Weapons manufacturers are making a killing.

Amnesty strongly condemns Israel’s deliberate killing of journalists in an air strike on a media tent in occupied Gaza City.

No conflict in modern history has seen a higher number of journalists killed than Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in the #Gaza Strip.

It doesn't mean healthcare in AB is finally fixed? 😲

If anyone feels like having a little say about this, here is the NP editor-in-chief's email. I'm sure he'd love to hear from you.

But we created 4 new health minister portfolios, doesn't that make us job creators? /s

I couldn't find the link on the website, so thanks to @jlisayoung.bsky.social for posting.

Canada: “We are prepared to issue as many empty statements as necessary to stop this genocide”

It's been wonderful with how little Poilievre has mattered these last couple of months in the news.

Did someone say it was #InternationalCatDay? Less than a month ago, the James Webb Space Telescope released an image of the Cat's Paw Nebula—focusing on a particular "toe bean." 🐾

Max could have NOT talked with Jesse.

Many of us do not.

Canada is Canada-ing again.

Truth?
Reconciliation?

Just words it seems.

#TBT this article bubbled up recently, re 7 yrs ago, when I was preparing to celebrate 20th anniv of my recording career. A few more adventures have happened since then as I prep to release album #8 this Fall 2025! Thx Kate Hamblin & @rootsmusiccanada.bsky.social

Calgary police were asked:

🤠 if they are conducting facial recognition on social media posts,
🌐 where these data are held,
💼 whether the data are shared with other entities (including data brokers), and
🚔 if they intend to cease their illegal surveillance.

They did not respond. 3/

Calgary police are not alone in pursuing this dragnet surveillance.

Other users named in the documents include municipal police in Edmonton, Waterloo, Hamilton, Saskatoon & York, the provincial police forces in ON and QC, the ON and Toronto police unions and every ministry of the ON govt. 2/

I'd suggest "On Purpose" could mean "not directed by party platforms", but is a strange way to state so.

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen.

It's one of the biggest unspoken issues with media layoffs.

I once compared notes with friends post-layoff. We realized we had almost all pushed back on editors and/or questioned management decisions.

Do we really want our newsrooms to be full of those who blindly accept authority? I don't.

Driver of white pickup hits and kills child.

Wow, driverless vehicles are roaming Calgary streets killing innocent people.

Conservative media supports cars, not pedestrians or low emissions transportation.

‘MAGA performer’ booked to perform at the Legislature is a far-right associate of Artur Pawlowski and the Proud Boys

A large, semi-transparent pink, purple, and blue circular object with irregular edges and layers is set against the black background of space. At the center is a very small white star that looks like a dot. The irregular circle, known as the Little Gem Nebula, takes up most of the view. Thicker pink regions appear as arcs above and below the central star, and along the edges. These pink regions have finger-like protrusions and knots of denser gas, which point to the central star. More pink is between 9 o’clock and 6 clock, and near 12 o’clock. There is a little pink near 3 o’clock. There is a semi-translucent purple area in the center. A blue area extends more clearly beyond the purple, running to the edges except where the pink is most prominent. There is one clear white dot toward the top left.

Woosh! This is the Little Gem Nebula, a Sun-like star that has cast off its outer layers of gas and dust, captured by Hubble. The wind from the central star propels the outflows, forming bright blowouts in its outer layers.

Literally the day after I posted this, here’s Anita Anand:

3 pairs of PJs laying flat. Left to right they have a wookie and a little white ball shaped animal, a white armour costume, and the planets of our solar system

Do I know anyone in Calgary that has smallish kids that like star wars/space? Came across these forgotten Hanna Anderson pjs in the closet (size 10 but fit more like 8) and I’m a little nostalgic about having passed this stage but passing them on to someone else to enjoy seems positive

She was great. So many fabulous episodes of WKRP where she shone, but the one with the Radio Doctor where she went bimbo was tops for me. That whole bit worked because her character was one of the smarter ones since the beginning.

A great life and age to reach.

BC musician Rick Scott wrote this song & my old band covered & recorded it, about the earthquake that sinks BC leaving AB as the coast.

He's now died. Thanks for the music Rick.

So in summary, bike lanes transport 3.3% of people who commute into downtown, but only use 0.18% of the space on streets.🤔

That’s incredibly efficient! 😀Shouldn’t we want more of that?

While cars transport 96.7% but use 99.82% of the space between curbs.🤔
