I didn’t expect the tyrants to be so dumb.

@johnsemley3000 I have trauma from watching it. It’s the only movie I can think of that viscerally upset me.

Calling politicians weird because they’re out of touch and don’t know how to relate to people is unfair to the true freaks.

As always, reading about a tragedy can't prepare you for seeing it.

Brutal, heart-breaking images coming out from Jasper.

Here's a post with more visuals on what's been lost so far. #yeg #yyc #ableg #cdnpoli

Great news (though why on Earth did this take 3 years?)

I’ve been thinking a lot about how this show had a crisis and came back feeling like a fresh and renewed version of itself.

Other shows have fall apart under similar circumstances.

That’s a feat!

1) Exclusive: Afters targeting businesses, Quebec's French-language inspectors are now shifting their focus to inspecting hospitals in Montreal. See my story below.

A perfect encapsulation of Twitter is that virtually all mentions of Kamala Harris going to school in Montreal come from people complaining about not wanting to hear that Kamala Harris went to school in Montreal.

1) Breaking: Quebec last year reported the biggest single increase in doctors quitting the public system to charge patients for a wide range of procedures that would normally be covered under medicare, especially for hip and joint replacements. See below.👇https://t.co/ZrqhMPRvkG

devastating day for people who say presidential debates don't matter

Every scene with a Fak is straight up comedy. But even the heavy stuff has comedic beats. Like when Mikey and Richie are trying to decide what to do when Tina’s crying in the restaurant, it’s funny! It would be as or even more funny if Tina was rich.

… but also because it’s very funny and full of jokes

[John Attridge @John_Attridge]

The Bear is classified as a comedy because its characters are "low" or "common" folk who aren't suitable for tragic representation. Hope this helps

[Kevin’s not here @SoundOfSexton]

@hamiltonguy Absolutely. But even the episode with Sugar going into labour, which was very heavy, was also full of comedic beats

[Heidi Matthews @Heidi__Matthews]

The ICJ determined Israel's occupation of Gaza, the West Bank & East Jerusalem *as a single territorial unit* is illegal by examining Israel's policies and practices in place before Oct 7. But the Court was clear that Israel's assault on Gaza is *part of* of the occupation. 🧵

If you listen to any episode of our show, make it this one.

Canadian writers are withdrawing their books from consideration for the biggest literary prize in Canada. Today, I talked to @omarelakkad about it.

Will never listen to a Cigarettes After Sex song because they wouldn't have called themselves that if they wanted me to hear their music.

Included in this episode: a great idea for a crime novel set at the hot air balloon festival in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu

Our Crook Manifesto: delivering another episode that's so good, it should be criminal 😏 We return to two-time Pulitzer winner Colson Whitehead for the follow-up to Harlem Shuffle. Listen up! https://t.co/TztaS0mNgm

@kelseyarolfe I really like Trint

Good thread.

I don't understand when people say the suburbs aren't walkable. Growing up in Chateauguay, Quebec, you could walk to the field and get shot with a pellet gun. You could walk to the railroad tracks and get drunk. You could walk to the swamp. So much walking opportunity!
