It’s impossible to overstate how much ai is melting brains

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Matthew Dowd was fired from MSNBC for stating that Charlie Kirk pushed hate speech. Brian Kilmeade just called for homeless people to be given lethal injections live on air and Fox is not firing him. The left and the right are not the same.

I knew things would get bad and weird, I did not anticipate however that mainstream media would immediately coalesce around a fictional concept of Kirk that all but ignores what exactly made him popular with MAGA, and very rich.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

somehow we elected a liberal government but got danielle smith’s climate and energy policy

In Saskatchewan, do retired/superanuated teachers all have group life insurance?

Saskatchewan monthly respiratory disease (CRISP) report: After a quiet spring/summer for COVID in Saskatchewan, indicators tick up. Overall, cases remain low compared to previous 4 years. For 4 weeks ending Sept 6 COVID hospital admits averaged 7/week. No ICU admits. RSV & flu remain low. 1/2

BREAKING: Debbie Robinson, the grandmother of Tyler Robinson, who killed Charlie Kirk: “My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump. Most of my family members are Republican. I don’t know any single one who’s a Democrat.”

Is the Wall Street Journal going to issue an apology for their headline this morning that turned out to be completely false conflating Tyler Robinson with the Transgender movement? This comment, scratched on the spent shell casing has nothing to do with being Transgender.

The gun culture into which Tyler Robinson was born.

Friendly reminder that $100 million is 10% of the ENTIRE budget of ALL of healthcare in Saskatchewan for one year. Remember that when you’re in a hospital that doesn’t have adequate staffand your elderly mom is a bed in the hallway.

While I agree that the provincial government should have done more to help Richmound sooner (& I’m NO fan of Premier Moe), this opposition member is also part of the government, & could have been more vocal much sooner as well. Plenty of us WERE raising the alarm from the start. Why not the NDP?

Co-workers: I've listened to him, he makes valid points. He thinks like us. This is Southern Alberta. I'm not "us". I'm "them". My pronouns I suppose. Kirk's death is a tragedy, I feel for his family and loved ones. There will be more unfortunately.

I have no idea who committed the atrocity at UVU today. But the two released videos so far—per multiple law enforcement analysts on multiple media outlets—suggest a professional hit. That makes this much more complex, and far less likely to be the product of simple partisanship.

Charlie Kirk - how likely it is that is a false flag operation to demonize leftists and distract MAGA from the Epstein files?

Trump orders flags to half mast for Charlie Kirk but wouldn't even call the Gov of Minnesota after Democratic elected officials were killed in Minnesota by a Trump supporter. Democratic lives do not matter to Trump

Is the flatlanders feed broken or is it just my blue sky?

I think it’s wonderful that they want to build a treatment centre at Batoche, but the problem is the lack of local staff who are qualified to work there. They can’t even staff the treatment centre in Lumsden because pyschologists and addictions counsellors won’t drive from Regina to work there.

The urgent care centre in Saskatoon, that’s been promised since 2020 isn’t even built yet!

Question to all the Canadian Gen Xers on Bluesky…how many of you have already picked the Tragically Hip song that’s going to be played at your funeral and what song is it?

I don’t understand immigration policy enough to know if this video is bullshit or not, but I do like his approach of encouraging empathy while talking about a subject that seems to bring the racists out of the woodwork.

More examples of abuse of the LMIA and TFW program. This time for jobs in Saskatoon where a high school diploma is all that's needed #canada #cdnpoli #saskatchewan #saskatoon #frankdomenic🍁

I wish everyone in Saskatchewan understood that the amount of money being budgeted to stick it to the federal liberals by in investing in coal plants that are simply leading to climate change and should be phased out is ALSO the same amount as the budget for one year of all of healthcare.

Is there Sasktel wireless cell outage in Saskatoon?

Canada has some of the highest per capita emissions in the world, and Saskatchewan is 25% higher than other provinces. That’s why climate change activism is more important here than anywhere else even if it feels hopeless.

