Funranium (AKA Phil Broughton): For everyone saying “Wow, we needed this rain” be the guy saying “FRIENDS, DO NOT BECOME ADDICTED. YOU WILL RESENT ITS ABSENCE.”

Whenever it rains in the desert all characters should at all times be exclaiming "wow, we really needed this," over the klaxon sound of flash flood warnings hitting every device in the room.

This also should be proclaiming to the sky “FOR HE IS THE KWISATZ HADERACH!!!”

For everyone saying “Wow, we needed this rain” be the guy saying “FRIENDS, DO NOT BECOME ADDICTED. YOU WILL RESENT ITS ABSENCE.”

Oh. You've been to Alberta, I see. This appears to be our drought management strategy. We've spent 2024 at 4/5 for a water shortage emergency and the government has said absolutely nothing about it publicly. Just the drought website.

Danielle Smith: Trudeau wants Albertans to have teeth and I won’t stand for that

Danielle Smith: Trudeau wants Albertans to have teeth and I won't stand for thatwww.thebeaverton.com “I'd rather personally pull the teeth out of the mouth of every low income Albertan than let [Trudeau] pay for them to see a dentist.”

I have not seen the teeth one, and I laughed without even clicking through.

I very rarely click through. The headlines have been so on point lately... also Danielle Smith has been giving us loads of Disney Villain material to work with.

That's awful, but not especially surprising given what very little I know of Alberta and it's politics. Many sympathies from Western Australia.

ah, yes, our kin across the earth. solidarity
