Things got hare-y at TV time.

Insists Watership Down is a documentary.

Hopping mad her show's been cancelled.

Sunset turns the horizon over Vancouver Island across the Strait of Georgia orange, and paints the long maze of winding tidal pools along White Rock's east beach.

Orion strides across the sky over Boundary Bay.

A sunset walk in White Rock, followed by dinner on the (heated) patio at Uli's.
Sometimes life's pretty good.

In case Americans were wondering…yes, Vance was booed.

No, American athletes were not booed.

We can distinguish the autocrats from the people.

Now it's a two-way race between Nuremberg and @brisbanein28.bsky.social.

I won't be going to LA this year (I wonder how much of a "world" con it will actually be), so I won't be voting, but I'll happily go to either Germany or Australia.

Really, it's a no-lose scenario for Worldcon goers!

Rwanda in 2028 Worldcon Bid Withdraws Micheal Kabunga, Chair of the ConKigali bid for Rwanda in 2028, today announced they are withdrawing from the race. Greetings from ConKigali Worldcon Bid Team. Due to the ongoing immigration change…

So, Rwanda's out of the running for Worldcon in '28.
It's too bad because, whatever bid you're backing, whatever odds you would have put on this one, having more bids from more diverse parts of the world is better. African fans deserve a chance to host the world someday.

Done.
It is completely unacceptable that a federal party leader does not have, and refuses to get, security clearance.
Peepee's completely untrustworthy.

Interior decorating's gone to the dogs.

This is my favorite #NAFO meme.

Ordinary people make a difference.

You can too. 💙💛

I find myself on the border of Lawful Good and Lawful Evil. 🤣

Stop callinge them "data centers" and starte callinge them "slop peripherals"

Sure it sucks that you're starring in your own remake of Fantastic Voyage, except instead of frolicking with Raquel Welch in a mini sub, you're the set.
But if they find nothing, you at least get a day or two off work.
If they find something, they can treat it and you probably won't die.
Get probed.

I just rewatched the Babylon 5 finale "Sleeping in Light" for the first time in a couple of years and I'm not crying, *you're crying!*

Watch the Felony Fuhrer retaliate by defecating a tariff or something equally absurd, followed by the IOC kissing-up to him by giving him a gold medal for... whatever.

Post your favourite "Lord of the Rings" character. Wrong answers only.

This pretty much sums it up.

This message alone warrants a gold medal.

(To be clear, what I love is the unhinged creativity of the kids. This collective noun gives me the image of the office as a den of vampires or something, which is funny. The reality is my school's admin team is great and they laughed at it.)

I had to let my subscription lapse a couple of years ago, but now that they're turning off the lights, I'm gonna miss @onspecmag.bsky.social.

I gave my English 9 students a creative writing warmup exercise the other day where I asked them to create new collective nouns.

One of my prompts was high school principals.

One of the kids came up with
"a morgue of principals."

This is why I love teaching.

Galen Weston gooses prices even higher.
