I think the beginning of the collapse of western civilization can be traced back to around the time Myth Busters ended and Duck Dynasty started.
Food Reviews from my youngest & picky eater
Deep Dish Frozen pizza
"It's actually pretty good. Has a good mouth feel"
Call me cynical but this is to pin blame on Nenshi in a run-up to the next provincial election.
How long until these are in Dani's sights? She already killed renewables.

Just before I left my job at CBC, I scraped more than 23,000 teacher email addresses from hundreds of Alberta school websites.
The CBC's Elise Stolte then sent a questionnaire to each one.
She got more than 6,000 responses!
Those form the basis of a new series.
The stories can be found here:
Web article version of the story here edmonton.citynews.ca/2026/03/11/e...
"Covid will be over in two weeks. Gone by Easter"
"We're signing a health care plan within two weeks"
"They’re dying, Russians & Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. I’ll have that done — I’ll have that done in 24 hours"
Based on his record, this isn’t ending anytime soon.

If you were trying to plunge the world into recession, you couldn’t write a better playbook: slap tariffs on everyone, then start a war that launches oil to $200.

Social media influencers increase the toxicity and power of #misinformation www.cardiff.ac.uk/news/view/30...
"Our findings show influencers generate more toxicity than regular users..."
And "shows the negative impact of what happens when influencers decide to endorse or amplify misinformation."
We've decided that we are going to go away for Christmas this year. When your extended family is toxic AF and keeps repeating poor behavior, they don't get access to us.
Nope, gonna keep our peace and have an enjoyable holiday season far away instead!
Worth a share, and rewatch if you have seen it. Everybody should understand what suburbs actually cost, and why, because it affects all of us in some way or other. And there are so much better ways to design! (microgrids, zoning, localized everything, efficient transport, etc)

Subtext in this — Smith is not bound by ethics, truth or Canadian law. Smith is a MAGA Petrosexual. & Carney won’t protect Canadians & First Nations from the consequences of petrochemical pollution.
I ❤️ Impact Assessment Act & I am shocked Carney is caving to MAGA.

From me and @reportrix.bsky.social today:

The Centre for Free Expression has done far more legwork, contacting every Alberta school division, asking how many removed books, and sending access to info requests to every division that said they did remove materials. The results they have so far are in this national challenge database #AbEd
When ‘your freedom of choice’ is diminished, are you truly free?
Why Alberta’s book banning initiative is ‘an affront to democracy’

Shutterfly changed how you make photobooks.
Did they do any end user testing? This new system is trash - I have been making photo books for nearly 20 years, and this new system just is too much for one space.
Also, it isn't working properly. Hide used photos? Ha! How about just some of them?
Just like Alberta and Danielle Smith!

Every time he does this, I want to rain bombs down on the White House and Pentagon.
Every time, rage courses through my body.
Americans have no idea how much we fucking loathe your government, and, increasingly, the lack of action we see from Americans.
Then there are some Americans who don’t understand why Canadians are pissed off at the United States. Fuck Trump!
Americans demand to know who they have to bomb to lower gas prices
So we are 'building' a bunch of k-6 and k-9 schools in Alberta.
Where are the high schools? All the high schools in Edmonton are overflowing and out of room. The 1 Catholic school in #yeg isn't nearly enough for all the kids who are currently in elementary and will be moving up.
