Students from Arbutus Middle School’s music program once again create a stellar entry for the CBC Music Class Challenge. Watch their remarkable spin on the Neil Young classic Heart of Gold here: bit.ly/3XLH5uL #CBCMusicClass

@elonmusk The irony of enabling free speech is you need to stop talking. If the town square has an opinion it’s not the town square, it’s your front lawn.

Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists. Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.

@0xSton @kyledav50941622 @FEhrsam You must be fun at parties

@paulwilliamhill @kyledav50941622 @FEhrsam There is actually two solutions. Yours being one of them.

One thing that really bothered me as a young founder: at some point I was told it was impolite to give “seasoned executives” brainteasers in interviews.

@kyledav50941622 @0xSton @FEhrsam Yay brain! You get a cookie 🍪

@paulwilliamhill @0xSton @FEhrsam Yep!

@0xSton @FEhrsam 3 on each side of the scale. Take the 3 from the heavier side. Put one on each side of the scale. Either it’s the heavier of the two or they are equal weight and or you are holding the heavier sphere. Is that it?

@FEhrsam For the people who came here for the brain teasers: You have six visually identical spheres. However, one sphere weighs slightly more than rest. You have access to a balance scale but can only use it twice. pls solve.

If you wonder why nominal rates are rising so relentlessly even as inflation expectations fall, well, look at this. 🧵

Day 950 of detention. Includes 45 nights in prison, 5 in a halfway house, 890 with an ankle claw, hundreds of harassing phone calls, 10 urine tests, 4 strip searches, major sleep deprivation. Would do it all over for the honor of representing the Indigenous peoples of Ecuador.

The people of Ukraine are today showing the incredible strength of a free people fighting for their democracy. This is one of those times, and one of those places, where freedom confronts tyranny. We are determined that freedom will triumph, and it will.

1. About the Victoria school board effectively firing two of its own: There is some history here of various strategies to exclude or silence @sd61schools trustees who advocate for students, especially those who have been or still are teachers. Sit back while I recall #bced...

When music is cut from schools, nothing is saved. Money isn’t saved, time isn’t saved, and results aren’t saved. On the contrary, everything is diminished. The school is diminished, the pupils are diminished, and their learning is diminished. Cutting music saves nothing.

@HawksleyWorkman Just a reminder that the School District 61 board of trustees attempted to cut *this* music program, only relented after community protests, and will try again. Vote in the school trustee elections.

THIS IS UNBELIEVABLY GOOD... it made my morning... weeping as i watch... might be the best version of this song out there... including the original.

Apparently Abba is back together and touring. “The return of disco” was the last square on my apocalypse bingo card.

@LynAldenContact I would love to hear your take on the factors that might make possible a scenario where current inflation is a head-fake and North America instead experiences a sustained period of deflation.

Wait for it... 2 minutes in. It’s amazing.

This stretched-out, socially-distanced, protest runs 4.5km from the Greater Victoria School District office to the BC legislature. Students and parents protesting cuts to music and other programs in SD61. #bced #bcpoli #yyj

Monday night @sd61schools is poised to make permanent cuts to programs we value in Victoria schools. In classic shock doctrine, our district is using a short-term budget crunch to 'realign their priorities' in direct opposition to the community they serve. A thread.
