No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

Last week, I learned an adjudicator had sided with me in 5 inquiries re: the province refusing to release results of its Alberta Next surveys GOA published the multiple choice results in Dec but has been ordered to give me 213 pages of open-answer replies that haven't yet been shared #ableg #abpoli

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

my doctor told me to consult chatgpt about researching a new medication my eyes rolled to the back of my skull

Alberta tracked miscarriages, stillbirths, and infant deaths from measles—but heavily censored the records. Why hide preventable tragedy from the clinicians and families who needed to know? https://thewalrus.ca/alberta-knew-measles-was-harming-pregnant-patients/

this is gross. pay artists

SCOOP A year ago, the Alberta government said it was building 2 drug jails for detainment and forced withdrawal of people who use drugs, in Calgary and Edmonton. Turns out another was planned for Grande Prairie. Any others? Seems likely. drugdatadecoded.ca/alberta-gove...

🔳 CBC INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER, CHRIS: “Madam, you were one of the main hosts at the recent Conservative Convention. Could I ask how the 2500 people who voted at Pierre Poilievre’s ‘Leadership Review’ were selected?” 🔳 CONSERVATIVE MP (*FROM OKLAHOMA), MICHELLE REMPEL GARNER : 🏃‍♀️ 💨

I've been saddened today to learn that the University of Alberta is going down MAGA road and wants to abolish Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. So I've written to University President Bill Flanagan, warning him of the legal risks. Because the University may need suing.

I've said it before and I'll say it again and I will never stop saying it: this is not justice. This is not accountability. This is cruelty.

people are always like "hey man how's it going" and I'm always looking at them from behind the frosted glass of the amulet's gem listening to the wizard speak for me

Jeffrey Epstein, a great, great guy. Very innocent and perhaps more innocent than anyone knows. And I had nothing to do with him. But he died like a dog and nobody thought we could do it but we did. They said sir the video will cut out for a few minutes and I said wow. And we'll see what happens

“I’m mad I can’t understand Bad Bunny’s lyrics because they’re not in English” my brother millions of metalheads around the world have been happily listening to incomprehensible Finnish shrieks and Japanese death grunts since we were teens, you’re just boring and racist

saw someone call the halftime performance gay and it’s like well there was a heterosexual marriage in it

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

Every Super Bowl ad is for the door in the forest. It’s annoying. “You must walk through the door.” Yeah thanks, I know that already. I dream of the door every night

Kind of gives away the whole game that all the crypto ads this year have been replaced with gambling and AI ads.

if a game turns your cursor into a little gauntlet, it automatically gets +1 point

cancel culture killed so many mens careers

Danielle Smith’s threat to withhold funding for judicial appointments jeopardizes access to justice for Albertans. Politicizing our courts undermines fairness and delays the legal process. Full stop.

“Until this week, parents and guardians could only access the online personal health information of children under the age of 12. The Alberta government has now extended that access up until a teenager turns 18.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

as someone who looks like this AND curls: representation matters

"Alberta is now an outlier among western provinces. British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba all confirmed to CBC News that Type 58 visa holders are eligible for public health coverage in their provinces." And the limiting health care begins. #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

One of my proudest online moments

this is a thick bilbo household always has been always will be

Two things I’m not sure is widely understood: 1. Many public servants no longer have their own desks and work in transient government co-working spaces 2. Many describe a Kafkaesque existence of going to physical offices only to spend their time on video calls with the people sitting next to them

hatred of unhoused people is genuinely a pipeline to fascism. if the wealthy can get you to dehumanize your own neighbors, then they can get you to do it to anyone.

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

This will lead to self-medication and more. The doctor-patient relationship is sacrosanct, and killing it for the sake of “parental rights” is extraordinarily dangerous. This is an anti-trans policy by effect, and will be added to my anti-trans risk map. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

If we wanna talk about how interactions with AI bots reflect upon us as people maybe we should talk about what it means about you if you enjoy conversation where the other party gives you sycophantic praise every single reply

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.

Jeffrey Epstein types like a dog would talk

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.
