Making things

[Derek Harrison @DerekGHarrison]

@anne_theriault I just said almost exactly this to my partner.

[Derek Harrison @DerekGHarrison]

@oldenoughtosay Yes and pretty much the entire house, all parties, cheered for said nazi.

[Derek Harrison @DerekGHarrison]

@joeolivermd I wish I could make it to Hamilton!

@RadicalBrewingM @Fuggled I'm curious to know if this is true. Both beers are readily available here in Ontario.

[Derek Harrison @DerekGHarrison]

Why do they call it Dad Rock and not Pop Pop?

[Derek Harrison @DerekGHarrison]

@BeerGirlCA Yes! I tried to ring this bell 5 or 6 years ago with a 2000+ word feature on the WPG scene written for Mash Magazine, but they never printed a third issue so nobody ever read it. Even then, with all the breweries basically still brand new, the standard of quality was 👌.

BREAKING: Ontario loses the 2022 provincial election

[@realSarahPolley (she/her) @realsarahpolley]

This is a nightmare for the kids of this province. #OntarioElection

Almost every word in this sentence is a genre.

I’m probably gonna die on this boring hill but: we need media literacy to be taught in K-12 and beyond. It needs to be part of how you learn to read and write at this point, how you consume, research, and communicate information. The stakes are too high to wait

Congratulations to the next leader of the CPC, the guy on the bathroom sign.

I know Twitter gets the bad rap for being toxic, but suggesting on Facebook that acts of racism should be avoided really pissed people off.

[Derek Harrison @DerekGHarrison]

I was going to attach an NP headline to this tweet, but honestly any one will do. Take your pick.

[Derek Harrison @DerekGHarrison]

Fuck the National Post.

[Mark Bourrie @MarkBourrie]

Ontario is sure paying a high price for its prejudice against a lesbian premier.

[Derek Harrison @DerekGHarrison]

Ban crypto.

[Digiconomist @DigiEconomist]

Some statistics to start the year:

During 2021 Bitcoin consumed 134 TWh in total, which is comparable to the electrical energy consumed by a country like Argentina.

Related CO2 emissions were ~64 Mt; enough to negate the entire global net savings from deploying EVs.

Turns out capitalism doesn't work.

And, also, not offering Covid another opportunity to mutate into yet another variant.

[Derek Harrison @DerekGHarrison]

And not getting who-knows-how-many other people sick in the process (inevitably not all of them with only "mild" symptoms).

[Peter Phinney @phinney35]

You know what’s better than getting mild symptoms from an Omicron infection?

Not getting sick.
