I knew that this day was coming. The UCP had been warning for months that they were going to take away the rights of transgender people (not just children but adults too). I thought I was prepared. But I am still very angry that it has happened.

Here's a fun column! Carsten Lund Pedersen uses #AI to create a kind of career advisory panel. Panelists include digital simulacra of Einstein, Bohr, Feynman, and on one memorable occasion, Bond author Ian Fleming. Here's how he did it.

I have been calling Danielle Smith's office once a week with my polite feedback. Does this achieve anything? IDK. But it makes me feel better.

That’s what it cost our family for my wife to be on strike for the past 3 weeks. We’re lucky. We can afford it. But knowing that after all that time and money, the only thing that’s changed is she and 50K of her fellow teachers have fewer rights than they did before? It doesn’t feel great.

I began writing this story with a naive question in mind: What do we lose when public education is privatized? A lot, actually.
By following the MAGA playbook, the UCP’s push against public education not only undermines democracy, it jeopardizes the possibility of a better future for all Albertans.
