This is a professional soccer game.

If there's one thing consistent about the Conservative Party of Canada, it's that they've since their inception snivelled "that's UNDEMOCRATIC" about anything that represents the majority of Canadians who want nothing to do with them.

Absolutely WILD that the development of sofrware proceeded with so little heed to record-keeping that 52 year old source code is a major archaeological trove that requires special tools to gain access to, like it's a treasure room in a sealed royal tomb from 3500 years ago.

Updating a bunch of building and road features for Humanitarian OpenStreetmap, and I just updated a tile where everything is mapped wrong in some significant way. It's like someone didn't even know what a city looks like. After a while, I started to wonder, "Wait. Was this mapped by #AI?"

Go ICE, get diced.

Omg I’m dying 😂😂😂…so…So Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'. Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now?... 😄 Enjoy. [ HotGirlsforCuomo.com ]

The sheer irony of this loser running for city council on a "Clean up the City" slogan, spamming the public spaces of the ward with his signs, and then never coming to pick up all of his litter after the election. #yegcc (No relation to Sir Patrick Stewart.)

Who did this?!

Operation Total Recall is a website with information on how to start and track the recall process for every MLA that voted in favour of Bill 2. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

The autistic experience of having someone try to walk all over you, then demand that you fix things.

I am joining the War on Autism, on the side of Autism.

Map programs have started doing this thing where I will choose a route and once I start driving they change my route to save a truly trivial amount of time based upon absolutely dog shit traffic predictions. 1/

113 st bike lane is 95 percent rideable to Kingsway road. All intersections are painted. There is a small gap in the MUP near the Lions centre. #yegbike

And today I learned that in 1962 the BBC let Jaquetta Hawkes imagine the archaeology of apocalyptic Britain. As a short film 👀10/10 Will weird your day youtu.be/c8yEIe69M4k?...

I was wondering how the hell you accidentally get a Nazi tattoo and then I heard it was in Croatia and suddenly it made sense. (Not figuring it out or doing anything about it in the intervening years is definitely a choice though.)

A moth got into the shelter tonight and it was the event of the season.

You know, I love high speed rail, but if there was just a train running between Edmonton and Calgary, and it didn't suck, I would actually not hate going to Calgary. 1/?

wow, which common vaccine was it?

When I was a kid, there was this other kid who was a total shit-for-brains and proud of it who blacked out from huffing CO2 and soiled himself. He did it because someone who he didn't like told him not to huff it "because it would get him really high". He was able to learn that this was a bad idea.

It’s another lovely morning of the worst people in Edmonton being deeply offended.

I am deeply annoyed with what has happened at the White House. You do not go picking this fight and then deny us of the honour. We would've taken it down with ceremonial reverence. There would have been a piper. And not this... shit.

Edmonton's municipal election shows that all of the folks complaining about bike lanes existing in Facebook comments sections are either nowhere near as numerous as they present themselves, or the sorts of folks who can't be bothered to vote. #yegcc

whomst amongst us

This raven flew alongside my bicycle for approx 200m last night.

Friendly wager: if Mariners win we get bragging rights, if Jays win Seattle has to become part of Canada

"As the Mayor of Edmonton, I will abolish the federal Senate and rejuvenate the Newfoundland cod fishery!" The candidates that belong to municipal parties are the worst. Undisclosed donors, and the same populist talking points, despite no power or jurisdiction to do any those things 🙄. #yegcc

I have really gotten into Edmonton Public School Board elections, but this year I absolutely did. Holly truly deserves victory, and her opponent deserves defeat and humiliation.

The part on the sign where he claims that raw milk is “800 times more biodiverse” is quite the euphemism.

Okay, but what if we made a machine that would just make shit up for you?

If you've ever met an Alberta separatist, this should not be the least bit surprising.

By the by Alberta folks, if you're struggling with the #ABHealth being obtuse about access to the COVID-19 vaccine and are among those paying out of pocket anyways, London Drugs is going to start distributing them tomorrow. As presumably are various other pharmacies.

So apparently Alberta is now doing the preorder thing for next year’s COVID and flu vaccines. And it seems you can just order a few extra just in case. bookvaccine.alberta.ca/s/preorder

To distract from their litany of failures and the fact that we're once again in an oil bust economy, the Government of Alberta has unveiled new license plate options, and I can't help but note that one of them appears to be an orphaned well.

Ok, but hear us out...

"Just buy used" is such a weird cop out in response to the increasing unaffordability of cars and thus car dependent lifestyles. For a used car to be an option, someone else has to buy the thing new.

I can shit on both of them at once; my colon contains multitudes

It’s actually important to remember that there is no plan, no proposal, no oil industry interest. Partly because Trans Mountain was expanded, partly because physical geography means considerable expense to build.

(Some vague joke about how Bitcoin doesn’t really have a use case except for scams and scam adjacent speculation.) Some weirdo: AKSHUALLY MONEY IS USED FOR SCAMS TOO I AM VERY SMRT.

So much for Bitcoin's use case.

Getting an influx of so called #aiart this morning and blocking accordingly.

Why the hell does everything have to happen at once?

Somehow, despite multiple dips to freezing, my basil is still alive. This might be because the herb garden is positioned in a spot that is both well sheltered and good sun. It's adjacent to the house, but also we set it up as one of those rock spiral gardens.

Encountered Alberta separatists musing on (sic) "you don't gain independence by asking for it" and it's putting me into all sorts of frame of mind for how to cheerfully say no thank you with an ominous rising background of pipes and drums.

Can’t emphasize enough that new studies like this come out ALL THE TIME but are usually ignored by basically everyone, including the media & the medical establishment. It’s bananas. #COVID
