@CBCEarlyEdition One obvious shrinkflation example, if nobody else has mentioned — Campbell’s ready to eat soups. Chunky on the right is the new style of can, taller and narrower with 25mL less soup.
@richardzussman Three years ago today I saw that news while on a bus to Science World for a full-school field trip. My husband and a few other teachers flew to Hawaii that day on a music dept trip (the only planned high school spring break trip our district didn’t cancel). Awkward in hindsight!
This is good news. Birth control isn’t just used for pregnancy prevention, either. This would have been a very welcome help to my budget 15 years ago when I was teaching on call, paying rent on only my scant income, and eating a lot of beans and rice! https://t.co/o9yEL0dcfV
@checkupcbc Summer Girl Guide camp at beautiful Camp Olave on the Sunshine Coast here in BC, for the first time since 2019! It was a fun but exhausting five days by the ocean for 100+ youth and leaders from the Vancouver area (and some friends from further afield).
Very cool map of mother tongues in Vancouver. A bit surprised to see such a clear west/east split in the prevalence of Cantonese vs. Mandarin speakers in the city. (Also today I learned the difference between “Yue” and “Cantonese”.)
👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/tlougFWg8B
@CBCStephenQuinn @CBCEarlyEdition My 25 year old boom box (“CD-to-tape synchro dubbing”!) and 20 year old clock radio are justifying their continued existence this morning for sure!
Reading A Wrinkle in Time to my class this spring. Keep being reminded of all the great quotes, moments, and messages in the book. I hope at least some of my students are having the story and ideas resonate with them as much as they have for me since I was their age.
inspired by the premier i'm going to use "my passion for health care got the better of me" as a catchall excuse for each time i scream at my enemies in the future
