Otherwise, I am John Candy as Pavarotti in SCTV's The Godfather, walking around the wedding reception with a 10lb provolone in one hand and a steak knife in the other.

I enjoy having crackers on a charcuterie so I look all dainty and dignified rather than mashing hunks of meat in my mouth.

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

First Xmas Eve visit with the recently moved-out older son. He’ll be back in the morning for gifts. A big difference between now and when he wrote a Xmas letter to Santa that began: “Dear Santa, If you are real, could you please leave evidence.” *sniff*

It was Xmas eve, babe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9jb...

So Nixon has evolved in to a cat-parrot and will leap from the floor to my shoulder to perch there. He sometimes chooses to do this when I don’t have a shirt on, which is decidedly less cute.

Don Dani and Berta Nostra are getting desperate.

Former AHS director alleges he was under surveillance, harassed, because he is a potential witness in the lawsuit tied to Alberta's health care procurement controversy, according to court docs Plus lots more --> www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... By @tuthanhha.bsky.social

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that Colossal Wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Big AI firms have built their models by hoovering up copyrighted material from the internet as training data. They say this is legal, but copyright holders disagree - and this year they hit back in a major way

Ok, but how’s the price of eggs?

GRADES ARE SUBMITTED! With a full six hours before they are due—about five hours and fifty-five minutes before I normally get them submitted. Now it’s time to start Xmas shopping.

If linguists insist on a uniquely Canadian orthography, that requires a Canadian language authority, similar to l’Académie française. In its absence, claims about incorrect Canadian spelling are matters of taste, not rule https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/12/23/mark-carney-canadian-english/

So Bari Weiss hasn’t heard of The Streisand Effect, eh?

Poilievre: He’s trying to manipulate a majority! Canadians didn’t give him a majority mandate! Me: Canadians told you to take a hike, Jeff. Get on, now. Shoo.

Recap: Poilievre loses landslide lead, loses election, loses his seat, haemorrhages MPs. Poilievre: “It’s Justi…Mark Carney’s fault.”

In other news, Alberta Premier’s hacked email account found to have used password “iNcOmPeTenT fUcKeRy.”

HUZZAH!!!! It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

I absolutely despise that AI forces me to interview students about their essays. I feel like the damned Inquisition, interrogating students who did their own. 🖕 AI.

But unfortunately she just got voted in as Chair of the LCI school council. That's a slap in the face to their teachers and students, who had the notwithstanding clause used to strip their rights away.

One of my favourite Xmas songs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxVo...

#UCP introduces the "Let Santa Slap Act"

Of course the real Bad Santa is in Berta. globalnews.ca/news/1158711...

The moral depravity if this entire administration makes me wish I believed in divine retribution and vengeance.

Oh, the year was 20 and 25 (How I wish I was in Europe now) When a letter of marque came from The Prick, He’s the scummiest President and a dick. 1/2 www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

Great letter from Emeritus Jim Tagg. I return to these sage words often. “Many willing to mitigate the homeless situation” lethbridgeherald.com/commentary/l...

"Charity" shouldn't be left to churches or NGOs. The rich should be taxed and the government should provide properly funded programs.

How shitty is the world that Marjorie Taylor Greene is on the right side of history? JFC.

So is Creepy Cooper going to apologize? Of course not.

Gonna guess those on the right who flew into a rage over this won’t comment. It’s not about truth, really, is it? It’s about having outrage validated. edmontonjournal.com/news/local-n...

Peacehammer 40K: Paintinge litel miniatures of gardeneres, sculptors, academics. Detailed scale dioramas of museums, cafés. Trimminge hedges. Makinge friendes.

Don't even get me started on Hope Mission or Mustard Seed 🤬

Selective/Conditional welfare is not welfare but a system of control.

The last thing I want is for the welfare of the less fortunate be left to the charity of Albertans. What those fuckers post online, and it’s hateful & despicable. Also: “We’ll give you some soup if you accept Jesus/The Great Pumpkin/Flying Spaghetti Monster as your saviour.” Keep welfare secular!

"Progressive" - the belief that govt has a moral obligation to build, maintain, and steward public institutions for the common good, rather than burning them down in the name of "freedom" and profit. Please take a read👇, and share widely w ALL ABs

WOOHOO! Rams lose!!

THIS GAME IS NUTS!!!

Texcal Energy (US based but definitely not US owned) bought Razor then Texcal sent Texcal Canada into receivership after moving the debts to a shell corporation. And nobody stops this crap

Darnold!

Reporter really missed the opportunity to ask Bruce McAllister if it would be appropriate for people who disagree with the UCP to boycott businesses owned by their supporters

Lambs to the slaughter!!!

'Bite me': Alberta baker challenges premier's office over boycott tied to recall nationalnewswatch.com/2025/12/18/b...

Need a big Rams loss tonight. Disclaimer: this does not constitute support for the Shithawks.

Big Oil puts a well capping deposit fee down to drill a well, when the well is not producing up to expectations they sell it off to a shell company, keeping the well capping deposit, & bankrupt the shell company relieving them of any liability

Man. Those UCP sure do love freeze peach, so long as it’s racist and bigoted. Government posting support for boycotts of small businesses just for speaking out against them sure seems to dance right up to the line of curtailing freedom of expression, no? I’m no legalizer, though.

Jfc.

It’s almost like bankruptcy is part of the business plan. Hey. Is it that fart barge Bread Wilson again?

Um #Alberta: please read this. Apparently the UCP are pushing the rurals to fill this out. Please let them know that the interim report of the Electoral Boundaries Commission is GOOD. Don’t gerrymander!!
