[Christopher Scott @ChrisCScott]

@spencerkeys Oh do y’ now? This is of interest.

[Christopher Scott @ChrisCScott]

@spencerkeys I’m willing to give it a whirl.

[Christopher Scott @ChrisCScott]

@akurjata I’d be willing to give it a whirl.

@Darcy13Lindberg “A million!”

@CBA_News Congratulations @KyleBienvenu!

@JanzenBrycen It’s toad in a hole or eggs in a basket over here. (I am aware that toad in a hole is a sausage dish. Nevertheless,)

[Christopher Scott @ChrisCScott]

@moebius_strip The responses to the quoted tweet are challenging to one’s faith in humanity and an indictment of rather a lot of people at a fundamental level.

[Christopher Scott @ChrisCScott]

@dtgill Finally, a correct take on Twitter.

[Christopher Scott @ChrisCScott]

@JoshuaHCameron @GraceALore I could be wrong, as that explanation makes very little sense to me, but it’s the only one I could think of.

[Christopher Scott @ChrisCScott]

@JoshuaHCameron @GraceALore Took me a second as well, but I believe the complaint is that “BCUP” looks like “B cup”, a measurement of bra size, which is being read as a trivialization of the party on gendered grounds.

[Christopher Scott @ChrisCScott]

@moebius_strip Maybe I am misreading your comment or missing some context, and I don’t mean to be snarky, but it seems to me that they did explain this in the linked thread, which remains near the top of their profile.

[Christopher Scott @ChrisCScott]

@moebius_strip More broadly, and this is more a matter of opinion, I think that moving from a world where reputable orgs need to be on Twitter to one where they don’t is probably a net positive. I’m hesitant to endorse a claim that, by withdrawing, CBC has failed in some sort of duty.

[Christopher Scott @ChrisCScott]

@moebius_strip Dunno about this one. CBC’s objection, as I understand it, is that Twitter explicitly uses the label to warn users that governments may have a degree of editorial control. Which, like… of course that’s the insinuation, otherwise why flag it?

[CBC/Radio-Canada @CBCRadioCanada]

(1/3) Twitter’s own policy defines government-funded media as cases where the government “may have varying degrees of government involvement over editorial content,” which is clearly not the case with CBC/Radio-Canada.

@CityofBurnaby What number should we call?

When I call my local community centre, I receive an automated message that it isn’t taking calls right now. Phone lines appear to be closed.

[Christopher Scott @ChrisCScott]

Thank goodness. The registration experience with @CityofBurnaby's WebReg system is consistently terrible - mainly because it's unreliable, slow, awkward to navigate, has limited capacity, and is error-prone, particularly when under load. I cannot wait for its demise.

[City of Burnaby @CityofBurnaby]

Later this year, we will roll out a new system we believe will improve registration and provide the kind of service our residents expect.

[Christopher Scott @ChrisCScott]

There is so much happening in this tweet, not least of which being the bashful “promoted” badge at the bottom.
