[Alberta politics - MLA recall campaigns] RE: https://mas.to/@buffyleigh/115566847883111095 I'd sign them all, but you have to be from that riding, and yes in person. 10 more approved over the weekend,! Now 7 days for the MLA in question to respond before they can start collecting siganatures.

Recall petitions approved for 9 MLAs https://www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/article/recall-petition-paperwork-approved-for-9-new-mlas-says-campaign-group/

RE: https://mastodon.social/@indivisibleteam/115537809908416096 I hadn't been paying for a subscription, but I finished transferring my playlists last week and completely deleted by Spotify account.

Today in class, while students discussed practice problems we listened to The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, by Gordon Lightfoot. And the Headstones And the Rheostatics And the Dandy Warhols (except it wasn't good and I bailed half-way through) And Laura Cantrell #music […]

Happy Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to those who celebrate

RE: https://tenforward.social/@AlsoPaisleyCat/115504347610459551 That's a really good question!

Last year there were students who thought I was probably American. This semester, I have been exclusively playing CanCon music in class while they work on solving problems, or when they need a break for what I just said to sink in. Not that any of them will recognize Luba as CanCon. Or that any […]

We had a "solidarity rally" at work today for Alberta teachers, with lots of chanting and yelling about Human Rights, recall and The UCP has got to go. I got more puzzled than I expected when people asked about my suit and I said "Because I don't have an inflatable […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

What is something that is completely inconsequential that you have very strong opinions about (and would like to share)? #askfed

Some signs from the student-led protest at city hall in #Calgary, #Alberta, #Canada this afternoon! 🇨🇦 #ABpoli #Ableg #StandWithAlbertaTeachers

KimWipes as a Halloween costume! I love it! #science #chemiverse

Ready for Trick-or-Treaters!

It's like protesting only in the approved protest area. What I'm saying is that if you are going to try to take down the Queen, you'd best not miss.

What is your favourite song that starts slow or quiet, then builds in intensity? Today I’m going with Sinead O’Connor’s underrated “The Last Day of Our Acquaintance.” #music

A recall petition has been filed to recall MLA Demetrios Nicolaides, the Minister of Education. If you live in Calgary-Bow, go sign and help force a by-election! #yyc #ableg #abpoli https://recallnicolaides.ca/

After all the other reasons to get off of Spotify, the reports of ICE recruitment ads are my thermocline. Working on it today seems like something I can do from Canada on #nokings day. I've been migrating my playlists to Deezer, and so far it's pretty good. It doesn't have Tokyo Rose, by Idle […]

@sundogplanets Just to clarify, I get the impression from your satellite posts that xkcd is doing some wishful thinking about satellite distribution. Yes? https://indieweb.social/@xkcdbot/115390331921966308

My first cut for the #yyc election is that I'm not interested in any candidates for #yyccc or the school board from a political party. I think my second cut is that I want a candidate who replied to the LiveWire survey. If you can't engage with local press who is giving you a chance to share […]

I love this, @eWalthert

In today's instalment of "Why AGI is not just around the corner". Those structures, man - to a chemist they are like fingernails on a blackboard.

This part of the Nobel committee's statement hits. https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/2025/press-release/ #politics #nobelpeaceprize

I was kind of hoping Greta Thunberg would win. However, this Venezuelan woman feels like a very appropriate choice. I think some popcorn is appropriate later today.

“The 2025 Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to María Corina Machado for “promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela.” https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/nobel-peace-prize-10-10-25?post-id=cmgkm4gar00053b6n07as8zud&cid=ios_app

I mean, I get it, but I'm still kinda surprised the #flames are starting Dustin Wolf in back to back games. #hnom

Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have been on the leaderboard for a #chemistry #nobelprize for years now, and this fits @SRLevine's noted pattern that it was time for a real chem prize this year. https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/chemistry/2025/popular-information/

I replaced the thermocouple in my furnace, and now I have heat! Just in time for the next below freezing night, and before the snow expected this weekend.

It is Nobel Prize week, and usually I wake up and see the Nobel Prize in me Social Media Feed. As a Chemist, I have particular interest in the Physiology and Medicine category (because a Chemist often wins) and the Chemistry category (because a Chemist sometimes wins). Monday of Nobel week […]

Who has the “No AI, Only Brain” stickers or pins?

Just dropped my kid off at Uni, and pulled out of the drive with the windows down, blasting Roxette. I'm sure I am the coolest dad any of those kids have. #genx

Can anyone explain to me why this is a 6-methyl-2-enone instead of a 2-methyl-5-enone? According to my understanding of the rules, the alkene shouldn't get preferential numbering to the methyl. So why is it numbered so that we don't have the lowest number at the […] [Original post on mstdn.ca]

So, just finished a lecture on organic nomenclature and ended up with a new analogy that had never occurred to me. A carbonyl is a moiety, part of the structure. The functional group is like the gender of the molecule. You can have a carbonyl and still be a different functional group as […]

That moment when your kid sends you a deranged-sounding synopsis of a #startrek episode they found on Tumbler, and says "Is this accurate?" And the answer is pretty much, yeah. #ds9

With RFK Jr. being such a topic this week, I found this article helpful in making sense of some of his seemingly nonsensical policies. It doesn't make it right, but it fits together once you abandon germ theory for the eugenic-leaning terrain theory of disease […]
