🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.

This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..

Remember everyone, if the Louvre robbers were stealing the jewels in order to return them to the country that Napoleon originally stole them from, no snitching!

Michael Mann Says He Might Experiment With AI in β€˜Heat 2’: β€˜Aging and De-Aging May Be Very Important’ Michael Mann said 'Heat 2' will probably tap into AI for de-aging and will be theatrically released.

Michael Mann leaning into AI here would be an unfortunate, devastating, blow to HEAT 2. If you want to look at a sequel with a similar past/present/future angle, look no further than GODFATHER II which pulled off various ages, over decades, with just makeup and good actors.

if you're going to a protest today I wish you luck. The only specific thing I will beg of you is this: don't use milk to wash out tear gas or mace. if you see a street medic with milk, yell at them until they throw it out. do not continue to spread lies about emergency medicine.

Pretty much every single one of these new government accounts is posting rage bait. It's possible (like 100% guaranteed) they are trying to provoke people here on purpose, so don't fall for it. Blockity block block block.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Watching Far From the Madding Crowd (1967) and, considering it an adaptation of a Thomas Hardy, I am not hating it.
The cast is great, it is beautifully shot and the characters aren’t horrible people so there’s hope

Voted. Walked to the advance polls, because today’s weather is just a taste of how it is going to change soon, so I wanted to get in the walks while I can.
