The point is to hurt Americans so that they will pressure their supreme leader to eliminate his efforts to harm Canada. Thank you for confirming its effectiveness. That said, the beef is with the US. If California is not part of US, no beef with California. Secede.

If you want to talk longer, you have to hire more powerful necromancers.

So would it actually be illegal to hide the death of a US Senator?

The US hasn’t had this much trouble getting into Belgian territory since the Battle of the Bulge

If we're talking about grownup music, Ashley MacIsaac. If we count concerts I went to as a kid, I can't remember if I saw Fred Penner or the Irish Rovers first. I think this doesn't date me so much as locate me.

People talk a lot about the internet being reduced to a hellscaoe but then you find art like this Cardi B audio layered over young kestrels being scared of a butterfly:

On Damnatio Memoriae and de-Trumpification. (Gift link) Been waiting for this one to go up. Please read and share.

Every year, people are betrayed by their optimism. "Fireworks have exploded in other people's hands, but surely they will not explode in mine. My hands are different."

Game over. It will NEVER get better than this. #WorldBollardAssociation

Extraordinary detail in the new book on Trump's second term administration

The Blue Razzberry Fruit Roll-Up is sheer genius LMFAO

I just want to add, since this is breaking containment, that this can't be made right. these people, each one a whole universe, are gone. there can only be justice for the perpetrators; public remorse & restitution; & reform to ensure future aid systems are more just and less prone to imperial whims

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

I made salad dressing with the brine from a tub of pickled ramps, mayo and sour cream, and some garden herbs. I call it Ramp Ranch.

The reason Star Trek and Dr. Who are both halted is pretty obvious. They both preach against everything the corporate culture wants to ram down our throats. It's time for open-source fandoms

I am Canadian. I believe in universal health care, milk that comes in bags, and pineapple on a pizza.

Plant shiso one year, and then even if you can't get the seeds again in future years, you just have to play Where's Waldo in your own backyard until you find one. It's there, trust me.

These three skeins of luxury yarn I got for a song at the local knitters' guild auction turned out to be a gradient set. Two semisolids with a gradient skein in between. 1280 yards. 🧶I need to find a special pattern for it.

This. God, this. It is such a manufactured panic and it started the moment they lost the fight over gay marriage. Support trans rights because it’s the right thing to do and also because this is all just a fascist push

The comparison I heard was data centers using the same amount of water as golf courses, and for that I was all, my brother in Christ, let me tell you what I think we should do with golf courses

I have never felt more seen by a passage in a book

My Facebook memories today from when we first moved into this house are about trying to grow Chinese long beans. I don't think they like zone 6b very much. We did not get a single long bean. We barely got a mid-height bean plant.

I am following way too many people. It occurs to me that there's a limit to how much I can remember about people in order to interact with them. That's a problem of social media, not necessarily a problem with me, but I've cut way back on my follows.

In the age of social media I wish I could still picture myself teaching an audience and getting them enthusiastic about science. Now I just think it'll be too much work trying not to be awkward and weird. Even on the internet I'm awkward and weird. Do people still read books?

We wrote so many stories about how robots really are alive & only bigots deny it; so few about how the robots were *not* alive, but actually obsequious psychological disorder exacerbation machines that people must absolutely be trained to consider as non-sentient lest they be damned with brainworms.
