The IGA on the corner of Rue Clark and Boul. René-Levesque in Montreal may be the most confusingly laid out grocery store I’ve EVER experienced in any country.

I love sitting on my porch during summer thunderstorms

In Re: the Freakonomics podcast Episode titled "Why Vanderbilt Keeps Winning." Since the freakonomics subreddit mods are AGGRESSIVELY deleting comments, I'm going to post my agreement with the 6/28 post on the Freakonomics subreddit "Vanderbilt President is Petrified of Trump" in their praise and

Can I interest you in a moist owlette as a timeline cleanse? This is Sassafras the Eastern Screech Owl from the Cincinnati Zoo (@cincinnatizoo.bsky.social, but via their FB) and I love him very much. Eastern Screech Owls (Megascops asio) are native to eastern North America.

OR JUST WRITE THE THING YOURSELF FOR FUCK'S SAKE IT WILL TAKE LESS TIME THAN WHATEVER THE FUCK THIS IS mashable.com/article/sinc...

A reminder that for some humans, depending on their state or country, their very existence is a crime. "Don't do crime" leaves me a bit uneasy, especially as things in the US turn more fascist.

Just bragging that my unathletic 7-year-old did archery for the first time at a Girl Scout camp and hit the target twice!

Today I learned that one should ask a hospital where a loved one is being treated in an *ICU* if they will be monitored and treated by on-site care providers or through remote telehealth. This fatal dystopian story is about Yale New Haven Health. lawandcrime.com/lawsuit/no-o...

One thing I miss about living in the south or going to a church with a large African/Afro-Caribbean co congregation: Easter hats

Pop Punk Hot-take on 1985: Bowling for Soup has better sound, SR-71 has MUCH better lyrics

We have always been a multilingual nation of immigrants. (Pic courtesy of Fr David Simmons, Civil War recruiting poster for 26th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers.)

Update: All non-essential personnel are evacuated. From the Bases's official FB Page: "JB MDL is currently at FPCON CHARLIE. Increased security measures are in place. All personnel should remain vigilant, follow the direction of security forces, and report any suspicious activity immediately."

Has anyone heard anything about the abrupt security changes at Joint Base MDL (McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst)? Hoping everyone is safe.... Maybe Diddy is getting a new home.

Mrs Doubtfire The Boxcar Children Jane Eyre

Why is Gavin Newsome trying so desperately to make himself irrelevant?

excited to hear tech companies will now be allowed to build their own power plants for their data centers. i am sure the makers of "the app that tells kids to kill themselves" will responsibly operate coal plants

I love my state The “Fight unlawful conduct and keep individuals and communities empowered” act was introduced at the state house last week

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

I keep reposting this article because it needs to be seen. This is what responsible journalism on a discriminatory act against trans people looks like. Jo put in the work. It's no longer just my and others' personal accounts vs. random men with opinions. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

A reminder that ICE is only 23 years old

3. It is THREE DEGREES Fahrenheit (-16° C) in NJ. I was not consulted and do not approve.

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Emergency Pod! I’m joined by Dr. Kayvan Mirhadi and Shauhin Davari to talk about the devastating situation unfolding in our own streets and hospitals. Listen & share. Links: tinyurl.com/yjvzbs85

I don’t tend to post about politics and world news not because I don’t care, but because others are doing it better and I won’t add to the noise.

Is Star Trek minutia even a niche hobby anymore or has it gone mainstream like Video Games and D & D?

Reading semi-sarcastic hot takes on this years CES has so far been hilarious.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

The tactics in Venezuela (abductions) and the way ICE is harassing my neighbors (also abductions) is a very stark reminder that this is All One Big Thing

Anyone rather…. “uncomfortable” about this? US invades foreign soil, abducts a world leader and spouse, returns to US soil. www.bbc.com/news/live/c5...

Danny Go is such a fever dream.

Oh Democrats and your skill at stealing defeat from the jaws of victory.

Without downloading anything, where are you right now?

Fun fact: Dame Sarah Mullally is the second medical professional to be Archbishop of Canterbury. Archbishop Thomas Secker (1758-1768) qualified as a medical doctor before being ordained #ArchbishopOfCanterbury

Why do we live in the stupidest timeline?

I should post here more rather than just lurking. I miss the levity of the bird site. I miss the levity of the Before Times.

Just a reminder that the first autism diagnoses was BEFORE the invention of acetaminophen. This is just about preventing pregnant women from taking one of the only safe pain relievers.

If you still have Paramount+ watch South Park s27 e1. Not kid appropriate but says what a lot of us have been thinking but isn’t saying (also give it the views). Yes it’s vulgar af etc. Stream till the end.

My SNES mini (with added content) is reminding me how much better Chrono Trigger is than any similar era RPGs (though I have a place in my heart for Mario RPG)

Signal-boosting this excellent cheerful reminder. Rock Creek Parish, DC's oldest church (1712), struggles a bit to attract people because it is within a huge historic cemetery whose entrance gates are off the beaten path deep in a neighborhood. stpaulsrockcreek.org ⚓

He bulldozed the rose garden? What? Also is responsible for the mass murder of thousands of people domestic and abroad, the separation of families and massive environmental issues yet to come.

Are people excited for CIV VII or does it seem too different in the spirit of CIV?

Rubbish bin is such a better phrase than trashcan.

“Stay angry, little Meg,” Mrs Whatsit whispered. “You will need all your anger now.”

interfaithrise.org If people are looking for another org to support I've been on the board of this resettlement org for six years and they lost 40% of their funding this week.

Senator Kim’s mailbox is full. Guess a lot of his constituents are concerned about his naiveté.

Hi all! Many of my friends have migrated here from FB, so letting you know: It's Girl Scout cookie season. If you are interested in ordering from AB, DM me your order or I can send you the link for shipping! Thanks!

A reminder to some of my privileged (straight white upper/middle class) male friends with good retirement funds: claiming centricity/a midpoint is siding with the oppressor. There is no maturity or purity in finding an artificial middle set by extremists that sacrifices others.

I can’t be the only one who stopped drinking alcohol and replaced it with cheese? My stomach is not happy with me. (Also soda but cut back on that already)

Hello void. I am screaming into you.
