@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.
@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.
@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.
@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.
@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?
(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.
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.
