What is wrong with you @theguardian.com? A grossly unethical headline. There's a battle for truth against lies. Pick a side. Take your responsibility as a free press seriously! It may not otherwise last. Missed the lede? "Paracetamol is safe during pregnancy, why is the Trump regime lying to you?"

OH SHIT EVERYBODY

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

Fascist Nazis lies exploiting a murder, shouting propaganda, taking revenge on political rivals, and consolidating support to take complete power and suspend justice. It should never happen again.

History and the future would be a whole lot better if there weren't so many reruns.

Quote: "This means, alas, that minority rights are only protected when enough people rally to defend them." Get up, stand up. This is the moment. ✊🏾

This will cost jobs in the oil and gas industry. It will reduce industry research and innovation, the very things that we need to have in place if you want to keep the industry and exports viable in the the long term. The #UCP are so bad at future proofing Alberta. Couldn't be worse if they tried.

Now pay attention b/c you can learn an awful lot during #MinCup25. Unfortunately this will result in serious self reflection. For example TIL #cuprosklodowskite is top of the "Do Not Lick" pile. This implies there is a "Do Lick" pile. I don't even own a DNL pile! Are my life priorities all wrong?

Seeing the phrase "results oriented" on a job description has always struck me as shallow, thoughtless, and a little lazy. Much like AI hype.

Nicely done Fort Good Hope. #SpectacularNWT

I always feel fortunate to see such wonderful places with great people. The NWT is indeed spectacular.

I've never come across a rock this scared before.

Nothing that happens on these platforms is that important. They're not the hill to live or die on. Not everything needs to be read. Not everything needs to be replied to. Not everything needs to be commented on. You are not the main character. None us are. These places just want you to think so.

idk man i think chatgpt wants me to burn down my house

I think this game is called "crypto"

Shame on US Tennis and any broadcaster that complies with fascism by trying to sweep it under the carpet. Everyone, everywhere needs to see that the public are the ones with the power and are free to judge unwanted dictator wannabes. Say no to censorship of the people.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

I'm not saying leucite isn't cool (it is). But as a chemist (yes, even one who was not a fan of orgo) I have to vote for carpathite. Carpathite is basically huge crystals of coronene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

The most evergreen post possible about the UCP government. It just barely edges out, "UCP, donor and supporter wins lucrative government contract."

*cracks knuckles* okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public? now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.

if you see one of these it is your duty to let it hit you and take a dive that would put a footballer to shame making them a liability seems like the quickest way to get rid of them

Hark! Is that a mineral list I spy? www.mineralcup.org/2025/mineral... Lots of new contenders this year as we increase to 75% turnover for #MinCup25.

Good morning! A reminder on these hot ☀️ August days, never underestimate the power of ice-cream to rejuvenate the mind, body, and attitude. 🍦🍧🍦🍧

Yes, and SPF1000

Her words still ring true, as we are *still* fighting for basic rights for ALL. “Asking you to give me equal rights, implies that they are yours to give. Instead, I must demand that you stop trying to deny me the rights all people deserve.” - Elizabeth Peratrovich, Alaskan Civil Rights Activist.

The result of this gross ideological mismanagement is, as usual, predictable & will increase costs for businesses, individuals, school boards, the health care system, & government itself. Everyone will pay for Danielle Smith's #UCP govt catering to a vocal minority of vengeful right-wing radicals.

Take note one & all; everyone's feud with the USA must be much bigger than trade. Fascism is not restrained & knows no bounds. Until it is deliberately, unequivocally, & forcibly fought, fascism ever expands, infecting with hate & injustice & ruin, seeping insidiously into every corner of life.

We've known this for quite some time, so this is hardly new. However, in all fairness, Canada would be in a better position today had the EU not caved in late July. As long as this is not addressed as the collective action problem it is, the Trump administration will continue to succeed.

This is correct life advice.

Here is how the media should be reporting this morning's news. As part of a growing pattern of political retribution, Donald Trump's FBI has raided the home of a prominent administration critic. In this instance it happens to be John Bolton. The pretense is largely irrelevant.

The latest inflation data for car & home insurance, by province. Alberta absolutely in a league of its own here.

CALGARY Another #ForeverCanadian location for you: #Yyc

SHE LAST REPRESENTED AIR CANADA IN 2022!!! THIS IS BANANAPANTS!

If the country wants to see fewer strikes, the government needs to step back and let important workers strike. Short term pain for longer term gain; an economy with contracts negotiated in good faith = fewer labour disruptions, greater productivity and an ability for everyone to make reliable plans.

It should be a no brainer. Making vaccinations (or anything!) convenient and hassle free improves uptake. Improved uptake means less disease and disruption and (pay attention #UCP "conservatives", this bit's for you) saves cost. Danielle Smith's antivax political games are a cost for all Albertans.

This video from Fairmount Bagels in Montreal from their Instagram is the most impressive thing I've ever seen

Pay attention Alberta and call it what it is, dangerously anti-democratic. Danielle Smith's UCP is run by radical right wing fanatics who's only objective is to rule for their own benefit. Don't be fooled, they are VERY good a slapping lipstick on false claims, always hiding their real motives.

"Alberta takes its rat-free status seriously" Why yes, yes we do. "The presence of either Norway or roof rats in Alberta is not tolerated. A 600-kilometre rat control zone has been in place along the Alberta-Saskatchewan border since the 1950s" www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The Canada Summer Games are in St. John's complete with live streaming of the opening ceremonies & impressive young athletes. Opening ceremonies are at 7 pm. But of course there is a 3 1/2 hour time difference. Thanks NFLD, now we CFAs have to do the complicated mathing. www.canadagames.ca/watch

Amending rules that conflict with policy goals & block Canadian businesses from innovation should be an easy win to support Canadian industry in 2025. If the Feds can't adapt small rules to build hybrid trucks in <2 years, how do they expect to approve major projects? @gregmcleanyyc.bsky.social

So, to recap: they spun a "lib backlash to Sweeney" up out of basically nothing & it provided weeks of content for the vast network of people & institutions who get money & attention by shitting on the left, convincing the billionaires that the left (not the f'ing fascists) are the real threat.

Another fantastic #fieldwork trip to Conrad #Glacier for alpine data collection and station maintenance, with the support of CMH and NSERC. @unbcgeographyensc.bsky.social

If that language seems strong to you... well, it is. But those are all quotes from Harry Truman. My new book, out this winter, goes in depth into Truman's moral sentiments about the atomic bomb. He always defended its use — but the suffering clearly troubled him. alexwellerstein.com/writing/book...

Reality that is not in step with the news cycle is still reality. I think bandwagon investing, cheerleading (cheerlagging?), & policy swings have make the oil & gas industry especially prone to self-induced boom & bust cycles. Yes natural gas boosters, you have some valid points, and also...

The changing world of higher education in a single graph: post-secondary enrolments, in millions, US India and China, 2006 vs. 2024.

To be fair, I frequently also have this issue when asking people questions. Same base code issues I suspect.

I'm not saying it's guaranteed to solve all the problems at one time, but have we considered tossing the toxic male social influencers into a boiling sea?
