Ok, I didn’t expect a story time on Saturday, but here we go. What I’m about to write is TRUE. It is insane, stupid, and very dumb, but it is true. Earlier today Donald J Trump, the p[resident of the United States, posted that he had offered the job of Press Secretary to Dana White. Well, it was the wrong Dana White… 🧵
Interesting... #TheWhiteHouse 2 different people named Dana White
One Woman, One Man, One Black, One White
Seems like the @WhiteHouse is reinforcing their scientifically inaccurate tweet...
However it shows how incompetent the #PedophileInChief actually is

Wear a poppy, but forget conveniently that Indigenous veterans never got a thing when returning, except the loss of their status. Punished for their service. Other soldiers got land and pensions. Let's not keep up the lies anymore, this is all a charade, especially today.🪶💯
Since Confederation, more than two million Canadians from every province and territory, including many Indigenous communities, have served at home and abroad in times of war and peace.
They served Canada. Now Canada serves them. Throughout Veterans' Week, Canadians will wear poppies, gather at cenotaphs and memorials, and remember.

When I contacted the @BlueJays to ask for a comment beyond the generic statement and asked if they had steps to address the hurt they have caused Muslim fans, VP of Baseball Comms (Adam Felton) said, "we have nothing further to share."

It's funny when the @WaffleHouse has more credibility than #TheWhiteHouse and the Pedophile in Chief

Johnny Depp was “accused” of punching, slapping, kicking, headbutting and choking Amber Heard. A judge found that 12 of the 14 alleged assaults had been proven. Yet we collectively blamed her, called her a liar, mocked her trauma, and turned her into a punchline. Too this day people still idolized him and vilified her. The way we treated Amber Heard should genuinely haunt us.

OK guys, I guess we aren't getting an update on the CFB Wainwright members in a critical condition
Three follow-up emails to the Department of National Defence on this have gone unanswered. We asked Premier Danielle Smith's office, who directed us to Acute Care Alberta. Acute Care Alberta directed us back to DND. The Prime Minister's Office directed us back to DND.
ICYMI: we asked for this update, along with updated patient numbers, on Sunday evening -- citing conflicting information in recent stories we'd seen. DND published a statement three days later, but it didn't include this information.

I was teaching a class on sex crimes at UC BERKELEY of all places (top public university in the world, average incoming GPA 4.4) and I asked the class, "Is consent automatically present if the couple is married?"
Pin drop silence. Most people looked confused.
This was 2013, and we were all young, but the class was full of right-tail minds, so I was shocked.
As you can see, people really do sometimes not know the conditions needed for consent and that's a HUGE problem.
So Russell Brand and a fan have consensual sex, but because he pulled it from her vagina and put it up her bum without consent that's rape? Have I got this right?
#RusselBrand
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Under UK law, consent to vaginal sex does not mean consent to anal sex. Non-consensual anal penetration is rape, as consent must be specific to each act and can be withdrawn at any time.

RoseAnne will be vindicated. The defendants are making this easy for her
RoseAnne Archibald's lawyer says the Assembly of First Nations and the other defendants named in a lawsuit over her ouster have not filed the required documents for discovery in her case. David Shiller says Archibald remains steadfast. aptnnews.ca?p=297386

This so much! Forgiveness culture is toxic. The patriarchal demand for women to remain accommodating, sweet, to be martyrs will never serve you. It's literally making women sick. Choose your peace, your disgust at being mistreated, you do not owe abusers & their allies shit.

An update on my follow-up at approx 2:30pm -- nearly three days after my question was submitted:
"We’ll get back to you once we have an update to share."
It’s been 2 days since we asked the Department of National Defence for an update on the number of injured still in hospital after the CFB Wainwright fire — mostly because there’s conflicting information in recent reporting on this. Wildly different numbers.
After follow-ups, we are told “we expect to be in a position to provide a confirmed update this week”

CFP Ranking Criteria (in order of importance):
1-Conference Logo
2-Team Logo
3-Quality Losses (losses to teams with the right conference logo)
4-Quality Wins (wins against teams with the right conference logo)
That's it. That's the criteria.

The public info sharing in this event, described by everyone up to the PM as a major tragic incident, stinks to high heaven. Ashleigh's efforts from the start to get the authorities to share pretty basic information are commendable.
