@ink_slinger the downside, of course, is that it kinda perpetuates a two-party system. Damn do we need electoral reform...

@ink_slinger yah, I think that’s a very accurate and succinct way of putting it 😄(and for the record I was sincere about you nailing the Ling description 🙂)

A nice side-effect is that the differences are small and policy-based so the coverage can sometimes trend wonkish, which I enjoy.

@ink_slinger hahaha man, you’ve got both Ling’s and my number with that one haha...

I might be alone on this one, but I do appreciate how both Ling and Gersen (and Raitt to an extent) can be criticized for not being sufficiently ideologically in-step with the camps they’ve pitched their tents in :) It makes me feel they’re driven from a pragmatic and reasoned (and no less sincere) position.

@ink_slinger A fellow Oppo listener, I take it ;)

@thurloat thanks for the update :D

Anyone else having problems interacting with PeerTube from mastodon.club? is it a Mastodon instance version issue?

Can't join a @CIHR_IRSC@twitter.com webinar at the moment because:
(1) the meeting is capped at 200 people for a competition that receives >1K applications
(2) uses a conferencing client that doesn't work on Linux
(3) that same client requires you to ignore security advice and enable Java

The TrollBots are pushing the idea that @RosieBarton@twitter.com and @CBCNews@twitter.com are biased, but can’t agree on whether they’re pulling for Libs or Cons 😅

All the more reason to keep listening to CBC and Rosie :)

This is what Americans think all our headlines are like...

R is an awful language and we need to nuke it from orbit thank you this has been my TED talk.

Nothing but the spiciest 2001 jokes here, folks

I was thinking about how mixed metaphors like these in @NRO@twitter.com betray that they are a rag despite their "SAT-word-per-sentence" metric.

Then I remembered they're climate change deniers that claim Trump isn't racist, and that that should probably be the bigger tell. https://t.co/KpIVlbvie3

“Inscrutable scruples” is on a personal list of things that will always be fun to say
