Average in every conceivable way. I like dogs! Plus other things probably, IDK, I’m tired. Music and art please. AI is garbage and I won’t use or support it. #YEG

Switching away from Spotify was easy btw. I agonized over it and it was literally fine. Qobuz is currently working well for me, got all the playlists transferred over and all that. More $$ to musicians. Into it.

Outplayed in 2018 over TMX, is Canada being gamed again with the pipeline MOU?
Political pressure, not markets, seems to be driving the deal between @MarkjCarney and @DanielleSmith.

Coun. Tang has just introduced a capital motion to add $600,000 to the budget for planning and design of widening Parsons Road. Tang mentions the potential for a casino specifically.
We reported on how this would land on council's lap before the election.

Alberta has been the most aggressive, investing heavily to attract hyperscale projects. But there is no fulsome plan for how municipalities will shoulder the known costs to infrastructure and public health.
Hyperscale data-centre expansion is outpacing the capacity of the local systems that support it.
The public health costs are falling to small municipalities with limited leverage and no oversight mechanisms.
This week we map out an emerging pattern:

Pretty much ANY statistic you see cited to frighten you about vaccines comes from the VAERS database. (Including the recent evidence-free missive from Vinay Prasad). Here's why VAERS can NEVER be a proper source for population-level vaccine risk estimates.

Just a friendly reminder that the Polar Vortex is not an Arctic storm, polar hurricane, blizzard or things that comes to visit us. Lobes of its wave system can dip south into the U.S. bringing colder air. I have already seen a car commercial improperly refer to it and a major newspaper headline.

As the days get colder & the nights get longer here in the northern hemisphere, folktales are full of the eerie, the creepy, the supernatural & the slightly sinister Yuletide characters. I have an ongoing collection of linocut prints (and holiday cards!) full of festive characters like the Yule Cat

Typically disappointing answer. Climate awareness is the absolute bare minimum here, and they can’t even pretend to care with the MOU.
