(Opens AB government-provided education toolkit for Kindergartner) Huh... it's just oil + gas pamphlets, QR codes to the Alberta Next videos, hockey tickets from an S. Mraiche, and a visual step-by-step guide titled "How to Spank Your Kids". #AbEd #abpoli #IStandWithTeachers

With the labelling of #bluesky as an #echochamber, I find myself once again reminded of the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory, #pennyarcade in 2004 (shit I'm old). Twitter(X) rewarded antagonism. If echo chamber means "place where people are less shitty and there are repercussions", then sign me up

This obsession is unhealthy. Our horizons are fine. Also social media, for most, is not a job. It is not school. It is socializing. And it’s fine to say “I don’t want to hang out with Nazis, homophobes, transphobes etc in my free time.”
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

For decades, Western politicians have told you: if we want to beat Russia & China, we need to focus on science, technology, engineering, and medicine (STEM).
Turns out, civics (social sciences and humanities) were bulwarks of democracy.

Bluesky right now feels a little like all the Whos gathering to sing after the Grinch stole their floofloovers and jingtinglers.
