Important but possibly unpopular thought: while I am v excited about new Fraggle Rock, the new theme song by Foo Fighters is awful. Nothing against the band generally, but yeesh, way to ruin something great.

Is Microsoft Word's auto-correct function homophobic? Transcribing some notes from a reading and clearly misspelled the word "queer" but the suggestions it presents me really seem to avoid the obviously correction.
Pretty disappointing to see @LethbridgeCity online form for registration believes there are only two genders that exist... hopefully this can be changed ASAP to avoid the continued erasure of those who identify otherwise. #YQL

@don_pittis... then go on to quote "MMT has been misunderstood as the idea that budget deficits don't matter and that you can spend as much as you want," said Donald." You must clearly see that your own voice is adding to the confusion around MMT when you frame it this way? 2/2
@don_pittis just want to point out the confusing contradiction in your article today, as you write "I first wrote about MMT as a radical idea that effectively offered a bottomless piggy bank for new government spending" ... 1/2
PROVINCE WIDE ANTI-UCP PROTEST THIS FRIDAY. Make your voice heard and tell these clowns you don't support their horrible mis-management of basically EVERYTHING in Alberta. Huge props to @criavolver for organizing this locally - 11am to 1pm here in #YQL BE THERE
@LethCityClerk I would like to attend the Pathway 24 presentation in person to physically demonstrate the cycling community's interest in the subject, but I understand there's 15 people max in council chambers. Is there space for me?

can any journo pals explain to me why news articles about (for example) a museum offering a new VR tour would not include a link to said VR tour in the article? is this somewhere in the CP manual or something? seems to be standard practice and always frustrates me.
Do you ever just take a sip of coffee in the morning and think "HOT DAMN THAT'S THE BEST THING I'VE EVER PUT IN MY MOUTH"

It's nice that @AndrewScheer is more concerned that emergency benefits satisfy what the *market* needs, rather than what humans need. #peoplenotprofits
If there's one thing I've learned from all this, it's that they're called Bernese Mountain Dogs, not Burmese. Like from Bern, Switzerland - not Burma. #smrt #themoreyouknow

Hey @Sportsnet this is cool - so you're going to do this all the time now, right? Because it would be hypocritical of you otherwise to just pretend that "one and done" is something you should actually celebrate. Aim for 50% of your broadcast crew female for EVERY game.
.@TaraSlone throws it over to @SNChrisSimpson, @CassieCampbell, and @leahhextall in the booth to welcome you to the first all-female broadcast for an NHL game on Sportsnet.
