When in doubt, add cocoa, chipotle, or beer.

"It is worse than a secessionist agenda, it is an agenda to make Canada a dysfunctional confederacy of selfish, inward-looking, disaggregated provinces." Really appreciate MacFarlane's assessment of Danielle Smith's proposed referendum.

Lego Lenin's Mausoleum MOC YouTube video by Daniel's MOCs

I had to look it up, because I really want there to be a Lenin's Tomb LEGO set. I don't think it's official, but you can make almost anything out of LEGO, so of course someone did. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o18J...

Dear @levostregc.bsky.social, you once had a tweet back in The Other Place about WorldCat, and I loved it so much I printed it out and put it up in the library where I work, but that was a few years ago and the paper post is long gone. Do you remember what it was?

Page from a 13th century copy of the Bible with a strange illustration in the margin. The illustration has a blue dragon with orange wings at the bottom, and a strange orange head with rabbit ears atop a column of painted chevrons.

Got a new (to us) 13th century copy of the Bible at work today, with its own weird medieval guys.
