*find, rather

@eissyrc.bsky.social Are you all wrapped up over at twitter? I couldn't tind your name.

A photo of a Tesla with a bumper sticker that reads “Bought it before we knew how awful he is.”

I figure many owners feel this way.

In case you were wondering, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms’ 2023 “Year in Review” does not include any mention of its president having his law license suspended for 3 years for hiring a private eye to place a judge under surveillance.

I think a lot about the epidemiologist I heard on NPR at the start of the pandemic who said her primary concern for misinformation was "bored white guys who love data"

The deal seems to be that people can largely live like in pre-pandemic times as long as we accept getting miserably ill maybe twice a year (especially during family holidays), accept heightened risks of long-term health problems, and let old/vulnerable folks die. Doesn’t seem like a good deal to me.

I just received a FOIP package tied to the Alberta renewable energy pause and, I kid you not, the government redacted what could only be the words "oil and gas" or "oil industry" or similar, in this email. This is absurd. #abpoli #cdnpoli

just found out about Irawaddy Dolphins and I need a minute

That blows. I'm so sorry. I think that people getting smacked arpund by covid might have a better idea of what we deal with from day to day.

Such a bummer.

It's a very large, almost empty room, in a way.

...and Telus just axed 6000 jobs.

Alberta just axed renewable energy projects in Alberta.

"Tilting at windmills" just turned into a very dark phrase indeed.

The easiest way to find white people in the woods is to belt out "Sweet Caroline"

They'll inevitably shout back "bum bum bum .."

The Oil Industry Makes Its Own Rules in Canada’s Tar Sands An oil refinery processing tar sands crude without permits for over two decades showcases Alberta’s need for regulation. But with the Trudeau Liberals’ history of giving Big Oil no-strings-attache...

A refinery in northern Alberta was able to operate for 22 years without environmental permits, demonstrating the lawlessness of Alberta's oil and gas industry.

Many people cannot find their arse with both hands, so perhaps not.

The Bluesky error screen should be a chicken screaming that the sky is falling

Good night and sweet dreams... A week of insomnia is catching up and I may be completely unable to function if this doesn't work out soon.

Until then, I love you and take your night drugs.

Fibro?

Cabinet shuffle. Always going to be concerned when Canada finally starts federal disability benefits process then switches out the minister responsible. 🤞

Oh no!

Is the *leopard* at least Still Alive?!?

I find that even if it's in the Out of Milk app it can be forgotten. Bc No one looked at the app before going.

Fibro fog in this case. ADHD must feel really strange in a grocery store. Too many colours and shapes.

"longest undefended border" is no longer on the table.

"Go North, young man, go north!"

Invade. No more vassal designation.

Pity.

With, frankly, a ton of complicity by Canadian media.

Unfortunately they’re poised to purchase Canada’s next government.

Obviously ghosts aren't real, if they were, the ghost of Nikola Tesla would haunt the grifter who bought the company bearing his name and turned that name into a watchword for shoddy, dangerous products, using his ghost powers to ensure that talentless hack is incapable of happiness or satisfaction.

Ouch.

This should be obvious, but just as addressing social biases requires adopting an explicit counter bias (anti-whatever the original bias was), governments that claim to want to increase conservation and protect biodiversity need to adopt an explicit pro-conservation stance.
