@SallyAbbott3 @_pem_pem Most of the information on TikTok about ADHD is misinformation, like this video. Most of what she says is factually incorrect.

[P.E. Moskowitz @_pem_pem]

the desire to classify oneself as more oppressed/atypical in order to justify one's (legitimate) struggles sets up a binary in which most of the world is NOT oppressed and thus not deserving of care. thus, identity-based ~progressivism~ is revanchist and regressive at its core :)

The comments in the thread on Reddit are also very positive

@jamesocromwell Just writing to say that 7,000 people voted in agreement on Reddit that you're very talented and your character's eulogy in the last episode was written and embodied flawlessly. People have probably already sent this to you, but just in case

Former Mayor John Sewell showed courage today as he stood up for democracy and public service. I am calling on the Ford government to do the same.

[Jessica Bell @JessicaBellTO]

Former Mayor John Sewell is disrupting proceedings because he has been denied the right to speak to Bill 23, one of many people who have been denied. #onpoli @SteveClarkPC - I am calling on you to extend the hearings.

@VisaCA @human_i_t What am I supposed to do? I can't keep calling for hours a day every day. I asked @RBC, and their advise by direct message was just to keep calling. I also tried a secure message, but got no reply (it's been months).

[Katie @kmeyerTO]

@VisaCA @human_i_t Hi there! There are charges I don't recognize on my RBC visa card, and I can't get through to anyone on the phone. I've tried for weeks. Even when I select the call back option, when I'm called back I'm put on hold and then am told that call volume is too high.

@AppleSupport Are we supposed to update our macbooks TO monterey? I'm on catalina now. I can't find a separate safari update anywhere

[Katie @kmeyerTO]

@RBC I can't get to the rewards for a credit card I have - it just keeps taking me to the rewards for a credit line I don't use. When I select 'go to rewards' underneath the credit card, I'm redirected to the RBC Rewards URL for the credit line - with no option to switch accounts

It’s been four years since I last published fiction, which makes it that much sweeter to have a new story in the latest issue of @Southern_Review. Big thanks to @sachaidell and the SR team for giving “Pirates” a home.

@caitiedelaney did you just type "monkey with ribbons" into dall-e?

@koodo 90% of my calls yesterday and today have failed. They only go through from one specific spot in my apartment (if I'm lucky), and the touch tone functionality doesn't work (press 1 for...). You charge me $110 a month - is this a service outage? What's going on?

[Katie @kmeyerTO]

Did you know that Canada and South Africa are trading disaster risk reduction knowledge, to save lives and save money on future recovery? Me neither! Cool round table at #gp2022 on now: https://t.co/CAfGvNInbc #cdnpoli

The idea that an 18-year-old can walk into a store and buy assault weapons is just wrong.

What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?

Nations are nowhere on their climate commitments, and too few journalists are holding them accountable

@JILLSLASTWORD @Budget @Avis I think it would be a good idea to require all rental cars to have show tires after Dec 15 - dangerous otherwise! I don't want to be out there driving if there are visiting tourists without snow tires. Charging extra for them also incentivizes unsafe behaviour.

[Katie @kmeyerTO]

@Budget @Avis Do any of your outlets in Toronto offer snow tires without an extra fee? Also, @JILLSLASTWORD, why is it legal to rent cars without snow tires in the winter?
