B.C. may have the historical reputation for cannabis use but, at least when it comes to legal sales, Albertans are the biggest consumers:

Alberta has collected more than $1 billion in cannabis revenue. That's the most, per capita, of all provinces and territories. By far. It's nearly quadruple what Quebec has collected, per person.

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

Trump is so clearly not being read in on these negotiations (or, equally likely, he doesn't care.) The "few remaining points of disagreement" are the quintessential issues that have always been at play — i.e. should Russia be allowed to use these negotiations to seize even more territory?

Why?

Steve Witkoff is such a Russian patsy. Just absolutely embarrassing. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

South Korea intends to abolish provisions obligating soldiers and civil servants to follow superiors’ commands even when they may be improper or unlawful.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Got my CEIP final payment plan back. For a 2% $28k loan I will be paying $200 extra a month on a my property taxes for 20 years with the option to pay out completely once a year at no penalty. Got new windows, door and a water heater

When I hear Farage talking about rounding up and deporting hundreds of thousands of human beings, and threatening those with leave to remain or settled status, I cannot help but think of the schoolboy sidling up to me and telling me that “Hitler was right” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

News: Edmonton police say they've broken up a chapter of One Order Motorcycle Club, an outlaw biker gang associated with the Hells Angels that was setting up shop in the city.

simpler at this point to just *Call the Election* #ableg #abpoli

The good news is if Rush Hour 4 ever gets to production, when it is released it will massively suck and The Rat will slink back into his hole

the last Rush Hour movie came out in 2007 and had a significantly lower box office than 2, and now you're reviving it 20 years later as a personal vanity project of the unpopular President? just one more data point for "David Ellison is going to run Paramount right into the fucking ground"

Massive expansion of the Gestapo kidnapping forces, now under way.

god i miss when posting was fun

So my one question about this RUSH HOUR 4 story (aside from WHY?!?!) is what happened to New Line? How is this a Paramount movie? I mean, I get that Ellison is bootlicking Trump, but did he buy the rights already?

This is Warner's selling out their artists to clear the deck for a sale www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/music-...

Since Trump really start declining in early June nothing he and his regime have done have been able to stop his fall. He just keeps dropping. It's pretty remarkable.

Electricity prices in ON have already risen 29% this year, partly tied to nuclear spending. New report from @pembina.org warns that leaning on nat gas in the short term + new nuclear in the long term will lead to the province missing low-cost opportunities in renewables. @matinsarfraz.bsky.social

And Searle “Exclusive midnight tours of the Legislature for the hate preacher” Turton makes it 10! That’s 10 UCP MLA’s up for recall! #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

I teased this last night in What I’m Hearing but now confirmed: Paramount WILL release Rush Hour 4 after prodding from Trump on behalf of Brett Ratner. Distribution deal. Producer Tarak Ben Ammar is lining up financing. Get ready for the dumbest possible state-controlled media.

Dan Williams shaving his mustache before the end of Movember is just about as apt a metaphor as you can get for healthcare in Alberta… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

BREAKING: Trump pardons turkey who appeared 28 times on Epstein flight logs

The more recall petitions get approved the more people will start to buy into the idea that the UCP can be removed. I don't see how Dani doesn't call an election to try and forestall this #ableg

And then there were... 14. Recall petitions have been approved against Glenn Van Dijken, Jackie Lovely, Nathan Neudorf, Jason Stephan and Searle Turton. That's 14 of the 47 UCP MLAs now facing potential recall. www.elections.ab.ca/recall-initi...

About a dozen parents and children here at Vancouver city hall this morning for a change-in protest in response to the city looking at removing change tables and hygiene stations. Today, council votes on the 2026 budget that would see a zero percent property tax increase.

YMMV

At this point, the Washpost edit page is just trolling its readers. This is today's actual house editorial.

Meanwhile… In healthcare restructuring… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The UCP are so incompetent and corrupt they now want to outsource their terrible written legislation to AI so it can write it terribly and likely illegally

This can't possibly go wrong

Exactly

BBC censors a lecture removing author’s remarks on Trump that refer to him a the most openly corrupt American president.

This a good primer on why human expression, especially movies and tv, is inevitably going to get much much worse arstechnica.com/features/202...

"LLMs are simply tools that emulate the communicative function of language, not the separate and distinct cognitive process of thinking and reasoning, no matter how many data centers we build."

Although with the re-privatization of driver testing in this stupid province and the inevitable corruption that follows, more testing wouldn't necessarily solve anything.

I seriously can't believe that earning the right/privilege to pilot increasingly large and heavy vehicles capable of high speeds is just a one and done thing. I got my license as soon as I could when I was 16. I'd be more than happy to get re-tested - I'd probably learn a few things.

I once live-tweeted our attempt to cancel a mis-sold Virgin Media contract. It went viral to such a level that eventually the CEO had to call me personally to apologize for how fucking awful they are. Just to give them some modicum of a PR save they could use to counter the massive negative press.
