Get on a bike. Put on a mask. Do a silly dance. Think Winnipeg thoughts.
Well, I don't own an oil field or an AI company. And I like protecting the environment, health care, science, government services, and vulnerable people, so I'm expecting it to be a hard kick to my shins
Winnipeg Free Press@winnipegfreepress.com · last wk.OTTAWA – Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne says Thursday’s federal budget is about giving Canada a “strong footing” to navigate a more volatile world.
I admire how all the Alaskans resisted the urge to write-in the name of a secret, third Dan Sullivan. Because that would tempt me...
Polite Yet Ultimately Malevolent Mailman@usps.bsky.social · last wk.I need this race to stay within the Sullivan Margin Of Error more than I need oxygen
I've seen enough Survivor to know that they are going to throw the immunity challenge just so they can vote out John Fetterman next
I love democracy (except for the democracy that meant I'm having to stay up an hour later to watch these election results)
Seems like Trump's options are: 1. Start dropping nukes 2. Keep "winning" by switching teams 3. Absolute and utter misery for the next 2 years
Holy shit? Susan Collins allegedly conceded? VERY CONCERNING!
Kate@rin-doodles.bsky.social · last wk.Is it greedy if I'm getting annoyed that we aren't hearing more about Susan Collins' race?
The US should invent a secret third chamber for Democrats to also control, as a treat
Imagine if Alberta had voted to separate a couple of weeks back. They'd all be turned trans by Texan democrats.
This is all a thrill and all, but also pretty disturbing that things have gotten so bad. So bad meaning that doctors and firefighters are winning elections against fascists, racists, Nazis, nepo babies, criminals, pedos etc 52% to 48% and team blue is on cloud 9.
Is it greedy if I'm getting annoyed that we aren't hearing more about Susan Collins' race?
Rachel Maddow is like a cousin who moved in with my family for a couple of years during high school and now I only see her every 2-4 years or so. She seems a lot happier than last time, so that's nice to see.
But does anyone know if Annie Andrews has any siblings with no experience?
When you hear "lean dem", do you think a) lean as slightly tilting to one side b) lean as in ground beef with less fat c) why is MS NOW still calling it lean when everyone else is saying projected winner?
I spent a month prepping my company for our new time zone and all I got was increased seasonal depression
I've spent the last month explaining to staff this new time zone is going to cause problems. Weeks trying to explain Manitoba to American vendors. Days pushing patches and writing automation scripts. I just had to update my thermostat to "Toronto" time because no Bogota option. Too far!!

Too lazy to do it myself, but I'm curious about how many years the average age of Winnipeg councillors has now dropped - because I feel like it is at least a couple
No one is ever going to speak of this, but Drunk Jesus seems to have outperformed expectations by coming in 6th and beating some really familiar names

Huh.. so all four members of the Public Works committee are no longer on council. And I'm still getting almost run over on the daily on Wellington Crescent. Great legacy.

Apparently CTV is not doing election coverage tonight and is only airing Amazing Race (not a joke)
So...ummm...a famous person just reposted something I wrote that starts with "Unpopular opinion" and goes on to mention effects of long covid. To my actual peeps - I hope I don't have go invisible or whatever and miss getting drunk and posting about the electoral returns tomorrow!
Unpopular opinion, but I think much more has to do with the prevalence of exhaustion, brain fog, and cognitive decline thanks to repeated covid infections
Karen Attiah@karenattiah.bsky.social · 2w agoAs much as chatbots pose real risks in myriad ways, I don't think LLMs would have been adopted/pushed so fast without years of COVID isolation. People seem legitimately meaner now. And hell, I still deal with some social anxiety I didn't have pre-COVID lockdown.
If there was an episode of Veep where Selina Meyer broke the star QB's good luck charm on the day of the Super Bowl and then the team lost, she still would have gotten a warmer reception because it wouldn't have been believable otherwise - even for comedy. That's where we are at.
