@UbakaOgbogu Yes, Asimov had it right all those years ago. “ ... nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'”
"When Tesla released the video, Musk tweeted, 'Tesla drives itself (no human input at all) thru urban streets to highway to streets, then finds a parking spot.'”
Turns out the video was faked, using 3D-mapped fixed route—and the car still crashed parking.

@SimonROrrell Not a free market, it’s a subsidized one. These companies are basically getting paid to do what they already agreed was their responsibility. Just Gross. And many of course still haven’t paid their property taxes despite record high profits. 🤮
Fellow Albertans, if you're worried about federal sustainable jobs legislation, this op-ed is a must-read. "Good transition policies are about making decisions with people, not for them...The choice is between a just and unjust transition, not whether or not to have one." #ableg
It’s all free market rah rah rah … until you have to pay your bills and clean up your mess … and then the public should have to bail you out. Privatize the profits and socialize the losses. Bullshit. #ableg#abpoli
GLOBAL NEWS: Alberta’s NDP wants public consultations on a UCP plan that would subsidize oil and gas companies to fulfil legal commitments to clean up old wells, a major proponent of which has been working directly in Premier Smith’s office.

Lots of people constantly call on young activists, particularly BLM, to be like Martin Luther King. They have no idea what they're really calling for. Five ways to actually BE like Martin Luther King on what would have been his 94th birthday.
I like that; the idea of ending a speech about necessary work with a picture of arriving at the top of a mountain. Climbing a mountain certainly takes a lot of intentional work, and provides an amazing view that would be unavailable to anyone who didn’t do that work.
The work.
Fix abuse, corruption, and injustice, so we can address the natural repair and maintenance that creates a sustainable society for everyone.
Pay the natural cost of reparation: disruption, wealth, comfort, and privilege.
That's redemptive work.
*liberalism intensifies*
we've got money to spend on advertising to pretend that we're doing the right thing, while the reality is that we're actively doing the wrong thing
I think the history of slavery throughout the world, should be taught - all five millenia of it
And there should be a special focus on where it still exists
