We Don’t Remember Anyone Telling Us That Covid Can Damage Your Memory.

We've been warning about this collapse for sometime.. read this thread to understand how bad it truly is.

this is exactly what white rich men with privilege and a huge cis male following should be doing I will love will ferrell forever

This is my semi-annual post to say that text and link-based social media activity is much better on other sites these days. See you on Bluesky, Mastodon and Threads!

Twitter was good. X is a joke. A white supremacist, transphobic, anti-science, misinformation joke. Advertisers are rightly and smartly taking their money elsewhere. wired.com/story/elon-mus…

"Right now is not the time to politicize Jasper or talk about climate change" has a real "after a mass school shooting is not the time to talk about gun control" vibe.

The jasper widfires are gutting AND I'm begging #ableg to get past the "thoughts and prayers" phase of wildfire commentary and onto naming names and taking action. Not linking this to climate change and fossil fuels IS politicizing tragedy.

The Democratic Party has been plunged into unknown territory: enthusiasm!

The revelations about multiple ministers, staff members, and the Premier herself attending playoff hockey games on lobbyists’ dimes should come as no surprise to Albertans given the level of cronyism shown by this government. Last year, the Premier complained publicly that she wasn’t allowed to go to hockey games with lobbyists and proceeded to change the rules so that she could. So, it’s no surprise that her staff went to a game paid for by the company she awarded the nearly $100 million failed Turkish Tylenol scheme. The whole point of the original ethics rules was to make sure that any gifts were reasonable and modest and that they were publicly disclosed as well as to ensure that no one can buy hours of uninterrupted access to politicians and staff. The changes the Premier made to those rules disregard all these principles, leaving the impression that government can be bought by anyone. Having ministers and staff sit in lobbyists’ luxury boxes while we are facing an affordability crisis in this province not only looks bad, it shows they’re living in a different world than the average Albertan. At the very least, the Premier must now: ➡️disclose all staff and politicians who have accepted tickets and from whom, as well as who paid for all travel. ➡️commit to an all-party process to strengthen ethics rules and disclosures, including removing the carte blanche for the Premier’s Chief of Staff to approve any gift of any amount. ➡️finally give us a full accounting of the Turkish Tylenol fiasco, including which lobbyists met with which politicians and staff.

President has Covid, Second Gentleman has Covid, LA mayor has Covid, hospitals having Covid outbreaks, Covid wards reopening. But also Covid is over? But also it’s not going away? Of course we should do nothing about it!

The vax & relax left invited this and disabled and high risk people (including poor and working class BIPOC) will always pay the price for leftist magical thinking and entitlement to comfort.

Congratulations to Naheed Nenshi, the new leader of the Alberta NDP! 🎉

Truly baffling and depressing that media organizations have learned nothing from the past decade of being used and deceived by the likes of Google and Facebook.
