“A lot of people worked for a long time to achieve that measles elimination status, and to lose it in one year because of a failure of government action … for a disease that’s totally preventable, it just makes me sad."

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.
Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Beware of any politician doing this. It’s a major red flag of the most cynical political opportunism, weaponization of lies & misinformation, and manipulation of some consultant’s idea of a “wedge issue.” It would waste public money, risk or even cost lives, weaken the city, make traffic worse, etc.
Current Mayor of Christchurch New Zealand Phil Mauger is campaigning for reelection on basis of ripping out bike lanes! This for a city that used to be famous for cycle friendly infrastructure before earthquakes of 2010 and 2011!

@maxrushden Check out “Mike Birbiglia: The New One” on Netflix. Your comments on parenting and his comedy are weirdly aligned.

@maxrushden.bsky.social can we please stop pretending football didn’t exist before the premier league! E.g. ManU’s lowest Premier League points total. Would love to know the last top flight season ManU was this bad.
Would love to hear “top flight” replace “Premier League” in more podcasts.

Hey Alberta! Our Premier was in Florida yesterday fundraising with guy who thinks the idea of Canada as a sovereign nation is "silly" and that America should "liberate" us from our actual independence.
Danielle Smith is a traitor and she needs to resign.

NEW: A couple days ago, Breakdown host Nate Pike announced that he was being court ordered to wipe the Alberta politics show from the web as part of a libel lawsuit from a well-connected Alberta businessman.
This development should concern all journalists.
