HOLY JEANS 'N' JOGGERS HOW LONG HAVE I BEEN TELLING YOU GUYS THIS RED ALERT RED ALERT

The Globe's editorial board responds to RCMP in Saskatchewan --> "...the police whose job it is to deal with the media don’t understand how the media works. Worse, they don’t seem to appreciate the vital role played by media." www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

Am I angry about this being decided by penalty kicks? Is this extra exciting? Is this nbd because thems the rules? Someone tell me how I feel about this, please.

New inflation data out today and wow what can you say about these Alberta car insurance rates other than ... wow. 😳

If only all misinformation resulted in similar near-immediate, painful and visible consequences. (But I do not wish the long-term cancerous consequences on anyone).

Goddamnit. I left Lytton a couple of hours ago after a smoking hot dry week that sucked the remaining moisture out of everything. Coming up on five years since the town was destroyed by wildfire and it’s only getting worse.

Would heavily discourage being overly dramatic. Locals still bear the impacts of trauma and have reason to worry. But fire is a part of these forests. The *vast* majority simply refresh the forests. Avoid "not again!"

This fire is a few kilometres south of Lytton. Seems to have grown considerably. It has been very hot (33/34 C) here today. Fairly windy. The growth at 7pm is better than if it were 5pm. Lotsa helicopter sounds here in Lillooet.

No. There are two options, so it is not a referendum to have a referendum, unless you wanna separate. Options: 1) Alberta stays in Canada. 2) Alberta starts the legal work necessary to have a binding secession referendum. (But no promise of a second referendum).

Four. (But I did the word count after I filed. Sorry, y'all).

We are rapidly losing the outlets where new writers can learn to shape a voice, where they can cultivate skills beyond quick news hits and PR with the guidance and mentorship of strong editors and the benefit of a trusted name, and it’s such a loss for writers and readers alike.
