  yeah no i think after three severe storms in ten days we were all eagerly waiting for the next one. right, #yeg? The good news is, all the damn trees and branches that are already down can't come down again. 🙃 #yegwx #abstorm

  Absolutely getting pelted by this storm. Half a tree has come down onto my vehicle. You can't see anything with this mix of rain and hail. Id guess 100kph winds? This is the most bizarre one yet. Road is flooded again. #yegwx #abstorrm

  Severe thunderstorm alert for just West of #yeg. Red warning. 🔴 This one looks NASTY. Baseball sized or greater (!!) hail etc. Vaguely tracking towards #Edmonton. "At 7:43 p.m. MDT, Environment Canada meteorologists are tracking an extremely dangerous thunderstorm capable of producing damaging wind gusts, baseball size or greater hail and heavy rain. This dangerous thunderstorm is just west of Entwistle and is moving to the east at 45 km/h." #yegwx #abstorm

  wowowow we have a coveted lakefront property again!! (We are not located near a lake. Just at a regular old intersection.) #yegwx #abstorm

  This has potential to become nasty, with downpours, hail, and a possible tornado. Be safe everyone https://www.reddit.com/r/Edmonton/s/rbXM9xoAMx #yegwx #abstorm

  Let's just call off this tournament. What a joke. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/05/us/trump-fifa-balogun-world-cup.html #WorldCup

  Wo wir ja jetzt wissen, dass das geht #Balogun - kann da nicht der Merz mal anrufen und das Tor von Tah zurueckverlangen? 🧐 Oder ist das so ne Sonderregel, die nur fuer die USA gilt, und/oder wenn der Gottkoenig himself da anruft? #WM #WM2026

  It's fine my friends, just have the king call FIFA tomorrow to have the red card for Quansah be suspended ✌️ #WorldCup #MEXENG

  Oh heyyyy so we thought we made it through yesterday's #abstorm unscathed - imagine our surprise when we found out that it had fried our furnace thermostat 😊 We noticed when I tried to force the furnace-fan on after mopping the place, and nothing happened. At least it's not the furnace. But still. This is one of the many reasons I don't like power outages - they have a habit of frying things. #yegwx

  Mildly concerned with that tornado-warned storm that's west of the city and tracking due east. Definitely gathering up the weather radio and battery packs, and making sure there's water and snacks in the basement. #abstorm #yegwx

  I think we have a right to know interference by *what* animal. Magpie? Squirrel? Bison!? https://www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/article/animal-interference-results-in-3k-edmontonians-without-power-epcor/ #yeg #Edmonton

  I just heard from someone whose company is hiring, and the recruiter reached out to two candidates *who both were not real people. * Apparently there's these shops in India or wherever that literally pay workers to send out fake job applications under fake identities. A) how this operation makes money I do not know - like what on earth is the point here!? B) PLEASE TURN OFF THE DYSTOPIA TAP, thank you

  taking recommendations for how to not get plunged into a pit of depression today with the smooth transition from "rain events of the century" to "localized flooding and also please don't flush your toilets" to "it feels like the tropical pyramid in the entire city" to "there are monster mosquitoes that get me through my jeans" and now SMOKE #yegWX #Edmonton #yeg

  > "This is the defective reasoning that caused Comrade Trump to hormuz the world into the full Gretacene. Whereas once the case for the energy transition was driven by activists who warned people about the future consequences of inaction, Trump has summoned up a new army of people who are worried about the present consequences of inaction: such as not being able to drive your car, use your gas stove, or fertilize your crops." @pluralistic once again on fire 🔥 https://...

  So I am roughly 95% towards burnout & super unhappy w/ what my role has become. Started looking around for a new job. Which means I am back in the hell of: - discovering dozens of Senior Data Analyst roles that are actually Senior Data Eng, or, worse, AI annotation - Remote and Hybrid roles that aren't - UNPAID (!) jobs - being on my eighth Workday account - Full Time Senior roles that are actually internships - typing *everything I just uploaded* again, into a JavaScript form...

  Are there any, ANY Data Analytics, Visualization, Storytelling jobs out there that DO NOT require the use of AI just for the sake of AI? I truly feel like I need to leave my current job as it has become unsustainable for me for multiple reasons, but whatever job ad I see out there also says AI this, AI that, and *for no good reason.* Just so they can say we "do AI." ... does this exist? am I looking for a unicorn? #fediJobs #getFediHired #data #analytics

  OK so don't get me wrong, I really VERY DEEPLY appreciate that they're taking care of our water and making sure it is safe to use, but GOOD LORD when I took a shower this morning I felt like I was at Commonwealth pool with all that chlorine #yeg #Edmonton

  goob morning. it's a new dawn wanna know how many times I was asked to install AI, use #copilot , sign in to my online account, or have my stuff stored on some cloud infrastructure by default? ✨ ZERO TIMES ✨ (the way it should be) (yes there are still some issues - you will note not all apps have an icon in the panel 😂 there's a bug that means currently no shortcuts that use Tab can be assigned to anything, but hey.) @pop_os_official #popOS #linux #Catppuccin

  hellloooo #PopOS fiends. How does one type/select emoji on 24.04 #Cosmic!? I've tried Super + period, Super + semicolon (both do nothing), have checked the shortcuts menu for mentions of emoji (none), have installed the Emoji Mart and later Emote flatpaks (they open but won't enter emoji into any text field - may be an X11/Cosmic issue?) help!? I am a millennial and I truly need emoji access on my system 😭 #Linux #boostOK

  If you ever find yourself curious about the #mastodon reporting process, this is still the most in-depth description of it, start-to-finish, that I've ever come across: https://community.hachyderm.io/blog/2024/09/01/hachyderms-introduction-to-mastodon-moderation-the-report-feature-and-moderator-actions/ includes: what do the local mods/admins see? what do the remote mods/admins see if I choose to forward my report there as well? what does a #moderation queue look like?

  Wouldn't it suck if people had to do performance review processes that spanned four months of the year (that's a full third...), where they aren't even graded on how well they are fulfilling the requirements of their role, but also against some unknown "going above and beyond" rubric? And wouldn't it be even suckier if they were ""encouraged"" to use a chatbot for next year's ~~goals~~ based on said r...
