'Albertans are angry': tearful Danielle Smith reflects on referendum

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith became emotional while speaking Saturday during a virtual conference about the upcoming referendum. The event, put on by former federal Conservative leader Preston Manning, aimed to provide more information before the vote. Smith said it's important to understand the frustrations felt by Albertans, that has led to this moment.

Define #crocodileTears

An aggressor's sadness, fake or cluelessly entitled, because their aggression backfired

Example:

#Afroman's "Lemon Pound Cake" mocked a #police raid on his home (resulting in no charges)

They sued

Because "waah, my feelings"

One of the officers "cried" on the stand

Afroman won

And congratulations Afroman for reigniting your career

"I got the right to kick a can in my backyard, use my #freedomOfSpeech, turn my bad times into a good time"

“But if we have to respect #copyright and seek informed specific #consent when we grab data for training our #GenAI system, how can we possibly extract #monopoly profit!?”

Same tone as

“But if we have to respect #copyright and grant the same #SoftwareFreedom in the #copyleft works we redistribute to others, how can we possibly extract #monopoly profit!?”

Don't be fooled by the #CrocodileTears when big-tech bullies complain they need to violate the rights of others. The answer is: “You can't.”

Oh no! The outright oligarchists are fighting with the closet supremacists as the world makes it so hard for them all to pretend they are all just harmless old*fash*ioned conservatives. 😥

I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale @thehill. Which is about as believable as:

@junesim63 This is how they think. There’s no crime until you’re caught. #crocodiletears #Vennells #PaulaVenal more like.

Yesterday I received a text message from ATT apologizing for the service outage last week, saying they will try to do better. Today my husband, Jim, received an apology with an offer of $5 credit for the trouble. If any lawyers organize a class action lawsuit against ATT for the hassle, wasted work and inconvenience, I’ll join. #ATTapology #crocodiletears #lawsuitnow #hackingorincompetance

Portland Commissioner and mayoral hopeful Rene Gonzalez recently said that he would temporarily stop using public transit after he alleged that a woman “accosted” him aboard a MAX train, including subjecting him to “deliberate, unwanted physical contact.”

Video obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive shows that the woman may have at most brushed Gonzalez’s arm as she moved to the front of the nearly empty train car, where, according to the commissioner, she began criticizing him over the city’s homelessness policies.

Footage of the Jan. 26 encounter, captured on a pair TriMet cameras, also does not appear to substantiate his assertion that the woman intentionally “bumped” into him twice, a claim Gonzalez made to police on the day of the incident and then to news outlets a week later on Feb. 2.

• Portland Commissioner Rene Gonzalez says he faced ‘deliberate, unwanted physical contact’ aboard a MAX train. Here’s what video shows

• Rene Gonzalez celebrated his election victory by boosting a Patriot Prayer member.
• Jeremy Christian—a neo nazi who murdered two people in a racist attack on PDX public transit—was also a Patriot Prayer member.

∴ Rene Gonzalez should be ashamed to publicly complain about being frightened on PDX public transit.

#crocodiletears for the weekend:

Travis Kalanick (of #Uber infamy) new venture Cloud Kitchens, that offers the infrastructure for the exploitative world of the 'dark kitchen' for #fooddelivery, has had close a number of its locations as it seems its business model does not appeal.... good news for kitchen workers fearing a further uber-isation of their casualised, zero-hours contract exploitative working environment - not that this will solve the problem(s).

People with ‘crocodile tears syndrome’ cry while eating because damaged nerves activate their tear glands as well as their salivary glands.

People with ‘crocodile shoes syndrome’ find themselves inexplicably drawn to the musical works of Jimmy Nail.
