Honestly, I think AI needs to be strictly regulated AND we need way better mental health care. But the government only seems slightly interested in one of those things.

Absolutely cheering Jayden King as he skips Team Ontario in the Brier on the last day of Black History Month to make Canadian history. ππΎπ₯π¨π¦ (Of course he has amazing Caribbean roots, too. Jayden's father immigrated to Canada from Trinidad & Tobago.πΉπΉ) No barriers for Black talent in winter sports.

Does anyone have a copy of James Doohan's autobiography "Beam Me Up, Scotty" that they could send me?
I have an episode about his life coming and his book is out of print and very difficult to find. I've gone through the library system, no luck and eBay copies are very expensive
This Albertan is jealous

Your local library probably has dvds and streaming services available. Both Kanopy and Hoopla have a very entertainingly diverse collection of movies on offer.
Your local library is also a place you can go to get away from stewing in your home by yourself. I highly recommend making the trip!
The Heavy Hockey Showdown in support of SACE is only two weeks away. Your support can help shorten wait times for survivors of SA to get the help they need.

DTC microbiome testing = um, crap. π©
Can you trust the results from gut microbiome tests? Nope. www.sciencenews.org/article/resu...
From study: "...results reveal major discrepancies, both within and across the different service providers."

...historically our -20Β°C season has stretched from mid-October to mid-April.
In recent years the chances of getting to -20Β°C stay pretty high until around March 10th, and then drop off.
But we did get a really late one on April 2nd, 2020.

February 28th is our 25th 20Β°C Low of the winter. #yegwx #yeg
That's basically average, although the only recent winter which had more was 2021-2022's 32.

The world feels unstable. Families are falling behind. Jobs donβt feel secure.
We need to win back seats like Nanaimo-Ladysmith so we can be even stronger in fighting for people, right across the country.
It was great to speak with CHYL about how we can rebuild and grow our movement together.
Thanks for the tips! I'll have to give that a try.
