Itās a must watch. Itās engaging and heartbreaking, but it exposes the failure of government at every level to help those who lost everything when the levies broke. It also exposes the media for lying about looting and violence in the aftermath of the storm. Outright LIED on these people.
Yes. It was a tough watch. This is equally as tough. What goddamn good is government if it canāt help the people who need help the most? What good is the media, if their fallacious reporting causes those people even more harm? I just ā¦ ARGH.
Decided to watch āKatrina: Come Hell and High Waterā on the Nettie while I did the ironing. Iām on the second episode. 47 minutes in. Iāve been yelling at the TV for 45 of the 47 minutes. Enraging. Just ENRAGING.
The Feds appointed Atwood to the Order of Canada because of her contributions to literature. Alberta banned children from reading that contribution in school. Canadian politics in a nutshell. Somewhat related, until this morning I was sure she was also a Senator. #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli
This town is crispy AF right now.
She thinks sheās Dagny Taggart. And anyone who has read this ridiculous alt-right Bible knows exactly why that makes her dangerous. #ableg
The 1975 version. I am obsessed.
Thank you so much. I will definitely pass that along. Keep on rollinā proud!
Your biggest fan is going to be absolutely thrilled by this response. Probably gonna make me print it out so they can put it on their wall with all of their ETS maps š
I usually avoid them when they are comfy in the recliners because if I even glance at them, itās all neediness. I love my dogs, but labradoodles are without out a doubt the most emotionally needy animals Iāve ever encountered. Like fluffy children.
Dear @etriders.bsky.social: Do you have a hip young ambassador to amplify your awesomeness? If not, Iāve found the perfect candidate. ššš
No, please, donāt get up. I would not dare inconvenience either of you.
My kid is faculty of ed at U of A. Iām so worried that when they are finished at Uni, theyāll take a job in a different province because who the fuck wants to be a teacher under this fascist regime of a government, you know?
EXACTLY. EPSB had handled this perfectly. They canāt refuse to comply, because that would likely result in the govāt firing the board, & taking over EPSB. So they OVER complied, and made absolute fools of Smith & her education minister. Good on EPSB. SO PROUD OF THEM.
This UCP government treats public educators like absolute shit, every chance they get. āHey - help us ban books by creating a digital library of every book in your classroom. And do that on your own time, without pay. By the way, donāt even thing about striking. Weāll lock your asses out.ā #ableg
Not just a one off comment, either. Heās brought up āgetting into heavenā several times since Aug 19, expressed concern that heās ālow on the totem poleā when it comes to his chances, is now fundraising off his own fear. No one can tell me Trump hasnāt received VERY bad news from his doctors.
We saw them last night and they were solid, as usual. But this isnāt a lyric from a Wilco song š
9 hours later, still waiting for someone to scream the next lyric at me. You guys are so disappointing. š
Nailed it. #ableg #cdnpoli #yeg

Conspiracy theories can significantly influence public support for war www.psypost.org/conspiracy-t... From study: For example, "exposing participants to a conspiracy theory about Ukraine increased their support for the Russian invasion."
Alberta shame on you. You are becoming like the US and thatās nothing to be proud of. šØš¦ #canada www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...
FASCISM.
A more in depth statement from the chair of the Edmonton Public School Boardā¦ Make no mistake, these are the UCPās book bans. They wrote a policy that everyone but them saw this coming. Which maybe speaks a bit to their competence? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli
Good morning, #ableg Book banning is fascist. Period. Have a lovely day.
Another gorgeous day in the capital region. Got a big day planned. Gonna do some ironing while I listen to the new Sabrina Carpenter. Might even have it blasting in the yard while I weed the garden! Then some evening grocery shopping ā¦ Itās about to get Friday crazy in this joint.
How do Americans live like this? Someone explain it to me. How do you live each day not knowing if your kid will come home that afternoon? How? And while youāre at it, please tell me what led to so many Americans clinging to their guns with more passion than they cling to their own babies.

I need to open bedroom windows at night. When the nighttime low is over 20, itās pointless to do so, and yet I still need to because I cannot bear a stuffy bedroom.
I prefer an August heatwave to a July heatwave because at least weāre getting some overnight cooling now that the sun is setting earlier. Those July heatwave overnight lows of 21 are unbearable.
Well now. This is a gut punch of truth.
My morning coffee companions.
