Mr Musk has a goal to fulfill:
See Twitter conform to his will.
This site is a curse,
He can’t make it worse,
Some sensibly argue, but still

[Matthew Shallenberger @mjshally]

This whole "the NYT ruined Wordle!" thing is a great case study in confirmation bias. It also gives us some insight into human nature that helps explain how conspiracy theories work.

Thank you God for all good things and especially for Raffi

[Amarjeet Sohi @AmarjeetSohiYEG]

Edmonton, I love you. And I am so proud to be your Mayor.

The next chapter of our story starts tonight.

Let’s get to work.

[Ryan Jespersen @ryanjespersen]

In spite of an absentee premier, health minister, and CMOH, true leaders emerge. It’s ridiculous this initiative is needed in the first place, but a huge shout out to the health professionals going above and beyond (yet again). #COVID19AB #ableg #ABhealth

We know things will be different this election. There are many ways to vote safely. If you vote in person, measures will be in place to keep you safe. Or you can vote by mail. Learn more at https://t.co/SLo8lhNhMx #ItsOurVote

[Rachel Notley @RachelNotley]

Soon we won’t have a case count because we won’t be testing for COVID-19.

Let that sink in. Then get loud and tell Jason Kenney to restore testing, isolation of the sick and contact tracing. We can’t afford to stay silent on this. #ableg #abhealth

The @CityofEdmonton is monitoring the #COVID19AB situation closely and Council will discuss any changes to the City's response at our next Emergency Advisory Committee scheduled for August 12, 2021. Read my statement:

#COVID19 #Edmonton #yegcc #YEG

[City of Edmonton @CityofEdmonton]

Starting August 6, the default speed limit will be 40 km/h on most residential and downtown roads in Edmonton. Tell your friends, family & neighbours about how 40 km/h improves safety for everyone. Be part of the change! Visit https://t.co/5MfTxqzGWH

[Alberta Health Services @AHS_media]

Albertans looking for a first or second dose of #covidvaccine can get an early appointment by choosing Moderna as their preference, due to current vaccine supply in the province.

[VaxHunterAB @ab_vax]

Today's mission - check on all your friends and family had their first shot in March or April to make sure they know they're eligible to book. You don't have to return to your original pharmacy. Still lots of appointments available through AHS (https://t.co/BRSq3s4eWg) #abvax

[Vaccine Hunters Canada @VaxHuntersCan]

[AB] The eligibility for second doses has changed. If you first dose was in April, you can book your second shot NOW.

There is a difference between knowing our history and venerating figures who caused harm, and Edmontonians have made it clear to me that these concerning landmarks are not in keeping with their aspirations for reconciliation. 3/5

New plot. Forget SK's 70% target. Too weak! New guide: The road to 75. Let's turn each of these GREEN! #ableg

(h/t to my Twitter-lurking IRL friend Peter for the idea to change the fill color once 75% is met. All complaints should be sent to him, handle unknown)

Be like Han, take the first shot. #CovidVaccine #MayThe4thBeWithYou

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

Alberta is lowering the minimum age to receive the Astra Zeneca Covid-19 vaccine from 55 to 40.

This decision is based on growing scientific knowledge about the vaccine & is based on @CMOH_Alberta’s advice.

Details will follow tomorrow morning, & bookings will open for Tuesday
