There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it. We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics. What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

It's getting awfully swampy out there.

This is obviously the right decision. It should spark a wider conversation about social media platforms. We clearly can't - and shouldn't - just rely on the responsibility of the owners. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Do Canadian MPs actually connect with the public on X? I looked at RTs and views for every tweet* sent by Liberal MPs yesterday Out of 46 tweets, 21 Liberal MPs racked up a combined 475 retweets 34% had zero RTs. Only 17% got more than 10 RTs 3 tweets accounted for over half of all engagement

Childcare, emerg. management, health care recruitment, homelessness, housing and regulatory compliance...the list goes on. Muni's collect 12 cents of every tax dollar and are responsible for over 1/2 the infrastructure in the country, sanitation, water, most protective services, rec facilities, etc

It was -31 C when I woke up this morning. As I get off work, it's warmed to -11 and on its way to -2 by midnight. This might seem like a nice reprieve from the cold, unless you're responsible for functioning public infrastructure, in which case, temperature swings like this induce a lot of anxiety.

I can concede it's an objectively bad film, but I still enjoy it anyway because four year old me would want it that way.

Sneezing. At least once a year for the past several years I've tweaked by back while sneezing with the wrong posture.

"Yet, for every Jedi knight of politics, the universe spawns a Jar Jar Binks to keep balance in the force, to mix our space drama metaphors. Allow me to introduce Jordan Kealy, a man who considers his cowboy hat a human rights issue and an ostrich farm a constitutional crisis."

Bomb cyclone, heat dome, zombie fire, atmospheric river. Whoever's in charge of naming the increasingly common weather anomalies associated with climate change is fucking killing it.

When I was a writing tutor in university, intentionally misrepresenting the argument of a referenced source like this would’ve resulted in an automatic fail and potentially academic probation. Why are published authors being held to a lower standard than first year university students?

I was 41 when I learned that not everyone can pick things up with their toes. Also, when we get animated during conversation my brothers and I used a chopping motion to convey emphasis."

The fact that some folks at the Atlantic think that other people in other countries have to expend "effort to make Americans and their media look silly" is just adorable.

As stupid as people look standing outside to smoke cigarettes in -30 degree Celsius weather, those who vape have somehow managed to look even dumber.

It's that time of the year again, so once again I offer up my thanks and sympathies to everyone working in retail, this week and next. May you be blessed with kindly, smart, and above all, speedy customers, who get what they want and sod off.

Danielle Smith has been the Premier of Alberta for four years, leading a party that's been running the province since 2019, and at some point in the next few months she's going to have to announce a multi-billion dollar deficit. She needs a scapegoat. That's all this is.
