I don’t believe so. But you’ll see them pop up in trading and buy/sell groups on fb, there’s always a handful of people who have to change their plans for one reason or another and need to get rid of them, sometimes at cost. I’d even pay attention to fb groups based in toronto and nearby cities, I’ve been seeing passes popping up in them all week.

The value of TSLA is more relevant to his debt financing than whether Twitter is operating or not.

They didn’t put new money into the purchase, they rolled their pre-existing shares over. Dorsey did the same FYI.

Y’all are giving this idiot waaaay too much credit when it comes to scheming behind the scenes. It was a really poorly thought out pump and dump, nothing more. There’s no big evil master plan; he’s just really that stupid, and rich enough to constantly fail upwards. With Xitter we’re just seeing his xitty ideas in their purest form, without the influence of the handlers he has to manage his bullxit at his other companies.

Although I have to say, the accidental brilliance of going with branding that’s so phonologically flexible is pretty fantastic, the jokes can write themselves now. But I doubt advertisers are going to appreciate the fact that their interactions on Xitter are colloquially becoming known as xcrements now…

I think it’s more along the lines of the “it’s a bold strategy, Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for 'em” sentiment

I mean… take your pick on who he hasn’t paid, there are pleeeeenty of examples out there. He even lost the ability to engage in arbitration over the unpaid severance because he didn’t pay the mediators lmfao. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=twitter+unpaid+bills

Serious question for you- why are you defending him? Like, the information demonstrating he’s kind of stupid and a terrible person is so easily available to you. At this point you have to actively work to remain ignorant of it, and his history of trying to claim accomplishments that aren’t his own. Why bother?

Brazeau is an interesting example, because he has engaged in some advocacy for vulnerable populations in recent years (e.g. warning labels on alcohol, pushing for research on male suicide). Does not absolve him at all of his past shenanigans, but I’d say he’s not lock-in-step the same as Duffy or Beyak and that ilk. Seems like he’s learned a little bit about what public office should be about.

This asshole, on the other hand… Senators should absolutely face sanctions, at the very least, for supporting seditious fuckwads and saying their voice matters over the everyday citizens that make up most of the population of Ottawa.

The Lufa model needs to spread across the country. They have a handful of urban greenhouses in Montreal, so a lot of the produce I buy is actually grown in the city, and everything else that they can’t grow themselves is procured directly from the producers/farms, not from a re-seller.

(although, fuck their labour practices, I very much wish they had competition in the city so they would be pressured to clean up their act in that regard, I hate that I feel like I have to compromise my values in some way in order to buy local and direct)

I mean, have you reached out to your local farms/CSA groups to inquire about delivery and encourage them to establish something like that? The pandemic definitely pushed a lot of groups to incorporate that into their model, if you haven’t checked recently you might be surprised. I mean, even if it’s just to demonstrate interest for a pick up point in your area or ask if they’re affiliated with a local supplier who does deliver, it never hurts to reach out
