@twitandrewking This drone recreation is really impressive
114 years on, Belfast witnesses a full-scale drone Titanic depart into the night...a powerful tribute.

Thought it was interesting @stan_sdcollins that found on a beach in UK (Cornwall I think) this morning was transatlantic flotsam that included bait jars from Newfoundland.
Found this loop-the-loop toy washed up this morning among transatlantic flotsam that included bait jars from Newfoundland and noticed one of the bugs had a goose barnacle attached and it made us wonder if they'd been looping the loop together all across the Atlantic.

@twitandrewking what could have been at the corner of Island Park Drive and Richmond Rd in Ottawa. Other cities can have cool adaptive reused vintage gas station with outdoor seating.

@greenleejw Baby eels still making history. Poaching in Atlantic Canada leading to death threats, intimidation, and assaults. Hear report on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation 'The House" Feb 24th podcast.

Thought @WorldBollard you would like to know that the security system that protected the front gates of the Parliament Hill of Canada from being rammed open by a vehicle was bollards. Thank you bollards for your work.
Ottawa police have one person in custody after a vehicle rammed the front gates of Parliament Hill on Wellington Street early this morning. cbc.ca/1.6539968

Why @Toon_Dreessen do we not get LRT stations in Ottawa that can be described as “calming” ?
The design of London’s new Elizabeth Line is mesmerisingly, compellingly boring. Everywhere looks the same. It’s smooth, shiny, stretched, neat, perfect and seamless.
I love it.

@cbcallinaday The Merry Derry ice cream truck went from community to community today bringing its truck’s generator and setting up a charging station. Good neighbours.
Morning. Today is a different kind of track the truck day. No soft serve. Just electricity made by the truck generator to charge what needs to be charged. At McKellar Park now and elsewhere throughout the day.
@GlasgowCoA does this document belong in your Glasgow coat of arms collection ?
Difficult to read but this handcoloured parchment from 1776 admits Thomas Littleton(?) as a Burgess and Gild Brother of the City of Glasgow. A brilliant ephemeral survival.

@ShawnMenard1 @cmckenney seems those trucks downtown and circulating through residential streets are violating the terms of their liability insurance. Does the OPS know this ?
This quoted post is unavailable.
@smwgilbert thugs on LRT threatening masked youth to take off your mask if you want to board a LRT train. What is happening in this City ?
Hey @JimWatsonOttawa, a friend of my daughter was not allowed on LRT today unless — as she was told by a group of thugs — she took off her mask. Fix this now.

So @harry_fosters that blue jay you photographed was using his remiges to brake and steer into the bird feeder. Did look unsure of its skills not to crash.
The feathers a bird uses to fly, as opposed to those that cover the rest of its body, are collectively known as REMIGES (“rem-i-jeez”). It literally means ‘oarsmen’ in Latin.
@twitandrewking had you ever imagined that service animals are going to be replaced with robots? Interesting interview on CBC all in a day this afternoon. Just need to make robots cute.
#queensu expert Lisa Carver @QUartsci writes op-ed in Timmons Today about designing robots to be more like service animals. Republished from @conversationCA. timminstoday.com/local-news/…

@cmckenney why can't Ottawa have plastic receptacles at dog parks and transit station ? Why can't we walk out everyday with bottles to recycle at City recycling sites in the streets ? Why are we told to store items for 2 weeks until next City collection day @jchianello ?
@cmckenney does Jellybean have a friend called Makaila ? Very nice of her to rent the Mayfair’s marquee today for a friend’s birthday.
On the marquee today, happy birthday wishes to Makaila (whom we have on good authority is very sweet and kind), from Paul and Jellybean.
We look forward to having them visit for a belated birthday movie soon
Please click over to mayfairtheatre.ca/contact/ for marquee rental info.
Idea for a post pandemic party @Toon_Dreessen ?
