You "shared some tears" because they're holding a Harry Potter event for kids in a park ?
You "disavowed" @jk_rowling ?
Are you in a cult ?
Last night, @ParkBoard did the right thing. Apologized to TGD2S community after emotional discussion. Shared some tears. Disavowed JKR. Will undertake concrete actions to rebuild trust.

to be fair, this was 2021, when the CBC still thought its future success lay in letting a bunch of 25 year old Ryerson J-school grads turn their web site into Canadian Teen Vogue. Since then, the middle-agers trying to quietly run out the pension clock have reasserted control
I’m just catching up on this story and still trying to wrap my head around how @CBC could think this was appropriate…
Have they apologized?
@JMcknightDelta, @MarkJCarney @MarcMillerVM your thoughts?? #Cdnpoli

Another garbage article by the Canadian Press. It isn’t mentioned until the *ninth* paragraph that a judge found the sexual assault allegations unsubstantiated, and the fact that several lawsuit defendants settled and apologized is omitted completely.

Both @trentuniversity activist Mandi Gray and artist A.B. have made sex-assault accusations against author Steven Galloway "a feature point of their careers."
As told by @sarkonakj.
Her reporting recounts when mis-using the well-intentioned #metoo movement advanced your career.
#cdnpoli #bcpoli
On Monday, Galloway trial defendant Mandi Gray contradicted her earlier testimony about National Post coverage of her and A.B., described her observations of A.B.'s weakened mental state in 2025, and told what she knew of A.B.'s undisclosed settlement with UBC.
Both Gray and A.B. have made Galloway a feature point of their careers. Gray wrote a dissertation that discussed her experience in the Galloway case at length (which she later turned into a book), while A.B. opened an art exhibition entirely about Galloway in 2018. She was questioned about both.

Toronto (Nov. 8) — A trans extremist was arrested in a Jewish neighborhood after violating a court order to stay away from the area after he was released following another leftist direct action-related arrest.
@TorontoPolice and the media are referring to the man, “Diana Bosco,” as a “woman.” Canadian officials and media also lied to the public about the trans Canadian gunman who slaughtered eight women and children in British Columbia earlier this year.
my latest for @Quillette focuses on @MrAndyNgo’s great new book about the murderous “Zizian” cult, which emerged in the 2010s from fringes of trans activism & Bay Area “rationalist” AI doomerism. I also discuss Christopher Clark’s fine historical book, “A Scandal in Köningsberg”
What does a 19th-century Prussian sect have in common with a California cult obsessed with AI doom?
More than you'd think. @jonkay reviews @MrAndyNgo’s new book on the Zizians, a tiny group linked to eight deaths, alongside Christopher Clark's history of a Königsberg scandal.

the most tragicomic part of these melodramas is when tough-talk protestors (who support “all means of resistance” and heroic forms of “direct action”) finally get arrested: they start hysterically playing the role of eggshell-sensitive martyr the moment they’re put in handcuffs
It’s absolutely insane that anyone at @UBC involved in this debacle still has their job.
UBC paid accuser to join Steven Galloway inquiry, court hears

The woman who accused Steven Galloway of sexual assault made an art project about him in 2018. She had it posted to her website for years, all the way up until earlier in the trial. It is no longer on her website.
I think the bigger story here is that I apparently didn’t use paragraph breaks
A "cynical campaign to convince the world that Canada is a cesspool of violent anti-Semitism."
A 2010 National Post article wherein @jonkay critiqued @bnaibrithcanada's data about antisemitism.

I’m at the Washington State high school cross country finals where the Camas, WA team is competing because of their top runner, a biological boy who switched to the girl’s team mid-season. Without him on the team they wouldn’t have made state.

explain why it’s always these cutesy upper middle class cafés, bakeries, vegan shops etc that are so easily terrorized into obeying the diktats of genderwang lunatics?
In this case, it’s Duchess bakery in Edmonton
Is it because they feel bad for making everyone fat with carbs?
