Municipal governments in Kelowna and Edmonton, Alberta, are still mulling over whether to allow Feucht to go ahead with his scheduled tour stops later this month, after an outcry from residents in many cities and LGBTQ+ rights groups.

The city of Saskatoon in Saskatchewan confirmed on 30 July that it had approved Feucht’s permit for a show scheduled for 21 August

I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.

It used to be cheap, fast, filling and clean. It’s none of those things anymore.

What’s their value proposition nowadays? Nostalgia?

“Somebody said to me ‘Alina, would you rather be smart or pretty?’ and I said ‘Oh easy, pretty… I can fake being smart’.

I believe Sean may also have a cauliflower brain.

How I envy you to be able to watch Archer for the first time.

I must have watched the whole thing a dozen times.

-Protect preborn babies!

-What about postborn babies? You know, like mothers?

-No

I find Al Jazeera to be one of the best news outlet… For everything NOT related to arab and Muslim politics.

For the rest, they do some pretty objective reporting and cover a lot of international issues that don’t get covered anywhere else.

Also keep in mind that it’s written “opinion” twice on top of the article.

Lemmy:

Thanks for the links. Interesting reads.

Tldr, oxfam:

Around 50% of these emissions meanwhile can be attributed to the richest 10% of people around the world, who have average carbon footprints 11 times as high as the poorest half of the population.

Hard to swallow pill: The way of life of the rich countries, including the one of their poor citizens, is the problem. We, the westerners, are the problem, not the billions of China and India.

But yay electric cars and recycling… Insert “I’m doing my part” meme.

+1 For the Fall of Civilisations.

After listening to the 4h one on the Aztecs, I can now say with confidence that Cortés was a special kind of bastard whose grave deserves to be pissed on by all.

+1 for Prospect.

It brought me back to the weirdness of the sci-fi era of the 70s like Battle beyond the stars, Logan’s run, Doppelgänger and the original West world.

I felt like I was 8 years old discovering sci-fi again. Really worth it, although I’m sure it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.

The chemical isn’t the problem, it’s the dose. For instance, people have died from drinking too much water.

Sodium nitrite is used in cured meats to prevent botulism. I use half a teaspoon for 10 pounds of meat when I make sausage. It’s safe enough, at least, safer than botulism. Those people ingested way more to kill themselves, fully aware of the consequences.

It’s a tool. Like any tool, it can be used to harm, like knives, hammers or ropes. If we had to outlaw everything that could kill us, we wouldn’t have much left … Including water.
