My Canadian Travels: The Swan Hills Wilderness Sculpture
Made of 20,000 small pieces of steel, it took 503 hours for Kevin Oracheski to construct.

I'm making videos of my travels, so if you enjoy these videos, please give them a share to help spread the word!

The radical belief that it’s okay for a website to prioritize quality over size, maybe even good.
The premise of this article — that Bluesky needs hypergrowth — is exactly the problem.

The idea that internet companies should grow infinitely and monopolize their space, fattened on VC cash driven by optimistic valuations, is exactly what ruined the internet. www.piratewires.com/p/bluesky-is...

Firing the BLS Commissioner — the wonk in charge of the statisticians who track economic reality — is an authoritarian four alarm fire.

It will also backfire: You can't bend economic reality, but you can break the trust of markets. And biased data yields worse policy.

The Conservatives have driven anti-vaxx hysteria.
Pierre Poilievre has pushed legislation against mandatory vaccinations.
No wonder measles is out of control in MAGA-MAPLE Alberta.
So now the Conservative gaslighting machine is saying blame Trudeau.
Kids lives are on the line.

I would very much like it if #cdnmedia would ask Poilievre about his security clearance, or lack thereof, while they're giving him all this air time

He's keen to get all the media time he can now he lost the campaign, so maybe it's time for journalists to do their jobs

The Canadian Armed Forces is making headlines. But not, as they probably hoped, for the renewed recruiting efforts they’re about to launch.

Instead, they are once again confounded by a far-right scandal. 🚨 Three experts explain. #canpoli
