@TheTimeWorrier If only she had writing like that for more of her time! 🥰 Great scene, great doctor, far too many badly written scenes throughout her incarnation.

@PLMorien @WhoPotterVian Brit-only thing?! I don’t think so! In Canada, Britbox streams classic Doctor Who, so having New Who or Future Who would make sense for us. It’s also available in the US.

@WilliamWhoDW …”didn’t really go anywhere” … yet! Surely some ingenious writers are up to that challenge 😃 - why throw away a perfectly good opportunity to expand the Whoniverse in interesting directions?!

I’m thankful for all the people working to make this province a better, safer, and more respectful province.

As we mark the fifth anniversary of the mass casualty in Nova Scotia, we pause to reflect on the 22 lives that were taken, honour their memories, and commit to continued support for all Nova Scotians and the work being done to ensure a future where this never happens again. 1/5

@JamesGIS @tara_taylor #NotABandwagon 🥰 If we don’t learn how these things work by engaging the technology, they remain black boxes, leaving us more afraid and less able to function in a world that will continue to develop, whether we like it or not.

@JamesGIS @tara_taylor Crafting effective prompts & critically assessing responses in ChatGPT is an effective learning exercise. Studying history isn’t memorizing dates & names, you can copy from a book as easy as copy from an AI. History students learn skills for the future too. #digitalLiteracy

@drcherylmac @stace_smith94 Sorry to say that LinkedIn isn’t any less a “social”, and I find its aggressive profit motive unbearable. Come dip into Bluesky @drcherylmac , the water’s fine!

@DrRob_Thacker @smuhalifax Not sure what *you’re* seeing, but having just come from the Day of the Dead event in the library, I’m certainly seeing something there! 😁
