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 :)

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

Guess this is as good a time as any to thank you for the Herculean effort it takes to keep this thing running!

Hi Glorious Leader @thurloat , any chance we'll get Keybase support on this instance? It'd be super neat!
