@JanzenBrycen It’s toad in a hole or eggs in a basket over here. (I am aware that toad in a hole is a sausage dish. Nevertheless,)

@moebius_strip The responses to the quoted tweet are challenging to one’s faith in humanity and an indictment of rather a lot of people at a fundamental level.

@dtgill Finally, a correct take on Twitter.

@JoshuaHCameron @GraceALore I could be wrong, as that explanation makes very little sense to me, but it’s the only one I could think of.

@JoshuaHCameron @GraceALore Took me a second as well, but I believe the complaint is that “BCUP” looks like “B cup”, a measurement of bra size, which is being read as a trivialization of the party on gendered grounds.

I’m not really sure what to say, Renee BC New Democratic Party = BCNDP BC United Party = BCUP I have dedicated a lot of my life to supporting survivors & addressing GBV - this attack on me is NONSENSE. If you want to talk about the REAL issues on gender equity, count me in.

@moebius_strip Maybe I am misreading your comment or missing some context, and I don’t mean to be snarky, but it seems to me that they did explain this in the linked thread, which remains near the top of their profile.

@moebius_strip More broadly, and this is more a matter of opinion, I think that moving from a world where reputable orgs need to be on Twitter to one where they don’t is probably a net positive. I’m hesitant to endorse a claim that, by withdrawing, CBC has failed in some sort of duty.

@moebius_strip Dunno about this one. CBC’s objection, as I understand it, is that Twitter explicitly uses the label to warn users that governments may have a degree of editorial control. Which, like… of course that’s the insinuation, otherwise why flag it?

@JesseBrown CBC’s response to this line of criticism:

The other problem with this is that "government-funded media" is simply accurate and neutral wording. That doesn't mean that Musk isn't suggesting government influence and/or trolling. But when you're getting huffy and going home over a fact...not a great look for a news org.

@CityofBurnaby What number should we call? When I call my local community centre, I receive an automated message that it isn’t taking calls right now. Phone lines appear to be closed.

Residents registering for programs have been experiencing delays. We are working to resolve the issue by increasing our registration system’s capacity and our phones are also fully staffed.

Thank goodness. The registration experience with @CityofBurnaby's WebReg system is consistently terrible - mainly because it's unreliable, slow, awkward to navigate, has limited capacity, and is error-prone, particularly when under load. I cannot wait for its demise.

There is so much happening in this tweet, not least of which being the bashful “promoted” badge at the bottom.
