Montreal’s mayor says she’s concerned about the economic impact of a plan announced last week to nearly double the tuition for students from other provinces enrolled in Quebec’s English universities.
Test in New Zealand and Philippines: "X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, will begin charging new users $1 a year to access key features including the ability to tweet, reply, and quote, according to a source familiar with the matter and later confirmed by the company."

Can't make this stuff up. The tyranny of the mob is in full force. Of course it's a southern state. In this case, the backasswards state of Alabama.
Children's book put on watch list in Alabama because its author's last name is 'Gay'
Remember #Patreon set up new on-by-default sharing of your account information with every other Patreon user (and maybe the world)? Remember people posting how to turn it off, because they were using confusing language/dark patterns to try to #trick you into oversharing?
I got the "welcome to the new Patreon" today, and ... they've turned the "Community Profile" setting back on after I deliberately turned it off.
"We gotta get our #engagement numbers up somehow, so the #VCs will give us more #money and maybe help us get to our #IPO, so we can retire #rich".
Ya, by #spamming your users? Jebus, don't they have at least one #adult in the room to ride herd on the ninny #MBAs that make these kinds of #stupid decisions?
@gfarrell As if you could view anything as approaching purity in religion, this is a clear cut case of corrupted Christianity. I can only assume that too many of them are #STUPID throwing in the equivalent of Beelzebub who has promised them a golden calf. Who knew? A lot of us. How long do you have to suffer this level of hypocrisy to realize these people have run amuck? 🤔
It's really unfortunate timing here in #Canada that #Trudeau fatigue is crossing over with the rise of religious barbarism in America, aka the blueprint for how our Cons will push it on in on us from the prairies.
I am sorry to you my LGBTQ friends.
Doubly unfortunate that if Trudeau had kept his promises about first past the post this wouldn't be an issue, the shit piece.
If your government is doing business with lobbyists that dress up like mobsters you may want to think twice about who you do business with? #onpoli#FraudFest#GreenbeltScandal#MrX
@Pinchy63@gemelliz@wes Shocking. Who could possibly have known? #DrugFord associated with criminal organizations? How would anyone ever find this out before they voted for them???
you can't fight stupid? #stupid
Fox News pundit and Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen railed against Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy’s foreign policy proposals, calling them “criminally stupid,” and “utterly disqualifying.”
Thiessen took to social media on Monday in response to an article Ramaswamy wrote with The American Conservative centered on how he would approach the Russia-Ukraine war and U.S. relations with China.
Techies: So anyway, the "little" media are hurt much worse by this. They're mostly only on the #internet. They're small, as you say. Most of their traffic came from #Facebook and #Google. #Heck, so did most of yours. But you can fall back on your big names and your #TV stations or #newspapers.
#NewMedia: Ya, it really #hurt us. I don't know if we'll #survive. We didn't even get a seat at the table when this was being #discussed; we knew it was #stupid.
tl;dr: As with everything to do with #conservatism, it's a mixture of #Evil and #Stupid, in varying proportions.
(But it isn't too long, so do click through and read the whole thing. #Campos is, for my money, the best writer at #LawyersGunsAndMoney, and that is not a low bar.)
