A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women

🧵

Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

so they can use provincial money to make a whole new police force that we don’t need but they can’t pay teachers appropriately or build new schools???????

what the fuck is going on

You know the part of the cop show where they invoke right to an attorney & one shows up in a couple hours?

Yeah that’s not really how it works

You will need to be quiet for a long time

They may make you feel like you need to get your own lawyer & maybe you do!

But maybe you end up waiting it out

An Edmonton local University buried a time capsule today, with a copy of the Edmonton Journal and honestly it's fucked up that in 100 years someones going to dig that up and read about how the RCMP refused to search for Samuel Bird which lead to him showing up dead nearly 6 months later

They want a gd who tells them it’s ok to hurt and kill the people they hate and if they don’t get one they’ll just make one up bsky.app/profile/diew...

RCMP Violated Charter Rights During CGL Arrests, Court Finds | The Tyee Indigenous land defenders found guilty of criminal contempt may receive shorter sentences due to ‘extremely serious,’ ‘racist’ conduct.

#BREAKING: Sleydo' Molly Wickham, Shaylynn Sampson and Corey Jocko will not serve prison time after a BC Supreme Court judge handed them a suspended sentence in Smithers court today for their role in opposing the #CoastalGasLink pipeline conflict.

More to come in @thetyee.ca. #bcpoli

They were arrested on their own land for protecting their water source, then attacked by RCMP with axes in cabins, this was all a national shame to protect a pipeline they ran through their land.

Who is LakotaMan, the user behind one of the most popular Native American accounts on X? John Martin is adored by white X users—but infamous among Native and Indigenous communities.

I am seeing a lot of people reposting Lakota Man today bc it's Indigenous Peoples Day. A reminder that he is not well liked amongst many (most?) Natives on social media. Many of us blocked him a long time ago. Some of the reasons why are in this article.

www.dailydot.com/irl/lakotama...

Today is a great day to block and rid your life of Lakota Man.

Not only is he a grifter, raising funds for nonexistent things, but he ALSO scrapes other peoples' and tribes stories and wisdom and pretends they are his own.

He is an example of extractive whiteness, and represents no one.

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread:

I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong.

So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "I'm willing to pay more for quality products if they are made in America, by Americans, who are paid a decent income." The tweet shows Norman Rockwell's "Freedom of Speech" painting, which is often used to show the tweeter is expressing a brave opinion.

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "MINIMUM WAGE JOBS WERE NOT MEANT TO BE A CAREER. Why does no one understand this? Entry level jobs are STEPPING STONES to better jobs. No one wants to work towards that though."

HardPass4 on Twitter tweets: "Buy $5 gloves instead of $50 ones. Trust me." The tweet shows a box of "Gorilla Grip" gloves.

The label on Gorilla Grip gloves show they're made in China.

It's hard to help Americans left behind because so much of US identity is rooted in individualism. The average American conservative holds all three positions at once:

— Virtue signals about supporting US manufacturing
— Against raising the minimum wage
— Buys foreign imports because they're cheap

The Monovalent Mirage A pretend alternative to the MMR exists, just ask Andrew Wakefield

I wrote a thing about how this split the MMR up into monovalents is bullshit that Andrew Wakefield cooked up. It will be used to strip access to the MMR.

The MAHA movement continues to destroy public health.

Even creepier given that this was written by a 63-year-old dude

My Favorite Actress Is Not Human Tilly Norwood doesn’t need a hairstylist, has no regrettable posts, and if you wish to see a virgin on-screen, this is one of your better chances. That’s because she’s AI. A picture of some AI girl standing on an AI landscape with an AI monster behind her. I'm gonna be so real: she looks about 14 By Tyler Cowen

I'm sorry: "if I wish to see a virgin on-screen"?

They are awarding the biggest contract in Canadian history to a 🇺🇸 firm. Elbows up 🙄

Alberta is landlocked. The Liberals are destroying Alberta O&G.

(Bloomberg) – Alberta's oil production rose to a record 4.32 million barrels a day (bpd) in July as oil sands companies boosted output from well sites to fill the expanded Trans Mountain pipeline.Sep 3, 2025

Canada-wide warrant issued for suspect in hit-and-run crash that killed 13-year-old boy in south Edmonton last year Police have issued Canada-wide warrants for Abraham Alfonso Chavez, 41 in relation to the hit-and-run crash that killed 13-year-old boy.

Don’t let your attention be lured by the siren beauty of the autumn leaves. Lest you slip upon their rotted remains and crash into rocky corners.

It’s wet leaf season again #yegbike

My personal timeline is full of autistic people trying to explain that there isn't more autism than before, it's just that we're better at detecting it, and there's nothing more autistic than hoping explaining something at length will help matters when nobody is really listening.

Paging Alberta

This is Jack.

Jack consulted on Danielle Smith’s anti-trans legislation because he was worried about the safety of Alberta’s youth.

Unless they dare to challenge his worldview.

Then he’s apparently all up for arguing 17 year olds should be beaten.

Trump has shuttered the office responsible for providing oversight of his activities, separate from the ongoing shutdown. The Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE),

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.

Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

A broken sink but the tap still releases water into what little of the basin remains

When I say "I'm functioning" this is what I mean

Well what do you know

WHEN DEFINITIONS ARE READ. For years, I have worked on messaging and communication with organizers, activists, and electeds, and especially with young organizers. We have to say what we mean and mean what we say. It should be clear, relatable, and connected to people's lives.

Deputy Ministers' Council Deputy ministers are the most senior public servants in each ministry. They support the minister and oversee day-to-day operations.

1 I’ve done an inventory on www.alberta.ca/deputy-minis... of who got high-paying deputy minister appointments since UCP buddy Dale McFee was appointed to the top civil servant job. Based on McFee’s history, no surprise that 4 of his friends/associates soon after got appointments. ...
