There was a time I was seeking higher-paying jobs in public service, media, etc. I had a lot of nibbles, and at Christmas 2023, was offered a government job.
I was overcome with panic as I considered taking it. It was what I wanted. I could "feel" more important, make a bit more.

Carney’s deal with Danielle Smith is the sellout of the century: scrapping climate legislation for a pipeline that will never be built.
We need powerlines, not pipelines. Our path is through climate leadership & building good jobs in the clean economy.

I went shopping after acupuncture earlier & in the produce section, dude turns to me & goes, “Have you TRIED these?”
He’s hYlding a parsnip. I’m like… “yes? Not lately?”
And he’s just so PSYCHED because he had his first parsnip the night before & loved it.
So, I got a parsnip for stew tomorrow.

My cold-oven turkey recipe really is the best and you should all make it next year :)
I took your advice on the turkey recipe. I've cooked some really good ones but this one is by far the best. Crispy skin, juicy meat, extremely flavorful. Won't look back.

Honestly. I rant constantly about the 51st state thing, but I do not expect USA folks to have it as a major priority in terms of things they have to be angry about and demand action from their government on.
That any Canadian thinks it should be an American's top priority right now is ludicrous.

Something that is easy to forget in all the "Carney is a political genius / Carney is a political naif" argle bargle is that climate policies matter. Environmental regulations matter. Getting rid of them may or may not achieve a political end — but it's guaranteed to have real-world implications.

Lots of ppl talking about how this is 4d chess, and just a way to get concessions from AB and let the failure of any pipeline fall solely on Smith's shoulders. Even if that's true, and that's a mighty big if, we need to talk about how shitty and unseemly it is for our PM to play games like this.
Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

I'm USian but also Canadian, so there may be some outside influence there, but still. I think that's why I like USian. it actually feels more neutral to me than 'murican, like there are people who exist there that actually aren't MAGA.

A surprise to nobody who regularly walks or cycles. The speeding and running of red lights and stop signs is nuts. I'm not talking about running a blushing yellow light. People are running full on reds constantly on my daily walks to work.

The more damning, and likely more accurate, moral of the Nuzzi set piece is that this is the business model of Olivia Nuzzi’s public career—together with the bloated and corrupt enterprise of Beltway journalism writ large.
