a birthday cake covered with white icing sits inside a cardboard box. it is decorated with three hot pink flowers and the words "Happy Birthday Natalie"

A birthday cake with white icing sits in a cardboard box. A rectangular slice has been cut out of the centre and the two halves pressed back together, so the phrase "Happy Birthday Natalie" written in pink icing has become "Hay Birtay Natie." it is decorated with one and a third hot pink roses.

It was my birthday on Saturday which means I have an excuse to show you all one of my favourite things: the extremely normal and optimal way that @jairuskhan.bsky.social cuts a birthday cake.

So: the “Protect Bathurst / Dufferin” astroturf campaign run by Summerhill Market had videos of a guy talking about the neighborhood & RapidTO proposal. Real grassroots feel. Took a screenshot & put it into google image search. Guess what?

being a knee-jerk cynic doesn't make you more able to detect scams, it makes you less

a lot of people have this reflexively dismissive and contemptuous attitude towards this technology to the point of refusing to even learn how it works, which is going to be a real problem as this stuff improves, because you are going to need to understand (a little about) how it works to spot it

I can't believe I used to run wild in the streets as a child and now I have to pay for credit protection

Our next ANCIENT RECIPE will be Grandma Lena's Oatmeal Cookies, courtesy of Charles Murray and the Winnipeg Mennonite Elementary School. Probably later tonight. The last cookies were more molasses than oatmeal so we're gonna try again.

They're highly weird. Much more molasses and clove than oatmeal. They're kind of in between chewy and crispy and they might be better if they were one or the other.

Not the worst cookies I've made from a cookbook like this! But not the best either.

these are...so weird? And delicious, i think? all of my senses are confused. they're like incredibly strong and incredibly mild at the same time

The recipe is light on details and the process seems somewhat unhinged to my modern sensibilities but maybe I just don't know the ways of the ancients. In any case, the results!

I don't know how old this book is, but i CAN tell you that

a) Corkum's Fish Market opened in 1948 and is still in business today

b) most of the phone numbers in this book have fewer digits than these

RIP big George Foreman

a titan of the greatest heavyweight era of all time, won the lineal title twice 20 years apart, and made more money as a pitchman than a boxer
