Why wouldn’t they get an actor? It’s not a terrible idea honestly but 😬

I was part of Research Manitoba when the previous govt ‘reorganized’ aka de-organized and de-funded and began to prioritize funding private industry. Lots of good people got caught up in the devastation. Hoping it can be renewed.

I think in this particular case, I would do the strategic vote even if I felt strongly for the green or NDP candidate ONLY because it is PP and it would be so glorious if he lost his seat.

Sorry I meant red! It looked a little pink in my light. The answer is always red or pink! ;)

It’s self-serving for sure but I also think he can do more good as premier of a province than an MP/leader of federal party that won’t be in power.

He should stay right where he is.

I love it. I have nostalgia for their younger days and wish I could visit those days for short amounts of time, but I just love them getting older.

I tried them for the first time a few weeks ago and omg the pastry!! I had no idea they could be this good!!

Hey. The fragmentation of the social media landscape has been hard on indie #scicomm 🧪 projects So if you'd like to follow a podcast that's enthusiastic about #linguistics, could you check out @lingthusiasm.bsky.social? And if you think your followers might like to, could you give this a repost?

I was thinking Michigan! I could stay in Ontario and drive across, but nah, that’s not a good idea either. I didn’t go to Florida for political reasons, I should probably stay away from Michigan too. It’s so sad, I love NWAV. Doing CVC this year instead but it’s really not the same.

Nicole Rosen @nikkivi.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

NWAV 2026 in Montreal!! I’ll have to skip this year probably, sadly :(

Honestly, there are enough other incentives to move right now, aren’t there?

Nicole Rosen @nikkivi.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

Maybe the UK should get on board! What’s the holdup?

Nicole Rosen @nikkivi.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

lol, from that article: "RBC analysts wrote in a note that the February numbers … "might not be indicative of true demand. New car buyers in Europe, …could be holding out for the Model Y refresh," or a "new affordable model," yeah that must be it

Yep this is why I stopped watching him mid 2024 election coverage. Couldn’t take him anymore

This is absolutely horrifying. What a monster she is.

I change the names and in an ideal world I try to add/change a sentence or two that is relevant to the particular program/potential advisor, but it depends if I actually have something to say about it or not. But I’m also writing single digits of student letters normally

Nicole Rosen @nikkivi.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Ok now I’m saying both over and over and now they’re both ok 🙄😂

Nicole Rosen @nikkivi.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

I guess because of the prosody. Need the trochees if you’re going to say it properly with emphasis on both IN and FUCK. In writing it’s less important. I prefer B for both but written A doesn’t bother me as much.

Nicole Rosen @nikkivi.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Orally B is better but in writing they’re both fine

Provincially that may be true but there are many federal ridings in Manitoba that are strongly liberal. In Winnipeg, anyway.

lol to the French slogan. Tell me you don’t care about French without telling me you don’t care about French

It doesn’t seem like blocking by the courts does anything, does it?

Oh hey that’s a new article we just published in CJL! Thanks for the boost

Nicole Rosen @nikkivi.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

I am also pretty sure this change was due to member complaints, not an arbitrary director decision

Do other sports allow minors to play with adults? I know in hockey 16+ can in certain leagues with a waiver but I don’t think it’s normal. I think the addition of a family league is a good idea to allow for those who don’t want to play against kids and those who do

000

Nicole Rosen @nikkivi.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

There’s a Sunday family league that I’m planning on playing in with my son. They just made a new league instead of having them play with adults. Honestly it’s probably safer overall, even if it’s a drag for individuals

On the plus side, at least we know that the 2025 Canadian Word of the Year will be ‘Elbows up!’ #woty #cwoty
