But that doesn't explain Alberta.

Is it *that* billboard? It's been ages since I lived there but I recall there's a particularly notorious one.

It is not that they (there are a lot of 'theys' these days) CAN'T do these things, because plainly they can. It's that they SHOULDN'T, and everyone KNOWS that they shouldn't, and yet they do it anyway, and nobody knows what to do about that.

Alberta legislators need the brine to preserve their organs.

He says Albertans should be livid about what #ableg did today, which is a good word but doesn't quite have the oomph of "seething with soul-curdling rage".

I want to hear that she's resigning in disgrace by the end of the week.

I should be doing something fun but instead I'm being continually angered by the #ableg feed and echoing every call of "shame" coming from the opposition.

I feel vindicated that actual professionals use Affinity, after so many times of telling clients that no, I can't send them the Adobe files so that they can stop paying me for changes.

I only just learned recently that Tim Curry replaced Kevin Kline in the stage run in 1982 and I really wish there were more recordings of it.

I shall have to console myself with Kevin Kline and Angela Lansbury.

Today the Premier of Alberta is intending to violate the civil liberties of the entire labor class by legislating striking teachers back to work. Which would be bad enough by itself, but she's also being fucking smug about it.

This is actually true. We've had to stop buying pickles for a while because literally everything in the pickle aisle at our local store was made in the US even though the cucumbers came from Ontario.

I am absolutely convinced that I heard this song, or a very similar one, before A Mighty Wind came out. I just have no idea where or what it was called or who it was by.

And this is why their doctors are always careful to sew up microexplosives with remote detonators inside their patients. This is called "health insurance".

I suspect that what will actually happen is that people who have never actually seen it before will be disappointed to find that this ancient truism is actually just a quick cut to a pyrotechnic effect and the sound of a shot.

Kitty Peregrin S @kittythes.bsky.social · 2d

I understand that this was distressing for you, but did you really need to inflict it on the rest of us?

I would like someone to resign in disgrace this week. I am not particular about who. The field is so wide.
