I don’t remember how much it cost or when I bought it, but my digital luggage scale was the best money I’ve ever spent. The reaction from airline staff as I heave a suitcase on to the conveyer belt that weighs in within a couple hundred grams of the limit is utterly priceless. 🏆

Remember when conservatives were about law and order? Now it's law a la carte. Don't agree with a law, don't bother electing a new government, just disobey it. Conservatives won't call you out. They love it too!

@jenhassum Although GST is a regressive and indiscriminate sales tax while a carbon tax is expressly meant to target actions that pollute which home heating does...?
English
Consistency. Here’s Jack Layton in 2010 calling to remove the tax from home heating: theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/…

@GLeBaron Canadian domestic modern slavery?

My blood's boiling & you're about to feel the same way. It's 🇨🇦's international students. Not them, but the diabolical, complex, & unimaginal scheme to fuel 🇨🇦's growth. Here's how 🇨🇦 manufactured an exploitation machine & sold it as social good. <thread> 🧵👇

@acoyne Why should we let USA dictate what counts? You don't think they set targets based on how they already spend their money? Canada's not a smaller version of the USA. We don't prioritize tanks and jets, nor should we.
English
Cause that’s what we do: instead of meeting our commitments, we redefine them down to our level. Did the same with emissions reductions.
As NATO firms up military spending target, Canada is trying to broaden what counts: sources | CBC News cbc.ca/news/politics/…

@Morgan_C_Ross @oldcanadaseries I would say even the Smithsonian can get fooled. Also compare the alleged pre-BC/Canada coin to the American $20 gold coin (notice any similarities?):

An excellent look at the intersection of film and capitalism. See below.

Very excited to share a free pre-print copy of my 2022 book, The Political Economy of Hollywood: Capitalist Power and Cultural Production. Take a look if you are curious about the mix of art and business in Hollywood. notesoncinema.com/2022/04/06/202…

@MobileSyrup I was fairly smitten with the NexusOne back in the day.

@Feisty_Waters Is it that we buckos ought not be fuckos, or is that we ought not be fucko buckos?

My twitter rules are simple: don’t be a fucko bucko, and we can be friends.

@neilshyminsky Arguably the term TERF has gone beyond its original definition which is probably what confuses people. It's now applied mainly to transphobes regardless of their association with feminism radical or otherwise. Even someone like JK makes an odd fit for "radical feminist".
English
Me, thinking about a TikTok I'm making: People say that TERF is censored on the app, so I'll do it the long way & say trans exclusionary radical feminist
Commenters: Why are you blaming radical feminists? We/They aren't TERFs!
...do people not realize TERF is an acronym?

@Lazin_Ryder I couldn't make it past the first few paragraphs. He hadn't even begun talking about Peterson before I'd called it quits.
