so many people in the replies who never bothered to read the article.

unsurprising to see that Blair is still a massive cock of the highest order.

stopped by to sign the Water Not Coal petition @waternotcoalab.bsky.social and met the man himself Corb Lund. #ableg #yyc

this whole thread is just people yelling past each other. "LLMs can be a useful tool" "but companies keep shoving it down everyone's throats" it's the fucking waffles meme again.

Thomas Prosser and William Peachey left us with this marvel of a station, officially opened in 1877. Substantive repairs were completed in 1947 following damage sustained during World War II, and here is what we are left with. (Apologies for the Azuma!) #YorkRailwayStation

A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

The stakes in this referendum are too high to sit it out. We need to build a solid case, not just for staying put, but for a stronger Alberta within a better Canada. That's why I'm joining other prominent conservatives in making the case for Alberta to lead, not leave. www.leadnotleave.ca

I'm a grumpy Englishman and I say hello, thank-you and make all the other small talk possible - probably much to the annoyance of the other person - to folks in service jobs, so nobody else has any excuse.

decided to watch the EFL Championship playoff final this morning since I happened to be up at 7:30am. wasn't worth it. congrats to Hull City though. (I grew up watching Middlesbrough)

just saw a robin catch a giant worm at 5:54pm. so i think we should challenge some assumptions.

"Helping Danielle Smith avoid a leadership review is a Danielle Smith problem." Columnist Jen Gerson says the premier could’ve avoided a referendum entirely, but instead she chose that path & turned it into an Alberta issue to protect her political career LISTEN: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s...

we're governed by complete dipshits.

Gerson doesn't normally mince her words but she's really not mincing her words this time. open.substack.com/pub/theline/...

Let's have a referendum on whether we should have a referendum on whether we should have a referendum on whether we should have a referendum on whether we should have a referendum on whether we should have a referendum on whether we should have a referendum on whether we should have a referendum on

for fucks sake.

Jen Gerson on Danielle Smith's upcoming announcement: "The rumour is to put some form of a succession question on the ballot in October ... if that's the case then effectively we are sleepwalking into a very serious, catastrophic, self-inflicted, and idiotic political crisis of our own making."

is this supposed to be some sort of gotcha?

what the FUCK is my home country up to.

I think you're all giving them too much credit. it's pretty obvious they drafted comms for a likely eventuality (as most comms teams would do) and then through sheer incompetence managed to release it. they don't deserve the implication that they're smart enough for another explanation! #ableg

The ahmadinejad thing is unstoppably hilarious. Zoomers don’t know this but it seemed like every day in my teen years CNN was telling me how much this guy was Hitler We apparently wanted to install Hitler, but were too dumb and violent to make it work

said it before and I'll keep saying it: pretty sure Danielle Smith isn't a separatist. did separatists start trying to take over the UCP? sure. is Smith's position beholden to those separatists? also yes. but the only thing Danielle Smith cares about is herself.

Jordan Leichnitz on Danielle Smith's irresponsible push for a sovereignty question: "We have a southern neighbour who's expressed very keen interest in what's happening in Alberta ... and that has had no compunction interfering in other countries when it comes to things like elections & leadership."

Our thoughts and prayers are with the UCP Caucus Communications staff today.

The UCP Caucus accidentally sent a press release outlining the 'decision' of the committee that determined the fate of the Forever Canada petition... before it adjourned. A predetermined outcome. No vote. No debate. No respect for democracy. No respect for Albertans. youtube.com/shorts/tyQtJ...

we deserve a better class of dipshits than this.

And then they apparently ran out of time to pass the motion, because they are clowns

Worth noting as we see both Nate Horner and Matt Jones resign their cabinet positions. Both were asked two weeks ago if they support the Premier calling a separation referendum on her own. Horner said she shouldn't while Jones said UCP should push harder to stay in Canada.

a reminder that Taylor Lorenz has always been batshit. I do find it kinda funny that some (not OP, to be clear) try to label this as her moving to the right. like, no - it's just that for a while her popular (in certain terminally online groups) takes distracted from the rest of it.

I knew this gave a familiar vibes

Danielle Smith is giving in to the separatists to save her own political skin. She thought she could control them, but in reality, they control her. youtube.com/shorts/jEdLH...

excuse me what

back in my day we didn't wait for ai vibe codes to crash the website, we had real authentic human billionaire owners wandering around the server stacks pulling out random cables

No I can guarantee that if the Bsky app released a new version that let you use an AI to conjure up an image description on demand, half the site would have a screaming tantrum, because they're on a hair trigger for anything described as "AI".

The man who bankrupted a casino has now also managed to produce the first football world cup nobody wants to attend, there has never been anyone else who ever possessed this level of ability at failing

I chose Canada and I chose Alberta. Alberta leaving Canada would mean losing the Canadian passport and frankly that's not what I signed up for. @4alberta4canada.bsky.social #ableg #ab #yyc

"you read their words, felt like you had read something else, and responded to the latter" should be embossed on the Bluesky coat-of-arms.

* crash into someone's mentions * yell at them incoherently * tell them they're the problem man I dunno. if I wanted to use something I probably wouldn't shit in the metaphorical punch bowl but maybe I'm doing it wrong.

begging people to go into their local stores, call the staff a bunch of fuckwits and let us know how it goes. hell, video it too if you can. I could do with the laugh.

getting banned for trolling the moderators of a website is literally fascism.

lotta replies illustrating my point. as the old saying goes: if everyone around you is an asshole, maybe you just surround yourself with assholes. or something.

"cop ass bullshit" lmao this is social media you absolute weapon.

still amazed that people are surprised when they catch suspensions for pushing their luck regarding rules. like what do you expect.

I feel a lot of Internet Communists like to think they'd be running the gulags when in reality they'd be the first ones getting sent to them. authoritarianism can fuck off regardless of where on the political spectrum it is.

we put the worst people in charge of a country and you will absolutely believe what happened next

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

oh come the fuck off it
