So you want something like a PBS of the internet (or public access), rather than a CBC. Maybe somebody should make a Canadian Media Fediverse Syndicate or something like that. Maybe you could do it! I don't want to moderate that kind of thing though. I want CBC to focus on news. It's important that we get information.
I disagree. They should spend less on flashy nonsense (expensive sets) and scripted drama/comedy, but they should set and maintain journalistic standards among professionals. The internet provides enough citizen journalism. We need professionals with dedicated beats, anchors and analysts who really know their domains, long-form journalism and documentaries. Professionalism more than ever. It's seriously lacking.
That would be interesting. But CBC absolutely hates public engagement. Plus I cringe at the thought of 75% of the CBC budget being spent on content moderation.
Why doesn't the Tyee start their own Mastodon server?
No they weren't lol. They're nothing but a gimmick. I know there's a lot of good programming in there... but I doubt it solves any problems. It's basically a walking NFT.
Tens of thousands of radioactive fuel fragments escaped from the Dounreay plant between 1963 and 1984, polluting local beaches, the coastline and the seabed. Fishing has been banned within a two-kilometre radius of the plant since 1997.
Since 2008, over 2,300 radioactive particles have been recovered from the seabed, with 351 removed by a remotely operated underwater vehicle this summer.
The most radioactive of the particles are regarded by experts as potentially lethal if ingested. Similar in size to grains of sand, they contain caesium-137, which has a half-life of 30 years, but they can also incorporate traces of plutonium-239, which has a half-life of over 24,000 years...
The plant's operator at the time, the UK Atomic Energy Authority, was fined £140,000.
Oh that'll teach em.
I still think we should replace much of our fossil-fuel energy with nuclear, but let's never call it "green." Energy comes at an extremely high cost. This kind of thing makes it hard to advocate for nuclear (although I think we have safer methods now).
My "primitive motivations" are on full display, not covered at all. The "primitive motivation" is to show your kid how to not let people walk all over you.
You absolutely should not be a third wheel for the adulterous ex and her cheating-partner guy.
I never said anything about teaching lessons to the ex. You brought that idea in from nowhere.
100%. At best it's extremely disrespectful. At worst it's a petty power play. And you don't want to teach your child to allow themselves to be treated that way.
No. I actually think it sets a bad example for the kid. Your wife is allowed to leave you and be with somebody else. But she's wretchedly petty to transform you into a third wheel in front of your child. Your kid should see that you're above that. Just like your kid needs to see that you can still get along with the mother.
I literally said:
