I just blocked the White House and unfollowed two people who were following it.

I absolutely love the sentence β€œthe archon of Constantinople’s epistle on the Pentacostine rites of the Eucharist clearly states women shouldn’t have driver’s licenses" and I think about it all the time.

Opinion | The moment I knew the world would try to move on from Jamal Khashoggi I could see it coming at Time’s 2018 Person of the Year celebration.

The Saudi government murdered Jamal Khashoggi seven years ago today. His editor @karenattiah.bsky.social wrote this two years ago.

You can see a cleft down the middle of the red fruits in this image, so that makes me think red plum: bsky.app/profile/gagh...

The big green and yellow ones look like somewhat unripe mangoes, but they also might be papaya.

Nestled in the grapes is what appears to be a peach.

He had Trump signs on his lawn and was in a Facebook picture from 2019 wearing a Trump shirt.

I'm guessing he was a Trump voter.

3) Danielle Smith and her government resigns and you do not elect the UCP for the lifespan of the project.

4) pay BC a percentage of oil and gas revenues as compensation for the pipeline.

Those are my terms.

Hey Alberta, I understand you want a new oil pipeline through Northern BC. I will oppose it every step of the way unless you give me a few conditions:

1) remove your silly moratorium on renewables such as wind and solar.

2) an emissions cap (NOT a production cap) on all oilsands development.

Unfortunately, the show's aesthetic probably wouldn't have worked on the big screen. It would have looked too low budget and TV.

It's only been recently where TV and film aesthetics have merged.

If it was an SUV from the late 90s/early 2000s, then it'll roll over if you look at it wrong.
