Just a dumb jock who would prefer Alberta to be less terrible. Treaty 7. He/Him.

Poilievre is going to talk a lot about the “Justin’s debt” in the coming days, so remember that Canada has the *lowest* debt-to-GDP in the G7.

@SimJoeMoore @MalwareTechBlog @elonmusk You mean this engagement?

[Carl Boucher @CarlBoucherKnee]

@elonmusk Not a complaint. More of an observation really.

Imagine tweeting a picture of a bunch of internal combustion cars stuck in the snow to try to “own” electrics.

[Theo Fleury @TheoFleury14]

Electric cars don’t work in this!!!!

@WBrettWilson @DisneyPlus I like to save money by getting taxpayers to cleanup my orphan wells for me.

[Carl Boucher @CarlBoucherKnee]

@CofRedCentral @NapsAndSarcasm @stuckncalgary That’s a Mastodon instance with some branding, though.

[Carl Boucher @CarlBoucherKnee]

Okay, the time has come for difficult questions:

[Carl Boucher @CarlBoucherKnee]

@hyoukaxrox I’m okay with the interface being different. I mean: it’s a different platform, so yeah. I’ve also heard speed is the result of the “instance” you choose and the popular ones are getting crushed.

[Carl Boucher @CarlBoucherKnee]

@yul_native Yeah. This is what I hear a lot. It only seems difficult because it’s different. Someone said “instances” are like email addresses. You can choose gmail or Yahoo (or Hotmail, if you’re my dad), but you can still send and receive email from anyone.

[Carl Boucher @CarlBoucherKnee]

@TKoobaan But isn’t counter just a “branded” Mastodon?

[Carl Boucher @CarlBoucherKnee]

@Cherylmcl57 I lean this way, but am always open to being swayed by a good argument.

[Carl Boucher @CarlBoucherKnee]

@rebelliousDB My brother, I would be a liar if I said I didn’t legitimately consider Tumblr for an hour or so.

[Carl Boucher @CarlBoucherKnee]

I mean: I’ve watched some walkthroughs on Mastodon and it doesn’t seem that much harder than changing the battery in your smoke detector.

Which reminds me: daylight savings. Time to change the batteries in the smoke detector!

[Carl Boucher @CarlBoucherKnee]

I’m interested in the rationales for “stay put”. And “Mastodon’s different” or “signup requires extra steps” don’t really count (why would it be the same?)

[Carl Boucher @CarlBoucherKnee]

@hyoukaxrox I have a bad feeling about Dorsey, though. Like, very-not-good.

[Carl Boucher @CarlBoucherKnee]

@sunlorrie Yes. These people you’ve been championing are violent radicals. Glad to see you come in finally.

Does Ontario need to pass some back-to-work legislation to get Doug Ford to show up for his job?

@WBrettWilson @JustinTrudeau Washed up old man retweets washed up old man. Film at eleven.

@franco_nomics @nationalpost Harper spent that much on just limos alone.
