The agonizingly slow progress into mainstream discourse of this idea that we should all stop using twitter continues at its steady pace. Will the obvious truth of it mean that it continues until even the politicians get it? Or will it in time become be one of those "yeah we probably should've done that" things that never gets done?

Gender neutral pronouns are pretty huge too. Sure you can do them in English without too many problems usually, just as it's also possible to code safely in C. It requires everyone to change their old habits, but it's much less of a change than is involved in adopting a whole new language.

Your opinions are bad, you should feel bad, and you posted this to the wrong community.

Seeing this at quarter past the hour I went to look for it at the ndp.ca website. It does not appear to be there. I followed the link to their youtube channel. Not there either. Presumably it's on fucking twitter or something. Please do better, NDP.
Anyway, the video can be seen at cpac.
