I will never forget watching The Last Picture Show for the first time in my mid-teens. (I think it was on BBC 2 on a Sunday night film slot.) Man, it blew me away.

Ferlinghetti: “Pity the nation whose leaders are liars
Whose sages are silenced
and whose bigots haunt the airwaves”

This strikes me as pretty bad

So true.

I’ve been to City Lights Books. The ghosts of Kerouac, Ginsberg & Ferlinghetti still haunt that place. It’s magic.

Restaurant industry supports holding Alberta’s minimum wage steady One industry agrees with the Alberta government that now is not the time to raise the province’s $15 minimum wage, which just became the lowest in Canada.

Shocked shocked I tell you that the industry that can pay teens less than minimum wage and routinely steals tips thinks the minimum wage should stay the lowest in Canada

My friends, many at IOL, have asked me for my roster of employment lawyers. (I have had many jobs, so I know many employment lawyers.) It’s one of the saddest referrals I've sent in days. My wishes of "good luck" were hollow knowing the tough job market for an engineer with 25 - 30 years experience.

‘Shameless’: How the Alberta Next Panel Blamed Immigrants | The Tyee Divisive scapegoating, including showing a slanted video, fits the populist playbook, says an expert.

Blaming immigrants is not new in Alberta. My latest for The Tyee.

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Happy Birthday to the great David Hidalgo RS

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

Fast EV charging will link Manitoba's north | The Narwhal The Manitoba government will connect Winnipeg to Thompson with 6 new EV charging stations. It’s part of a plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions

Remote regions have long had less access to EV infrastructure. A new investment from the Manitoba government hopes to change that — and connect the north. New from @jsrutgers.bsky.social: thenarwhal.ca/northern-man...

...the more you know...

HA HA HA this made me 😂

So TikTok is going to be taken over by Oracle & will be using the same surveillance tech as the IDF.

Move accordingly...

Working on something about Calgary's three municipal parties and finding it easy to describe the two conservative parties. But when it comes to The Calgary Party, I still can't tell you concisely, without looking, what they are about. That's a problem. #yyccc

One of the signs at the rally yesterday said something like: "if only students were a pipeline..."

This Alberta government will struggle to resolve this strike and to negotiate with teachers because teachers hold entirely different values than the government: kindness, inclusion, and integrity.

MAGA MAPLE declared that a youth that asked a question at a public event should be "spanked."
Danielle Smith accused the school board of being "viciously compliant" when they released the list of books the MAGA morons were trying to ban.
In Alberta, the kids are alright.

To fully appreciate how people can live in an absolute information free bubble, know that there were parents in Alberta who sent their kids to school today; some blissfully ignorant, some because of language barriers.

Also know the striking teachers sorted it out for parents.

Unpaid.

Good morning.

In case you missed it yesterday, Albertans are pissed. And some 40k of us showed up across the province, on the eve of an historic teacher’s strike, to let this government know just how pissed we are.

Bravo, Alberta. Give ‘em hell.

FULL VIDEO: Calgary Ward 14 debate at Midnapore | The Sprawl With four out of seven candidates.

The Sprawl's Ward 14 vid has already already been viewed 1.8K times. Credit where it's due: Landon Johnston initiated this forum b/c there wasn't one happening. When I arrived, Erin Averbukh was setting out chairs. Candidates were all invited nearly two weeks in advance, 3 opted not to go. #yyccc

😂🤣 That’s good.

The question is, at what point do states mobilize their own forces to counter an invading army? That’s when things really get interesting (terrifying).
