Well, we're off to the races.
I am among the proud Albertans and Canadians behind votetostay.ca.
We are going to work relentlessly, every day, to ensure Alberta remains strong and prosperous within a united Canada.
We are eager to share more with you all in the coming days and weeks. For now, click the link below. 👇

@SeanTrende Well said, sir. Blessings on Judson, and on you all.

I almost hesitate to promote this, because it wasn't really intended to be a piece. I just sort of sat down and it came out. Maybe someone else out there has the same type of day today, and it'll speak to them.

@CarrieTait I’m optimistic a meteor will hit and put us all out of our collective misery

We're all gonna drown in the undercurrents at this year's Stampede parties.

Rule of thumb: Alberta will always -- always -- land on the option that produces maximum chaos.

The local elections in one chart. Labour has been squeezed between the Greens in young wards and Reform in older working-class wards

Everybody is an NDP schill!!!! (sic)

@CoryBMorgan You are an NDP schill. Fuck off.

He's going to be really upset when he finds out that the proposed Bridger Pipeline goes through Saskatchewan before crossing into the US. All the smartest people.

COVID vaccine revealed to be 55x more fatal than the flu vaccine, claims Ron Johnson.

@WeaponScientist Everything about this screams "future cautionary tale".

An outright theft of taxpayer money.
What is the virtue of a frigate that is simultaneously incapable of ASuW, ASW, AAW, or BMD?
Virtual Bayonet@VirtualBayonet
FF(X) frigate procurements are one in FY27, one in FY 29, and 2 in FY 31, with an eventual 22 total. Flight I will consist of "at least" the first 2 ships, Flight II Preliminary Design seems to start in FY27. Flight II will consider VLS and ASW capabilities. USN budget info.

@Anthony__Koch Come now, clearly the solution for conservative values is to run a campaign that makes Wyatt perfectly happy - and thus spares us the trouble of winning enough seats for official party status.

I am literally a pro-life gun owner man.
Holy fuck.
Wyatt Claypool@wyatt_claypool
The argument he makes that this was just about campaigning too much in Western riding is wrong. All the Blue Liberals in 2021 knew what they meant by this at the time. Evangelicals, pro-lifers, gun owners, etc, can be ignored in favour of the mythical moderate voters in the GTA

This Sabres team and its fans are everything pure and right about hockey.
Reminds me of a simpler time before my team crushed my soul.

An optimist and a pessimist sit at a bar. The pessimist notes that the glass in front of him is half full.
The optimist says: "soon it will be empty."

Vance's speech in Budapest is truly outrageous: 1. The US vice president campaigns for an enemy of the EU & NATO, but a friend of Putin & China. 2. Vance attacks the EU for pressuring Hungary, but Hungary has received net about 3% of GDP a year from the EU, but it has squandered much on corruption. 3. In effect, Vance argues that the EU should promote corruption just as the Trump administration does. Trump and Vance fight freedom and the rule of law in favor of autocracy, kleptocracy and Russia. US foreign policy has hit the bottom.

To the Moon! Godspeed Artemis II and the four astronauts aboard, and good work to the cast of thousands who have sent them on their way.

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

“I want to hug my daughter. That’s what I survived for.”
Meet Yaroslav, callsign ‘Mudryi’ - The Wise One.
A few days ago he came back from holding the line for 86 straight days in Sumy region, alongside his brother-in-arms ‘Gnom’.
Before the war, he was a sculptor and painter. On February 24, 2022, he enlisted. He repairs drones directly on position. He writes poetry between missions.
When asked what keeps him going he just said ‘My daughter motivates me. I know where my place is. I am where I belong.’
This is who is defending Ukraine.

@RealCynicalFox - Wilson "Destructive Creation" on US industry
- Ernest May "Strange Victory" on the German attack on France in 1940
- Robert Doughty "Seeds of Disaster" on French doctrine 1919-39 was informative to me
- Terry Copp "Fields of Fire" and Cinderella Army" on the Canadians

Every now and then, one of you guys ask a BIG question. It’d be impossible to list all the books I’ve found helpful in understanding the Second World War, so I’ll direct you to a few authors instead.
In no particular order:
Rick Atkinson, especially his Liberation Trilogy.
Max Hastings
Robert Forczyk
Robert J. Kershaw
James D. Hornfischer
Antony Beevor
William Shirer, though he was a journalist, not a historian, and it sometimes shows in his work.
Winston Churchill
Any of the first hand accounts published by veterans, Eugene Sledge’s “With the Old Breed” & Charles B. MacDonald’s “Company Commander” are particularly worthwhile.
Maj.Gen. Michael Reynolds did (among other things) several books on the I & II SS Panzer Corps I found instructive.
That should be enough to start you off and it’s by no means all-encompassing. I’m sure I’ve missed a few favorites that will occur to me immediately after I post this.

@RealCynicalFox which ww2 books do you recommend?
