Pheidippides and the other Athenians would have been proud!

It’s funny having a dog and how when we meet other people with dogs out on walks, we always ask about the dog’s name but rarely introduce ourselves. I know many of the dogs in my neighborhood, rarely the name of the human. And when I intro myself, the human is always taken aback.

Every day is earth day

Schrödinger's Strait.

Every time I read the word "Infantino", the last name of the FIFA president, in any news article my brain either parses it as "infanticide" or "incompetent" and I wonder if my brain is ahead of the curve.

I'd happily pay top dollar to watch that movie.

We pack a handful of folks into a tin can loaded with explosives. The computers are running Windows and the toilet is malfunctioning. We hurl them at a distant rock. Everything about where they are is deadly. And it is sublimely beautiful, one of the greatest things we’ve done as a species. #Artemis

I painted the new image of Earth from Artemis!

The situation where the Artemis II launch is a news event that less people in the world are talking about compared to a war of choice and aggression for a dubious cause, is a very disappointing situation for all of humanity, not just for science.

Just saw a Bentley with a "Wife 6" license plate on the road. I have so many questions!

This is absolutely top class reporting and storytelling from @news.abc.net.au. Facts, fears and egos. Connect the dots and you'll often find a pattern of "interesting" decision-making. youtu.be/g1tlZgQR3kU

That's a very good description of the product.

Keep showing up, with intent, even when the path in front of you is unpaved and unclear. Especially then.

Why is the hot chocolate so much better in every Canadian coffee shop?

Between AI and “min-maxing”, we have literally millions of people that think mere exposure to information is the same as engaging, learning or internalizing. And it becomes really fucking obvious they can’t actually talk about or recall anything after like 2 follow up questions It’s BAD

"Attention shoppers: There are too many people standing in near the self-service checkout counters, so our machine learning model has decided to implement surge pricing throughout the store."

The Incredible Journey of An Arctic Fox Who Walked From Norway to Canada in 2018 brilliantmaps.com/arctic-fox/

That post race interview with Antonelli, Russell and Hamilton was the most wholesome content coming from the trio on the podium after maybe... the 2020 Italian GP when Gasly couldn't contain his elation and gratitude. #F1 #ChineseGP

The only thing we’re missing from the 1970s now is disco.

Can't ChatGPT be used to install plugins for a benign and democratic leadership to "Make [country] Great Again"? Wait, you're telling me that is not how things work? Oh "ye of little faith".

The procrastinator in me feels attacked.

The "iterate and fail fast" process in startups, which DOGE was a great exponent of, doesn't work with nation states. Neither does the dismantle and disappear logic. To even think that a repressive regime in perpetual war mode wouldn't have a succession plan is delusion of the highest order.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

The eternal relevance of this piece is remarkable, thanks to the human conditions called tribalism and narcissism.

The long 2010s are finally over

Wait what theconversation.com/the-worlds-2...

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results" and i was like. oh!

Fantastic game, Team #Canada. It was a privilege to watch it. The energy was electric. Sorry for the result. #IceHockey #Olympics

One thing that has always fascinated me about the USA. 👇🏻

The Dow is over 50,000!

Absolutely epic.

100% in agreement.

Good hair day.

To put it another way: the most important aircraft in WWII was unarmed

"Its a calling."

Wiarton Willie 🇨🇦 seemed to be more optimistic about an early spring when compared to Punxsutawney Phil 🇺🇲. A sign of the times we live in, surely. #GroundhogDay

Catherine O'Hara. Thank you for everything. We were very fortunate to have witnessed your acting repertoire for more than three decades.

Too cute to debunk ;)

In the early days of iPhone apps, there was one that showcased the most famous speeches in human history, like Lincoln's Gettysburg address. This speech from @mark-carney.bsky.social should easily rank among the best in the past century, if not all of human #history. globalnews.ca/news/1162087...

Clear vision of leadership, without rambling and shouting.

Perfectly illustrates the current state of the online media and the polarized society, with the "real" existential issues coming at us thick and fast.

This makes sense to me.

I love quirky liveries on airplanes. This was a special one because it combined two off my interests: #StarWars and airplanes. End of an era, as this airplane completes its final flight with this C-3PO livery, with the R2-D2 livery retired last year. #avgeek

If you have time to doom scroll, you have time to read books!

My drawing skill feels attacked! On the other hand, I'm fairly certain this is a horse, which means that I "ace" the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.

this is a fascinating statistic. i would assume this is to a great degree simply the obvious fact that green energy is by definition a growth sector. fossil fuels is not, notwithstanding the big run up in production in FF in the last 20 years.

This 100%. The "subtext" of #history and the "context" of events are more important than simply the names of the belligerents or the headline results.

The silent heroes we need but don't always deserve.
