I remember early May 2025: a beautiful 25ºC gamenight during the 2nd round of the playoffs, and 104st was still covered under a layer of winter grime, because the DBA's members are too lazy to do anything for themselves. Cartmell & the ucp cronies will never bail these losers out. #yeg

I've been finding it very hard to take what's happening in AB lately. Exhausted by it all really. BUT, reminded tonight, once again, I'm very blessed to live here. East of #YEG on Treaty 6 & traditional territories of the Cree, Blackfoot, & Métis peoples. The Aurora sat me down tonight & I listened.

David Eby says he was “being polite” when he humoured the Alberta premier’s pipeline plans. “Don’t mistake my politeness for weakness on protecting our economy and our coast.” @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2025/10...

If anyone has been to the projects on Allendale Road, Fort Road, or 97 Street near 153 Ave, please share pics or updates :) #yegbike

Be ungovernable

As we get into the spooky season, I feel like I should mention I have a long (and growing) list of short horror videos for a daily dose of creepy content over on @letterboxd.social. Almost all of them are readily available to watch on YouTube. boxd.it/c5ya4

Please tell us to fuck all the way off.

...in September we average 32mm of precipitation, and 2025 was SUPER low. The airport recorded 0.6mm, Blatchford got to 0.9mm, and Stony Plain had 1.5mm. Campsie (100km NW) got up to 13.3mm, but that's still well below average. public.tableau.com/shared/SP8W9...

...for October, we average about 1~2 Highs of 20°C, but half of the time there are none. October also averages 2 Highs below 0°C, and 14 freezing Lows. And...7cm of snow on average, although 2021, 2022 & 2024 had none. public.tableau.com/shared/SKFQW...

Italy's largest union, with over 5.5 million workers, has called a general strike for Friday in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla. And smaller Italian unions have said they will join CGIL's general strike.

Dear British Columbia, I am begging you to announce a plan to build wind and solar in 'burta.

BREAKING: Edmonton police have deemed the disappearance of Samuel Bird criminal, and are presuming he is dead. They’ve released an area where they believe his body may be hidden.

hey canadian media, I've got a bridge to sell you, since you're all such gullible yokels.

I haven't noticed any change whatsoever on my paycheck but I really miss that carbon tax rebate that I could use to get an oil change or stock my pantry up, actually

I do not want to be rooting for the legal departments of major copyright holders stop making me do that

Drivers are gonna lose their shit whether we remove 5 parking spots for bike lanes or 50 so we may as well just remove 50

...September averages around 11 20°C Highs, and 2025 had...24? Yup, 24. That included 12 25°C Highs, when we average 3. No 30°C days, but it did have 3 29°C Highs on the 12th, 13th & 20th. The coldest High was 15.9°C. September averages 8 Highs below 15°C. public.tableau.com/shared/3NPKC...

@yegbike.bsky.social Callingwood active transportation is rideable from 178 st to 170 st. Past that the sidewalk has been dug but there is no asphalt. Davies appears to be completed! There is still some additional roadwork in the area.

Bruce McAllister is a former global calgary anchor. Does he still have friends in calgary media? (almost certainly) Are they unbiased in this coverage? (almost certainly not)

What a great day for a bike ride on treaty 6 lands. #YEG

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

They cut off his mic. We’re giving him the floor. Join Evan Li and me for a conversation tonight! ⏰ 8 PM 📺 YouTube Live: youtube.com/@naheednensh...

The first block of 113 st MUP south from Kingsway to slopitch parking lot is complete and beautifully smooth. Kingsway crossing will be next year. Also concrete at 113 st/111 ave north side, and progressing along 111 ave west to 119 st and east towards 109 st.

I apparently missed this a couple days ago. BlueSky capitulating to fascism, which is what it always does. Jay: No Caesars! (Except the Caesars whose boots we grovel before.)

I was wondering what AI models know about me. ChatGPT used a consevative wiki, Gemini shared my email and phone number and made up that I'm a public health professional, and DeepSeek invented a whole universe where I'm "The Face" of a fancy watches company.

We really need an opposition party that will be as angry at greedy oil companies as our government is at teachers.

If you feel out of the loop with all the orange shirts today, read this new story on ECAMP. This is not the distant past. My grandparents were alive when children were forced to do dangerous work at this "school” in St. Albert. #yeg #yeghistory #trday citymuseumedmonton.ca/2025/09/30/m...

Day 8 of the #carfreechallenge2025 - listen for Sir Squawk's statue finding. I cannot tell you how much more I learn from the kids in the bike in front of me vs them sitting behind me in a car. Bike time=connection time #cargobikelife #yegbike #bunchbike #happyriding

Utter contempt and disrespect from Bruce McAllister. Cutting off the kid's mic and limiting his freedom of expression is one thing, but saying he should be spanked is a fireable offense from a supposedly neutral moderator. Bruce needs to be removed immediately.

So I'm working on a winter yegbike attachment...

We hope everyone involved is ok! #yegbike

I'd forgotten about this post. 7 months ago... #yeg #yegbike

A 2019 throwback of @coffeeoutside.bsky.social. Back when it was Twitter, back before the kiddos, back when I had 'more time'. My greatest ignorance perhaps, thinking I had more time. Make the time for #community. Do something nice today. #yegbike

Day 7 of #carfreechallenge2025 Lots of bike trips on a beautiful fall day #happyriding #bunchbike #yegbike #cargobikelife

@cityofhamilton.bsky.social should send city council to Edmonton for a week to take notes on some of the good urbanism choices they've made. From raised bike lanes and wide sidewalks to detailed map signs and art EVERYWHERE! They also have a working LRT system, what a concept 🤯 #yeg #hamont

Readers have been asking for my final assessment of city council to help them with their voting choices, so here it is. Along with a short thread. There’s a lot to unpack from the past four years, more than I can cram into a single column. #yeg #yegelxn edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

Once, Sesame Street was a lifeline for indie animators. It offered money and incredible freedom to create. This built an indie animation boom that powered MTV, Nickelodeon and much more. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-golden...

if admin timed the westend traffic madness for the election, specifically to sink knack, that would be hilarious, because it was absolutely his job to tell them not to do incredibly stupid stuff like this.

I’ve tried to pack a lot in here: TL;DR - Many AB teachers intend to vote against a contract offer - among them is a teacher who chaired the bargaining committee until last week - ATA internal comms says if they strike, the scale will be unprecedented; public pressure will affect outcome #AbEd

"In some places, French postal workers now pick up prescriptions, return library books, and deliver flowers. Last year, only twenty eight per cent of La Poste’s revenue came from sending mail." Services can evolve in positive ways to meet new and growing needs.

this is a beautiful eulogy from @mitchellab.bsky.social womenofabpoli.substack.com/p/darren-mar...
