Academic governance wonk, but this is my personal Twitter account; any views are my own (at best). For work stuff see @senate_ubc. RT are most likely misclicks.

Look this isn’t negotiable: either you meant to say biscotto or you owe me another cookie.

Hey @GlobalBC @globalnews do you have any idea what bad taste it is to click on your story on the explosion at @BowinnMa constituency office only to be greeted with an ad for @PlutoTV "feel the explosive action"?? Have some sensitivity with your ad algorithms.

@ParlCharlie I'm not sure what to make of the dichotomy of a place where the boss has his own scotch bottling having a dry holiday party

@legalstyleblog important question: Do English and Australian McDonald's have Lord Mayors McCheese?

@IRPlawyer I mean it would explain why all the villains are sectioned at Arkham under the Gotham mental health act instead of being convicted.

@DrKarenPinder But I'm not fabulous enough to wear (fake) fur at any other time

Oh fuck you cancer

@marktmaclean @chadskelton Currently that's 4 mind you.

@DrKarenPinder Then again I also asked the anesthesiologist to take picture during my craniotomy so maybe I'm just disturbed generally

[Chris Eaton @actuallyeaton]

@DrKarenPinder I morbidly always ask for them to adjust me/the monitor so i can watch the whole procedure because it's fascinating

[Chris Eaton @actuallyeaton]

@DrKarenPinder Reeeeeeeelly department dependent (in fairness I was there yesterday)

[Chris Eaton @actuallyeaton]

@DrKarenPinder @PeakedPies I hope you also didn't pick the lemon flavored polyethylene glycol...

[Chris Eaton @actuallyeaton]

For the love of... please stop posting photos of your marked ballots, people. It's illegal (almost eveywhere) for really good reasons...

[Chris Eaton @actuallyeaton]

@DrKarenPinder That is in fact what they do if you press the issue with them. But apparently you also get on some sort of list for being an cooperative/noncompliant patient

[Chris Eaton @actuallyeaton]

@DrKarenPinder Inconveniencing tens of thousands of people is considered worth it rather than letting somebody accidentally stumble in front of a car on 10th Ave. The question is by worth it do they mean the pain for the person's family or the inconvenience for the hospital administrators.
