Surely, this isn't the Alberta 'Advantage' Smith keeps mentioning. It's time to take real action to make life more affordable for Albertans.

Ffs.

Another voice raising concerns over Alberta's plan to redraw the electoral map, with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association saying the UCP's plan "casts a doubt over the equity and fairness of Alberta’s electoral process."

Well, Mr "Cockfoster", if that is indeed your real name, if someone shits on your lawn daily for months, then one day stops and doesn't shit on your lawn for many weeks after that, are you just going to forget that that motherfucker used to shit on your lawn and pretend everything is now cool?

Welcome to Monday's daily Ukraine thread for Day 1517 of the full Russian invasion. I want to start by asking why, in over 4 years, has @IntlCrimCourt only ever brought war crime charges against 6 Russians, none since this 22 months ago? Putin's only accused of child-abduction😡

Absolutely incredible. NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone. Watch with sound on.

I fucking despise homeopathic anything and the snake oil pricks that peddle them to the ignorant and naive. Tar and feathering needs to return for these scum.

On April 19, 1904, a night watchman discovered a fire coming from Toronto's E&S Currie Neck Wear Factory while out on a night patrol. Fueled by high winds, the fire destroyed over 100 buildings by the time it was out. This is the story of The Great Toronto Fire. 🧵 1/8

Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

I've set out the framework I'm using here in an earlier thread, on VDA, the Arc of Democracy, and the moral-epistemic stacks idea, what follows applies that framework to the Palantir document directly. skywriter.blue/@eliothiggin...

Fuck off Gretzky get off my fucking tv.

This is my daily thread on developments in Ukraine and its defence against the Russian invasion. Day 1516 of Putin's attempt to eradicate Ukrainian culture & anyone not willing to bow to its demands. I've written about Ukraine for 25 years, but only sonsecutively for 1,516 days!

Eat. The. Rich.

You know the country is cooked when an American’s out here saying insurance is a scam but, ooooh, he’s saving $114,000 on a procedure. (And the same would be free in Canada and the amount we pay in taxes is less than you pay in insurance.) Healthcare is a human right. US folks deserve more.

Day 1515 - I am back again for another Ukraine thread.. I fact check and publish all the important news about the country and Russia's horde of war criminals, using my own contacts and experience and local media. I've done it every single day. Yep, I've still never missed one.

the lawyers on this site are practically going feral over this, so you know someone's about to get rich

I fucking hate doing this, you guys. I’m gonna be mad all morning. I would be THRILLED to be mentioned in NYT, bc it would result in subscribers and might get me closer to paying my bills! But these mfers just refuse to do the right and normal journalism thing if you aren’t a big outlet.

Hey @nytimes.com, I already reported this earlier this week. And the G650s you mention? I reported on those in FEBRUARY. You credit NBC News and WSJ for first reporting parts of your story. Please credit me, too.

Iran is broadcasting this VHF message: "Attention all ships, ​regarding the failure ⁠of the U.S. government to fulfil its commitment in the negotiation, Iran declares the Strait of Hormuz completely ​closed again.

Update: Iran's military said on Saturday the Strait of Hormuz has "returned to its previous state." The announcement came after President Trump had said the blockade on Iranian ports would remain in place.

I think it means the Saudis no longer believe they need sports washing because they have purchased the U.S. government instead.

ICYMI! Former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopolous has taken legal action against two podcasters following a campaign of harassment that allegedly included inside information only available to the government! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

So #Alberta- what are we gonna do?! Are we ready to become a gerrymandered province? Are we going to just accept that our #UCP government is corrupt and are going to cheat to ensure election results they need? When do we take it to the streets? #ableg #abpoli #DanielleSteal

So while acknowledging that the UCP’s pending attempt to gerrymander Alberta is really bad and we should fight against it, the Alberta NDP is going to actually devote organizing resources to rural areas, right? Right? 🥲 #ableg
