And you said dinosaurs were extinct. Not in SOAB

Found on the internet: If you think Tylenol is bad for children, wait 'til you hear about assault rifles. 😏

Well this is awkward

It would cure my atheism if the upcoming Rapture sucked up all these Christo-fascist Nationalists. It might restore my Faith in an all knowing, benevolent deity. I'm probably safe from being beamed up to that spaceship, but it's gonna be pretty quiet here in SOAB. #Rapture2025

Don't sack Jon Stewart! #cdnpoli

Some of my closer cohorts are puzzled at how so many of our friends, family, and community members have been misled and indoctrinated into misguided, misinformed, confrontational, tribal groups. I often blame the power of group-think influence. It's not new. www.verywellmind.com/the-asch-con...

@jenhandley.bsky.social From Maria Ressa's book: How To Stand Up To A Dictator What we're seeing is nothing novel. She saw thousands die in the Philippines and Indonesia under regimes that were led by power hungry despots. Our governments are stepping in those same tracks. Can't happen here, right?

@thebreakdownab.bsky.social I have a problem with the hate speech legislation. I don't have a problem complicating the lives of Christian Nationalists and like hate vendors wrapped in their scriptures. This makes me a criminal should I take issue with a Sean Feucht or by supporting a Palestinian.

Remember after 9-11 we were encouraged to have some situational awareness and watch for things that were sketchy or had a menacing feel about them? I never thought then the threat would come from people I might know. I might know some of these people. vt.tiktok.com/ZSDfH5ygR/

Hanging in my quote closet:

An old friend of mine posts stuff like this on IG. There's a cohort of folks just like him here where I live. They're getting lathered up for a fight. And they're armed. I mean, well armed, and just a bump on the head from doing something stupid. They're making lists. Some of us are on those lists.

Besties.

Really. #abpoli #Berta

Charlie Kirk was the 18,533rd American shot and killed in 2025. Why is he the only one people are talking about? What about the 18,532 before him? What about the roughly 400 hundred who were shot and killed since then? Does anyone know any of their names?

Look - I regard this man's murder (not assassination) as a heinous act. A symptom of the culture he's endorsed. He's a victim of his own stochastic rhetoric. It's still deeply troubling that it happened. This is not where civilization should be going. Canadians have been drawn in to his bullshit.

It would be likely that if flags were lowered for two days after every school shooting in America, they would never reach full staff again. Make the Second Amendment make sense in this context. Make the UCP's yearning to emulate these laws make sense to me or a 9 year old who has seen friends killed

We, as members of the Canadian Pride Caucus, share this important back to school statement, in support of 2SLGBTQI+ students across Canada. We stand with you. We support you. And we will fight for your rights. 🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦🏳️‍⚧️

Co-workers: I've listened to him, he makes valid points. He thinks like us. This is Southern Alberta. I'm not "us". I'm "them". My pronouns I suppose. Kirk's death is a tragedy, I feel for his family and loved ones. There will be more unfortunately.

So it's safe to assume our "best Premier ever" (just read the comments on her FB posts) might be getting her public health advice from Mad Makis, APP Modry and others:

I've maintained that the blustering of PP, Smith, and Ford will only be an escalation. Every thief will prepare for violence, every homeowner will assume violent intent. The laws already exist that govern this. www.canadianlawyermag.com/news/opinion...

#Never51 will have a question like this for the citizen initiative referendum about being the 51st state. I'll sign the petition that promotes this question. Should pass the clarity act.

This should make some heads explode. All the best to ALL Albertans.

You want to know who will be in charge of the Alberta Pension Plan? Yeah. No thanks.

Wash your eyes and ears out with this #BetterTogether www.facebook.com/share/v/1Ain...

My two cents on the Castle Law: Not necessarily a disincentive to break-ins. Definitely an incentive for thieves to be armed. It's an escalation. This will get people killed.

Math: 4100 mass shootings(4 or more shot or killed in one event) since 2018. Three shooters verified as Trans. But hateful displays seek to villainize Trans people despite the vast majority of shooters being cis-gender males.

On an old buddy's pickup. How do we heal? #never51 #ForeverCanadian

Just a reminder of the type of character of the key figures of the Alberta Prosperity Project. These are the people filling halls in our small towns and those who would have us separate and comply with their vision. #ForeverCanadian #BetterTogether www.tannerhnidey.com/post/women-a...

HISTORIC While most of United States has slipped below average, look where it's all the heat: CANADA 🇨🇦 40.1C today at Lytton 4th consecutive day >40C: This ties the longest streak in history (July 1941 & June 2021) And the record heat will return in September.

It won’t fit in screen shots but linking here the full letter of resignation posted by one of the departing CDC officials, Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who ran the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases and led efforts to fight COVID, monkeypox, and bird flu x.com/dr_demetre/s...

Hey, Doctor, don't know if you've heard, but Albertans are going to have to pay $100 for Covid shots here. I suspect our Premier would gladly let you jump the queue and set up a vaccine clinic in Coutts.

These guys don't mess around. #Harvest25

When you look at Danielle Smith’s changes around vaccines, it all points to one path: the road to privatization. By stripping science-based independence and centralizing control, public health protections weaken — leaving Albertans at risk in future crises. #ABleg #ABpoli

This deal has been in the works since 2023. Bunge has acquired Viterra (formerly Sask Wheat Pool). Bunge is also a significant shareholder in G3. They promise to follow terms and conditions not to manipulate markets. Right. This is not #ElbowsUp www.canada.ca/en/transport...

“Alberta will be the only province in the country to charge most residents to get a COVID-19 vaccine.” Unconscionable that this is happening within the public healthcare system. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber...

Alberta's bats are in decline. Those remaining would urge you to refrain from calling the Premier "batshit crazy". They're a marginalized minority and consider any association with the Premier to be a direct insult. Henceforth, "Smithshit Crazy" will be the preferred description.

So, this will take uptake of crucial vaccinations down a notch or two. I know some older folks who can barely run their cellphones. This is a genuine barrier to people who need shots the most. Hard not to think there's real intent to harm here.
