Hi real archaeologist here, worked in the field for nearly 30 years, this is total bullshit, Indus valley (as one example) had major cities with clean water and clear equality (no rulers, similarly sized housing), we have rats today (ancient Egyptians had cats as pest control) etc, stop boosting 💩

Removing libraries is in the interest of AI companies.

The depressing thing is This is just Year 1 of cuts from public entities They are expected to do the same amount in each of the next 2 years as well

Forcing libraries to close is some James Bond villain level shit

I am an Albertan. I am an Albertan by birth. I was born at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton. I am an Alberta by family descent. My paternal grandmother's cousins - the family advance party - arrived in Edmonton before 1905, when Alberta became a province. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli 🧵

Our healthcare system is a Kafka-esque nightmare.

i hate the language of "redundancy" used to describe people. or recently i heard that a young, pregnant teacher was recently told she was "surplus."

"We've been a great government for 5 years and the economy is doing great but we can't afford the stuff we afforded last year because we did away with the bridge tolls." I'm a smart accountant.

Not an economist, but it feels like all the public sector layoffs will not be good for the economy.

Afaik this is legit and council cut funding for HRCE Librarian support funding

It’s been one year. We miss her dearly, but we know she’d rather us celebrate her life than mourn her passing.

For the love of all that is good, may this be the last big snowstorm

apparently when I said I wanted to see Les Misérables someday, I should have clarified that I did not mean "unfolding on the streets around me in real time"

When Feed Nova Scotia is speaking up to say this NS provincial budget will “strip away community services and leave those living in poverty further behind”, someone sure as hell better be listening. Every Nova Scotian who is living with food insecurity represents a political failure.

Nova Scotia’s budget came out and it’s one of the worst austerity budgets I’ve ever seen. I am going to use this thread as a place to point out everything that’s being cut. www.halifaxexaminer.ca/dismantling-...

Tomorrow, Edmonton hosts is annual Lunar New Year Festival at the Royal Alberta Museum. (Outdoor events cancelled due to weather, alas,) Did you know that Edmonton’s first Chinese immigrant settled here in 1890? Chung Kee arrived here from Calgary, via stagecoach, 15 years before Alberta existed.

Dante the cat loved 2 Crows as much as we did. A happy early pandemic memory was seeing him snooze in a box we had picked up as part of an order. We had a lot of happy memories there over the years

As Sean says, don't take career advice from Nepo Babies. I have a degree in Women's Studies & I can't tell you how many "basket weaving" jokes I heard as a student. It's not only a lazy dudebro quip à la Bootstrapping, it's also sexist as hell. Treating woman-coded artisans as useless is booooring.

Did u know they turned the game from Heated Rivalry into a real sport?

This is what happens when you elect, 3x over, a fucking goon whose only previous work experience was being a nepo baby and drug dealer.

I should not have looked at the 14 day forecast for Edmonton.

As a kid, I remember my mom showing me Best in Show. After her cancer diagnosis, my mom introduced me to Schitt’s Creek. We binged the entire series over the course of two visits. Catherine O’Hara was simply the best and I am so grateful for all the memories I made watching her work with my mom ♥️

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

Don’t like rising property taxes? Consider: - driving less/using transit more (to save our infrastructure) - welcoming development in your mature neighbourhood (to add rate payers without building new infra) - buying less from Amazon (they don’t pay taxes to us but use infra) - going downtown

i would like to suggest a deal with catholicism. if your ‘pope’ starts mercilessly beating people for breaches of airplane etiquette, i will convert

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.
