Just say "yellow advisory for snowfall", don't bother with saying yellow-coded. Yellow is referring to the advisory, not, you know, anything else.

Colbert posted the interview online. I do wonder if CBS and the FCC are aware of the Streisand effect? The interview has been up for 8 hours and has just over half a million views.

I may have a stroke. Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.” A PROTESTant. I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

Greenlandic politician and former MP Tillie Martinussen: “We do not want to be rich like [USians]. Look how greedy they are, even trying to invade their friends. We would not sell ourselves.”

Something I often think about came from a book about climate, when it talked about 4 essential types of action: Protest: call out the bad Reform: mitigate harm in existing systems Healing those already harmed Building alternatives to demonstrate that a better way is possible

Didn't expect to see a wild turkey outside of the school I was working at today but the secretary said this is the last of the six that have been around for the last few years.

Here's to the constant of coffee and Sudoko mornings in 2026.

I would like an app that will tell me where Madagascar Lindt chocolate bars are on sale in Winnipeg at any given moment in time please.

I'm sharing this here, as I have on Facebook and Instagram, but there's no account on here to share from, and I just think this is wonderful. A really good balance of design and implementation, and appears to achieve everything it set out to do, and it *SO* appeals to my inner 'work nerd'.

I tell you, it is all I can do to keep from kicking the snow and ice off of random cars' wheel wells

I live with two people who insist that the correct orientation of a spice grinder is the one on the right. How can that be right in any world.

Of the Canadians detained during this period, some 44 per cent had no criminal records or pending charges against them, The Globe has found. The detainees include four children ranging in age from under two years old to about 16 years old.

Down Cemetery Road is SO GOOD

A Google software engineer won his battle against MetLife to receive disability benefits for Long Covid. This is huge Long Covid has a lot of stigma attached to it and it can be hard to get disability. You’re told to “try harder”. It’s “not that bad”. You can “still work”. Not everyone can

My mom passed away last October. I took her tiny Thanksgiving plant home. I was somewhat disappointed when it didn't produce October blooms, until these first two flowers appeared last week and I realized the plant wasn't named for Canadian Thanksgiving . . I can imagine mom laughing at this.

Using the heater AND the heated seat feature In the car today. On September 4th. 😳 7C and rain. Dismal.

For Americans who don’t know who Jack Layton was, he was leader of the New Democrats, he was our generation’s Tommy Douglas, and he died before he could become Prime Minister. He left us instructions.

I will die on this hill: it isn’t hard to say “at the height of the pandemic” or “at the start of COVID” during a podcast interview. Producers, hosts, don’t let your guests say “during COVID” like this thing is over. Correct them. Ask them to say the sentence again. This is your job.

We get to hear this cool pipe tune every night this week, played by the fabulous Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders of Canada Pipes and Drummers. I'm playing fiddle with the Flying Haggis Show Band at the Pavilion of Scots at Folklorama in Winnipeg until Saturday. Sold out shows! Get your tix now!

Important thread 📌

I’ve posted this video on socialism for years and there were mild heart attacks on Twitter, somehow I think people will be more amenable now.

Excellent article. "So here we sit, on a merry go round of history not understood, language corrupted and limited to words and phrases failing to encompass any complexity of the concepts and the human costs of crimes.
