Curious what @karaswisher and @profgalloway think of @ErinKelly_AI 's take on @TheAgenda on why @elonmusk *really* bought Twitter ... Was it possibly _not_ a horrible deal? tvo.org/video/why-did-… 🤔

Disappointed in Overstory media's firing of some of the best journalists in the #yyj media landscape. Not surprised that the self-appointed "gentlemen media bros" turned out to be just as empty of ideas and no different than any other capitalist driven effort in this country.

@petenaotg @NotionHQ Down for me too. What's the point of a status page that doesn't reflect that actual status of the page? Thoughts @NotionHQ?

Merry Christmas from Bob and Doug!

An under-discussed effect of COVID is how we kind of lost casual friends. The incidental buddies you ran into at a BBQ, holiday party or softball game- just rapture-like disappeared. Now everyone you talk to is either coworker or 1 of the 5 most important people you've ever known

How can Canada protect its democracy when America becomes a fascist theocracy? asks Waterloo professor @robdanisch theconversation.com/canada-should-… good question 🤔

The idea that "liberty" is the freedom to do as you like, provided it doesn't harm others is simple enough on its face, but the reality is very few of our actions are free from the potential to harm others. 6/
