Cool, just go to the thread about Mayor Gondek being booed and you’ll have an easy to use blocklist of racists whiners.

I can totally see why @F1 didn’t want an extra team to come in and mess with the thrilling spectacle they’ve created. The excitement of today’s race was almost too much to take.

#BellLetsTalk about how fucking cynical and evil this company is to make this an annual cycle where there’s a purge within a week or two of running this grotesque PR stunt

Multiple sources tell me that tomorrow could be a very rough day at Bell Media. Word is multiple radio stations could be sold and or shuttered completely. I've heard as many as 50 could be effected. Word is staff meetings, shareholder and press releases to come in the am.

I appreciate the response, but it was no more helpful than the “call back another time” message I get when I call. The technology exists to make things easier for members.

Hi Kenton! Thanks for reaching out! We have sent you a message :)

I have reviewed the differences between the Lifeworks August 2023 and Morneau-Shepell April 2021 reports on an Alberta Pension Plan. Hat tip to @TheBreakdownAB for FOIPing it! Outside of the name of the company and the date, the two reports are largely the same.

A vulnerability in the way Google implements OAuth was disclosed publicly today and is still not fixed. It can let employees retain indefinite access to applications like Slack and Zoom after they're offboarded. Let's dig in:

What in the hell?! A group of cybercriminals has filed an SEC complaint against a company for not disclosing a data breach. Here's what we know and what this might mean for the future of ransomware:

From the DM's... After the UCP formed government in 2019, Travis Toews received an evaluation of the risks/benefits of an Alberta Pension Plan. The report highlighted extensive risks. It also projected assets and liabilities. We've received a copy of that report. /1 #abpoli

This decision has stripped clubs of a powerful community outreach tool and removed meaningful support for Special Initiatives, all to protect a select few who do not want to answer any questions about their choices. I hope the NHL reconsiders in order to remain a leader in DEI.
I am deeply disappointed in the NHL’s decision to ban on-ice support for community causes. The NHL has been an enthusiastic, invaluable supporter of a number of important causes and groups – to name just a few; Indigenous peoples, first responders, military heroes, cancer survivors, women in hockey, victims of civic disasters, people of color, and, of course, the LGBTQ+ community. This new league policy strips clubs and players of one of the most important and visible ways of supporting causes they care about. Let’s be clear: this is not inclusion or progress. This decision does not grow the game, and does not make our fans feel welcome. Fans look to teams and the league to show they are welcome, and this directive closes a door that’s been open for the last decade. We will not lose the incredible progress we’ve made in inclusion over the last decade, and we are counting on the League for continued support and leadership in this area. -Brian Burke
