City of St. John's moving off #Twitter/X. Fire department, also.
Quote counciller Ophelia Ravencroft:
“And I feel that we as a city have an obligation to do better than continuing to engage in any kind of platform that promotes hateful ideology, transphobia, racism, fascism, many other varieties of bigotry, and is flatly an unsafe environment for everybody on it.”

I wonder how long these #PayPhones will continue to exist here. By the old Fortis building, #StJohns.
There used to be a bunch of payphones nearby on Water St., which would be used by (international) vessels tied up at the quay, in the days before the harbour fence.

Nur noch fünf Tage bis zur #Bundestagswahl und ich hab immer noch nicht meine #Briefwahl-Unterlagen bekommen, obwohl ich schon Anfang Januar die Bestätigung bekommen habe, dass ich im Wählerverzeichnis eingetragen wurde.
2021 kam der Brief knapp zwei Wochen vor der Wahl und ich hab sie sofort per #CanadaPost ExpressPost zurückgeschickt. Aber diesmal bin ich mir nicht sicher ob selbst das noch ausreichen würde.

Oh drat, with high winds across the island (#Newfoundland) shutting down ferries and stranding flights (including UA23, a 777 from Newark to Dublin which diverted to #YYT)...
A container ship, 'MSC Baltic III' (2500 TEU, ~200m), has grounded off Lark Harbour, just outside Corner Brook.
#CCG are responding, but this boat is probably there until weather improves.

#Newfoundland launches a new ’buy local' campaign, 'Buy From Newfoundland and Labrador' with a yellow logo.
I guess this takes over from the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters NL (CME-NL) 'Manufactured Right Here' program, which used to have little Nfld flag rondels everywhere but I guess it kaput now.
Nifty, but.. won't yellow blend in with the jam jam packaging?
