This begins to look a lot like the "Freedom Convoy" - a small group of very loud people vs. a majority who have no intention of separating. #abpoli #Ableg

That tree was already dead. 😀

And because this is Alberta:

Is the cat alive or dead!!?? Alive or dead???!!!

Meanwhile, major funding cuts to departments you could call "environmental", all of which are services that make Canada a better place to live. A 41% cut to CRA, who has already said they don't have the staff or funding to go after wealthy people & orgs who move their profits out of country. 🤔

Well, that's no good: #abpoli #ableg

There's now an official Angine de poitrine bug!

Here's a deer eating human bones at a "body farm" in the eastern US. (Body farms are where they leave &/or bury bodies to learn about how decomposition works for forensic use.)

Oh man, have people forgotten that Boris Johnson even existed? These people are Britain's brain trust!

This seems like a metaphor for something... and zero mention of any looming water issues in the Colorado River basin.

I still like Kakistocracy better.

Industrial advertising is an education system. Car manufacturers spend ~£21billion/year on ads for their products. It's no wonder people don't learn about the downside of SUVs. www.activewin.co.uk/blog/how-muc...

What's actually going on here? If only there was some way of explaining this stuff.

Hence the most common edible mushroom's name, Agaricus campestris. Tangentially, this illustration from Wikipedia makes me think of the recent article about "Lilliputian hallucinations", because "Amanita muscaria... is often associated with gnomes". www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Razzle Dazzle - Canadian 1960s kid's show.

Deep down, skeletons is all we are

You know, AI can probably make better & faster decisions than a government of men... 🤠

Most parties have smoky backrooms where the backstabbing happens. UCP has this old bus they keep for special occasions...
