Reposted by Terri BrandmuellerLindsay Brown @lidsville.bsky.social · 25/09/2026THE BC NDP CAN'T COMPLAIN ABOUT VOTE-SPLITTING. Vote-splitting is almost entirely a First Past the Post thing, & the BC NDP deliberately sabotaged the opportunity to install proportional representation on a trial basis, going instead for a designed-to-fail referendum written by...Dave Eby. #bcpoli 2469

Terri Brandmueller @tbrandmueller.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The sheer audacity of NDP supporters urging voters not to vote Green to avoid splitting the vote and handing the win to the Cons when their leader called an unnecessary, unwanted, opportunistic election. Sorry but Eby is the author of his own misfortune if the NDP loses their majority. Unbelievable 3199

Terri Brandmueller @tbrandmueller.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Counterpoint: Things just don’t “happen”—all change is caused by human action (good or bad). Tempered feelings lead to complacency. Passion leads to resistance. Telling people, in effect, to “calm down” leads to a fascist presidency 041

![When the 1974 recording of the song reached number one on the country charts, Elvis Presley indicated that he wanted to record the song.
Parton was interested until Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, told her that it was standard procedure for the songwriter to sign over half of the publishing rights to any song Elvis recorded.
[28] Parton refused. She recalls:
I said, 'I'm really sorry,' and I cried all night. I mean, it was like the worst thing. You know, it's like, Oh, my God... Elvis Presley.' And other people were saying, 'You're nuts. It's Elvis Presley!'...I said, 'I can't do that.
Something in my heart says, 'Don't do that. And I just didn't do it... He would have killed it. But anyway, so he didn't. Then when Whitney [Houston's version] came out, I made enough money to buy Graceland. 29]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oxplkzuausfufk5dthatrd5m/bafkreihq5mquwwvljjtys7fyqpnwvzj4cnfrkinrrbuhflwrdkxerzcghi)
