Mood in Canada right now is one of rightful indignation.

Sadly, barely paying lip service to reality without doing anything to fix the problem is actually an improvement from the blatant denial and factionalized finger-pointing that has characterized much of the current climate discourse on the Republican side in the US Federal politics.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I don’t see it happening outside of an election loss for her. As for Alberta doing things β€œtheir own way”, they have a history of this kind of behaviour. It usually results in extracting some sort of concessions from the Federal government.

TikTok: Trump will 'put measures in place' to stop ban, adviser says Incoming National Security Adviser Mike Waltz says the law allows a 90-day grace period for the app's Chinese owner.

Sounds very much like Trump is running a protection racket. I wonder what he will get in return from TikTok.

Yeah don’t give them any ideas. Or, at the very least, make them pay for your ideas

Thinking about this somehow makes it even less clear. Which god? How do we know it was chosen? What the fuck does it do? Is it enchanted or something? Why does science need to perfect god? Is god imperfect? Did he/she/it make the wrong choice so science had to step in? So many questions…

Somehow I have even more questions now.

Nothing that PR and marketing can’t sort out.

It’s the former.

I’m pretty sure I still have stains on my counter from it from a year ago.

It’s called current affairs and it’s depressing.

Pretty amazing, all things considered.

Being a lawyer, this is kinda hard to watch without getting a little flustered.

Is this invite only? Or is there an excel spreadsheet somewhere I can put my name on?

Thank you for your reply. I’m looking into Seestar products as I type this. Appreciate the help.

So wait, is the finding of guilt of the person on trial the experimental condition?

Biden is getting the Jimmy Carter treatment.

Sadly, advertisers will advertise so long as it makes them money. So long as there is no real impact on their bottom line, they will not budge.

I’m pretty sure they’ll be rolling in their grave before they do that. Maybe with one exception.

Just do it.

You must consult the ancient scrolls

Wait. You’re telling me that we humans are not all descendants of one single family who lived some 5000 years ago? And that earth’s geological record does not show a global flood? And that there places and things older than the flood on earth? No way!

I almost stepped on one of these little guys when I hiked the Grand Canyon some 20 years ago. I never knew I could move so fast in 40 degree heat.

Let me adjust my monocle… Ok, you may now proceed.
