Recognize culture war profiteers and regard them with skepticism. It is okay to speak with nuance, and with people you don’t agree with.

@dfovancouver Yes, new era, it's time. Maybe they need time to find it, but by the end of the season gotta transition away from the old. And intro music - save "Where the Streets Have No Name" for the playoffs. Something new for regular season until then (will be awhile).

@thomaschattwill Looks a lot quieter there than in August - are the cruise ships still pulling up or can you find places to take photos with no people in them in the daytime as well?

@coldxman @SwipeWright We’re talking public schools, though, right? Is it really an impossibility to have them be of roughly equivalent quality nationwide?

@TerribleMaps New Zealand is present.

@JonahDispatch Canada is enormous, and the US military would be thrown into an asymmetrical guerrilla war quagmire that would drain the country of resources a la Russia in Ukraine, Soviets in Afghanistan, the US in Afghanistan, US in Vietnam, Napoleon in Spain, England in America, etc. etc.

@RadioFreeTom @CathyYoung63 *allies now think, correctly, that you are led by a lunatic.

@amazingmap @TerribleMaps approves, I suspect.

@JillFilipovic The word “still” is doing a lot of work in that sentence, I’m afraid.

@aziz0nomics @pemipaull Is it not true to say though that that is rather when Palestine *would have become a country, had they not rejected the division plan at the end of the mandate and instead attacked Israel? I support a two state solution, but historically it is always Arabs who have not, no?

@ThomasDrance Congrats on the extension, Drancer, and finding work/life balance. Have no ask, though, does this mean no more PDO Sunday Specials with Dim, or…? (Because those have been appointment listening - smartest pod content anywhere in hockey, and about the most entertaining as well).

@jessesingal @HistoryBoomer Did you have ćevapi?

[Random Scrub @randomscrub23]

@baxtefer @BenLypka This sounds correct to me. As I understand it, you’re legally obligated to defend a trademark, otherwise you could lose it.

@HardcoreHistory This is a bit of a 1%’er, but iykyk.

@LifeInVanCity @iamkennethchan @KenSimCity The parking lot?

@ThomasDrance A) good to know

B) it’s this tweet that made me look into it further and realize I hadn’t previously caught the difference between 70mm IMAX and digital IMAX and now realize why tickets were easier to book than I had thought. Damn.

@AbdullahIhsanAI @GlobalBoxOffice It’s not even so much that it’s is AI that’s putting the images on screen, it’s that the writing, art direction, set design, costuming, cinematography, and of course acting aren’t there. One (usually amateur) person using AI is very unlikely be able to match all those skill sets.
