@keeks_2021 I mean, I’d ask you out on a date if I was out in K-town and I saw you wearing that! 😳

I’m clearly not cheering for V but I’ll say it again, I still don’t get how the whistle can go and no penalty is called and bc a player is down on the ice they suddenly call a penalty. Like aren’t they supposed to see the penalty happen and call it?

With a build date of June 11, 1996, Red turned 30 today. I’ve put 200k+ under my ass in the 8 years I’ve had this truck. A few new dents and scratches, but many memories. @Ford, you made one hell of a machine! Happy birthday Red! Hope you liked the bath. Onto the next 30! 🎂 🛻

@CavalryCanuck @Colin_Dove The rumour for years is that the account is an amalgamation of media members who created to rage bait. Who knows whether it's true. You did the right thing blocking that account.

#Canucks fans: We want someone with experience. Richard Seeley hired to run Abbotsford: 8 years as a GM of an AHL franchise with an organization that just went through a rebuild. Some #Canucks fans: Not good enough. Clearly a cheap hire.

@jabo_vancouver @Colin_Dove I blocked his ass years ago. I thought I was doing myself a favour, but now every second tweet chain that doesn’t include you, Coco, or Bella is half-full of “you blocked this user” tweets. Dude needs to get a life.

@Colin_Dove They need to stop listening to Taj. That account is only there for rage baiting, not for an intelligent conversation about the club.

During Reach's early development, I made the original proposal to have George sacrifice himself in orbit and then have the covenant fleet show up, giving the unspoken implication that "You sacrificed your best guy and barely made dent. You can't win this war". But my original pitch was "You leave Jorge in the Covenant bridge, he locks the door and is defending this room to ensure the ship stays on course, and the player runs back to the hangar and jumps" (all in game), we'd then transition to a first person cinematic while the player was falling. The story team pushed back with a counter-proposal insisting Jorge get this monologue. I didn't agree at first so we debate/argued/etc. That happened a lot. In the end, it was the right choice (I was wrong), and it made the moment so much better. That was the cool thing about old school Bungie. All the best moments were an amalgamation of proposals and counter-proposals, to ultimately arrive at the best version of the idea.

Halo ended with Reach and I will not be convinced otherwise.

@victoriastewxrt @MoreOrLessAMess The argument I always pitch is; imagine if guys did the same of hockey players in the PWHL? We’d rightfully be labeled as perverts and creeps.

We got a new picture of Moose today. He's now six weeks old and had his first outdoor play time yesterday.

@BrentHCameron There’s a difference between wanting something, and liking the idea of something happening. Most people mistake the latter for the former.

The Prime Minister talked about a "middle power coalition" 6 months ago. Still no definition of who's in it. We in the CANZUK movement offered help and 20+ years of research toward that. Our offer hasn't been taken up. IMHO people don't actually want what they say they want.

God save us from Ordinary minds. These are not ordinary times. And the ordinary minds have no idea how to extricate us from this extraordinary mess

@JJ_McCullough Actually, the NDP government has explicitly banned it from BC because it doesn't align with their green energy agenda. So, the fight must go on!

I always hear people proudly saying “nuclear power is good, actually” as if there’s some massive organized opposition to it and we inhabit a culture in which the badness of nuclear power is smothering conventional wisdom. But that hasn’t been the case in like 40 years, right
Andy Masley@AndyMasley

I basically think the average voter is pretty wrong on: 1) Nuclear power (it's good) 2) Foreign aid (we spend very little on it and should spend more) 3) Climate change (a majority say they're not willing to have any additional amounts of their tax money spent on climate. The national average willingness to pay for things that help with climate is ~$300 per year) 4) Immigration (I think it's broadly good across the board, and definitely good to get more high skilled immigrants specifically) 5) Price controls in general (bad!) I'd like governments to patiently nod along to voter concerns but quietly approve more nuclear, spend more on foreign aid, pay way more on climate, and allow at least more high skilled immigrants. I just flat out think it's wrong for politicians to have 1-1 similar views to the median voter and sometimes they need to diverge.

@AllLoveCoco What constitutes an emergency that they can’t refuse? What does it cost to treat those emergencies? How often do they occur? I’d be willing to bet the answers to those questions adds up to the $200m amount. Another way to look at it is that it’s roughly $550k per day.

@Demon_Realms No one knows where the fuck Langley is. If I’m talking to someone from outside of Canada, I’m from Vancouver.

Vancouverites doing this annoying shit as if being from Vancouver is a flex 😭
Meghan Murphy@MeghanEMurphy

The same is true of Vancouver. People are always telling me they’re “from Vancouver” when they weren’t in fact born in Vancouver, but moved there like ten years ago, and usually actually live in, like, Coquitlam. You are only from Vancouver if you were born in Vancouver (and no, the suburbs don’t count). (Also, ftr, I can always tell when people who say they’re from Vancouver are not actually from Vancouver.)
