@Aurora_Alerts Ugh new Twitter is taking the joy (and basic functionality) out of Twitter. Thanks @Aurora_Alerts though for having set this up... yours are the only post notifications I've ever left enabled long term.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Although we will continue to post aurora storm watches here, there will be NO MORE REAL TIME AURORA ALERTS posted on this twitter feed. Sorry. Twitter wants to charge for these automated posts. You can still get 100% customized alerts at softservenews.com/members/regist…

Podcast casually dropped the word "synecdoche" to discuss AI, art, and humanity in the most appropriate illustration. Everything can be poetic.

Repairing is satisfying. This raincoat is ready for April showers 🌦🌷🌼🌸

Does "man handler" mean these gloves are for men, or for handling men? Large was the smallest size. Maybe women aren't the target customer segment for heavy duty outdoor gloves at a reasonable price.

@mulegirl 1) I was at Uniqlo for something else 2) I was open to lightweight and light-colored long pants in general to handle summer weather and mosquitoes 3) Uniqlo pants are made for short people like me so perfect length 4) Non-cotton so quick-drying and good for camping

@nathanwpyle Though interaction design standards tell me users stay focused on their current train of thought for 0.1 to 1 second... the comic 3 principle may have taken over my brain.

Does this question give anyone useful data? Does it successfully advertise for any of those companies? Is this a list of Canadian coffee chains? Is it exhaustive? Is Timmy's still considered Canadian? What if I drink tea? So many questions. Sometimes polls and surveys baffle me.

@kendrabirtch Nope! Are you? I've never used ADIEU. Reason being that D and U are not super common letters. I typically rotate through three-vowel words that have more common consonants like T N S R. But sometimes depart from that just for variety.

Checking out how others played Wordle after each puzzle has been the most fascinating part. I think of my strategy as "the" way to play, but it's a clear case of how user mental models can differ. Wordle 228 3/6 ⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 😂 avoiding that word cost a 2/6

@kendrabirtch Almost 15k words :') 👏

@CBchips Clam chowder would be fun. Chips n chowder

We’re excited to announce that we are adding a new permanent flavour to our East Coast Chips family! 👌⚓ This new flavour will be releasing across Canada in February! 🙌 Comment your guess for what the new chip flavour will be. There is a case up for grabs! 🎉🎉  #NewChips

@kendrabirtch My brain also had a hard time with today's for some reason. Took me a long time to decide

Logic plus gut instinct working together today feels good. Wordle 219 2/6 ⬛🟨🟩🟨⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I appreciate the extra element of risk in whether you choose to use your next guess on the word you've just thought of. And of luck in your starting word.

"A poem is when you hear the heartbeat of a stone, when words beat their wings. It is a song sung in a cage." A translation so beautiful I forgot it was a translation.

I will eat chips in a box, I will eat chips with a fox. Would I eat a box of chips in a box though? (Yes.)

To this day, I mentally say the phrase "just do it" in a Scottish accent. All because that's how a high school teacher said it.

@katewilhelm Very delicate indeed. Might be a pleated inkcap

I have never seen such delicate and enchanting fungi.

@CP24 @CP24, the tweet is inaccurate. The actual article does not say the age requirements will be scrapped. It just says the timeline for moving through the second dose plan from last week may be compressed and sped up, but will keep the structure. It's causing confusion.
