Is the poor quality of the @cbc Opening Ceremonies #Olympics feed a secret funding stream? So many refreshes leading to extra ads.

Anyone know why we're not getting proper replays for today's @CFL game on @TSN_Sports ? It'd be interesting to see what @sskroughriders did (often wrong!) instead of random @Ticats standing on the sidelines.

Our society would be so different if folks deeply understood how temporary their current privilege and comfortable existence truly is. You're housed today. You're abled-bodied today. You're not marginalized today. Privilege shields today, but empathy protects tomorrow.

Iryna is a #Ukrainian #Refugee currently living in #Saskatoon #Canada. She's the sole provider for her family and now has stage 3 cancer, so she'll be off work for at least a while. Please help her if you're able, and share either way : https://t.co/go39HOK6mx

I really need the Loonie Hour podcasters to read and understand this. They keep missing an analysis that actually explains what's happening.

And they can even think it's a good thing, if they want to. It's not dependent on any of us liking it to be true though.

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

Giving workers modest sums to prevent them from starving during the lockdowns enraged #inflation hawks, who insist that improvements to workers' material lives will transform America into an amateur Weimar revival, with wheelbarrows of useless bank-notes. 1/

I can verify that she knows her Star Wars, and has the relevant experience to boot!

[Bad Baltic Takes @BadBalticTakes]

Estonia has decided.

A clear win for PM @kajakallas & staunchly pro-Ukraine policies.

Remember last year, Kremlin accounts spread a false story that she’d resign from a backlash to her support for Ukraine?

Well, she just received more votes than anyone in Estonian history.

@steven_seegel Future historians can only access it if it's properly archived. I recommend finding a relevant archive or two and setting something up right now, if you can, since digital preservation is very time-sensitive.

Today an Alberta lawyer argued that requiring lawyers to take an indigenous cultural course was the same as forcing indigenous children into residential schools and I’ve never heard a more powerful argument for requiring lawyers to take an indigenous cultural course. #ableg

@KimRiel1 At least it's not a 12 hour detour?

[Back On This App and It’s Still Hell @wickdchiq]

@tylermeredith I’ve never trusted the “polarization” narrative bc it became popular when marginalized communities started demanding our rights and for equity in politics, economics and society. I believe people are more dissatisfied with the status quo but that isn’t the same as polarization

@SEvacheski Yay!

Horrifying. I also can't figure out if we do this in Canada (my searches are coming up with general parole information and ... elementary school lunch supervision fees ... which is an odd association).

[Beth Shelburne @bshelburne]

People on parole in Alabama have to pay a $40 monthly “supervision fee” to their parole officer or they can be revoked & sent back to prison. Will be doing more reporting on this in 2023.

[J Staniec @fawkes40]

I'm not in health care but I am in public service and I try to think of this in every choice we make and system we implement.

⚡️Pink Floyd raises $600,000 for Ukraine.

If only there was some sort of seasonally appropriate story about the ills of one man having too much money and being awful to everyone.

[Tobias Thyberg @TobiasThyberg]

While #Russia terror bombs #Ukraine, Ukraine goes down to a metro station 90 meters underground to select its 2023 @Eurovision act. When will those brain-dead muderers get it: terror won’t subdue this people, because UKRAINE ONLY KNOWS HOW TO WIN!

We just got ours yesterday, right to our mailbox! Of course, it's pretty skinny now but I sent it to the archives anyway.

hard to believe there was once a time where they’d send a big yellow book to everyone’s house listing yours and everyone else’s assassination coordinates
