"Just a day after Tim Pool blamed the victims of the Club Q shooting by having a "grooming event," Elon Musk is palling around with Tim Pool. ELON is implicitly endorsing the calls for violence against LGBTQ people." - Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_@twitter.com and @esqueer@mastodon.social )
"If you didn’t have our military equipment, this war would have been over in two weeks." - Donald Trump
Is he suggesting that US military aid came within 2 weeks of the 2022 invasion, or at all in 2014 after they invaded Crimea?
Fucker, elderly Ukrainian women were taking out Russian drones with molotov cocktails from their apartment windows!
At least when Epcor knocks on our door and tells us that they are cutting off our water in 20 minutes because the water main broke in the alley, we're prepared.
The city has warned us since the big thaw, that water mains are breaking and if you are unfortunate enough to be in the area it happens, you will have your water cut while they work on it, which won't all happen on the same day.
Also, they ask you to report if you see any water bubbling up on your street or alley.
And our stove broke.
According to US president Trump and vice president JD Vance, if you contradict Russian propaganda in any way, that is an "attack" on the US administration, and defending yourself against Russian attacks is "very disrespectful to this country" (USA).
Wow, Trump's administration have really got their backs up to defend Russia.
No, Europe does not stand with Russia and you can't be on the same side as Europe when you are on the side of the Russian invasion.
Amongst those Charlie Kirk openly called for violence against were trans folks, Blacks, women, queers, and educators. He said trans women were pervert men preying on real women, that Black workers are unqualified DEI hires and should not have jobs because they can't make proper life decisions despite being freed from slavery for 150 years, cried vehemently against women's rights, and created a "watch list" to dox Black and queer professors and make them easy to stalk. He was a White Supremacist who said that Critical Race Theory is "racism against whites" and held an "Exposing Critical Racism Tour (CRT)". He called public services "communism" to rile people up through "red scare" tactics. All this while telling us that those he does like, namely red-blooded straight white Conservative men, should all have guns to carry out their objectives, or as Gavin Newsom put it, "to continue his work".
Why the mourning over a lost Nazi?

“Budget 2025 and the government’s three-year fiscal plan is a blueprint to starve health care, education, and public service workers into submission,” says AUPE Vice-President Sandra Azocar.
“Is the government moving money around to help hard-working Albertans, or are they manufacturing a deficit so that the government can cry poor at the bargaining table?
AUPE members are prepared to fight for what we deserve – on the picket line if necessary.”
I finally got to watch Netflix's "Bigfoot Family" with the kids.
And it was made obvious to me how ridiculous it was that Alberta's UCP government saw themselves so clearly in the super villain of a European film production, that they took the movie as a personal affront against themselves and their oil industry cronies. What a sad moment of self-realization with a complete lack of self-reflection.

Same.... T-T
I saw it happen first late last night, but was expecting it to be fixed by the morning.
Back in the day an expired certificate didn't mean death. Browsers would simply prompt you to view the certificate and/or continue. Now they just block the site completely. :(
It should be a simple matter for the web host or certificate issuer to renew.
@mathzy@mastodon.green SSL certificate issue. It's a simple certificate expiration, from what I can see, but times have changed and browsers are now blocking access completely, whereas back in the day they would simply prompt you to continue after viewing the certificate. Ack.
I used to have these problems on my website sometimes, but now the system is more automated. The web host should be the one to fix it, or the certificate issuer who is listed as "Let's Encrypt" or "Internet Security Research Group".
I came on this account to see if anybody has any news about it being attended to, but alas not. :(
"New UCP budget doesn’t hire enough workers.
The provincial government of Alberta recently released their latest budget, and while the number of public sector workers increased, it didn’t keep up with population growth."
