Dear CTV News: the correct response to a party being upset about fact-checking is to stop covering the party — not to stop fact checking their bullshit.

Where’s the pushback from their journalists? Where are the resignations?

Always fascinating to see people reveal that the one, unforgivable thing that ever happened to them — that they cling to almost as a shibboleth — was a free U2 album.

Mid-afternoon egg carton snooze session. #CatsOfMastodon #RipleyAndJonesy

Watching ALIEN (1979, 2003 director’s cut with cast & crew commentary) with the kittens. Yes, we actually were. They thought Jonesy deserved more close-ups. #CatsOfMastodon #RipleyAndJonesy #ALIEN

@aral Wait — this isn’t Photoshopped? This can’t be real!?!

@WarnerCrocker What’s it called once it spills over into neighbouring countries? 🧐

@RickiTarr No way could I work for a company that spells 1Password as “OnePassWord”. Jesus. Signed: a small business owner.

@WarnerCrocker I’ve seen it here, too. iOS 18.3.1. 🤷♂️

Ripley the intern continues to be starving and my reading glasses are the tastiest thing on earth. #RipleyAndJonesy #JustRipley #CatsOfMastodon

Leisurely #caturday afternoon for #RipleyAndJonesy (on their favourite egg carton). #catsOfMastodon

@inthehands @august As Alex Lindsay pointed out in the latest episode of TWiT (https://overcast.fm/+AAZarRN184U) — in the context of Sonos — trust arrives on foot, but leaves by horse.

@justanotheramy @CStamp @mcnado @merileedkarr When I think back to nursing home staff all but denying me access to see my parents unless I swapped my N95s for nearly useless surgical masks — and getting them to relent by adding them ON TOP OF MY N95s — I want to scream. #JustFollowingOrders

@CStamp @merileedkarr @mcnado Honestly, if they were forced to wear masks they’d be nearly useless baggy-blues. Close enough to not masking that the difference isn’t worth fighting over.

Eggs for breakfast. #Caturday #catsOfMastodon #RipleyAndJonesy #JustRipley

@WarnerCrocker You won’t like their answer one bit.

@WarnerCrocker Better watch out

@WarnerCrocker @briankrebs It’s always been a cliché — well back into the heyday of newspapers — that reporters write the stuff that keeps the ads from touching.

Ripley says Hey! #CatsOfMastodon #RipleyAndJonesy #JustRipley

Look on the bright side:

Henry Kissinger and Margaret Thatcher are still dead.
