Why is @CepheidNews intentionally price-gouging the world's poorest people for tuberculosis tests? And what can you do about it? #PeopleOverProfits

In Toronto, the big stadium is called the SkyDome. It was renamed Rogers Center in 2005, but a lot of people still call it the SkyDome. I wonder if this will happen with Twitter and the new name X. When people don't like a name change they just stick with the old name. – at Oakville, Ontario

For #BellLetsTalk I'm going to share my friend's post about her brother and the horrible difficulties in getting mental health help in Ontario. Beyond just one day of talk, the province needs to do a much better job in funding services.
In Canada, #BellLetsTalkDay is coming up. In memory of my baby brother, Casey, I'll reshare what I wrote last year about the absolute, Kafkaesque futility of accessing mental health/substance abuse disorder treatment in Ontario.

For Christmas my 6 year old daughter got me a wonderful handmade Star Wars Jokes book. She drew all the characters herself and the punchline / pun is hidden by a flap. The Star Wars puns remind of @kelly_knox joke tweets.

This is confirmed. With Chrome 91, after you install a PWA on desktop, you can go to chrome://apps, right-click on a PWA, and select "Start App When..." and the PWA will start automatically on startup.

1/7 This Twitter.com website can occasionally be used to create some wondrous things.
Tonight, it fostered an idea that resulted in the creation of a tool — that can allow people to find the closest vaccine clinic to them by sending out a simple text. #covidontario

I got my copy of @tederick's book today "The Cinema of Survival" in the mail today!
My daughter was asking about the book. I told her someone I know of liked a movie so much that they wrote a book about it & published it themselves. Her response "You can DO THAT?!"
