By the book: Alberta schools pull at least 160 titles from shelves to meet provincial order | CBC News Alberta school divisions complying with a provincial order have removed dozens of graphic novels from their shelves, from illustrated versions of literary classics to coming-of-age memoirs and dramati...

What books did Alberta schools *actually* pull off the shelves in response to a provincial order? It took a lot of work to find out. We still don't have a complete picture. And some schools are still pulling material.

Free speech advocates say it's ban unmatched in Canadian history. #AbLeg By me.

This is an active duty RCAF officer:

This is the warning on the blood pressure monitor my dad just got.

Exceptional work. Anybody know what the fuck it’s supposed to mean?

I just saw a TikTok video that referred to the band Bikini Kill as "Bikini Unalive," and it's like, what are we even doing at this point?

Screenshot from the video game Persona 4. In the halls of Yasogami High, the protagonist talks to a male student labeled "Stylish student". His dialogue window reads:
"Hanging out with women, going on dates with them, that's fine. Killing them? Not so much."

Logging in to provide further proof, so all the conservative influencers and β€œjournalists” stop downplaying this.

Shawn Beauvais-MacDonald (who showed up to intimidate me) is a SELF-DESCRIBED Nazi.

Alex Vriend, who Western Standard platformed, is a SELF-DESCRIBED white nationalist.

Receipts.

Why is my local city and public library looking to pay $50/hr for an AI Artist Residency? The Calgary Public Library is offering $8,000 for an AI Artist Residency while Canadian artists face funding cuts and 16% grant acceptance…

"Every dollar directed toward normalizing AI art generation is a dollar that didn’t go toward a muralist, a poet, a filmmaker, a ceramicist... Every institutional stamp of approval on this technology makes the next round of cuts to human artists that much easier to justify."

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

It's amazing people will claim "Canada and the USA have the same culture" and then on something as fundamental as "do you trust your fellow citizens to be good" we are further apart than any other two countries

Advocates push back on Danielle Smith's comment that people are moving to Alberta for social programs | CBC News The premier said her government wants to ensure programs like Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped, or AISH, aren't "overly generous," and that she's heard people have moved to Alberta just to ...

"If we're going to be making social policy that affects tens of thousands of Albertans, it should be based on evidence, and it should be evidence that's available to all of us."

Carney's all in on killing the planet.

Alberta impact assessments have always been a joke.

Global energy superpower simply means ecocide enabler.

Every word of Carney's election promises on the environment were a bald faced lie.

Rogan Calls Trans People β€œPerverts,” Spreads School Shooting Lies On Show This week, on The Joe Rogan Experience: Steve-O and more anti-trans hate.

1. Yesterday, Joe Rogan called transgender people perverts and school shooters to his audience of tens of millions of people.

It was his most overt display of transphobia yet.

Democrats wanted to court this man and his listeners.

The latest from our journalist, S. Baum.

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.

I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.
