#Komoks #FirstNation has released a statement #denouncing a performance by the #controversial group #DangerCats scheduled for Thurs, May 30, at an undisclosed location in #Comox.

The group was in the news in Feb when a scheduled performance at Rick Bronson’s House Of Comedy in #NewWestminster was #cancelled due to #backlash over t-shirts belittling the victims of #SerialKiller #RobertPickton.

A Bowes-Lyon done for drunk driving? Phew! Thank goodness they weren't involved in a French based underpass accident.

I have a potentially #controversial #Mastodon question that I’ve been wondering about for a while. It’s about the generic home #timeline #feed and its simple #algorithm.

For those who do not use tools to curate their home timeline, I understand that my post shows up in their timeline based on its datetime. If I post something and then #boost a bunch of additional posts, am I burying my “real” post?

Across #China - students are seen gathering outside campuses during #lunchtime waiting for homemade meals to be delivered by parents/relatives.

In several videos that have made the rounds on #Chinese social media, groups of teengers in cities like #Ganzhou & #Wuxi can be seen gulping down meals outside the school gate. This is in response to a #controversial change at #ChineseSchools where ready-to-eat #food has largely replaced freshly cooked dishes.
