Happy MAR10 day
Never is the wall of separation between governance and operations more porous than when you ask elected officials for input on official cultural symbols.
Honestly, I'm just amazed we got through this without having to deal with a petition to put "Fuck Trudeau" somewhere on there.
Everyone who enabled this should be run out of Alberta politics on a rail.
Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.
I don't think the average person has any idea of the degree to which unpaid internships ensure that those from society's upper crust maintain outsized influence over cultural institutions and by extension, the public discourse.
market people are fucking hilarious you could tell them the moon was discovered to be made out of rare pokemon cards and they'd boost trading cards stock 90000%
At the store doing the weekly grocery shop, next in line at checkout, when what appeared to be a fairly enthusiastic Disney Adult saddled up behind me with only three items. Not only did I not ridicule this person, but I let them go in front of me.
You’re welcome, Universe.

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

Good news. We’ve been lobbying the provincial government for this for sometime. As a rural border community, a one hour straight shot to Grand Prairie is a lot easier in the winter than four hours through the pine pass, especially for seniors or those with compromising health issues.
Northern Health reports 82 hours of northeast ER closures in February
B.C.'s chief coroner will be holding an inquest into the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge.

We've been waiting. The people of the Peace welcome the rest of British Columbia to the path of enlightenment.
My most generous interpretation is he's keeping his powder dry for the fights where he can have an impact. My least generous one is that he's an amoral technocrat that sees opportunity in the destabilization of other petro-states because it makes Canada that much more attractive for investment.
If your business model relies on everyone but you working for free, you don't have a fucking business model.
If you were to draw a Venn Diagram of people who think they would flourish in a post-apocalyptic hellscape and those who melted down at the prospect of having to wear a mask while grocery shopping during the pandemic, you would have a perfect circle. Self-awareness is not one of their strengths.

Every time I read about Sony or Amazon throwing good money after bad, I am compelled to point out that they cancelled the Wheel of Time coming off its strongest season.
He who makes his plans based on the assumption of an eternal summer will always look the fool when winter inevitably returns.
Hi hi, here to share this absolutely beautiful video made by BC Parks about Liard River Hot Springs. No jump scare, no forest fires or jarring human impact. Just… really pretty. And six minutes long! It’s incredible.

I also got a family doctor last year, fwiw.
We can add "Cyborg Propaganda" to my growing list of new dystopian terms.
