Huh. I charged my car tonight and it never even occurred to me that could become a problem.

Maybe I can rent out my plate for alternate days.

Millions of Americans can now claim Canadian citizenship by descent. But they have to prove it | CBC News Amid rising tensions in the United States and increased global volatility, many Americans are looking to Canada — and their roots — for a possible way out following recent changes to Canada’s citizens...

A decent article about the #LostCanadian new option for people with Canadian ancestors.

There was someone approved recently 9 generations out from #Acadian displacement. If you can prove your Canadian ancestors, you can claim citizenship. It's not naturalization.

I rarely agree with Jeff Jacoby. This headline is going to come in handy someday again, wanted to capture it.

Just like @chrislhayes.bsky.social talking about that old #BostonGlobe Trump front page. Things circle around.

I gave a short talk about the "Carrier Bag" essay by Le Guin at an event for the @longnowboston.org picnic last summer, and it seems very much like the stories + violence issues here.

The first tool probably wasn't to bludgeon dinner or each other, but the story of a sack just doesn't reach.

The "windsock" image is great. And the tearing-down of the imperfect messenger from the left is so true too. (This happened in science a lot too, btw. Nobody is pure enough.)

Watch.

Minneapolis cartoonist Steve Sack has been on a roll lately.

He's been on the front lines of the ICE invasion and his cartoons are boiling with rage at ICE and Mad Emperor Piggy. Well worth checking out his Substack.

The only question is how many? bsky.app/profile/pwhi...

Oh god, Sayer Ji is involved? Bonkers.

Tomorrow's Bandcamp Friday fundraiser will be for The Trans Continental Pipeline, helping trans folks leave hostile states (ahem, Kansas) for Colorado.

I have long noted that a lot of the foodie crankmaxxing smelled an awful lot like tradwife and Kinder, Küche neo-fundamentalism underneath the veneer of their other claims.

Dairy group to seek designated status for 'Quebec poutine cheese' | CBC News A group representing Quebec's dairy industry says it's eyeing a special designation — similar to the one applied to Bordeaux wine or champagne — for the squeaky cheese curds best known as a key ingred...

If it's not from the Quebec region, it's just sparkling squeaky cheese.

Michael Palin and John Cleese in the classic Monty Python dead parrot skit

“Lovely bird the secretary, lovely plumage.”

“The plumage don’t enter into it—she’s finished.”

“Nah she’s retired. Need their beauty rest, the secretary”

“She’s not bleedin’ ‘retired’, she’s fired. Canned. Sacked. Shown the door. She is Noem more. She has ceased to be. This is an ex-secretary.”

Historian here history first time as tragedy the second time as farce.

Please tell me Lenny lives in Somerville... That couldn't be more perfect.

So... A friend was supposed to give a PURELY SCIENTIFIC talk at NIH within the next couple of weeks and it was cancelled because of a "new process" where all speakers/talks have to be CLEARED BY A POLITICAL APPOINTEE.

1953. It would appear that absolutely NOTHING has changed

I guess I'll be seeing Tom in the organic farm gulag that RFKJr will send us to someday.

the pro-measles party doesn't want to go on record as accomplishing their goals??

Very glad to see someone finally make this move. I'm so tired of the time changes.

Let's go!

BREAKING:
The @cambridgemass.bsky.social City Council just voted unanimously to discontinue using X. Thank you @councilloralzubi.bsky.social for putting this forward!

My housemate and I went downtown the last time to see the media booth and see what was going on.

The place was an absolute ghost town. Everyone cleared out. It was honestly nice that way, but I think not what they expected.....

Maybe he's getting skin care advice from RFKjr and his band of crankmaxxing grifters.

Especially funny because Thacker is a serial fabulist who reports on fake phone calls and documents that he never produces, and editors let him do it.

And he fabricates SourceWatch items that he writes himself and uses as citations in his long form fabrications. We caught him editing SourceWatch.

They better be careful. Trump destroyed her office area, right? Contempt might not be the worst of it.

This is not a joke: I need someone to check for a lost stuffed animal on campus at UT-Knoxville outside Thompson-Boling. DM me for details.
