The #yyc “Celebration for the Arts” event at Jack Singer was such a lively and unexpectedly wholesome evening.

Thank you @jqkeys for inviting me to things & generally just being a very wonderful human etc 🫶

The photo reveals the packed interior of Jack Singer Concert Hall a large theatre in Mohkinstsis/Calgary, AB. The view is from an angle near the back, showcasing a grand stage with a high ceiling. The ceiling has wooden panels arranged in a geometric pattern. The Calgary Stampede Showband fills two aisles towards the stage, noticeable from their matching white cowboy hats. There are vibrant stage lights in shades of blue and purple illuminating the stage area. A large screen on the stage reads "Grand Finale."

"Our 'rich get richer' economic system concentrates wealth & power to a massive extent. We're NOT all in this together. One class of people can buy their way out of anything. You can barely imagine a more toxic thing to do to community solidarity & democracy but that's exactly what we've done."

" #TaxCuts for very rich people leads to less revenue then cuts to the public sector. This is presented as being 'inevitable' but it's a choice which leads to a decline in quality & accessibility of public services. Then governments swoop in to offer #privatization as a viable alternative."

In the hot minute I've been taking a social media hiatus plenty has happened. Including Alberta's provincial government meddling in municipal affairs. Again.

🚴 Bike lanes hate this time.

Not a cent of provincial money went to building Edmonton's bike lanes, Dreeshan is still upset about them because the province "provides funding for other municipal roads".

"A lot of us are expressing shock and disbelief and questioning 'how on earth did we get here?' It's important to recognize that much of what we're seeing now is an entirely predictable outcome of our political/economic system of neoliberal capitalism. This was bound to happen and now here we are!"

New open-access paper! A team including Dr. Darla Zelenitsky (UCalgary) describes Duonychus tsogtbaatari, a bizarre two-fingered therizinosaur from Cretaceous Mongolia. Its huge claws and reduced fingers provide new insight into theropod evolution and forelimb reduction. Exceptional fossil preservation even shows the keratin sheath on the claws!

Painting of a Duonychus in a forest. The forest looks quite tropical and dense. The Duonychus is covered in fine feathers with longer feathers on the forelimbs. It's using its two giant claws on each hand to pull the leaves in towards its mouth.
A skeletal of Duonychus, showing which elements of the skeleton were found and which are inferred. The found bones include many in the hip, the back, and the forelimbs / claws. Surrounding the illustration are pictures of the fossil bones themselves.
A closeup illustration of the hands of Duonychus. It has only two fingers, each with enormous claws.

"Our current global economic model which is increasingly shrinking the world's middle class, making the poor poorer, the rich richer and the world increasingly on fire is just ONE now demonstrably failing human made system. Others have existed before & will do so again. We're way past due." #

"It's always easy to shrug things off by saying 'well that's just how things have always been' except, when it comes to our entirely human constructed global economic system it's categorically untrue. It has NOT always been like this. In 2025 better models need exploring, like the #WellBeingEconomy

"This is not what a resilient system looks like and the outcomes of each crash reveals further weaknesses within that system, especially as it relates to #Inequality, environmental devastation and of course to the challenge far more massive than any economic system: #ClimateChange."
