I wonder how UCP MLAs are feeling about their boss dropping a giant turd, then leaving them holding the bag while she jets off the Riyadh to cosplay head of state for Alberta and do some shopping

Opinion: Alberta undermining public education — and democracy Any government that undermines ... the project of improving public school education in the face of difficulty is undermining ... democracy.

David King delineates the choice Albertans face.

An education system that fosters community & solidarity

Or an education system that favours individual freedom/liberty

But you must make this choice assuming the veil of poverty - not wealth

What say you now?

Surely only MAGA people are listening to him at this point and I'm betting they already eat a lot of those

The Reagan Foundation's entire purpose is to preserve Reagan's legacy and share his principles, but now they're backing up the current president who insists that "Ronald Reagan loved tariffs."

Great job defending Reagan's legacy and principles, guys.

Hey, was he a big fan of Russia too?

Trump's Plans for the East Wing Keep Changing. Here's a Look. Here’s what we know about Mr. Trump’s plans to remodel the torn-down East Wing.

It's long been my contention that ideology and aesthetics are two manifestations of the same thing. Witness Hitler's very kitsch paintings. Witness the gobsmacking tackiness of this structure

Man who asked ChatGPT about cutting out salt from his diet was hospitalized with hallucinations A case study in a medical journal reported that the 60-year-old man replaced sodium chloride with sodium bromide after consulting the AI bot.

Sure okay, LOL. I'll stick with my doctor, thanks.

German Company Launches Viral Ad Campaign For Lift Used in Louvre Heist: ‘Quiet as a Whisper’ A German firm stepped into the media spotlight this week thanks to a marketing campaign featuring the furniture lift used in the Louvre jewel heist.

When even Big Oil thinks you've gone too far. Here's an idea - make them pay for this program themselves if they find it valuable.

Can someone explain why there is money for ICE and the National Guard during the shutdown but not for the EPA, Dept. of Education, or National Library of Medicine?

We need laws against creating fake AI content of people's physical likeness without their consent. This isn't free speech; it's libel.

hello this sense of social isolation and purposelessness is often created by highly capitalist societies wherein traditional values associated with family and belonging to community are replaced by pursuit of wealth

when people can't achieve these, they turn to ideologies like fascism

Markus off is actually not a bad name to have on a ballot

Teachers: you know you've got a fair deal when, in a year from now, when the private schools come lobbying for money again, the government has to tell them "no," not because they want to, but because you've tied up everything in public education.

Don't stop until they roll back private funding.

"Tylenol is dangerous for women and children," say men who have spent the last eight years making life more dangerous for women and children

Well this is awkward

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have.

I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

every time we talk about parental permission in terms of book banning I'm like fuck man. kids have rights too. a 17-year-old should be able to check out books at the library without Mom and Dad stepping in. so should a 10-year-old or 7 or whatever. kids deserve SOME goddamn freedom and privacy

I bought the Cheeto KD because my kid nagged, and it was so gross he wouldn't eat it. Hope your schnitzel was more appetizing

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

this exists it is called thinking

Parenting hack: if your teen isn't answering your texts, text them and say "please respond or I'm leaving you a voicemail." This has never not worked for me.

Because most of those options are not going to get elected and people are told, "don't throw away your vote, if everybody unites behind the Liberal candidate, we can defeat the Conservative"

They don't - they get railroaded into voting for the less evil option to block the more evil one. We need proportional representation so people don't feel they have to make this choice.

I can't believe that someone with an English degree is this dumb. Has she ever read Ulysses, any Greek mythology, D.H. Lawrence?

Lots of politicians finding out right now how it feels to have Trump treat them the way he treats women.

Let's hear it for @foundbookshop.bsky.social (active on Insta) in Cochrane for their Labour Day display trolling Labour Day Parade Marshal Dani! Calgary, take a short road trip & buy some books there 😊!
