It was a little chilly out there today for June, but still a good day for a walk in the park.

Governments continuing to use #Twitter threads to communicate important information during an emergency is certainly a choice.

I wonder if they are aware that users now need an account in order to see more than one post in the thread at a time?

Here's the City of Calgary with a 7-tweet thread on the massive water main break, of which only one tweet is viewable.

So looking forward to welcoming back @pluralistic to #Calgary #yyc next week on the Wordfest stage at Memorial Park Library! Can’t believe it’s been a full year already! https://wordfest.com/2024/event/wordfest-presents-cory-doctorow-2/

Anyone recently move to Alberta? Or know anyone who has?

I'm looking to talk to recent newcomers (past year or two) for a CBC article about the job market here.

Please reply or DM!

As Calgary experiences a backlash against its single use plastics bylaw, this report is pretty relevant:

"But as DeSmog reported last year, advanced recycling is an industry concept, not a scientific one. In fact, according to CCI, “‘Advanced recycling’ is the industry’s most recent false solution intended to shield petrochemical companies from backlash associated with the plastic waste crisis they have created.”

"Essentially, when you're infected with #measles, your immune system abruptly forgets every pathogen it's ever encountered before"

"'Measles parties' are a really, really bad idea.
Do not expose your child to measles.
Get your child vaccinated. The MMR vaccine is safe and effective."
