This is cool news. "AirPods Pro Hearing Aid Feature Launching in These Canadian Provinces" #Alberta #BritishColumbia #NewBrunswick #PrinceEdwardIsland #Saskatchewan This will unlock the 'hearing test' feature too. "the 5-minute hearing test allows adults to identify if they have hearing loss ..."

If you plan to go see 'You Can See Everything', go with a group. If you go with a group, go to an early show. Go to an early show so that afterwards your group can use the _next_ 3 hours to deconstruct the experience over dinner/drinks. #YCSE

Yup, yup it does.

Flat tire? No jack? No problem.

Devoting your social time to platforms where you control your own account and your own data, is the only real long term solution to hating billionaires controlling their own platforms.

Here’s the episode in podcast form: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/a...

I often see this plaque on a house in downtown Fredericton. Quite moving. Think of how great he must have felt being able to do that for his family at age 18.

My support for bluesky/atproto is pretty much explicitly a "political" project. It is bad for a small number of (mostly right-wing) people to literally own all the sources of media. Open-source algorithms + the ability to move your account without negative network effects opposes this.

The next level of trojan dragnet arrives on the field. You may think ‘I’m not affected by this’. But when you txt a friend that has it installed and they explicitly or mistakenly gave it access to their phone’s txt messages, Meta captures _your_ conversation participation.

It's a #TomPetty playlist day.

"The tour, called “Le goût du paysage” (roughly “a taste of the landscape”), was put together by Papillons. That’s the Quebec company behind the RechargÉco fast-charging network, which it operates across Quebec and #NewBrunswick."

How would you describe your social media reach? (if you feel like describing it)

bless the heart of chainsaw guy* cranking it at 8am on Labour Day Monday morn. * _I_ don't know it's 100% a guy, but _we_ all know it's a guy.

Am I the only one that didn't know Jean Chrétien co-starred with Jack Black's Dad, and Obi Wan Kenobi in this movie? #MovieTrivia

Bon 15 Août! ⭐️🟦⬜️🟥Here's a thread of french Acadian jams from Atlantic Canada. If you're an anglo marritimer you legally have to listen to at least one Acadian sawng today. Même chose pour les Québecois, faut écouter une toune Acadienne AJD. Kicking off with my daughters favorite LesHayBabies song.

We've all heard of 'drive through province'. "Fly-Over Province" is a new one on me. www.afar.com/magazine/thi...

People: You can't just post one line from a song and expect everyone to know the song. Me: 8ight 6ix 7even 5ive 3hree 0hh 9ine

for a junk drawer to legally qualify as a real junk drawer, what is the ONE absolute mandatory item it must include? ... at least one safety pin, in open position, primed to impale the person scratching about for an HB pencil with a smidgen of usable eraser.

Some unexpected entertainment in the neighbourhood today. The city just installed the first of 4 speed bumps on our street. It is (currently) unmarked. To the unprepared, it looks like a shadow from an adjacent tree. Many vehicles hitting it at full speed. Badoom.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

We're very fortunate to have a family of #Cardinals around the house.

There should be a term for that moment of revelation of a stunningly obvious but long elusive reality.

Shout out to CAA Atlantic. They provided exceptional service today. Both Janet the agent (in SJ) and Tyson the local Tech. #CAA #Huzzah
