YouTube video by Triggernometry Fiery Israel-Palestine Debate with Bassem Youssef

A must watch! Bassem Youseff is a great voice for the unheard and unseen in Gaza.

With @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social telling the VP to be better and go fuck a couch, that’s worth a follow. #Minneapolis

I think @profgalloway.com said it best.

What does it look like when the top 1% are protected by the law but not bound by it. And what does it look like when the remaining 99% are bound by the same laws but not protected.

An Alberta musician just had his “republicans buy sneakers” moment.

What was Dante’s take on indecision?
… “ praise or blame and refused to take a stand—to the Vestibule of Hell”

From today at Davos : “If we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu”

Sage advice and wise counsel.

There is only one thing worse than fighting with allies, and that is fighting without them

Maybe you should stop whining about my whining?

The CBC has just posted a transcript of my recent As it Happens interview about X and Grok. I’m posting a couple of screen shots here - since they are a bit too long for alt text, I’ll post the link to the full transcript below. #cdnpoli #X #Grok #yeg #CSAM

Hoosiers Football up by 10 over Alabama at the #RoseBowl.

The only question to be answered: Who plays Cignetti in the movie?

We know John Mellencamp will write the soundtrack. #MinutesToMemories

One of my favorite dates on the college football calendar. The #ArmyNavyGame.

Love that the #DallasCowboys victory formation has a tip of the hat to Tom Landry with the O-line pre snap routine

Speaker Mike Johnson really ought to brush up on his Franz von Papen history.

Watching @dallascowboysnews.bsky.social and @lasvegasraiders.bsky.social on #MNF it’s always going to take some getting used to seeing anyone other than Tony Dorsett wearing #33 and Marcus Allen wearing
#32

Andrew Scheer’s best CPC talking point for an MP floor crossing and a resignation is “ this came to a head from these liberal tactics” Looks like Jenni Byrne has got some heavy lifting in the next couple of days. #CNDPOLI

Very well said.

The CPC taking on water. First a floor crossing, the Bloc votes supporting the Liberals defeating Conservatives budget motion and now the resignation of Matt Jeneroux. #CDNPOLI

A prairie sunrise. Edmonton Alberta.

Still feeling the sting from that #WorldSeries game seven. The good news, MLB pitchers and catchers report February 20th. 107 days and counting.

Read and share widely. Your fundamental human rights are at stake.

Travel day before game 6 of the #WorldSeries , feels like the right time to watch The Natural.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever has. -Margaret Mead-

Danielle Smith - UCP invokes the notwithstanding clause, 1st time in AB since 2000, closure motions to end debate which all but guarantees passing. Then jumps on a plane for the Middle East. This is not democracy at its best. #ABLEG

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.

I have a very bad feeling about this...
