Just finished Burn Book by Kara Swisher. As a fan of her podcasts I had high expectations for the book. I wasn’t disappointed. Funny, insightful and depressing in equal measure. Hopefully some people in positions of authority pick up on the serious societal damage caused by the tech industry… 1/2

Everything this government does begins (and often ends) with one calculation: how can we help the oil and gas industry?
Not workers. Not Albertans. Not even businesses. Just one industry -- one that's clearly captured this government.
Not workers. Not Albertans. Not even businesses. Just one industry -- one that's clearly captured this government.
The Alberta government is planning to take over the province's natural gas pipeline system to ensure tech companies and oil majors will have enough natural gas for their operations — even if it makes gas more expensive for Albertans, a leaked document reveals.

Does Alberta Provide $10 in Services for Every $1 of 'Guest Worker' Taxes? via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/News/2026/09...
This whole referendum exercise is to allow Smith to remain UCP leader. Someone should calculate how much Alberta taxpayers are paying for Smith’s personal benefit. #abpoli #ableg

If Alberta is borrowing help from other provinces to process the Referendum, can we also borrow help to investigate the Corrupt Care Scandal? I think we could use it.

Finished reading Endling by Maria Reva. An engaging read.
A novel, described on the jacket as meta fictional; by me as a unique mashup of fictional characters set in the reality of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Satirical and subtly humourous, probably less subtle in a different context. 4/5*’s
