In search of the truth…

„Two of the 3 victims specifically singled out by the NYT in a marquee exposé published in December, which alleged that Hamas had deliberately weaponized sexual violence during the Oct. 7 attacks, were not in fact victims of sexual assault, according to the spokesperson for the Kibbutz Be’eri, which the Times identified as the location of the attack.“

It's despicable that the Alberta government is going to make us fight this all over again but FIGHT WE WILL. https://thenarwhal.ca/grande-cache-coal-mine-alberta/ #abpoli #SaveOurWater

Wow ... #CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which takes $1.5B taxpayer money per year) says killing of Palestinians doesn’t merit terms ‘murderous,’ ‘brutal’ In response to complaints about its coverage, because the killing of Palestinians happens “remotely”.

@BrianJopek @Npars01 I think you mis-spelled ‘too shitty’

#unpopularopinion Oppenheimer is only medium-good. SOME great acting … but also some terrible script/dialog. Not Best Picture worthy at all IMHO.

Wow do I love this …

Maybe this got #Shell nervous about #Nigeria:

A UK court ruled that "13,000 farmers and fishers from the Ogale and Bille communities in the Niger delta were entitled to bring legal claims against Shell for alleged breaches to their right to a clean environment.

The judge ruled it was arguable the pollution had fundamentally breached the villagers’ right to a clean environment under the Nigerian constitution and the African charter on human and people’s rights."

@MeeMee I would like to see mandatory screening for all students entering pharmacy study programs. If your religion will prevent you from filling any prescription, no admittance.

"What motivated them? I put the question to any number of historians of self-immolation, but the best answer came from a scholar based in Washington, D.C., Timothy Dickinson.

“Fire is the most dreaded of all forms of death,” he said, so “the sight of someone setting themselves on fire is simultaneously an assertion of intolerability and, frankly, of moral superiority. You say ‘I would never have the guts to do that...This isn’t insanity. It’s a terrible act of reason.”

Kids remember who killed their families. We are experiencing a mass radicalisation.

My friend, Elayne Boosler, wrote a wonderful piece on Richard Lewis in the L.A. Times after his sudden passing. It's so much better than the usual celebrity obit as it's personal and heartfelt, where you get a better understanding of who Richard Lewis was, not just his screen credits.

"The authors also show that the individual productivity improvements stagnate with increasing group size - in other words, above a specific team size (and it is rather small, approx. 10-15 people) almost no additional productivity gains can be observed."

Mulroney is the cause for the Bloc Québecois,s formation (ex federal Conservative MPs who split from Mulroney), as well as the Alberta right wing Reform part with Preston Manning (helped behind the scenes by Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld and Cheney's org "New American Century" who helped him setup party and policies).
Reform couldn't get all of Canada due to extreme policies, so they merged with what was left of Cnservatives to create the current party that uses the name "Conservative".

#COVID19 rapid tests still work against new variants – researchers keep ‘testing the tests,’ and they pass

"If you have symptoms, take a rapid test as soon as possible. If you test positive, you can be reasonably certain that you’re infected. If you’re negative, wait two days and test again."
