Harvard academic rockstar/dinosaur with a history of sexist comments is whining to Epstein about being friendzoned (while married); throws in racist nickname for good measure. Academia has far too many of these old male profs with metastasized egos and no empathy.

Also the air quotes around “BLOW UP”. And the helpful parenthetical explainer: VOTER ID means IDENTIFICATION.

This is gross & infantile but I’m most concerned abt how this crap is received by Americans esp young adults w no memory of what sane leadership looks like.
If asshole hijinks is what you associate with “being president”, can you be persuaded to vote for s/o who’s worthy but boring & not funny?

… and @aircanada.bsky.social says they can’t figure out how to issue the refund they promised (although they had no trouble taking payment in the first place); they want me to spend more time on the phone with Aeroplan. Not satisfactory. Air Canada created this problem, Air Canada needs to fix it.

Just got reply on X from @aircanada.bsky.social asking for booking info. I sent dm with all details. Will Air Canada finally refund me as promised? Stay tuned.

Matthews is aligned with Tim Cartmell’s mini-UCP, Salvador has been a big disappointment on safety + sucking up to private real estate developers, and Dalel appears to be a nonentity with no endorsements and a really AI-ish campaign website, so I guess I’m … writing in some random name.

Bleah, campaigning with Kerry Diotte pretty much says it all. So his campaign is all about “pragmatic fiscal tightfistedness”, not really about “make Edmonton better for everyone including people w/o a lot of money of property”. Too bad, I like his coffee shop.

Yeah, I saw this. The rationale seems to be “we have to give the Oilers $138 million for giant sports playpen right now bc if we don’t we’ll miss this opportunity to give the Oilers $138 million for giant sports playpen!”. Meanwhile #yegdt looks like a bomb site except with parking lots.

I’m Canadian. What is this protest about? ICE? Trans rights? I tried zooming in on the placards but they’re too blurry to read.

This isn’t quite … a denunciation of queer-targeted book bans. I mean yes it’s a really stupid priority when a strike is imminent, but even if there were perfect labour peace, it would still be wrong to ban books like this. Come on @albertandp.ca, you know what to do.
