@EvanDunfee @TeamCanada @AirCanada I think a world gold medal 🥇 merits special treatment on this occasion 😉

I owe so much thanks to @TeamCanada and @AirCanada! One thing I have been very nervous about since my hamstring tear is the flight home. Sitting is still very painful/ uncomfortable and a 9 hour flight was making me quite anxious. I reached out to our Olympic Team and asked if they could connect with Air Canada about maybe getting an upgrade. I’m not someone who ever expects special treatment, but the relief on my face when I checked in and saw 1D on my boarding pass was beyond belief. So thank you to the official Airline of Team Canada!

@RainingSawss @pogo_central If you live in a rural area. For me showcases are always either full or impossible to win even with XXLs

@pogo_central I feel bad for the people saying routes and showcases.. missing out on so many free rewards 😵‍💫

what’s one feature in pokémon go that, if it disappeared tomorrow, wouldn’t affect your gameplay one bit?

@hubbacollects Looks like a good haul to me

Terrible shiny rates today…😡 I cant wait for the compensation 😔🤯 #PokemonGo #ポケモンGO

@pokedaxi But why?

🤯 Trainer 728ben recently hit 10 Billion XP in Pokémon GO! Marking the Highest XP Count Ever!

@EvanDunfee Interesting ! Curious to see how it goes

@Creighton88 We are trialing the shoe sensors in Spain this week in 2 races. But I reckon LA would be an ambitious target to be exclusively relying on them. Will be cool to see how they work though.

World Athletics is using GPS timing this year for the marathon and race walks in Tokyo. We are one step closer to my vision of Mario Kart style live leaderboards and course maps!

@journalofpolit1 @PolEcoNet @GrassrootsJPE Thanks Simon. I did express these concerns to the Sage editor when approached. It seemed they would go ahead anyways. Better to have critical academics engage than not? @rkeil your thoughts?

@Creighton88 One of the Big Five commercial publishers. Its a contradiction. APCs - Sage Choices lists at $3400 already, even if not charged - similar to Env & P E. Alternative radical publishing models exist. All you had to do was ask. Simon #urbanpoliticalecology @PolEcoNet @GrassrootsJPE
