He/Him. Post contain implicit language. Toronto. Bees. Capybaras. Art. Politics. Pop culture. This place is not a place of honour. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here.

True independent thinkers don't change their clocks just because everyone else does. I will do my own research and determine what time it is

Went to see that well-known romantic Shakespearean tragedy about two star-crossed lovers.

Macbeth.

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Children are writing about capybaras more than ever, according to Oxford University Press. The annual Children's Language report is compiled from 500-word stories sent into the BBC. 'Book', 'comic' and 'novel' all appear more than in 2015, while 'Kindle' is down 77%.

The end of this month will be 7 years sober for me, and my best advice for anyone starting down this path is sobriety won't fix what's broken or off with you, and it won't make you perfect. It will allow you to truly know yourself, all the good and hard parts and ask you to confront them to survive

A pre-colonial Māori wooden carving of a kurī, a breed of dog. The wooden figure is a pale white-brown, and depicts the upwardly-curved tail characteristic of this species of dog.

Polymarkets seem bad but also the ultimate version of rampant encouragement to arbitrage everything. Find something neat on someone's stoop or at a thrift store? You should resell it online for more! Score tickets to a hot show? Resell them online! Figured out how to do something? Sell a course!

In the story of Humpty Dumpty it is never said that he is an egg. However, it is never said that he is NOT an egg. This means that any character in ANY story could be an egg unless explicitly stated otherwise. Keep that in mind when you read a Jack Reacher novel

Chicago to replace Columbus statue with Mother Cabrini, patron saint of immigrants Chicago's statue of Christopher Columbus in Little Italy's Arrigo Park, taken down in 2020, will be replaced with one of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first U.S. citizen named a saint.

A pedestal for a statue of Christopher Columbus that has sat empty for five years will soon be home to a statue of the patron saint of immigrants.

Beyond Transactional The question facing Trump-supporting Evangelicals in 2026 is whether they’ve so internalized a MAGA political identity that no amount of wrongdoing can shake it.

BRONZE FOR CANADA πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

TEAM HOMAN IS LEAVING THE OLYMPICS WITH A MEDAL.

And after starting 1-3 this seemed unlikely. They didn’t quit. Won six of their last seven games. Beat the USA to claim women’s curling bronze. Resilient. Triumphant.

oh no Canada is poorer than Alabama so Canada better do things to become more like Alabama instead of questioning whether or not the way they are measuring this is meaningful or useful

Really superb playing by our women’s hockey team in the Olympic final game. Heartbreaking but they should still be super proud. #GoCanadaGo
