Since "Chinese Spy Balloon" is trending: In 1945, the crew of USS New York spotted a sphere that they thought might be a Japanese balloon weapon. The captain ordered it shot down but none of the guns could score a hit. Finally, a navigator realized they were attacking Venus.

If Tua takes the field tonight, it's a massive step back for #concussion care in the NFL. If he has a 2nd concussion that destroys his season or career, everyone involved will be sued & should lose their jobs, coaches included. We all saw it, even they must know this isn't right

We water liberally so grass can thrive, then spend hours every Sunday negating that hard work, mowing a few centimetres off a plant that grows a few centimetres each week. This seems like madness econ.st/3w9EPl7

Today is the 13th day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. By point of comparison, the most dangerous phase of the Cuban missile crisis lasted 13 days in all. A thread on the similarities and differences between the two crises. 1/

Fun fact. 15% of the searches we see every day have never been Googled before.

What is something that you are 100% sure has never been Googled?



If you're a mountain biker in YEG please check out the EMBA website regarding the city's Ribbon of Green initiative. It potentially threatens 90% of the singletrack. I believe we want the city to recognize these trails as an asset and work with the mtn bike community. #yegbike
