984.

They banned Berserk vol. 3 and Brave New World. Who exactly got to make this scattershot list? Did they rip it off some US school district?

The Real Talk Jesperson live chat on YouTube is so uniquely cursed that gazing upon it feels like a part of you is dying

I know there's a lot of controversy about the Cracker Barrel logo, so I worked up a new option that should be good with everyone... The barrel is back, but it's now guarded by Scubble, The Cracker Goblin. I also worked up a new slogan for the company!

Why did two of this summer's biggest organizing victories happen in BC? Over at @pressprogress.ca, I dug into the policies that helped Uber drivers in Victoria and Amazon workers in Delta unionize their workplaces.

(Shouting on a beautiful small town Nova Scotia main-street) WHERE are all the fucking Original Joe’s!?

Kind of like that mess created by Monica Lewinsky! (Audience dies of laughter)

I drove to an Alberta separatist town hall to see what they're up to. They've been more busy than usual lately. #ableg pressprogress.ca/the-albertan...

Alberta separatist arguing in the comment section definitely real and not CIA

By professional wrestling standards Hogan was on borrowed time after he turned 30

CALLED IT, BROTHER!

Do beavers ever just sort of take over another beaver's lodge? Like, after the original beaver passes away from old age or whatever and the dam and lodge is intact, does a new one come across it and just say 'fuck it' and save themselves a season of building their own thing?

With the convoy occupation, Tamara Lich was never its leader. Not really. She was more of an instigator and later public face. Inquiry testimony mentioned several shady individuals and organizations that came out of the woodwork in the early days trying to quietly take control and provide support.

nice to see your mom is keeping busy

Might try to finish my Baldurs Gate run this weekend. Orin is going down. I’ll skip the annoying haunted house quest and go straight for the Elder Brain and finish this thing
