Oh no I hate that for you

I’ve seen the new Housing Minister and others say this week that house price trends in Canada are basically the same as in other G7 countries. That simply isn’t true, as Hanif Bayat showed in a recent Globe piece.

We really do have a made-in-Canada problem.

I support this

I would knead the dough for you

every single time a politician bitches about spoiled Americans wanting new tech, new appliances, and new vehicles , the reporter should reply with, “So what progress are you making to ensure Right to Repair?”

What an interesting tool!

Idk, I would class, for example, *yearning* as an emotion, and as a subcategory of desire 🤷

Yeah. It's the option for a gender marker that is neither M nor F.

A screenshot of Google's AI Overview answer to the question "is haggis an animal". It says "Yes, the haggis is a small, furry mammal native to Scotland" and goes on to give the typical "asymmetrical legs" details.

The Scottish have won the AI Wars.

Why did it take me so long to get transition lenses
Automatic sunglasses are magical

Oh yeah by the way I got my other three wisdom teeth pulled a week and a half ago 😅😂

Filing under "reasons I carry a pocket knife": so that I can turn a coffee stirrer into a pick so I can flick lumps of food out of the hole in the back of my jaw where the dentist took my wisdom away 🦷

Feathers McGraw (a penguin with a rubber glove for a hat, or a chicken depending on who you ask) stands outside the entrance of The Museum of English Rural Life.

we're thrilled to share that we've started the year with a new addition to our team! he's extremely smart, capable, charming, persuasive, and boasts a wealth of museum experience

And you thought there was not much to be happy about today... But turns out it's Tom Baker day! 91 and still going strong. #DoctorWho

May I recommend Norwegian Slow TV

A giant walrus, the size of an elephant, sits on a fiberglass ice platform, in a display hall of a museum. It has long white tusks and pebbly brown skin. From Atlas Obscura: "Walrus, standing proud (photograph by Tom Natt)"

The Horniman Natural History Gallery features this stunning walrus.

It was transported to England, purchased in 1886. There, the taxidermists, having never seen one in the wild, stuffed it until the wrinkles smoothed out.

This is a fully inflated walrus, my friends.
MAXIMUM WALRUS.

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace.

If you have a personal Google Account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off...

The jokes are a coping mechanism. Last year was noticeably hotter than it had any right to be.

Both?

That tumblr shitpost is one that lives rent free in my head at all times

"bypassing traditional milestones" is a funny way of saying that most of us can't afford to buy a house with multiple jobs, won't have children because we can't afford them, most of our degrees are useless, and we are the poorest generation among all current living generations

Also @vandroidhelsing.bsky.social don't think I didn't notice the white lead, vermilion, AND orpiment being painted on the toys - I'm too deep into SCA scribal not to know which pigments will really mess up your day 😍

A photo of groundcherries (Alkekengi) in a garden in winter. The round, orange, cherry tomato-like fruits are suspended in the center of pendulous, vaguely heart-shaped husks made of networks of dried beige veins. The husks have a delicate, skeletal, lattice-like structure, reminiscent of laser-cut papercraft.

In winter through early spring, you can sometimes find unspoiled, still-bright groundcherries sitting in the latticed remnants of their husks, like hearts suspended in paper ribcages
