Is it me or has Twitter, the Website, gotten considerably slower? Like I have a magnitude less of the traffic as I used to and it’s slogging. I’ve closed and opened browser tabs across Chromium and Firefox thinking it’d help.

I can’t tell if it’s aperture (I doubt it) but my feeds don’t seem to update quickly. This is me also assuming that aperture somehow knows about websub and uses that to update feeds. I’m guessing that’s not the case @aaronpk? How would a real time feed work with it?

I used to sit outside our house selling last year's Christmas cards out of an old briefcase. I'd use correction fluid to cover up the names inside, and of course the envelopes had been thrown away. I don't recall it being especially lucrative.
What weird small business did you run or attempt to run as a child?

I've just noticed that if one translates the year 2020 into words using the mnemonic major system one gets any of the following:
* incense
* heinousness
* insaneness
* noisiness
* nuisance
* uneasiness
* unwiseness
All seem so apt, which one to choose?boffosocko.com/2020/05/25/557…

I admit it, I am getting impatient and wrapped the currently cooking pork shoulder in foil to power through the stall. That said, in my experience, capturing that moisture and encouraging it to reabsorb into the meat is wise anyway. #TheCrutch 🐷🔥

"html": "<p>On May 18, 2020, <a href=\"https://journals.sfu.ca/jalt/index.php/jalt\"><strong>The Journal of Applied Learning and Teaching</strong></a> published a timely article that I am finding helpful as I begin my thinking about teaching <em>Tackling a WIcked Problem</em> (TWP) online this Fall: \u201c<a href=\"https://journals.sfu.ca/jalt/index.php/jalt/article/view/215/191\">Introducing the Tri-layered Student Online Experience Framework: Moving from file repository to narrative journey</a>,\u201d by Eager, Lehman, and Scollard. I\u2019m writing this summary of the article to deepen my understanding of the ideas presented.</p>\n<p>The thing that jumped out at me immediately on discovering this article was the subtitle: moving from file repository to narrative journey. This is related to something I said in my <a href=\"https://cathieleblanc.com/2020/05/24/tackling-a-wicked-problem-online/\">previous post</a>: \u201cI need to think about the tools I use for the class not just as places where I put stuff for the students to consume. Instead, these tools represent sites of activity, sites for community building.\u201d Another way I could have said this is that I need to think about the tools for the class as more than just a repository of files. Instead, I need to think about the journey that students will take through the class using these tools.</p>\n<p>Eager, Lehman, and Scollard start with a literature review through which they postulate that students view the online educational materials of a class as a \u201cvalue-added investment in exchange for their time.\u201d In other words, students ask themselves \u201cWhy should I engage with this online material?\u201d The literature review tells us that students will engage with course materials when the content is relevant (meaning that it is interesting and the student can see how the content will help them achieve the goals of the class), the content is aligned with their aspirations (which may include aspirations that are outside of the immediate academic experience), and the content is easy to find (meaning that the cognitive load required for understanding which content should be accessed when has been minimized).

Can someone please tell me why future Madonna travelled back to 1955 for a cameo in A Kiss Before Dying?
That is the only explanation I have for the transparent blouse and very visible bra in this woman of a certain age.
