Sliced dill pickles sandwich of toast spread thickly with crunchy peanut butter & laced with sriracha or spicy mango sauce. Comes together in seconds with no time wasted slicing slippery, uncooperative pickles. A luxury for sure but for speed & ease of assembly - pre-sliced pickles are unbeatable.

When Bill Gates says funding for climate change is scarce so we should instead direct our efforts towards global poverty, is he referring to the net worth of the 10 richest US billionaires increasing by $698bn last year?
You know, an amount 10x what's required to end extreme poverty worldwide.

Time to stop hiding the Enron con and end it
Where is the opposition to taxpayer subsidized privatized hydro?
Ford has been spending up to almost $7 billion a year in Hydro subsidies artificially lowering, artificially high hydro rates. Subsidies hide and protect former Conservative Premier Mike Harrisβs deregulated electricity market scheme.

"This drawing represents a view of the famous Acqua Acetosa, a mineral spring that until the 19th century provided the favored drinking water of Romans who believed in its healing powers. Although topographically accurate, the sheet is not a plein-air study but a vision of an imagined Arcadian world carefully rendered by GellΓ©e, one of the most original painters of the 17th century. The French-born artist spent his career painting and drawing the Roman Campagna and the Neopolitan coastline. Sublimely beautiful pen-and-ink and wash drawings such as the example here reveal the artist's highly poetic response to the natural world and his unparalleled sensitivity to light." https://www.clevelandart.org/art/1928.15.a

The Trillium journalists are all over the SDF. Here's a two week old thread looking back on it from Jack Hauen and the developments keep on coming. Piccini looking moronic in the house. Monte McNaughton knew when to walk away and when to RUN! bsky.app/profile/jack...

Calandra has no idea how much those unelected supervisors with zero education experience has spent so far, for their part time jobs. Yet, he continues to rail on about a trustee buying a parent a 15 dollar milkshake at a meetup! This is not about money.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity
Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.
Could be you Ontario. Instead we elected a corrupt, unprepared, dope. A climate denier. Three times. Our electricity rates just went up, again. This time by 30%. Do you remember when Doug Ford promised to reign in the cost of hydro? I do.
