Every year I retweet this piece on how to spot drowning. Last year someone replied saying they’d read my RT the previous year and later rescued a kid. TL;DR: drowning kids usually don’t scream or splash about. slate.com/technology/201…

One of my wife's friends today was describing how wealthy one of her neighbours is and to illustrate her point said, "And the wife drives a Tetris". And I'm just going to use that to have a quiet laugh every time I have to think about the broken man-child destroying this platform

Stephen Lecce. Teen Specialist MD over here. It is not safe (nor developmentally appropriate) for all parents to be fully aware of everything that is happening in the lives of their adolescents. Particularly those adolescents with marginalized identities. Of course confidential (1/2)

tbh was kind of hoping she'd do a collab with Great Gerwig

This isn’t about protecting parents rights. This is you picking on marginalized students who already have it hard enough.

Most foreign correspondents for major media outlets - myself included - have the luxury of being able to leave an assignment when things get too dangerous. Every photo + video in our news media from Gaza this week is taken by someone who cannot escape. washingtonpost.com/style/media/20…

#DoctorWhoSpoilers Doctor Who having its BIG SPECIAL be about a trans character saving the day with the power of being nonbinary & The Doctor overtly relating to being nonbinary- combined with Tennant's overt trans support- is a serious message, especially in its UK context.

Get yourself a renowned Shakespearean actor for your ludicrously silly comedy, and you get scenes like this peppered in amongst the goofing and slapstick - ‘gravitas’ doesn’t even come close to describing Andre Braugher’s mastery of big speeches

Yesterday, Ontario’s Children’s hospitals, Pediatric Medical and Mental Health Organizations wrote a letter to the Ontario government opposing the proposed anti-trans restrictions in Alberta and affirming their commitment to trans youth and gender-affirming care (1/2)

I'm not a Trudeau watcher (or fan, really) but I was surprised and impressed by how direct he is here. Isn't he usually pretty milquetoast-y? Also, DoFo's poker face lol

The mandate of the Police Services Board is to provide citizen oversight of the Hamilton Police. This complaint undermines the Board’s credibility and independence. Democratic institutions only retain legitimacy when they allow for debate & dissent. We need to do better. #HamOnt

It's interesting, and kind of depressing, to see which members of #HamOnt city council have not made similar statements supporting one of their own in this matter.

It looks like these ransomware dudes are pretty good with computers. I wonder if while they're holding the city hostage they can make the website more functional and then sell it back to us.

I'm not hopeful this'll happen but I wish we'd get a deep, well-sourced account of what actually happened here. From what I've heard it's a bigger story than we've been told. Also, just a stray thought, but has anyone thought about the fired Nazi IT guy in connection to this?
