Contacted by a predatory publisher for the first time. They called me Dr. though, so I'm only sort of annoyed.

If I was Sophie I would be sooooo smug.

I was bitten by a bat and had to have 9 shots... I mean, they eat things I don't like, but not a huge fan.

(This happened in 2021 so I can confirm that either the bat was not rabid, or the vaccine worked. Either way, no sudden fear of water followed by death for me.)

You might think Daft Punk eat batteries and oil for lunch because they are robots, but they are French, so they eat cigarettes and wine.

2/2 3) If we rely on the global pricing of crude, ensuring windfall profits, would it not be ethical for some of that to be paid to Canada considering the BILLIONS in subsidies o&g has received in the past?

🧵1/2. 1) I think it's weird to suggest the Federal Government has no influence when O&G has more meetings with the feds than anyone else. 2) Feds could step in - and in fact just did - in an emergency.

Y'all understand that even if Poillievre resigned it won't prevent the current LPC govt from moving ahead with conservative priorities, right?
Media framing on almost every story is like "conservative MPs unhappy..." They can cross the floor because the "values" are *the same.*
I'm exhausted.

"Her then husband's confession [that he drugged and SA'd her for years] came on an otherwise ordinary Sunday [after they] returned from church."

Whine about loneliness but go to church (THAT'S COMMUNITY), SA your unconscious wife AND talk about it in chatrooms.
We need to enact "Bobbitt Punishment"

Mark Carney is governing like a right winger — but Liberals are giving him a pass.

At this weekend’s Liberal convention, Martin Lukacs pressed delegates and MPs on the gulf between Liberal rhetoric and reality.

Party that exists only to obtain power not sure what to do now

Screenshot from the environmental defence website that reads: About The Backgrounder: Environmental Defence’s tracking of fossil fuel industry lobbyists reveals that Big Oil had at least 986 meetings with the federal government in 2025, nearly four per working day. With the federal election early in 2025, the fossil fuel lobby acted quickly to pressure the government to grant its wishlist of environmental and climate policy rollbacks. The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers lobbied the government at least 138 times, the most active lobbyist in the industry, opposing each federal climate regulation. Minister for Natural Resources, Tim Hodgson, met with more fossil fuel lobbyists than any other elected official, taking at least 63 lobby meetings since being appointed to his position in May.

"It's good economics" or something. Ya, we pay less tax for a few months while O&G has received subsidies for years and is currently making an estimated extra $170M/day. (policyalternatives.ca)

C'mon everyone, at least _we_ don't have to make _sacrifices_ at the pump.

"The Canadian oil and gas industry is making an extra $170 million in profits every day" but yes *up to* .10/L for a few month totally evens things out.

I have a laptop that was basically intended as a word processor/occasional browser. Only 4G of ram basically almost all used just to run windows. Last night it finally dawned on me: Be like France. Run Linux on it. Duh 🤦‍♀️

I love whoever matched this image with this headline.

I wish everyone understood how little politicians actually care about the working class. "Political strategy" is just a fancy term for lying. It's dangling the carrot on a 3-foot string from a helicopter.
