Human Being but when people use the words humane or inhumane to describe our species behaviour sometimes it reminds me of a line from the movie ‘The Princess Bride’ “I do not think that word means what you think it means.”

Years ago early autocorrect had trouble with personal names, causing a work memo from Eve and Emma to instead be from Evil and Emu. I will always love autocorrect for this 🥰

My father used to say “You are a gentleman and a scholar” as part of expressing appreciation. Obviously Trump is neither, nor is he friends with any. I doubt he could properly define either word, they are concepts he could never grasp.

Print not even worthy of lining a birdcage, and keeping birds in cages is cruel anyway! So instead the NP just prints piles of shite, for those still inclined to eat it with a grin.

As much as I loathe to draw attention to the National Post, I think it's important to keep an eye on what they're up to. In this case, it's writing a piece that can be summed up with, "The stupid libs keep fear mongering about their bodily rights being taken away. Here's why we should do that."

There's too much in the piece to criticize in little 300 character posts, but it's a perfect encapsulation of the slow, creeping American insidiousness of this publication and we shouldn't turn away from it!

You are what you wear: Canadian universities must do more to ensure their branded clothing isn’t made in sweatshops As an expert in labour exploitation and modern slavery in supply chains, I believe universities and colleges have a responsibility to ensure workers have decent working conditions.

Agreed. Power and influence are both double-edged swords, and all world leaders engage in finger pointing and scapegoating when it suits them, including both for and against the U.S.
If only everyone was capable of communicating with civil dialogue as we have. I appreciate the respectful discussion

You actually just proved my point. The U.S.A.’s oversized influence on the rest of the world does not make its president “THE Leader” of anyone outside the U.S., but thinking so is a common misconception. There are many other influential “leaders” in the geopolitical sphere not following U.S. at all

Genuinely curious who was the first to claim that the President of the U.S.A. is the “leader of the free world”. It has never been true, yet it gets repeated by Americans as if it were globally accepted fact. The rest of the world knows this is false and don’t believe in “American exceptionalism” 🤡

Ok but to be fair potatoes are pretty great no matter how they’re done and those buttons could be useful maybe someday and meanwhile they can be kept in an old cookie tin… and no really I’m not being defensive at all 😳

The correct form of “they’re” is used twice, which seems especially unlikely on social media where it seems fewer people know or care 🧐

Under the circumstances that was also strangely reassuring 😉
