This was a mall in Edmonton we'd go to on family trips there in the early 90's. Now it's little more than a strip mall. We were kings, once.

Journalist across three provinces (BC, Alberta, Ontario) in my small newsroom @pressprogress.ca alone are sick/have friends and relatives who are sick this week.

Is this you folks as well?

If yes, do you have a COVID rapid test/are you testing anymore?

Don’t think you got the right picture on your spam account

Some journalists simply report the news

At Canada's National Post, they do more than report the news – they also send people weird emails

I like how the child actor that plays Egg spoiled a major detail off the cuff in an interview about how the Dunk and Egg saga ends. Something that GRRM hasn't written yet, but told him. Good kid

Of all the shitty comedy guys out there, I'm pretty sure I hate Jerry Seinfeld the most

That tracks for them

I wanted to say that I really appreciate all of the kind words, support and shares around this story and this week in general ❤️

This is a tough thing to announce. My trivia team "Smooth by Carlos San TRIVIA (Feat. Rob Thomas)" lost by exactly 1 point because my friend and team mate, in his infinite wisdom, went rogue and changed one of my obviously correct answers to something else.

I’d actually trust my data more with a Chinese server though?

Old bubble bursting, new one struggling to be born. Now is the time for MOON!

Seriously, surely not even the dumbest Elon simps could believe this right?...right?

Where would they get the steel? Nevermind, that's not important. SHHHHHHH

They're literally trying to sell us the moon now, as the next bubble

They think we're all rubes

They're outside a spoons, the notoriously tacky chain pub. It's like their equivalent of Boston Pizza

In the run-up to the last Alberta election, an Edmonton Journal columnist gave the major parties an "F" on their healthcare policies, saying they should turn to the ideas of Dr. Peter Attia instead.

"Will the UCP or NDP take up the challenge of turning Attia’s Medicine 3.0 into systemic change?"

The Canadian-American Health Influencer Who Hung Out with Jeffrey Epstein Epstein considered Dr. Peter Attia a 'valuable friend' and offered to pay to be his client; Attia maintains that their interactions 'had nothing to do with his sexual abuse or exploitation of anyone'

Meet the Canadian-American health influencer who hung out with Jeffrey Epstein:

Alberta government hiding additional drug jail plans Newly obtained documents reveal a hidden plan to build a drug jail in Grande Prairie, raising questions about how many additional facilities are in the works.

The Alberta government has repeatedly insisted that its drug jails (“secure care” Compassionate Intervention facilities) will be only a measure of last resort.

But this finding suggests they have bigger plans — apparently, space for 300 adults won’t be enough.

Jeet Heer @HeerJeet: For whatever neurodivergent reason, Musk is incapable of talking in code and innuendo, which makes his exchanges with Epstein interesting. In this case, the dialogue went something like this: Epstein: do you want to come over to my place for a party, I'll have many interesting people during UN general assembly Musk: (taking Epstein literally) not interested in meeting diplomats, too busy. Epstein: do you think I am retarded? Just kidding. There is no one over 25 and all very cute.

Cross-posting this comment from Jeet Heer over on Twitter. It really is kind of funny that Musk is just totally unable to pick up on code and innuendo.

The Internet, our home, is beginning to look like an immense pile of filth.

I watched this as a kid, I didn’t realize it was an investigative procedural on par with All the Presidents Men. Turturro and Feinnes are insanely good in this

Now watching Quiz Show (1994)

Won at pub trivia again after not playing in awhile. I’m quite sure (with a good team) I can destroy god
