Danielle Smith uses notwithstanding clause to declare herself premier of B.C.

Guest editorialist @anandwrites.bsky.social writes about the “Epstein class”: “The business is laundering capital — money into prestige, prestige into fun, fun into intel, intel into money.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/o...

I wonder how common it was for settlers in North America to tell their kids they must be part indigenous when the family tree seemed to be missing branches. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/d16edc7...

It rained overnight, so now the streets and sidewalks have a barely visible topcoat of ice! #yegwx

Bluesky Is Clearly Not a Johnny Cash Fan

So has @support.bsky.team unblocked Sarah Kendzior on this relatively important news day that she warned about for years or are they still working on it.

For @thenation.com, I dug into American Landmark, a major landlord unleashing rent hikes and eviction filings across the South, all while their parent company Electra has financial ties to West Bank settlements and the IDF. See it in the company's own words: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I’ve written for them. They pay a fair wage. And they pay you quickly. All to say I’ve experienced them on the back end 👌🏾

What kind of cheese are the Tannies, #BTSARMY? Namjoon - Leiscester Seokjin - Cheshire Yoongi - Derby Hobi - Double Glouchester Jimin - Wensleydale Tae - English Cheddar Jungkook - Caerphilly

Today was a funny news day, both funny ha-ha and funny strange. suzettechan.wordpress.com/2025/11/06/r...

Is there a way to buy a peerage these days? Because I would contribute cash money to get Sean Dunn named the Earl of Sandwich

Edmonton Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux resigns www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

I just found out about this! youtu.be/DZ1OblYm5YY?...

Georgia Democrats had not won a statewide race that wasn't for a federal office since 2006. They won two races tonight, both against GOP incumbents. The margins? 62% to 38% in both.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

to me, this moment is peak "hyung will do it". seokjin drags taehyung out because he's emotional and crying after singing on such a big stage again after so long. he teases tae with a joke about enlistment that he knows will piss tae off slightly enough that he snaps out of his tears a little.

Surreal to read this as I reach the part in Virginia Guiffre’s biography where Epstein calls her about the money-laundry investigation.

“Love you all, but there’s a few people in here who have a lot more money than me. And if you’re a billionaire—why are you a billionaire? No hate, but give your money away, shorties.” — Billie Eilish before donating $11.5 Million dollars. Be like Billie.

Whoa! This just opened with Nicole Kidman! #V of #BTS is also expected to be part of the show.

More than a few people have noted that K-pop and Bollywood performances have much in common. Interesting to see artists crossing over. www.koreaherald.com/article/1059...

This happened in my metaphorical back yard! From @404media.co: 'XhAle Brew Co., based out of Alberta [...] asked for its entry fees of $565 to be refunded, and for the “destruction of XhAle's data collected during, and post-judging for the Best Beer App.”' www.404media.co/what-happene...

I'm really enjoying CORTIS. Big Hit seems to be giving them the tools and opportunity to have long careers. They're teens and they're already very accomplished! www.koreaherald.com/article/1057...

'The question she posed is, "Should the government of Alberta end its current practice of allocating public funds to accredited independent (private) schools?"' www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The members of #BTS are hard at work at their group comeback album, but it is not stopping them from pursuing their own projects.

I never said Pelosi was getting paid by Putin: I stated point blank that she was NOT, as seen below. The Democrats have lied about this for over six years, so I wrote about it as an example of online smear tactics. Read on for a study in propaganda in the AI age: substack.com/@sarahkendzi...

Bob Rae stayed in his seat.

On my way to a memorial edition of Coffee Outside. Expecting lots of friends comforting each other, sharing memories, savouring coffee and lots of tears. Somewhere, behind the dark clouds, the sun is rising. Elevator down; funicular is good. 7:19 am. (Sept 26) #YEGFunicularStatus

Every Friday morning, #yegbike gathers for Coffee Outside. Tomorrow, we'll be gathering in support of one another as we remember one of the best of us, Darren Markland. He truly brought warmth and brightness wherever he went. www.youtube.com/watch?v=46HK...

Darren Markland touched the lives of so many in Edmonton and across Canada and I know he will be greatly missed by family, friends, colleagues, patients and others. edmontonjournal.remembering.ca/obituary/dar...

I have a couple of small updates on this story, in case y'all have been wondering about any fallout since its July publication! 🧵

Get fucked LA comic con and whoever is involved

Happy Friday! I made a short playlist about love 💞 #Jin #V #BTS #DPR_ARTIC & #MoonSujin #DebbyFriday #SiouxsieAndTheBanshees #CheapTrick music.apple.com/ca/playlist/...

Watching Alberta at this moment is critical for the whole country. That edgeward slide into authoritarianism, which feels like a threat looming in your peripheral vision, is now always in plain sight in AB. Its government *welcomes* what is happening in the US.

In addition to canceling Disney+, Hulu, ESPN, there’s a pretty lengthy thread on Reddit of Marvel Unlimited fans canceling as well. For all of this, if you ARE cancelling, highly recommend you be explicit about why (Kimmel, fascism) in the comments or over the phone: www.reddit.com/r/MarvelUnli...

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Straightforward effort to change military culture/personnel towards a specific political and partisan perspective. In doing so it would hack away at the norms that have maintained civil-military relations.

I glanced at this book at Goodwill and thought it was about human cloning.

Worth reading. What I'd point out is that conspiracy theory is usually used to *avoid* having to accept hard truths. What do you do when the conspiracy is the hard truth itself?

I've been informed that today is Read A Book Day How I plan to celebrate it: on other days, we can read (all or part of) several books, but on read a book day we must sadly confine ourselves to reading just one book, in memory of all the people who tragically haven't had enough books to read

I was a faithful viewer of "Starlost", and faithfully made fun of it, even though I was a kid. "Space: 1999" was an upgrade!

In 1999, Margaret Atwood marched in solidarity with striking members of the Communications Energy & Paperworkers Union at the Calgary Herald. The person who Atwood is criticizing today (News article: www.bbc.com/news/article...) was the only member of that union local to cross that picket line.

Guys, I know it's not the point, but I gotta know: When it comes to porn, what does the premier consider "classic"?

Look at that beautiful blue sky! ⏰☠️ Wake Up Dead Man, the new Benoit Blanc mystery. Thanksgiving in theaters, 12/12 on Netflix. More to come very soon…
