Musk has been retweeting prominent race scientist adherents, spreading misinformation about racial minorities’ intelligence and physiology to his 176+ million followers.

Musk is amplifying users who will incorporate cherry-picked data and misleading graphs into their argument as to why people of European descent are biologically superior, giving fringe accounts like i/o a drastic jump in followers. The i/o account has even thanked Musk for raising “awareness” last year.

'Diversity, equity, and inclusion (usually abbreviated DEI) are organizational frameworks which seek to promote "the fair treatment and full participation of all people", particularly groups "who have historically been underrepresented or subject to discrimination" on the basis of identity or disability.'

Anti-women policies (ie, forced pregnancy) will always bite them back.

omg, on today's list of the most unusable UI... See how there's a space between the menu and the submenu? Well, it's not just visual. If you try to move the cursor from one menu to the other, it falls in the space and the menus disappear. -_-

EDIT: After many tries, I finally got to the submenu item. I guess I whooshed the cursor over fast enough for it to stay up?

2nd EDIT: ...and, I can't manage to do it again.

And Poilievre's lapdogs in Alberta are trying to get rid of CPP altogether for us, and force us to "invest" (read: give away) all of our hard-earned savings into oil pipeline losses with AIMCo instead.

"What is happening at Boeing is happening in every industry. A general trend toward financialisation & hedge fund culture that sees only numbers, not peoples lives or wellbeing. It's just that aviation has a way of making the corruption impossible to hide. It's the dead canary." - Ben King

"In 1976, Hawaii was the last state to lift requirements that a woman take her husband’s last name. If a woman didn’t take her husband’s last name, employers could refuse to issue her payroll and she could be barred from voting."

No doubt a difficult decision, but a good one! Pancholi is an excellent candidate, and would make an excellent leader, but Nenshi is the one who would bring votes from outside the NDP, and bolster numbers for the next Provincial election. That is what we need more than ever, to bring back Government to Alberta.

“People here tell us that the men who were inside the building were paramedics, volunteers and university students, all in their early 20s. They were helping the people in this border region where we’ve seen daily exchanges of fire between Israel and Hezbollah.”

The Israeli army claimed it struck “a military building” and killed a member of the al-Jamaa al-Islamiya, but locals said “that is nothing but fabricated lies. This was a civilian target”.

Antitrust laws and legislation could not be more vitally important in today's world.

"If you are wondering why Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative MPs have been blocking predatory pricing legislation to crack down grocery giants like Loblaws and Walmart, it turns out that their own MPs and campaign strategists represent those exact same clients that control 50% of the retail grocery market in Canada." - Mark Gerretsen, MP

I like how graphic designers think I can just use a giant complicated image with text and graphics as a website. You're cute.

We get news media that runs by default on our tv box in the background, and I heard Global News quote the "Canadian Taxpayers Federation". My mouth dropped at that source. How could any legitimate news source ever think to quote such a blatantly extremist propaganda and disinformation mill?

Note: I switch it to CBC whenever I can, even if that means forgoing local news for national news. CBC has its issues, but nothing compared with the corporate bootlicking that is PostMedia.

This is the new face of healthcare in #ontario under Doug Ford. Do not let Danielle Smith do this to #Alberta!

Note: "Care& is a modern private family clinic powered by Nurse Practitioners. Our mission is to deliver primary care that is comprehensive, efficient, and affordable."

Nurses, not doctors.
