This is the future of mainstream media and if you don't like it, you need to build yourself your own media list of independents.

Why is almost every robust healthy boy with a robust healthy soul in him, at some time or other crazy to go to sea?

The Sprawl is doing a funding drive and I can’t recommend it enough. Essential Calgary journalism. www.sprawlcalgary.com/sprawl-birth...

incredible work. become uncarryable.

Key player in $280 million in treble damages, architect of a strategy that cost MLB a World Series *and* got laughed out of court, but sure, let’s go get his opinion. Might as well ask Jim Jones about best beverages for a picnic.

is that what i think it is

If you're trying to make sense of why Air Canada and the Liberals would be conspiring to screw over workers and passengers, I have written a book that explains this. You can grab it anywhere you get books. www.dundurn.com/books_/t2211...

I get that sometimes the garbage can't pile up forever or ERs need nurses, and some strikes need intervention. Air Canada's a private company with 44% market share & stock mostly held by foreign investors. Air Canada's *not an essential service* and the Canadian government has no right to intervene

He wasn’t some geek off the street. Was handy with steel, if you know what I mean. Earned his keep.

I read for the first time correspondence between Stokely Carmichael aka Kwame Ture and Pierre Vallières from the FLQ, and I transcribed it and talked about the vital need for international solidarity: noraloreto.substack.com/p/the-bougeo...

SCOOP 🧵 Two years after being caught using Clearview AI facial recognition software, Calgary police signed contracts for "image recognition" software that scours photos and videos for individuals. 1/ drugdatadecoded.ca/calgary-poli...

If you ask to try ice cream flavours in a long line you, my friend, are going to HELL! And there’s no ice cream there!

I want one

Starting a bar argument that produces several casualties by asserting that "Joy Behar is Dan Bejar's mom."

Tried to vaporize a medieval peasant by playing a My Bloody Valentine riff for him but he was just like "be this Smashing Pumpkins?"

Getting off Spotify. Wrote alot about it.

The fuckers will do what they’ll do but that’s never gonna stop me from trying to be a good person. So fuck them with an oil rig.

I found a map from 1979 of Via Rail routes across Canada with daily service, and compared it to a new map I made of cities that are currently served by daily (minimum 7 trains/week) passenger rail service. It's bleak.

cannot stress this enough: skill issue

EXCLUSIVE: I FOIP'd all the contracts Alberta Health Services has signed with Shoppers Drug Mart since 2020. They reveal the Loblaw subsidiary's deep integration into the province's mental health and addictions care system. www.theprogressreport.ca/contracts_re...

I am participating in the Run for Palestine Calgary this Saturday! I would love it if you could donate. All donations go to Islamic Relief Canada. Sorry about the photo. I don't remember when I took it and I was unable to change it raceroster.com/events/2025/...

Stores are so hilarious. It's all "capitalism rules!!" when they profit and "please give us socialism" when they lose.

Carbon removal is a distraction from collapse, not a solution. It won’t bring back extinct species, clean the oceans, stop toxins, or regrow forests. www.newscientist.com/article/2482...

I had a wide-ranging talk with CBC Saskatchewan about my latest book. All we have to do is take corporate profits if we want to build the society of our dreams ... www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

There's a weird They Live aspect to the generative AI craze in that youb suddenly realize an awful lot of people have no idea what good is

Wrote about how journalism’s slop crisis started long before that AI-generated summer insert. Sadly this isn’t a new thing! (Gift link so everyone can read it)

Isn’t it wild that there’s a housing crisis almost everywhere on earth? Could it be that lack of regulation, consumer protection & greed got us here?

Urban life will have to adapt to the inevitability of climate change, and our public monuments, which include our miniature colesseums, need to offer symbols for that adaptation.

Bridgeland Station will be up first, followed by plans for Brentwood, Heritage and Southland LRT stations. Westbrook LRT station also has an open Expression of Interest for a café. #yyc #calgary buff.ly/bYED1WK

This is the hardest I’ve ever been owned online

quick rhyme to help you differentiate: if he tells you to let love in, that's nick cave and has always been if he steals the declaration of independence, then brother that's nick cage in attendance

Don’t play with it. Don’t yell at it. That’s feeding it. Literally. Block it.

*smashing Silly Putty on the comics section of the newspaper* "We have eliminated any further need of Jim Davis"

That’s right!

“Hey yeah, no I can’t come in to work today, boss. I read a novel that really fucked me up.”

“Barcelona’s woes mirror the pain lashing other European cities: Residential real estate has increasingly been turned into financial assets by investors. A surge in global tourism and workers crossing borders has landlords favoring short-term rentals over protected long-term tenants.”

I don’t think enough credit is given for how fucked up it would be to a regular citizen in the MCU. Imagine the trauma of losing your wife in a random act of violence. Now imagine the guy that did it was dressed as like a bumblebee

The headlines here really don't do justice to the depths of racism expressed by Fuhrman. If Calgary Police had good sense and wanted to inspire a sense of fairness and justice (like police maybe should) this man would have been fired and probably charged.

For the Monday YYC crowd: your police chief resigned with no formal reason. Here’s one: his office was surveilling citizens’ social media, while the police commission was apparently kept in the dark. A 10-month exclusive investigation, the tip of a big iceberg. drugdatadecoded.ca/calgary-poli...

Pierre Poilievre no longer entitled to live at public mansion: Privy Council Office Poilievre ineligible to live at Stornoway after losing his own seat

"Stadium-led revitalization is the myth that will survive the apocalypse. New stadiums, as a vast body of academic literature shows, bring few of the economic benefits that developers, team owners, & local politicians promise," writes @aarontimms.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/a...

love to recall that Mezzanine is a perfect album, and then play Mezzanine!

"McLean’s allegiances can be difficult to peg down. After leaving the Alberta NDP, McLean became a donor supporting Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives in 2023 and decided only a month ago she would now be running for the Liberals in BC." 🤔 #bcpoli

seems almost perfect but automatic windows? what am i, the duke of windsor?
