The finale of the brilliant historical sitcom Blackadder left many of us in tears. It remains just as powerful today, and so it should. Lest we forget.

I’ve just now gotten around to reading @FrancesWiddows1’s statement of claim in her law suit against @uLethbridge. Of all the appalling actions performed by the university administrators, I think the two most despicable are (1) *congratulating* the students who mobbed Widdowson, and (2) the utterly creepy “cleansing” ceremony the school performed to sanitize their premises of (as they apparently see it) ideologically diseased interlopers. The entire school comes off as some kind of cultish compound trying to punish heretics.

@lancecheek Once again, a random day in the 70s has better music than I’ve heard in months of our current era

My law firm is gearing up to take on the Federal Government over the thousands of sexual assault/ intimate partner violence cases that are thrown out of the criminal court system due to delays. We are ready. Everyday a woman is murdered in Canada because her abuser escaped consequences. Learn more at https://t.co/iPPlMo6Fqh and watch the video below and SHARE:

@lancecheek Is it just me, or can one random day in the 70s actually feature more great music than months in the current era?

HEY ALBERTA. Everybody is still trying to figure out what's happening in Wainwright and how to help.

Want to help?

DONATE BLOOD.

You don't need all of your blood; just most of it. Burn victims need lots of blood. Plus, more blood is always better. https://t.co/fQqG9mTUmZ

First. The narrative that diesel prices in America are heavily impacted by Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries is completely fabricated.

​Second. The sanctions waiver Trump just granted to Russia is using the fabricated narrative above to make it look like it's in America's national interest. It is not.

​Third. It was planned, and the narrative was constructed to make it happen, which took time.

Fourth. This offers Russia's economy a necessary lifeline it desperately needs.

​Fifth. this is happening during one of the largest Russian bombing campaigns targeting the civilian population of Ukraine, and right before winter, a season the Russians proudly and loudly plan to make the hardest and deadliest for Ukraine yet by bombing our civilian infrastructure and causing a humanitarian disaster.

​This is well planned and played. A masterclass in betrayal, executed at the hardest possible time. I can almost feel a physical knife between my shoulder blades...
