White rabbits!

I had tacos for dinner. Not the phony Taco Bell crap, the genuine & authentic, Old El Paso made with skill at home.

I watched Project Hail Mary this afternoon. Best movies that I've seen in quite some time. It surpasses the last movie I watched, Milfs vs. Zombies.

Dammit! This is going to be about as bad as when I spent a week trying to figure out the 'rubber pencil' trick.

This week we're celebrating Canadian Innovation! Watch our Heritage Minute on the Bluenose, a Nova Scotian schooner that was pitted against an American ship in a dramatic sailing race. Will the Bluenose's innovative design win them the race? #CIW26

ATIP-based scoop: NATO wants Canada to host a satellite ground station for alliance communications, which NATO would pay for. The only one on this side of the Atlantic: thelogic.co/news/nato-sa...

If NATO is lucky, they can join Ukraine. Garry Kasparov

I completed my 2026 Census. I procrastinated because I had a nasty suspicion that I'd have to do the long form version this year. It only took about 4 or 5 minutes.

Canadian news, folks. Wouldn't change it for anything else. youtu.be/aG0oX4rxA7w?...

I know what you're thinking, I thought the same. Apparently it never came up.

I see three ways prediction markets are reshaping global politics, and none of them are good. new post

It is very good, well worth a listen.

Celebrate Sir David #Attenborough's 100th birthday by his 10 minute tip "Sit down. Don't move. Keep quiet. Wait ten minutes. You'll be very surprised if something pretty interesting didn't happen. Doing that in a woodland, if you haven't done it, it's extraordinary" #NatureConnection #10MinuteTip

Dance like nobody is watching. Email like one day your data will be leaked by a criminal hacker group.

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

In anticipation for The Odyssey, should I re-read the book or re-watch O Brother, Where Art Thou? Or both?

On this day in 1980, Terry Fox reached Port Aux Basque, Newfoundland and Labrador. The community of 10,000 raised $14,000 for the Marathon of Hope. 📸 Terry Fox Foundation Learn more in my Deep Dive 👇 buff.ly/P9aNwcX

#MapleLeafs win the 1st draft pick in 2026. If I'm not mistaken, it also means we have to forfeit our first round in 2027 & 2028 because we are stupid.

In the 10 seasons that The Love Boat was on the air, not one cast member succumbed to hantavirus.

Mental health break!

I received my census request. I'll be doing hail Mary's for the next couple of days so that I only have to do the short census this year.

Someone out there decided it would be a good idea to put a German Shepherd in charge of babysitting a bunch of Doberman puppies and they were 100% correct

There's a revival!

Excellent investigative reporting from the indispensable, CBC. youtube.com/watch?v=NXaf...

I believe the bible says to 'love your enemies', not, well, do this to your enemies.

I wish! Sadly I'm not terribly fashionable. I like to wear black t-shirts & jeans whenever possible.

Honestly, what are these people reading?

What's your most hated?: 'Alot' 'Irregardless' or 'On accident'

I've read people say it was more disturbing than The Day After. Did not believe them. Watched Threads, and boy, were they right.

I only just watched Threads for the first time late last year. Truly disturbing.

What's the deal with bay leaves? I see all these recipes calling for it but I've never eaten anything and thought, "all that's missing is bay leaves."

An excellent conversation about Taiwan & America's position. I was not aware of the complexities involved. This podcast is getting better all the time, you should subscribe. If you've been holding out because you only watch podcasts with maps, wait no longer!

I know I deserve this recommended list after watching 'Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead' but it does make me look like a perv with a horror fetish. I put on 'In the Heat of the Night'. Still one of my favourites.

For a lot of people, chatbots are essentially Narcissus's pond

I'se the b'y that builds the boat.

Really excellent read. I'm optimistic ideas are being worked on to combat #PFAS. I'm also pessimistic because people are still using these chemicals. Seek alternative products such as carbon steel or cast iron. Not a fan, here's another: youtu.be/cSB5usObn8c?...

Heinz beans, Bovril, ?, and Bisto. The bottom left I'm thinking orange squash of some sort, I just can't figure it out.
