@paulbrandt What in the dumbfuckery is this

@WSOnlineNews @JamesWestgateSn Ha! You got schooled.

WS' @JamesWestgateSn asks Carney if he will reimburse taxpayers for his pricey flight to Europe. Carney: *Fails to address the query* Snell: "I'll take that as a no then." Carney: "No, you'll take that as a very comprehensive answer to your question."

@SkipIsChris doesn’t ring a bell

@TheRealKeean You lead the most fascinating & saddest life.

UPDATE: I waited 3 hours outside of a restaurant to ask Justin Trudeau about his Climate Minister serving on a Communist Chinese committee, and his RCMP detail just pushed me into traffic when they realized I wasn't with the CBC. Unacceptable behavior.

@john_eric1969 @KanadastanRebel She dared speak out against the Premier through song.

You were the one hating in the public eye. You don't get to play victim now. You like to Dish it but don't like when it comes back to you huh? Typical

@KanadastanRebel It’s not bigotry you entitled twat.

@aylabrook You condone bigotry? Or just when its "your kind" , then it's ok, right?.

@KanadastanRebel @mariel_buckley My favourite thing about this app is anonymous accounts calling out actual people. It’s so very brave.

Since @mariel_buckley likes to insult members of the audience and conservatives during #EFMF, it's a good time to remind her of something, before she starts whining about starving artists not getting public money. Enjoy your mediocre career remembered by nobody

@DeAiDave @ABDanielleSmith Dear lord dave this isn’t even a Wendy’s

Copied from a thread I saw before. Try firing 75% of the bureaucracy first and see how the province improves. According to the NDP that is only 250 people so it should have no impact. >>> Elon Musk fired 6,500 employees at Twitter. A little birdie told me it's down to: - 2 designers - 6 iOS developers - 20 web developers - Around 1,400 sales and operations people How is it possible that we are still using this website? Two words: Parkinson's Law. Have you ever wondered why seemingly simple tech companies have tens of thousands of employees? Sometimes, it's because they have huge sales forces or tech support/operations people. But often it's also due to Parkinson's Law. Parkinson's law is like lighter fluid for bureaucracy. It's a business tapeworm that slowly eats away at companies, making them less and less efficient and innovative over time. Parkinson's Law is the idea that the work will generally expand to the amount of time, budget, and number of people allocated to it, and no matter how many people you allocate to it, those people will feel busy. They'll feel busy because, due to the excess time/slack in the system, they'll start focusing on less and less important tasks. Here's how it manifests on an individual level: Let's say you have a report due in a week. The report might only take you around five hours to finish if you really focus and work efficiently. However, because you know you have a week to complete it, you might find yourself spending a lot more time on it than you need to. You'll be more prone to distractions, take longer breaks, or perhaps decide to add more details, tables, graphs, and so forth. Essentially, the task becomes more complex and time-consuming purely because you have more time in which to do it. And here's how it manifests across organizations: Imagine a big tech company. A social media company with various departments. Each department has tasks that it must complete to contribute to the overall productivity of the company. Now, suppose each department is given a budget and a set amount of time to complete its tasks for the year. According to Parkinson's Law, each department will use its entire budget and the entire allotted time, even if the tasks could have been completed more efficiently. This is because as resources and time increase, departments tend to become more complex and less efficient. For example, a department might add more steps to its procedures, requiring more approvals and creating more paperwork, which slows down the process. Or it might use the full budget on additional personnel or equipment that doesn't necessarily improve productivity. The department might also use the full budget to justify the same or larger budget for the next year, since budgets in many organizations are often determined based on the previous year's spending. This is a phenomenon known as "budget padding" or "spend it or lose it" mentality. Inefficiencies can also develop in staff allocation. If a department expands, it might add managerial positions that aren't strictly necessary. More employees are hired to manage, creating layers of bureaucracy that may not contribute to productivity and can even slow decision-making. I have seen this occur over and over again in my career. The larger the team, the larger the budget, the longer the timeline, the less gets accomplished. I'm very curious to see how many more tech companies come to this realization. So often, good times + revenue growth = Parkinson's Law.

Albertans deserve to have a driver training program that's easy and efficient. By automatically promoting responsible drivers out of the GDL program, Alberta drivers will save about $150. #abpoli #ableg

@sullie72 @SkipIsChris Ok fine.

Next Saturday! We’re at the Legislature for their July 1st event with pals Brasstactics, Dungarees & Celeigh Cardinal. 1-2pm. Free! Let’s do it.

Hey folks. News coming. It’s good. And it’s about shows. And they’re free shows.

@ABDanielleSmith Oh hi. dailyhive.com/calgary/jennif…

June marks Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈 Everyone deserves to feel safe, welcomed, and respected in our province. And although Albertans are exceptionally inclusive and kind, there is still more work to do. That’s why we will continue to listen to 2SLGBTQIA+ Albertan’s concerns and find ways to strengthen our relationships through dialogue and tangible action. Every one of us should do what we can to build a province where all people are treated and accepted with love and understanding. #pride #ableg #abpoli

@CoryBMorgan @the_pauls_pizza Endorsement from one of Alberta’s worst people. You guys are killing it.

Welcome to my favorite social media playground Farouk. Hope you have some fun. :-) @the_pauls_pizza

@the_gunnshow @SkipIsChris @brentoliver Fine. We in.

@Edmonton_Eh @ABDanielleSmith @RachelNotley @JustinTrudeau She has a team of social media “experts” sending out this drivel. Which, might even be worse.

Another example of the NDP-Liberal coalition's plan to "Just Transition" Alberta's economy 👇 #cdnpoli #abpoli #ableg

@JamieSale Totally agree. We need to take care of our least fortunate. Socialism is the only answer.

“Justinflation" is running its path & with soaring food costs & taxes, the poor are talking to food banks about "taking their own lives (thru MAID - Medical Assistance In Dying) because it's too hard to be poor any longer." 😞🤬#crimesagainsthumanity
