@bgcarlisle Why do you believe members of the Conservative Party of Canada would be more likely to be racist than members of the Liberals, the NDP, or the Greens?
Do you have perhaps polling data?

"The saint is the person who is so fascinated by the beauty of God and by his perfect truth as to be progressively transformed by it. Because of this beauty and truth, he is ready to renounce every thing, even himself. Love of God is enough for him, experienced in humble service to one's neighbor, especially towards those who cannot give back in return,"
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI
@keithzg @ink_slinger You've convinced me. I'm going to take the Raspberry Pi hooked up to the TV in the basement and turn it into a classic video game system. I'll let my daughter play with it at some point in time.
Ayant grandi à Ottawa, j’ai toujours admiré la loyauté de la communauté franco-ontarienne envers ses valeurs et ses traditions. Célébrons la journée des Franco-Ontariens. Ma déclaration:

@keithzg @ink_slinger I'm temperamentally sympathetic to the view that kids should learn the classic video games before they learn modern ones; but I'm not sure I have any rational arguments for *why* the should play SMB and not whatever's popular now.
Just read this quote on Mr T's thoughts on his name on Wikipedia and cried a bit
If you'd asked me last week, I would have said that Her Majesty could legally #prorogue #Parliament for any reason at all: say, to be sure that MPs would be able to attend a garden party. And I would have said that the Prime Minister could advise her to do anything he wished for any reason, providing it was legal in itself (though I can imagine circumstances the Queen should not take such advice).
And yet the UK #SupremeCourt says otherwise. I should review their ruling, see what law governs.
@qcat @tootbrute Would VP Pence be a worse president than Mr. Trump?
I'd be happy to read some articles making that case if you'd care to make some suggestions.
@tootbrute The difficult thing with President Trump is that the facts about his nature were public knowledge when he was elected. Some voters were horrified, some were delusional, others decided that despite his flaws he would be better than Mrs. Clinton.
To shift public opinion against President Trump requires him to do something notably worse than what he was known in 2016 to have done. Sexual harassment, lies, fraud and nepotism are not enough.
So grabbing by the pussy ok?
Lying ok
Separating immigrant kids from family ok
Nepotism ok
Inciting violence ok
Being incompetent ok
...100 other things I don't remember...
...
Trying to get dirt on Joe Biden another politician, HELL NO!
IMPEACH!!!
ok America, I understand now
@tootbrute Straw that broke the camel's back maybe?
Anti-Nazi forces in Yugoslavia divided between Communist partisans & Serbian Nationalist Chetniks, for now working in fragile alliance. They're parading captured German soldiers through streets of Užice, their new capital:
I wrote about papers that have changed my thinking.
The UK Supreme Court ruling is out. The proroguing of Parliament was ruled null and void:
""The prorogation was void and of no effect," Lady Hale says. "Parliament has not been prorogued.""

Kudos to @cwebber and @apconf for putting the #ActivitypubConference (#apconf) videos online on #Peertube.
Peertube already gives us a great alternative to #YouTube, but it's problem is a lack of viewers, because of the lack of content uploaded to the platform (& being new).
That's why it's great to see #Apconf help break the catch 22 by sharing their videos at:
https://conf.tube/accounts/apconf/videos
Here's hoping we see other conferences follow their lead! (#kde #gnome etc. I'm looking at you!)
@jaranta Wonderful! Thanks very much.