OMG STAHHHHHP ššššš
Shuler: They want to convince people that we are each otherās enemiesāthat we need to fight one another to land a good job, to find a home in a safe neighborhood, that only so many of us can live with dignity at the same time. But we are not each otherās enemies. We are each otherās neighbors
The soundtrack is ā¦
Good holy Rice Krispies šššš
Sweet mother of Zeus! Itās a toasty one out here today, Edmonton kids. #yeg #yegwx
Itās definitely an āI probably am gonna wish I didnāt know about this here shitā kind of thing.
I feel like weāre not talking about the Buga Sphere enough. Because I just read this scientific paper about that thing and WTF? Like, I thought this was a TikTok hoax? papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....
Itās hit 10 million likes. In the space of an hour. JFC.
šššš Thatās almost as good as the āI Knew You Were Troubleā goat.
Seriously have been waiting for this announcement for two full years. She IS his endgame.
Well itās about fricken time.
Almost forgot I have tickets to see Wilco in #yeg this weekend but then I remembered and now my Tuesday morning just got brighter. Anyway, hereās my fave Wilco song. Enjoy. youtu.be/efq95Pfqt5U?...
š So, itās a comet. An extremely large comet. With a few scientific anomalies. And now some quack with āHarvardā attached to his name is pushing that itās an alien ship. š NASA says ānah, bruh. Itās a big rockā. science.nasa.gov/solar-system...
Also, itās not an alien ship and itās not going to crash into earth. You all have really got to get a grip.
The algorithm has betrayed me šššš
Iām gonna need to quit scrolling TikTok because if I accidentally see that David Lee Roth āperformanceā one more time, I will lose my mind. Sweet Holy Zeus make it stop.
That central AC gonna be getting a workout this week, #yeg friends. Ooooh golly.
Look, all Iām saying is if a nurse doesnāt know the difference between gender and sex, she likely shouldnāt be nursing anyone anywhere anyway.
What a bizarre outburst. Are you okay?
TBH, I donāt enjoy other people mucking about in my kitchen, even if they are āhelpingā. Iām a pretty organized cook, so cleanup isnāt too demanding, but Iād rather do it on my own regardless cuz other people mess my shit up š
I have family visiting from BC this weekend and lemme tell ya, friends - I am preparing a FEAST. Iāve been to four different food stores to acquire all the fixings. Itās been too long since I last went full cooking extravaganza. I had almost forgotten how much I love this.
Oh thatās definitely an aspect. But Trumpās biz deals and loans have been tied up with Russian oligarchs for decades. Even Eric Trump said a disproportionate amount of their biz is with Russians. Trump wonāt risk any financial loss that could come from pissing off Putin.
My 6th grade bestie and I would play this entire album over and over again, on a little portable record player, while we hung out in her room. This album always gives me such happy childhood memories.
HA! Now I know we are the same age š
I think youāre right, for whatās itās worth. What Putin has on Trump is more about all of the Trump Orgās biz dealings in Russia, methinks. Itās financial.
Current status: Blasting Supertrampās āBreakfast in Americaā in a sad attempt to reconnect with my long lost youth.

Monday in Calgary Forever Canadian petition pop ups, ~ 2 hours) šØš¦ City Hall Plaza 11am to 1pm Somerset Water park 11am Egerts park, Thornhill 3pm Bridgeland, across from Village Ice Cream, 5pm #Canada #ForeverCanadian #Alberta #yyc #Calgary #abpoli #ableg Check ForeverCanadianPetitionEvents.com
I stg if this is a merch drop, I will RANT. Merch drops donāt deserve this level of anticipation.
Itās especially smart because no one is in a rush at the dog park. Weāre all just standing around while our fur babes socialize. Perfect spot for a little canvassing.
Wake up babes - sheās doing the shenanigans again.
Wow!!! Calgarians leave no doubt about their love for Canada. Check out this line-up to sign the #ForeverCanadian petition today. #Yyc #ableg #cdnpoli
Amazing. AH. MAZE. ING. Look what you did. Good work, T-Lukz. š«¶šØš¦
This. Absolutely. If this workforce wasnāt more than 70% women, it wouldāve never been like this in the first place. Itās the 1950ās sentiment that āgirl jobsā (teacher, nurse, flight attendant, etc) are for bored housewives who want pin $, & unwed spinsters.
