@billielanderson @ChevalierOwen Likewise as a driver (who doesn't want to hit cyclists) the worst thing about cyclists is their unpredictability maneuvering in open traffic. Protected bike lanes also make the cyclists more predictable and make driving less stressful!

Last year, the Make-a-Wish Foundation announced that kids with cystic fibrosis would no longer automatically qualify for a wish.

This was, actually, a good thing—a great thing even!

@floragillespie @ffsyyc @InamTeja What other reasons did rents go down for that didn't exist in similar cities?

[Matthew Patterson @ThatMattPatt]

@ffsyyc @InamTeja @floragillespie In Minneapolis it led to a large increase in housing construction compared to peer cities, which has led to much cheaper rents!

@notzohaibahmed Glad you at least watched some of it, but I still can't agree. It's the perfect combination of high concept and low concept. It's quite literally stupidly smart

If you're a law student, apply! It's the best job in the world and there's no harm in throwing your name in the ring!

Last night's final jeopardy category was NEW ZEALAND and one contestant couldn't even think of one New Zealand. Shameful

As much as the decision to pull Berrios is absolutely and irrefutably horrible, you will not win a playoff series by scoring 1 run over 2 games

I’ve started putting my degree to good use by doing some policy work on affordable housing and homelessness with @calgarydropin! They’ve let me blog about why we need a policy approach to these problems: https://t.co/JmsJmLPOcv

@billielanderson Also discovered this today! Raina spent 20 minutes on the platform trying to get her sister to union for an 8:30 via train. In what world do people not need to go places before 8am on a Sunday??

I have to think there's more people cheering for the panthers in Toronto tonight than all of Florida, not that that's a high bar

Also mixing up developing countries, which he does in this tweet, is literally a joke about rich people in the first one. Maybe the writing's not so far fetched Benny?

GLASS ONION SPOILERS

The best part of this thread is that not only does he have no idea how a mystery movie works, he has no idea how politics works. "I approved a dangerous powerplant because my friend, who I knew was a fraud, bribed me to" is not a great campaign speech

Birdie would immediately become a famous social justice warrior, wiping out any Malaysian sweatshop problems; Claire would become president; Peg or Whiskey would become famous; Lionel would become a virtuous whistleblower.
