Aurora happening in Nanaimo right now - very blue

@alberniweather@socialbc.ca @chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca

Gas hit $1.90 today in Nanaimo - thankyou Trump, you fucking gross orange idiot - everything will inflate

Reading the analyses from people who are good at this, and history, this is worse than the 1970's oil crisis - and it's all profiteering with our poli leaders shrugging shoulders

I am trying to book blood tests for our son; Life Labs is saying something in September is open - this is fucked

Make it work #NDP

Massive fire has collapsed a building right next to Central Station in Glasgow

UK Greens won a massive by-election in Manchester, overturning a huge 13K vote majority of Labour in the last election, and beating off the radical right Reform Party

This is a telling tale - backlash against lackluster almost neo-con style policies and politics from so-called 'progressive parties, and equally against rabid Trumpian style fascists

Watch out BC, that same mood is here, and BC Greens have a dynamic leader with @emilylowan@mastodon.social who can make things happen

oh good grief, this is just stupid

Our minister of AI and Digital Innovation is 'scolding' OpenAI for basically letting a very disturbed individual mass murder in Tumbler Ridge, and totally ignoring this excellent reporting on a frigging tiny minority of social media users, plus some obvious international interference, driving political madness in Canada, especially the Alberta separation groups

Get a fucking spine Evan Solomon and fucking harsh regulate the systems, or FAFO

While the US hockey men's team chug beer with the FBI director, US women's team give a big FU to Trump - no thank you to a White House visit and State of the Union

This might be one of the most consequential actions of the world breakup with the US, literally means dumping the $US as a reserve currency - plus EU/UK quickly moving to non-US based or owned cloud, comms and office computer services

Trump sure is making 'Murica great again
