The CBC made this clever & cute video that uses kids to explain the rules of curling:

Hard yes! Very well crafted Indian superhero movie 💕 The music is also a bop!

Will ALWAYS repost this when I see it on my feed. Possibly the best quote about anger ever 🔥 and very aspirational for me on how to channel mine

You would think! And I have cheered for the Swiss in many other games and tournaments, but the Canadian women had 54 shots on goal in total and it was all I could do to feel bad for the Swiss tendie. They simply dominated the ice and made the Swiss look like they need tons more experience

I hooted even as I watched the totally one sided CAN-SWI women's hockey replay. Crisp coverage, great commentary and marvellous playing that even a noob like me could appreciate 🇨🇦

Indeed it would! I keep complaining about the whiplash of turning so often and still keep coming back 🥽 My recent fave is the Hart house pool though - so chill and so cute!

I wish they'd remove that bulkhead more often than just a few times during the middle of the work week 😔

Attention artists, tactical urbanists, designers and just generally creative people! As our new island at Ookwemin Minising continues to take shape, we’re also thinking about what it can be right now. We’ve issued an RFP for a pop-up gathering space on the island. Info at www.c40.org/work-with-c40

Cannot tell you how much I adore this clip from 1941 of women from the Western Isles of the Outer Hebrides singing as they work their Harris Tweed.

It was shot by the Oscar winning cinematographer JACK CARDIFF.

I will never be able to fully leave neuroscience, even if I haven't done any neuroscience in years, because it involves being around people asking questions like "why are mole noses like that" and the answers always being cool

I think it's important to know that an oral history of Tim Curry's greatest line delivery exists

Ooooh someone finally uploaded Brandford Marsalis' Jazz à Vienne 1995 concert - rare example of succesfull jazz/hip-hop fusion. The guitar solo, sax/scratch back and forth, and Charlie Parker's Dora Lee reprise at the end... so good youtu.be/sIQ1j-fYLTU?...

This is exactly what happened in India from 2014-2019 after PM Modi was elected. In August 2019, Modi unilaterally abrogated Articles 370 & 35a that removed Indian-occupied Jammu & Kashmir’s constitutionally granted autonomy. /4

The Marketplace | Perumal Murugan | Granta ‘He had gone to school fearful that they might drag him along for some work otherwise. This was how he received an education.’

‘When we know someone’s eyes are fixed on us, we cannot function freely, no, we cannot function at all. We want to shoot an arrow into the eye that watches.’

Me at the Wychwood dog park today, there because my Northern Ontario dog refuses to be affected by any amount of cold and insists that we simply must go outside for at least 1.5 hours , twice a day, so that she can socialize with her friends

Id almost forgotten how the sun feels like on my skin 🥲

It's a strange dichotomy to hold. I'm also ALWAYS shocked when I accidentally discover someone who feels the same 🥲❤️

Not justifying behaviors, but I find it difficult sometimes to fully understand/encompass/feel the loss we bore. The outcome is that I am way more empathetic now than I used to be pre-covid - but maybe the opposite happened to a bunch of people?

What lingers in ‘The Pitt’ is heartache. What’s missing is outrage “I am hungry, so hungry, for some depiction of Covid that tells the truth. That what was done to us was not just unbearable, but wrong,” an emergency physician writes of “The Pitt.”

Heck of an article to read first thing in the morning. But it really puts the COVID years back into perspective.