This is my brother in law Rob Grosse!

Saskatchewan’s own Nessie? The tale of the Turtle Lake Monster

When will the results of the byelection in Battleriver-Crowfoot come out? I assume it might be complicated with everyone writing in the name of their chosen candidate.

My wife must travel to #BritishColumbia to get a #PETScan for her #cancer because #Saskatchewan has only one machine in #Saskatoon. It’s booked solid and my wife needs a scan NOW to save her life. Why is a PETscan NOT available in #Regina? What the #fuck is #JeremyCockrill doing!? #skpoli

The 2025 version of the song would be called “BPD discord admin”

I’m turning 50 on Saturday and I realized today I am not ok about any of it.

My teen thought the rewind button on the cassette player was an innovation that kept us* from having to use a pencil to rewind the tape once it had played. The epiphany subsequent to my explanation was fun. *middle class family with reasonable access to updated yet old technology

A sign your provincial government (SK) is grossly incompetent is they are okay with years of drought for farmers and summers where no one can go outside because of fires.They would rather ruin the earth and our lives as long as they can deny climate change and please political donors.

The Globe and Mail has been breaking stories on MHCare and the children's medication from Turkey since 2023. And we are gonna keep doing it. --> www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

My husband fed a mountain treats to the cat into his food dish like he was filling a cereal bowl for a giant. An hour later, I found a freshly murdered mouse on the carpet by the front door. Is murder the word for “thanks” in cat language?

The dam has burst

Lies by Environment Canada air quality reporting is hurting children playing outside without respirators to protect them. #YQR #Cdnpoli

I know my Garden looks like crap, from the lack of rain, frost on June 22 and from the lack of sun. What are other people experiencing?

More than 1,700 people have been forced from their homes across northern Sask. Communities are burning. Firefighters are exhausted. Leaders are begging for help. “My constituents are doing everything they can to protect each other. The Sask. Party? Missing in action.” — MLA Leroy Laliberte

One of @billyonions.bsky.social best friends was a survivor of the abuse at Saskatoon Christian Academy and died before he got justice. The trauma drove him to drink until he was so weak that Covid killed him at 48. Everything one of these monsters are found guilty, I think of him.

In the last few weeks, I’ve had two or three posts, go viral and get shared by a lot of accounts that don’t follow me. It makes me think there’s a lot more bots on Bluesky than we realize.

I had been feeling very lonely and disconnected since the stress of supporting my husband with his mother passing. But today, we helped some really good kids get their life back on track and I instantly felt like we were back on track too. Tired, with a lot less money, but like ourselves again.

During the election campaign, Mark Carney pledged to increase the CBC’s budget by $150 million dollars a year. Now that he’s in government, he’s telling the public broadcaster to find up to $198 million in annual cuts. He can’t claim to defend the country when he’s gutting its media and culture.

Mark Carney is using the Stephen Harper playbook for First Nations. First Nations are not allowed to bring their technical teams to meet government over mega project legislation. Carney says it is "economic efficiency." No Mark, it is colonialism. The lawsuits and protests are coming.

My husband‘s mother passed away 10 days ago, and he thought he would go back to work today on the same floor, where she passed, at the same hospital where she passed. I knew he was never going to get to this shift, but I had to let him try. Grief is complicated.

A family lawyer in Swift Current, Sask., says he and his colleagues are seeing a growing number of marriages break up over what he describes as 'radicalization,' potentially due in part to online misogyny feeding to a culture of coercion and abuse: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but if you think of the dumbest person you've ever met that had the worst ideas you've ever heard of and you roll them into a ball of incompetence that is only beaten by their overconfidence you end up with any one of the pylons sitting on the Sask Party back bench.

How do I find forecast for how long the extremely horrible smoke will last in central Saskatchewan? I’m just trying to plan my week. Also if you don’t have one of these air scrubbers, make one.
