Very glad I live in a place with “Heights” in the name…

Remember RSS? It’s still alive and it still works. I feel it’s a solution to the Facebook and Google attempt to control access to news. https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2023/08/08/Use-Really-Simple-Syndication/
Billionaires think they can do anything, so have Zuckerberg do the surgery during the fight. I’m sure that will work out just fine. https://globalnews.ca/news/9881316/elon-musk-surgery-mark-zuckerberg-fight/

Remember that time the UCP created a moratorium on new fossil fuel projects until the industry cleaned up their multibillion dollar abandoned oil well mess? Me neither. #Alberta https://albertapolitics.ca/2023/08/danielle-smith-in-damage-control-mode-as-freeze-on-new-renewable-electricity-generation-projects-sparks-hostility/
For a fair fight, you really a few alligators in that cage. And tigers. Maybe some sharks too for good measure. https://www.reuters.com/technology/musk-says-fight-with-zuckerberg-will-be-live-streamed-x-2023-08-06/
Saw something I haven't seen in weeks yesterday evening while out cycling with @TAV; an OC Transpo LRT (noisily) moving on the tracks between Pimisi and Bayview stations.
Tongass National Forest has a great sense of humor about "bear petting." 😜 Another place to visit on my bucket list. It's 16.7 million acres and is in Southeast near Juneau. I've been to Juneau, just not to the forest and I will NEVER pet a bear!

Steve Schmidt says Ron DeSantis "may be the worst presidential candidate of the last 50 years who has received any attention whatsoever from the national media" But when I see DeSantis I can't help thinking of Scott Walker, the former WI governor. The political media was briefly infatuated with him, he was the GOP's next great hope, and then he imploded.
I never understood the fascination with walker. I thought he was terrible. Zero charisma, terrible ideas, goofy looking.
Just completely delusional. Who in their right (or wrong) mind would trust Elmo with their financial info? “X would serve people’s financial needs to such a degree that over time it would become, I don’t know, maybe half of the global financial system,” https://decrypt.co/151378/twitter-music-handle-ripped-away-elon-musk
"Why can't we just agree to disagree on politics?"
My dude.
- Agree to disagree was called pro-choice. You ended it and shoved authoritarian control of women's bodies down our throats.
- Agree to disagree was called LGBTQ inclusion. You banned it from schools, libraries, bathrooms, and the military.
- Agree to disagree was called Black Lives Matter. You mocked it and spat on it and threatened us with violence if we "try that in a small town".
- Agree to disagree was called Democracy. You traitors tried to kill it and install a military coup of your orange god emperor instead.
So no. Apparently, "we" CAN'T agree to disagree. And that's entirely your fault.
