Today is Tim Horton’s Camp Day.

Visit Tim Horton’s to buy a coffee or iced coffee and help change a life by sending youth from disadvantaged circumstances to Tim Hortons Foundation Camps.

There are a couple different ways to send a kid to camp, the easiest is to buy a hot or iced coffee at a Tim Hortons, but you can also help by:

  • Purchase a Camp Day bracelet for $2 or Camp Day socks for $5.
  • Round Up your order or drop change into the coin box.
  • Purchase a Rent-a-Tent window decal.
  • Make a one-time or monthly donation in a restaurant or online.

Discounted tickets are now available for this years North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

NAIAS tickets are available for $15 per person, $5 off the regular price. The cost of a child (3-12 years old) is $10. Two years and younger are free.

Unlike previous years, the Detroit auto show will be held September 17-25th. For years the show has been held in early January.

Twitter is launching a new feature called Unmention.

It will allow all users to remove themselves from a conversation that includes their Twitter handle. The platform first introduced the feature to a small group of users in April, but now it’s available to everyone.

You might want to use this feature yourself if you’re stuck in a toxic conversation or simply don’t want to receive notifications for a thread you’re a part of. Unmentioning untags your username, stops notifications for the thread, and also prevents anyone in the thread from tagging you again.

Twitter is also working on a couple of other new features: the platform is currently testing a way to co-author a tweet and is also looking into a new long-form Notes feature for users tired of the 280-character limit.
