I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

I mean, this is great EXCEPT Nenshi isn’t actually doing anything that will actually defeat this horrifying government…
Nenshi: "In Alberta, we are facing a particularly horrifying government, a government that is malicious, that is incompetent and that is corrupt, to be very blunt," Nenshi said in an interview with CBC News.
This is the most interesting subplot in the federal NDP leadership race — whether the federal party and its provincial cousins can get on the same page.

Alberta is “the first province to legislate two‑tier health care and private health insurance for medically necessary services,” warning it could mark “the end of Canadian medicare as we know it” if other provinces follow. @alonghurst.bsky.social @reecca.bsky.social www.hcamag.com/ca/specializ...
Alberta’s ‘two‑tier health‑care law’ should concern employers: report
Move could have implications for future benefit design, regional disparities in access to care and long‑term workforce health costs

Essentially, the "it's okay to be thin" opinion pieces aren't about giving people permission to feel how they feel about their bodies. They're about reassuring people that their desire to be thin isn't the result of a profound, ubiquitous cultural bias against fatness & bigotry toward fat people.

Endless cuts and privatization is what's hurting healthcare.
Blaming it on refugees is just inviting more dehumanization and violence towards vulnerable communities.

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”

This, plus the collapse of mainstream news, is going to destroy so many brains.
Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.
This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

Canadians, we must demand Safe Third Country repeal now!
1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature.
It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money.
The House is voting on it today.
