@Xort_TC @Ollieldjifod @PaulStewartII Even in the eighties there were plenty of people with unlisted numbers, and no phone book had data like date of birth.

@Ollieldjifod @PaulStewartII Oh, because names, addresses and phone numbers are what you could find in one.

Patrick Lennox, Former RCMP Intelligence Manager, on Alberta’s election data breach: That data—the full names, addresses, and phone numbers of almost 3 million voting age Albertans—circulated for at least a month in the Maple MAGAsphere, but has almost certainly been captured by state based authoritarian adversaries including Russia, China, and the United States. This poses a massive public safety risk and exposes the October 19th referendum process to profound levels of foreign interference from the global far right. Alberta is completely exposed. All of our elections data is in the far right wind. open.substack.com/pub/plennox/p/…

@Leah90914801 @PaulStewartII "Wilson Woodrow"?

@PaulStewartII Oh the Drama...calm down people!

@PaulStewartII A whole lot of idiots and bots are commenting who assume nobody knows there's more information in the voter rolls than was ever found in a phonebook.

@SDB1542721 @PaulStewartII Yeah, I remember phonebooks, and they had less information than is found on the voter rolls.

@PaulStewartII Why is this an issue? Anyone remember phone books?

@Acyn Add an intelligence test, a psychiatric assessment, a forensic audit, and a security clearance. Every democracy should do this.

Trump says anyone running for president should take a cognitive exam because you could end being stuck with a moron for years. “I mean, you get a guy who gets in there, he's got a good line of crap. He gets in and all of a sudden you're stuck with a man who's a moron”

@DropSiteNews Meanwhile, somebody is trying to community note this information by citing a tweet from an Israeli news account.

More than 200 activists from the Global Sumud Flotilla who were seized at sea by Israeli forces and taken to the Greek island of Crete were released earlier today, with photos showing visible injuries including bruising, cuts, and swelling; participants say they were beaten and abused in custody.

@peggy_blair Somebody might give the Swiss players Canadian chocolate bars.

What rioting are they expecting in Canada???

@deAdder Who knew there were so many Republicans so blindly ignorant of their party's history of gerrymandering?

@WholesomeMeme Be vewy, vewy quiet, we'we fixing Wabbits.

@atrupar Are any of these anchors making less than seven figures?

Maria Bartiromo: "When I started my career, I put money in my 401k and I was advised, my mother told me, 'match it 100%, whatever your company puts down, match it.' And that's how I got to my first $1 million. I'll say it. That's how I got to become a millionaire."

@libsoftiktok @Aetna

Last week I randomly got a $9,000 bill for a hospital visit from last year. I called them up and they said my insurance decided not to cover it. Why? Because. .@Aetna can just decide they’re not interested in covering something and then you’re left with an inflated bill to pay out of pocket after the fact. This is in addition to a $2,000 bill that I already paid. They just don’t want to cover it despite me paying a monthly premium. Meanwhile illegals get free healthcare. Honestly fuck you @Aetna. I’m gonna do everything I can to destroy you.

@peggy_blair From Fox to CBS to laid off to "telling the stories I could not tell before". Her best days are so far behind her that she's got empty nest syndrome.

?? It is a criminal case. There is no discovery. And consciousness of guilt does not apply. Nice try though!

@acoyne Don't mind me, I just came by to see how many poiliettes and Trump bootlickers were triggered by this news.

@CraigBaird I dimly remember there being a difference in how reusable the stubbies were compared to the American-standard bottles. Maybe that was just marketing.

For decades, The Stubby Bottle ensured that Canadians knew their beer was produced within Canada by a Canadian brewery. But in the 1980s, in the hope of boosting sales, the stubby was abandoned by breweries for the long-neck bottle. This is the story. 📸 LeShoppeVintage 🧵 1/8

@haveigotnews I thought you told jokes

A breakdown of what does and doesn't deserve scrutiny according to Keir Starmer: Does: Pensioner fuel payments, the previous government, disability benefits, the previous government, internet freedoms, Palestine Action, the Civil Service, the previous government  Doesn't: His own actions and judgements, Peter Mandelson's suitability for office, free football tickets

@TheoMoudakis @TorontoStar Penny pinching just got easier.

@peggy_blair The judge's thought process mystifies me. Did he need a telepath to scan the man's mind before finding his testimony non-credible?

@avenge_p Makes you wonder how many expert witnesses it would have taken to convince this judge or if he would have disbelieved them too. He accepted the accused's testimony he believed all of this fell within normal bounds and dismissed the independent evidence he had as unreliable?

Ungloved. No nurse in the room. An expert witness testified these examinations fell far outside neurological practice. Judge decides the expert witness's testimony has frailties and is biased and dismisses the testimony of 41 women, none of whom had ever met before the trial.