This isnāt just an Air Canada issue. Itās the industry standard. And it dates back to a time when being a flight attendant was perceived as a glamourous sexy job. The pay was crap, but the joys of travel, of seeing the world, were supposed to make up for it.
Hot men support women being fairly compensated for their labour.
Just stumbled across a vid of Air Canada pilots pulling up in a pickup truck to drop off cases of bottled water, snacks, and supplies for the striking flight attendants and oh my menopausal emotions š Stronger together means something š«¶
Sign the petition until 2PM at Bueno Vista Dog Park ( near the Zoo) by the washrooms. #Yeg #Edmonton #ForeverCanadian
Hey! We were just there. We mustāve missed you by minutes :-(
Great to run into the Forever Canadian people at the Laurier Park off-leash. They didnāt even have to ask because you know we signed immediately. My Canada includes Alberta. My Alberta belongs in Canada. #ableg
JFC. First of all, itās āKikkiā, not āNikkiā. Beyond that, did you miss the winky face? Do you not comprehend sarcasm/satire/parody?
Arnold Schwarzenegger has a few words for Trump.
Hey, freedumb loving patriots - you just gonna stand for this? Now theyāre closing trails in ALBERTA! Yāall better get out there on those trails and let Parks Canada know whoās the boss in this place. š
Watching a doc about the Astrowlrd tragedy and O. MY. ZEUS. Iām damn near having a panic attack just from the footage. Absolutely horrific.
Kid and I went back to the hotel after Los Lobos, left Mr on his own for Steve Earle. 15 minutes after we got back to the hotel, Mr is at the room door looking like a drowned rat. He gave up on sticking it out š
Saturday night was abject hell. We got caught in that torrential downpour that delayed all the performances for the evening. And lemme tell ya - trying to wring out and dry your shit in a hotel room is less than ideal. Our little wagon was a water tank by the time we got back to the Sheraton š
OMG folk fest was awful. We did one night, got absolutely soaked to the bone. Then the shivers set in and that was it. I was done done done.
YOINKIES!
It wasnāt horrible, but itās not been fabulous. I certainly didnāt miss last yearās stretch of āfeels like 40ā, but I sure wouldāve appreciated a bit more sunshine and warm temps.
Forecast high of 14 tomorrow. BRRRRRRRR
Me, reading the replies to my Taylor tweet this morning.
Hate to say it, but itās a tad chilly out here this morning, #yeg. A very fresh 9 degrees.
My very proper British Auntie purchased a copy. Cracked me right up. My Uncle (her husband), bore a striking resemblance to Robert Redford. So. Nothing like Burt Reynolds š
Iām so proud of them š
š«¶
Tell me Iām wrong, I dare ya. All your grandmas (and a few uncles), lusted this man and his glorious man bush.
I stg Travis Kelce has made it his life mission to bring the āBurt Reynoldsā back. And by āthe Burt Reynoldsā, I mean 70ās style, bushman level man bush. 1/2
I love that this is the first interview that Travis and Taylor have done together, and they are doing it their way. The networks that wouldāve absolutely KILLED for a sit down interview, and TnT just did it their own way. Phenomenal.
For any of my Swifties who arenāt sure how to catch the New Heights episode with Taylor Swift (starts in less than 3 minutes), hereās the link: youtu.be/M2lX9XESvDE?...
Youāre killing me. KILL. ING. MOI. š
Wake up, Swifties: LAST LOCK DROPPED.
Like FFS. Everyone is desperate for a piece of happy right now - even the smallest bit. When they find that bit, itās monstrous to steal that joy from them. That moment might be the only thing holding them up right now. Let them have it, you know?
āI think we all know that if thereās one thing male sports fans want to see on their screens and in their spaces, itās more of me.ā - Taylor Muthafuckin Swift And THAT, my bishes, is how we take up space in all the places the Dads, Chads, and Brads donāt want us to be. #fuckthepatriarchy
PS: some of you need to stop being such fucking martyrs. Being too cool and socially aware to listen to Taylor Swift - and being LOUD so that everyone knows it - doesnāt make you a fucking hero. It makes you an asshole with a TikTok account who uses Swiftās name for clicks & clout š¤·āāļø
It shouldnāt need to be said, but basically everything sucks right now, & most of us are suffering in one way or another, & if weāre able to find small pockets of joy & something to be happy about, maybe donāt be an asshole and decide to mock or shit on that, you know. Let people have a moment.
