I come home tired and hungover from a journalist conference and the husb decides his is the moment to review our luggage situation. 😭

At the Alberta Republicans event and one of the speakers, Gordon Kesler has some very interesting political opinions.

A cowboy-hat-wearing lawyer from Calgary is making the case on rightwing media that Alberta should separate from Canada and become the 51st US state. But as @daniparadis.bsky.social reports, local Indigenous leaders aren't impressed. www.desmog.com/2025/05/20/m...

One result I'm not seeing get a lot of attention: Aaron Gunn won. The guy who front-the most extreme parts of Poilievre's social and public safety agenda (he directed the "doc" Vancouver is Dying) will be heading to Ottawa.

Please highlight this story. ICE stormed into the wrong house, trashed the place, and made women/girls stand outside in the rain in their underwear. ICE also stole phones, laptops, and cash savings from the family, who moved to OKC two weeks ago. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. Well. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/2400876...

Wah. David, 🎶 you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me 🎶

The Gen Z hellscape has arrived. You now have to explain to employees that the argument they crafted by typing into chat GTP is wrong. 😆 you have to argue with a person about what a language model told them.

This is high art
