@boriquagato @CovfefeAnon if a woman is questioning whether she should cut her hair shorter, "the answer is always yes."

@OVTweetmarck @agostino_harry @BigBlobApe The night my father died, I had to go lift him off the floor and into his bed because he no longer had the strength. Far from undignified, it was the most powerful experience in my life. Assisted suicide erases the dignity of that moment for a sanitized counterfeit.

@captive_dreamer Some of the most underappreciated games of the era.

@EvangelicalDW @AnglicanonMDiv With young kids baseball became the only sport I enjoyed watching through the distractions. 10 minutes of hockey or soccer might mean nothing in isolation and nothing of consequence might happen, but each inning or each at bat is a self contained narrative.

@BCHL_Alberta Medicine Hat went Americans with their first 2 picks. Definitely stood out to me.

@giantgio My son pulled out a Leaf's jersey this morning. We're huge McKenna fans, so the result is a little unbelievable. Of course, the back of my mind can't shake wondering how the team will screw this up.

@upstatefederlst Ya, it probably doesn't work to that extent on big developers like Costco or a data center. But it can work on smaller developers, and it creates bad incentives for upset neighbours to complain the maximum amount and drag the process out.

@upstatefederlst In my experience, planning boards will come up with any reasoning they want, even if it's not outright denial. Request additional studies, send developers back to engage with neighbours. It all adds costs and time, and kills through delay. Even places with permissive zoning

@JeffMcCarthyBC It seemed obvious to me last year. A program that can identify good players who will stick around for their 19 or 20 year old seasons will have an advantage, even if they miss out on some top end talent who leave at 18 to go play college.

@NeilShenvi Music note is equally as broken, it's just not as flashy about it. But overall, I strongly agree. It's a fantastically well designed game.

@BCHL_Alberta Red Deer, Regina and Moose Jaw, with a playoff spot on the line the final weekend of the season, looked at the possibility of playing Medicine Hat in the first round and collectively said "we're good".

@GranTorinoDSA To be honest, the historic troon out is mostly ongoing thanks to Trump and the team attending the SotU, and it seems to be affecting libs on both side of the border equally. Most normal Canadians are over the hockey loss itself, it's not even a top 10 heartbreak.

@BridgerClancy @MarioLeGoat @worldhockeyrpt Willie Desjardins is a junior hockey wizard, and the best manager by a mile. In a league with so much turnover, they brought back 5 of 6 D from the Championship team, and it all flows from there. Helped that Pickford was the best player in the CHL until his injury.

@FoolishTimbet @_kruptos I haven't read enough Grant to know how his take populism holds up. It helps to grow up immersed in it, but I dont think it's so complicated intelligent people can't understand it. But I think it's unique.

@FoolishTimbet @_kruptos Prairie populism is collectivist (it's the birthplace of the NDP) and libertarian. You rely on yourself and your neighbours; it doesn't by default trust elites or the government. It's far more pragmatic than ideological, conservative by temperament but quick to adopt what works

@_kruptos It feels like the original author resents populism and Harper for shoving aside his vision of a mythological conservative elite. If the possibility of that existed in any form in this country, it would know what to do with that energy. The target shouldn't be populism or the West

@_kruptos That's true. Their competence in maintaining the status quo of slow stagnation is quite high. But what we lack is an elite who can articulate a positive vision for Canada that would direct populist energy somewhere.
