Whomever is running the display algorithm needs to get their money back. Keep muting accounts and threads on a topic (won’t name it as I don’t want to see it) and it still keeps getting populated in my Discover feed

Every time you use self-checkout, you’re doing a job a company used to PAY someone to do. Those 10 minutes in line? That’s wages a corporation no longer has to pay. Stop calling it convenience when you’re doing the work for free. Stop helping machines replace us. Smarten up. 👏🏻

The wonderfully talented Marsh Family has a new parody of Alanis Morissette's song "Ironic." This will piss off Crybaby Caligula yugely. Isn't he moronic? Don't you think?😅

Four-panel political cartoon. An older white man in a suit warns two workers, one Black, one white, "Careful. That foreigner wants your cookie." While he distracts them, the workers wrestle the plate of cookies away from him and ultimately share them peacefully together.

A woman with a cane stands at a ticket window staffed by a man. A nearby kiosk has an out of order sign. The ticket clerk says, "OK, one more time. Go home and log on to our website from your computer, create an account and purchase your ticket with your credit or debit card, download the ticket to a smartphone, then come back at the allocated time...Just what part of 'easier and more convenient ' don't you get?"

Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

American Media criticizing  Canada men’s national football team head coach Jesse Marsch because he gave this speech to his team on the pitch after yesterday’s historical match. Interesting that it’s ok when the US does it. Either way, in the words of Jesse Marsch: “I don’t give a sh!t”

“I have served the public as a Public Health Inspector for over 9 years. Together, we have made it through numerous staff turnovers, wildfires, emergency evacuations, boil water orders, housing crises, infestations, and outbreaks.

It has been an absolute privilege to keep not just Albertans safe, but you—my neighbors and friends. It is your fundamental right to enjoy an outing at a restaurant, go for a swim, or drink a glass of tap water without the worry of getting sick or poisoned.
But this is all about to change.

In just six days, on June 17, 2026, the Government of Alberta is implementing mass layoffs across the province. We are being forced to choose between signing a severance agreement that bans us from working within the province, or accepting a Government of Alberta position with severe cuts to benefits, pay, seniority, and positions.

Legislation was silently passed to violate our contracts and force us into roles that will no longer effectively serve our communities. While a transition was expected, Public Health Inspectors are uniquely the only professional body targeted in this manner by the government.

This incredibly short notice was entirely by design to prevent public pushback.

Our Provinces's health is at stake. Please, stand with us and write or call your MLA immediately to demand they advocate for a fair and amicable transition that protects public health and the inspectors who keep Alberta safe."

There’s a reason they’re targeting libraries. They don’t want you educated. They don’t want you to have a nuanced view of history. Or to read novels that will give you empathy. Or to know about inspiring women, Black or LGBTQ people. They want you intellectually small and easy to manipulate.

Something perhaps for media to look into? The man needs help. After nearly 4 years, Dave still has not seen a treating neurologist for serious workplace injuries including a skull fracture, concussion, chronic migraines and vertigo. www.facebook.com/share/p/18cU... #Alberta #AlbertaHealth
Screenshot of a Facebook post. It reads: I hesitated to post this on socials but I'm reaching my limits handling Dave's WCB case alone. I am looking for contacts in the Calgary area for both a Human Rights lawyer as well as media coverage. Please DM me if you have leads on either. Also feel free to share this to your networks!

After 1,453 days or 3 years, 11 months and 22 days Dave has still not seen a treating neurologist for his workplace accident that caused a skull fracture, concussion, occipital neuralgia, chronic migraines and vertigo.

Just this week we received two rejections. One from the Alberta Neurological Center - which employs many neurologists that could have helped Dave. The reason for rejection - he has an open WCB claim.

The second rejection came after a complete extensive workup on Dave's neck by the team at Running Shoe/Calgary Concussion Center (who were wonderful to work with)

At this point Dave has effectively been iced out of care from both AHS and private clinics due to his WCB claim. However WCB does not employ a treating neurologist 🫠 We are living in an absolute nightmare.

Dave lives in chronic pain daily, I am left to manage everything around the house as well as organize medical appointments, medications and drive Dave to various treatments and assessments. Our relationship is nothing like it was before. But we are both stubborn and can't give up the fight.

Please help or share our story if you know anyone that can help. Also, you bet I have ALL the receipts - boxes of documentation and hours of phone calls recorded.

If the #WNBA expansion draft rules are such that the teams are just getting a few days early access to free agents I hope they pass on all selections. No reason to give a FA extra leverage on a contract as the new face of the franchise

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...
user abbiistabbii: 
The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.

Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.

It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

i was talking to my mom about cardassians and said something along the lines of what must it be like to be a cardassian civilian. like abstractly knowing the rest of the galaxy thinks of your species as 'the evil ones' and kinda sorta knowing your government runs labor camps and torture prisons and is a military empire, and it's a huge deal for everyone else in the galaxy, but you just like run a restaurant so it's not a big part of your daily life, so you just like, go about your day and make soup and don't think about it' and then halfway through my sentence i actually heard myself and then had to go sit down for like ten minutes. like sat down in a chair and stared at the floor for ten minutes
