when your plans to suckle at the fascist teat of the Trump Administration fail because you *checks notes* forgot Canada exists
Bari Weiss is so incompetent at leading CBS News that her efforts at fully suppressing the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT was foiled because she wasn't aware (or forgot) that the broadcast package including that segment was distributed via a streaming app for broadcast in Canada.

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.

It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.

The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

The 8-hour work day was not ordained from above for all time. It was dreamed up by humans.

It doesn't make sense for every person, every job, or every organization.

We can be as productive and creative in 6 focused hours as in 8 unfocused hours.

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

As a judge shot down Alberta separatists’ referendum bid, Danielle Smith gov raced to give them a second chance.
Now they’re confident Albertans will vote on leaving Canada this fall, after UCP’s legislative boost.

It’s been frustrating as a journalist, and a member of the public, to watch as publicly available data on the health-care system has dwindled over the years.

The auditor general now says the Alberta government is changing internal metrics and selectively using data to hide problems:

Too many mediocre men talk over capable women.

Study of problem-solving teams: Men dominate the conversation, taking 50% more turns and saying 69% more than women. Men with low skill speak more than women with high skill.

It's long past time to value competence over confidence.

For first time, Danielle Smith’s UCP base lost their temper with her. The separatists aren’t going away, so it may not be the last time. My piece from the Edmonton convention:

The premier goes pro-Ottawa as base moves in opposite direction. But she also scored some points at her party's annual meeting.

This is something I look fwd to every year! 👇
It's amusing how important the Headline of the Year contest has become to my internal sense of the course of the year.

I mean, it's not a particularly big part, to be fair, but the fact that it's more than none at all is quite fun.

Alberta has collected more than $1 billion in cannabis revenue.

That's the most, per capita, of all provinces and territories.

By far.

It's nearly quadruple what Quebec has collected, per person.

One of the reasons I love live call-in radio shows is for moments like this.

Poor Richard thought he was talking to a call screener.

He was actually talking live on air to Alberta At Noon host @kathleenpetty.bsky.social, who gently and professionally nudged him toward that realization.

In 2001, Alberta got 80% of its electricity from coal.

In 2015, the province announced coal power would be phased out by 2030.

In 2024, the last coal plant shut down, six years ahead of schedule.

In 2025, Alberta's premier is musing about bringing coal power back.
