While DW News tries to take a balanced approach to the discussion of the recent ban on private e-scooter rental companies in Paris and other cities, it's striking how autonormative the story is. The speaker from the EU commission tries to re-focus the messaging. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ma6E...

convincing people that computers are smart was a huge mistake. computers are exactly as stupid now as they were in 1975, they're just much faster at stupid.

Danielle Smith has misled Albertan's on the new AI center's electricity use... She's talked a lot about minimal water use as well... But what happens when we look at the water use of the dedicated power plant? It could have a much bigger impact than she says. #abpoli

Why Do We Have A Meeting With HR?

Once again, this agreement makes vague references to the province offering "financial incentives" that would encourage oil sands companies to double their production in a decade. What, exactly, are those incentives? #abpoli #cdnpoli

Ideally I don’t think politicians need to be emphasizing how masculine or feminine they are. This obsession with asserting traditional gender roles is a very clear conservative agenda and it’s a bunch of made up bullshit anyways

The change in our relationship with US should be sufficient to create legislation to prevent foreign ownership of Canadian land. We also need to protect homes, if they continue to be a money maker for funds, the rich and other organizations, home ownership will disappear for most of Canadians.

The purchase of dozens of farm properties by two U.S. billionaires has prompted a small B.C. community to call for restrictions on foreign ownership of agricultural land.

I follow the scores in the World Cup but this is always in the back of mind...

The Norwegian Football Association donated all proceeds and ticket revenues (totaling over $350,000) from their World Cup qualifying match against Israel to Doctors Without Borders for humanitarian aid in Gaza. Guess which team I’m rooting for . . .

White supremacists who are upset that a black woman was cast as Helen of Troy in the new movie The Odyssey “because it’s not historically accurate” have drawings of a blond, blue-eyed Jesus in their homes.

This is total insanity. Words fail to explain how anyone let alone a plurality of voters thought giving an obviously demented person control of the most powerful government in the world was a good idea. We will be lucky to come out the other side of this alive.

Quite the community conversation there

Please be aware! These scams are becoming more prevalent. Unfortunately Alberta Views has also seen instances where our editors are being impersonated.

A safer Ontario means Doug Ford in prison.

The question for me about Felix Auger-Aliassime splitting with Frederic Fontang is whether Felix has reached his peak and the coaching was as good as could be or, if there is another level to be unlocked with a new coach.

I can't recall where I found this, but it like to think the bicycle and critical thinking are directly related.

One name stood out in 1890s women's cycle racing: Belgian Hélène Dutrieu. Winner of multiple track cycling titles including the world championship, the Course de 12 Jours, & the Grand Prix d’Europe, she was cycling's first female superstar. But that was only the beginning.🧵

I can never quote the lyrics to this song enough: "The Consumer". I reckon it's not more popular because of all the discomfort it causes. m.youtube.com/watch?v=QnJ2...

My favorite 'bike infrastructure' is stuff that's too narrow to even fit the bike stencil.

Dr. Janzwood, assistant professor of political science and environment at McGill University, assesses the announcements of more pipelines in Canada. Her review reveals that new pipelines will be paid for by taxpayers, not industry, so we hold all the expense and all the risk in this uncertain time.

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

“Cornell researchers found that at the current rate of AI growth, the burgeoning industry could represent 24 to 44 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, the equivalent of adding five to ten million cars to US roadways.”

@mark-carney.bsky.social, @anitaoakvilleeast.bsky.social It is absolutely outrageous that Canada did not stand up for Cuba against the illegal and inhumane blockade by the US regime. Such a cowardly posture - whatever happened to elbows up. An absolute disgrace!

This is supposed to sound like good news. It sounds like dystopia. This supports "the broader thesis that AI-driven demand growth can create incremental opportunities across the power and natural gas value chain.” We are in hell.

Oh darn, Aoyama/Liang vs. Dabrowaki/Stefani. While I want to see Dabrowski move on, I have real soft spot for the great net play of Aoyama.

“In a democracy, police must not control what information journalists publish. Reporters play a crucial role in keeping Canadians safe by giving them timely information that police do not always provide,” said Paul Schneidereit, CAJ vice-chair. Full statement: share.google/ZFlYLyN9gkHo...

Call me old-fashioned, but I think the President of the United States should be able to remember the name of a nation he’s been bombing the shit out of for five months.

www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j... This is a triggering image. It’s should be. Because Israel is torturing Palestinians and it should shake you out of your complacency.

Holy shit, Dylan Cease: almost gets the no-hitter, but records the shut-out with 11Ks. When the Jays bats come alive and pitching like this happens, they are elite. And, Okamoto, Guerrero, and Springer go yard.

Listening to the Arthur Fery post match conference, and I'm impressed with how he's handling all this. Very well-spoken and thoughtful in his responses.

Trump on the sexual assault allegations against Graham Platner: “It’s really a question of whether or not you believe the woman. A lot of people say big falsehoods.”

Important and eye-opening read.

It is man work to call out other men about their shitty behavior. More men need to be doing their man work.
