Is anyone as surprised as he is that the kettle is black? #yycvote

@arunadsouza @lemonsinalberta @paulisci @MelaneeLThomas @Paulatics So I'd say the number of vaccinated people getting ill (in relative terms vs. unvaccinated people) aren't terribly out of line between U.S. & AB. But I'm sure Paula has some more math-y folks than me following her. I'm just a journo who tries to defy the bad at math stereotype :)

@arunadsouza @lemonsinalberta @paulisci @MelaneeLThomas @Paulatics Here are two good bits of data: https://t.co/9oUyClMrW2
and https://t.co/MTgdVTc8GI

Alberta's worst age range is 80+, where 182.3/100K vaxxed are hospitalized (vs. 1924 unvaxxed) -- a rate about 10.55x higher for unvaxxed. That CDC page shows 8.3x higher rate for all ages.

@EmmaMci @thenarwhalca @fatimabsyed @balkissoon Nice congrats, @EmmaMci (and @reporteremma, think you got a good one, here!)

I like to view Twitter as a platform for building self-control. Where people post things that are clearly incorrect or misleading, and I type up a big response three times before thinking better of it and deleting.

@JTVDV88 At least back in those days all or most of the menu was visible instead of the restaurant somehow expecting you to know everything they offer.

And a gif for you

Took a bunch of cardboard to the local recycling bins. The person who was there when I arrived seemed surprised when I questioned whether their pillows were recyclable.

@mpotkins @meksmith @DuaneBratt Welcome back, Potkins!

@paulisci If I'd had hail I might feel differently, but right now Hellstorm 2021 is my leading candidate for mayor after helping cool down my house to a livable temperature.

[Jamie Dirom @jamiedirom]

@paulisci I'm sorry if this is a question that's been covered ad nauseam, but how many Cronks have you tried so far?
