Every day I try to appreciate some sort of kindness, beauty, or grandeur.
Today, I invite you to join me in appreciation of the truly breathtaking levels of stupidity that have spread everywhere, through everything, touching everyone in some way.
Genuinely breathtaking to behold

Why is the media consistently saying "energy," when they actually mean "oil and gas"?
"Alberta energy deal" rather than "Alberta oil and gas deal" etc.
This is obfuscation.
It serves to present these agreements as beneficial to all, rather than specifically beneficial to the oil and gas industry.

I want to say something snarky about leopards and experienced politicians being naive, but the leader of the greens supported an oil & austerity budget and now those are our countries priorities. I can't even muster my snark, Canadian leadership is dog shit
In politics you are only as good as your word.
Did PM Carney mislead Elizabeth May to get her budget support?
In a minority government you can't afford to be losing cabinet ministers and alienating potential allies.

I named my fists Congressional Democrats because they haven't put up a fight in decades
I named my fists AUG and UGA because one starts it and the other finishes it.
I named my fists Master and Commander, because together they’re gonna send you to the far side of the world.

The new Ze Frank video reminded me about an adaptation found in some entomopathogenic nematodes - using both their own muscle power and static electricity, they can leap into the air and home in on their host, like an anti-insect surface-to-air missile

Fatal attraction: Electric charge connects jumping worm to aerial prey
A tiny worm that leaps high into the air — up to 25 times its body length — to attach to flying insects uses static electricity to perform this astounding feat, Emory physicists have found.

The FUCK!?! Carney holding secret meetings with Smith about allowing oil tankers in the north BC coast?
Imagine how Alberta would respond if BC and the federal gov was literally conspiring against their provincial government?
No link, just caught a bit of CBC radio picking up kid from dentist

As a teen I thought it would be funny to become a professional drug user, and I was right - but you can't do that forever. So I became a data analyst, then a flower farmer, then a psych nurse. Because ADHD
