Baltimore’s The Charmery created a flavor in honor of swimmer Michael Phelps’ 23 Olympic gold medals. The shop started serving the limited-edition flavor Phelps Phlapjack Gold this week. The chocolate chip pancake-flavored ice cream was made using pancakes from Pete’s Grille. It’s a breakfast the Maryland-born Phelps has been known to eat.

The store has honored other Baltimore athletes with flavors.

Twitter unveils features to filter tweets, notifications

SAN FRANCISCO

Twitter has announced two new settings that will allow users to control what they see in their feeds and what notifications they receive.

Twitter says in a blog post that it has modified its notification settings to include the ability to see only notifications from people they follow. It’s also introducing what it calls a “quality filter” that it says can improve the quality of tweets users see. Twitter says the feature will filter out duplicate tweets or content that appears to be automated.

The announcement from San Francisco-based Twitter comes a month after “Saturday Night Live” and “Ghostbusters” star Leslie Jones publicly called on Twitter to do more to curb harassment on the platform. Twitter banned one user in response to the incident.
