A writer tried dating alt-right men as an experiment to learn about them. There is so much going on here I don't even know where to start

www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/...

I told him that I was born in Russia and was a writer. He showed me a list he’d written of his favourite desserts in the city. It was a sober hobby he’d started during the pandemic, going to restaurants by himself, sampling sweets. He made a lot of lists, he said, most of them food-related. I asked what other kinds he made.

“Lists of lies liberal white women tell about Donald Trump,” he replied.

Suddenly, his leg was shaking. He grabbed the edges of the table and raised his voice: “White, liberal women are a plague on our society.”

He proceeded to drink 11 iced coffees.

My oldest works with special needs kids in the public school system

When you have over 30 kids in a kindergarten class, 10 with special needs, kids are going to fall through the cracks

Those kids grow up to be adults who can't read

The teachers were trying to save their future

Today, I submitted 456,365 Albertans’ signatures to Elections Alberta, petitioning the Premier to do the right thing, avoid a divisive and economically harmful referendum, and allow MLAs to vote and reaffirm that Alberta’s future is in Canada.🇨🇦

Alberta is #ForeverCanadian

What’s great about the World Series is Canada is being run today by tens of millions of people on four hours of sleep.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

#MorningPrayer
Lord,
when our hope is weak,
when we encounter
signs of despair,
guide us to
your empty tomb,
to your word which says
neither to be
anxious nor afraid,
but to journey
in the experience
and expectation
of your risen life.
Transform our grief
by the joy of your love.

Petition to keep Alberta in Canada is really close to collecting enough signatures, but we need to have a “comfort margin” in case some signatures get rejected.

PLEASE, continue signing the #ForeverCanadian petition!!!

They've been doing this in Alberta for a couple of years now, and the answer is they don't go anywhere. We're locked in an ever escalating spiral of expense and dehumanization that does nothing but create massive amounts of litter in my neighbourhood & makes the unhoused folks more angry each day.

Ontario cities are clearing homeless encampments. Where are people supposed to go?

Amidst a housing crisis with no end in sight, municipalities across the province have been cracking down on the unhoused:

It’s hard not to feel gratitude for Thomas and his team in this effort. I’m not sure yet where it will take us, but his commitment and his progress is admirable.

I’m doubtful the separatist crowd could organize an effort this big and this successful.

Looking a bit tired and with sniffles, here’s an update on the #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus tour and on our signature count.

It’s looking really good, but we need to push it across the finish line. Keep in mind that some signatures may get rejected.

Thank you volunteers!

Got off the plane and walked into a drug store in Ottawa and got my COVID vaccine in under 5 minutes. No line up. No appointment. No cost.

Was even asked if I wanted Moderna or Pfizer.

It’s unconscionable that we can’t get this same level of service in Alberta.

The UCP is introducing legislation to ensure that only "serious" people are allowed to run in elections.

Whatever could go wrong with a government putting up barriers for people who want to run against them?
