Can't remember if this was posted on Mastodon or I found it elsewhere but it sure is interesting and makes the brain hurt thinking about it all.
<< A competing theory to 'dark energy' suggests the universe has different time zones >>
I have always had a feeling that Dark Energy was not the answer. But what do I know, I barely got a physics 'O' Level in the UK.

Today we’ve got the Stuart McLean-Margaret Atwood fan-fiction I mentioned last week. I’m not sure it’s what The CBC Short Story Prize was looking for but the week after a Canadian federal election shaped by annexation threats, I thought a few of you might enjoy reading it.

Well, the numbers aren't what I'd hoped for, but not so bad either from my perspective.
The final word isn't written though: One of the commentators on #CBCradio made the important point that some of the Atlantic ridings that were initially blue have turned red once the advance ballots were all counted; that will presumably happen elsewhere in Canada as well, later in the night.
Listening to #CBCradio this morning... Did #MarkCarney really refer to Saskatoon as "the Paris of the Prairies"? Or did I misunderstand?
The attack ads write themselves: "Mark Carney — does he know where he is? Or does he just hate Winnipeg? How can we trust this man to defend Canada?"
Update: Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, https://www.hipmuseum.com/wheat.html
Eternal sigh.

Good to hear the #PaulChiang story with the lead on #CBCRadio news this morning. Here it is, if you're unaware: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberal-paul-chiang-bounty-joe-tay-conservative-1.7496751
"GTA Liberal candidate apologizes for suggesting people claim China's bounty on Conservative"
Mr. Chiang ought to drop out; the Liberals ought to expel him; any voters who support him ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Listening to #CBCRadio this morning, they were discussing strategic voting for people who lean #NDP. I don't have any philosophical objection to strategic voting — so long as you only cast a ballot for someone you wouldn't be ashamed to have as your MP. It's strange though to hear it raised by NDP supporters at this point. Don't people realise that at present the Liberals have very strong odds of winning #elxn45? @338Canada gives 1% odds of a #Conservative gov't. Why not vote your preference?
Over on Bluesky I was reminded that people have a hate on for #RosemaryBarton so I will remind people that #CPAC and #CBCRadio as well as the commercial stations like #CTV and #Global are also alternatives. #FundTheCBC
@GottaLaff This is why #canada needs to invest in #CBCRadio #cdnpoli #america might want to consider some donations too. :hmmyes:
@Compassionatecrab @GottaLaff Tune into #cbc #cbcradio or download #environment Canada app. It’s all free!
For anyone who celebrated World Radio Day yesterday, who might want to know a bit more about radio in this country (especially CBC Radio), there is a book about that very subject you might be interested in. Just saying. :-)

The CBC Overton slide has put them behind Al Jazeera on the truth scale. Trump did NOT ask, he commanded his fascist order.
I also turned off #CBCRadio because the Frontburner show was running a sly anti-Carney show.
#CBC
We use to be so close. Now I can barely tell you from Postmedia Propaganda.
Note that CBC still links to sXitter and Fascistbook...

in the process of making a mixtape, i found and digitized some old cassettes from my high school years. this one is a 1985 recording from the show "brave new waves" on cbc radio, back when it was hosted by brent bambury. it's a profile on the band fad gadget. https://archive.org/details/fad-gadget-profile-bnw-1985

#CBCradio is a particularly egregious offender, having had decades of practise erasing and dehumanizing Indigenous people while running interference for the ongoing "cultural" genocide project that is so-called "Canada".
Think of Israhell as the colonizer "bad cop" and Clanada the colonizer "good cop" - while seeming to behave very differently, they're ultimately both just deceitful genocidal land-thieving pigs.
Some very thorough work peeling back the mask:
