Today’s #Yardbug nearly gave me a heart attack when she unexpectedly landed beside me on the deck - but she’s just a moth. An enormous, terrifying, harmless moth.

It might interject money, but pretty sure I'll be paying higher electricity rates, not to mention the environmental costs. #ableg #abpoli

Getting tough to avoid the conclusion that what corporations, almost all the premiers, and the federal government want is to eradicate First Nations, the Treaties, and the constitution so they can extract and pollute unfettered and every living thing can go fuck themselves.

Earlier this week, the Nova Scotia premier visited his fifth town during his chamber of commerce tour, where Mi’kmaw land protectors rallied outside the event to speak with him about the province exploring resource extraction and the duty to consult.

The Red Sox broadcast booth is all women tonight for Women's Celebration Night, and while I love it and they're killing it, I want to see this on the regular and not for one specific purpose. I just love watching smart women talk about sports! Put more of them in booths, damnit!

“Once AI has ‘squeezed out’ all the expert data from humans, it won’t need any more input from humanity. That is the time AIs will start just self-evolving by themselves. Right now, the human is the bottleneck.”

media when maga wins an election: we must travel the country and speak to these voters and extend empathy to them and give credence to their bigotry and false beliefs media when the left wins an election: is this the end of the american experiment

Dr. Abdul El Sayed, Melat Kiros and Darializa Avila Chevalier (the latter two are PhD candidates) examples of academics who successfully went out of the ivory tower and talked to regular people and resonated with them. but you'll never hear of this as an example of higher ed being engaged.

I saw a video by a guy who records himself collecting scrap metal at roadsides. Apparently, he misidentifies items he finds because people angrily correcting him in the comments drives up engagement & thus monetization. It's a mild example & I'm not mad at the guy. But it is illuminating.

I love you all but you are incredibly (understandably) reactive. It’s making you SO easily manipulated by rage baiters. When you see something without context, a headline or a snippet of a quote, take a deep breath and look into it to see if you really should be upset. Please protect your hearts.

To be fair to the original poster, she did verify with Elections Alberta that her initial reaction was incorrect.

Disinformation alert: While "mail-in ballots" are prohibited this fall, voting by "Special Ballot" is allowed. The OC states that the process "does not prevent advance voting... or voting by a Special Ballot..." "Special Ballot" is simply another term for voting by mail.

We don't have to accept harmful tech and try to mitigate the damage via tepid legislation. We can ban it. It's maddening our governments treat this stuff as a natural force beyond their control.
