same day delivery is not compatible with a living planet

I really didn’t want to go to indoor rugby tonight as I’m leaving for a short work trip tomorrow. Glad I did though. 2 tries, an amazing catch and some great defensive play. Great for the happy brain stuff.

Nothing like trying to help run a new washing machine remotely. Specifically via text message.

At the Big Sugar gig at The Palace. I forgot how meh the sound is in here. Made for EDM and not much else

Sunday morning sounds

Flying economy to Calgary: $200? Hiring a digital content agency to announce to Facebook that you’re flying to Calgary in an economy-class seat to “brand” yourself as an everyday working joe: $20,000?

I really really have to get up. But trapped by this bossy so and so who pushed my hands out of the way so she could stretch out

I’ve reached peak letter writing stage in my life URGENT: Tell Danielle Smith to declare a State of Emergency for Alberta’s healthcare. Demand real solutions–more beds, more staff, and public funding that keeps up with our population. stateofemergency.ca

Expel Pete Hoekstra

At the Talib Kweli gig and I’m easily the most uncool person here. It could be my old lady beer but I am not convinced.

Love Kim’s work! If you can spare a couple of bucks (or more!), please contribute.

At this point, I can’t understand why any international traveller would visit the US Even if you think you’re not at risk, you could get caught in the crossfire of ICE gunning people down in residential streets or have masked gunmen storm your restaurant and haul kitchen staff away as you eat lunch

Seems like a good time to re-up this.

Started boycotting World Cup with Russia. Doubled down with the atrocity that was Qatar and now I don’t want to hear a word about it Between the “peace prize” and the US being run by a completely dickhead and a bunch of fascists, I just can’t.

Most difficult task of the week (other than going back to work tomorrow$ was changing the cartridge on my turntable. Nerdiest tutorial included the use of a digital microscope.

Excellent news www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Bait to distract from privatizing healthcare and other nonsense.

I have just not been paying to the news because it’s so dire but the one time I check, the orange POS wins a random peace prize? I was already boycotting World Cup. This just solidifies it

Actually kinda tired of sports being ruined. First footy, now pointy throw ball. People ask why I watch baseball? I have zero expectations as it sucks already

Probably the last time I’ll bother watching a Grey Cup. The rule changes for next year are egregious

I bet people wouldnt go hungry in this country if we had UBI...

Seriously? Privacy advocates have been sounding the alarm since forever. Society’s response? Apathy. Canada is a police state. In 2025, our cops have body cameras equipped with facial recognition technology. Did you people 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 Palantir? Because that’s how you get Palantir. It’s too fucking late.

Sat down to watch the Ward 13 last ditch debate by @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social I’m dying from Clearly Not Dan Maclean. I was assuming it old be more like a 1-1 interview The chosen former was so much better.

Getting caught up on my Knowledge Fight episodes. On the one where Kirk was killed. How low can Alex Jones possibly go? He is so gross

Yet again the Liberal government shows they are for the bosses and not for the workers.

Maybe stop using American dog whistles then and flaming right wing stupidity www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I needed something to get me out of my reading slump so I got a cheesy nursery mystery. Oh good gawd it’s worse than I expected. Also, really, plus sized at size 12? Ughhhh

This was fun. UBI made it into most of my comments.

Fuck your borders. Until it’s against the US and then…

When union offices have to double as food banks for their members, that’s a problem. Pay. Them.

If the Liberals implement binding arbitration, they should make sure the new collective agreement includes everything the workers asked for. Then these large employers would stop begging the Liberals to override constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.

Workers deserve better than a government that denies their right to fight for fair treatment. The federal government has no business interfering in the labour dispute between Air Canada and workers. This terrible decision by the Liberals undermines negotiations and hurts labour rights.

“No one should accept being forced to work for free, for hours and hours, every day. No one should accept being forced to work for poverty wages for years in a profession, just to earn a dignifying living. That’s what this is about,” said CUPE Air Canada Component president Wesley Lesosky.

This is bullshit. Air travel is not a human right. Let the flight attendants strike www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

We are living in a police state has never been more true

The conservatives need a new dog whistle instead of picking on immigration. Try being creative for a change www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

This province enrages me. Of course someone paying private fees would get better care in a public system that has been grossly underfunded for years. And of course you can’t find overt evidence they got preferential service. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It’s like the Pirates GOT RID OF THEIR BEST CLOSER.

If you made a million dollars a year and never spent any of it, you could be a billionaire in 1,000 years. People do not become billionaires through their own hard work.

So, he’s a refugee. Don’t the yanks want to get rid of people that do that? Maybe send him to El Salvador for funsies?

If you’ve never worked in the service industry or held multiple “menial” jobs at once, your negative opinion on UBI is irrelevant.

Nice to see the Pirates are back to being abominable Fire Cherington FFS. SELL THE TEAM, DON

I love @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social and this article infuriated me (not the Sprawl, Danielle Smith and her arrogance). Wish I could use my husband as an "advisor" on my highly confidential work duties www.sprawlcalgary.com/green-line-c...

there is fuckery afoot, Alberta-- suddenly our little checkbox on our tax returns doesn't equal automatic enumeration. now we have to register to vote, the budget to spread this information is a corn chip covered in cat hair, and the deadline is August 15, 2025 Smells like voter suppression.

I mean, I've been awake since 0155 so I don't really know what is going on

Only me and one other degenerate having a beer at 945 AM in the Frankfurt airport.

We are watching the end of American democracy Morning File by @timbousquet.bsky.social

Wild seeing an actual Canadian team at Le Mans. The #13 is so cute with the maple leaf on it

Didn't think I'd see 4 in a row this season
