No but this is entirely correct

Must-watch from end to end... really poetic. Thanks @scannerdot.com !

Yes yes yes

If this earlier brochure on the luxury 604TI is to be believed, Peugeot owners were keen on golf, though inconsiderate when it came to parking.

🪶 There might be 400 feet of snow on the ground, but this lad knows it’s time to start asserting dominance again. Spring is coming.

It's one of my favorite topics to teach in sensory physiology-- how plants likely evolved capsaicin as a deterrent to keep us from eating them and that didn't work out so great for them (or did, since we now lovingly grow and cultivate them):

There was a reddit post years ago which made a very convincing case that the Black Eyed Peas were first assembled to perform as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles during a planned touring live show, and that their first album is all reworked material from that canceled project.

I complain about CBC, because it’s not perfect, and fair criticism is allowed and appropriate. But seriously, thank God for CBC in Canada. It needs to be protected.

#ThingThursday Longboarding club edition! An embroidered patch of the old Ontario Longboarding Forum logo. OLF was a PHP forum, back in the early 2000s, and the focus of a close-knit scene here. Hard to believe how long ago it started and how so much of it is still going.

In memory of Éliane Radigue the makers of this documentary have made it free to view online. What a lovely gesture vimeo.com/541076521/d6...

The Ontario Science Centre, which opened its doors in 1969, was one of the first interactive, hands-on science museums in the world. In his own words, Raymond Moriyama shares how he created some of Canada’s most iconic buildings: youtu.be/AoIhR5Q8xGU?...

Sometimes I'm just boggled by the capabilities of other species and this is one of those times. A just-fed hummingbird has blood glucose of 757 mg/dL. That would put a human right in the ER. Oh and they feed every 30 minutes. www.sciencenews.org/article/bird...

Every day we learn new things.

An amazing thread as always from Agata showcasing how lines on a map may changes, but echoes of the past always remain.

The Moon will indeed be much closer to Earth, and loom terrifying large in the sky by the time this is finished. (alt text,a building with swoopy curved surfaces and lots of glass rendered with the Moon way too big in the sky, which is the sort of thing a science centre should prevent)

Lots of interesting stuff that people have found in the original thread, so I no longer have quite the hard-line attitude to the term, although I will still roll my eyes.

In September, a box of old film reels was donated to the Library's National Audio-Visual Conservation Center. One of them was a nearly 130-year-old, long-lost film by iconic French filmmaker George Méliès. It had not been seen by anyone in likely more than a century. 🧵 blogs.loc.gov/loc/2026/02/...

If you are in Toronto, come see my band Anti-Spectacular at Collective Arts (777 Dundas Street W) on March 5, 2026! It's a bunch of weirdo Punk music. We are joined by the caustic riffage of Super Kill Me Now and the spooky atmosphere of Frankie Teardrop.

every time i interact with customer service now, i gleefully take the “how did we do?” survey and type in all caps the person who helped me’s name, five stars, glowing praise, and demand they be given a raise. even if the interaction made me rip my hair out.

Supplement recalled for actually doing something

nearly a year of working on this wonderful project of archiving and digitizing my found photo collection of 20th century black life. to be a caretaker of something, someone is an extreme honor and privilege. grateful as the work stretches on another year.
