Alberta announces move to 1950s time
“Many Albertans just aren’t comfortable with the current times,” a UCP spokeswoman said
The spokeswoman was then replaced with a spokesman so that she could return to her proper role as a homemaker.
That's housewife to you, sonny.

Infiltration and subversion are sapping and impurifying all of our precious bodily fluids. A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual.

If only I could. You want fucking normalcy? Try fixing your country. Try not being the fucking repulsive country out there threatening and attacking- how many countries? Sure. Sue ME for not finding you delightful

I tell my students to write this way. Alas, they don't seem to believe me that this is the best way.

Add Arboreality by Rebecca Campbell to this list

I always think that if I don't get one or two that say I am too political, I'm not doing my job.

Camp Kawabi too.

Headline: We Need Humanities Research. "Society needs specialized humanities research—research that delves deeply into literary, linguistic, or cultural topics. Just as medical research cannot progress without basic scientific research, so social and cultural criticism needs deep research before it can 'go public.'" Paula M.

"Society needs specialized humanities research—research that delves deeply into literary, linguistic, or cultural topics," says @paulakrebs.bsky.social. We need to invest in humanities research for the advancement of society. #TalkAboutHumanities

And now various Albertans with erroneous memories or who weren't around in the 80s are advocating for a made-in-Canada or made-in-AB oil price so that they don't have to pay market prices at the pump. What did they think the NEP was about? Most can't even explain the NEP if asked.

I know America has a lot on right now, but if you guys could adopt some real units of measurement before the next Artemis mission, it would make this stuff a lot easier to follow.

did they try turning it off and then on again?

thanks for this @scalzi.com . I just ordered one for my (English department) office door.

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment.

This is so nostalgic. I remember waiting and waiting for the crews to emerge when I watched space missions as a kid. The capsule even looks like the old ones!

image from inside Artemis II text: i need more men to understand that two men crying and hugging in space after one of them announced they were naming a moon crater after the other one's late wife is actually what peak masculinity looks like.

there's still so much fecundity and enduring beauty in the nonhuman world. let's preserve and treasure it.

Everyone is calling for the 25th Amendment to be invoked. Even a Canadian can Google and find out it needs the support of the Vice President. How the fuck do you think that's going to happen?

are you my husband?

hey, that's the way Goldwin Smith described it at the time.

trust me, at the moment in Canada there are no girls that want to date that guy

This is the end for #Toronto 's McLaughlin Planetarium. Long shuttered, it is now being demolished.
Shedding a tear for this childhood landmark for many of us 70s and 80s kids.

I think the Stem nerds who love Hail Mary are missing a few Astrophage. How can the book work so hard on the details on space travel and biology and physics and such, and completely ignore all the research on language and how it works? Completely unbelievable plot as a result. Disappointing.

The real story on drugs crossing the 🇺🇸🇨🇦 border: they’re coming in from the Nazi USA, not the other way round as 🇺🇸Nazi Trump claims.
