The Canadian province of Alberta, where I live, has more cases of measles than the entire US. Our premier and our provincial health minister are antivax and they have prevented public health officials from attempting to speak to the public about the measles outbreak or recommending vaccinations.

The province has also decimated our public health infrastructure. This was a campaign promise of the UCP government, both as punishment for mask mandates, and to make sure no organization could ever have authority to require masks or vaccines again.

"The #Jewish population is now nonexistent, but for thousands of years the #Jews of #Libya lived under the rule of the #Greeks, #Romans, #OttomanEmpire, #Italian, #British and #Arabs. In 1911, they made up roughly 4% of the #Libyan population. In 1938, “race protection laws” banned Jews from sending their children to school, working in skilled professions or intermarrying. Later the community was divided and sent to concentration camps across #Europe and #NorthAfrica.

In the years following World War II, the remaining Libyan Jews were forced to emigrate, leaving just 100 in 1969 and none at all by 2004. Many went to #Israel and many to #Rome, adding to the spread and diversity of Libyan and North African Jewish #cooking. Today we enjoy such dishes as #mafrum (stuffed #potatoes), #couscous and #chraime (a spicy #fish #stew). Learning about these #foods helps us to understand our people."

If you are tired
(and you probably are)
of having to explain to people
why you are still
wearing a mask
feel feee to take
the changing temperature
as an opportunity
to tell them
you are wearing it
to keep your nose warm.

I’ve been having a recurring dream about forgetting to pay the rent on my rarely used CBD office, and—turning up one day to find the entire place gone, replaced by several new businesses—having to investigate what happened to all my furniture and computers.

I’ve never had a CBD office. The walls between worlds are thinning again. I noticed a patch of mist last night. Just quietly, you should stock up on essentials; I think we’re headed for another lockdown.

I've tried using wine on Ubuntu but I just can't make it work.

A rare interview with the creators of the always-funny, always-brilliant, and *usually*-sexy—or occasionally anti-sexy—OGLAF! Cooper has kept a low profile over the years, but is legitimately one of the very best artists in comics today. Read OGLAF if you're old enough to drive!
