The Blue Origin flight showcased the utter defeat of American feminism | Moira Donegan The trip leaned on a vision of women’s empowerment that is light on substance and heavy on a childlike, girlish silliness

On the Blue Origin absurdity - I'll leave it to others

" It makes me feel like everything that is coming is grimly predictable, tailored to the impulses of the richest, least responsible and least morally intelligent people on Earth."

I think that Donald may be off of PP's Christmas card list....

So, four weeks ago I posted the then current results of CBC's poll tracker - which had it listed as an 18% chance of the Libs (pre-Carney) forming the next government (82% Cons). Now?
90% likely for the Libs and 9% for the Cons.

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

The Crimson Face of Canadian Anger — The Atlantic How Doug Ford became Ontario’s chief enforcer

I’m no fan of Doug Ford, but there is a chunk of this article that would be good for Americans to consider. apple.news/AQ1XPJIfrQDa...

Best Science Museum From mind-bending exhibits to out-of-this-world experiences, science museums ignite curiosity and inspire innovation. Check out these top-notch choices.

This is wild! One of the projects I contributed to - the Lowell Observatory Astronomy Discovery Center - has been named the top science museum in the USA by Newsweek readers. Wow! www.newsweek.com/readerschoic...

A couple of the pieces from Megan Hamilton’s MFA thesis show at OCAD. Needless to say I’m gobsmacked at her talent.

My friend Henry (who was also my student) & I decided to create some joy in –20°C weather in the Yukon and share it with you all. He is in grade 5 now. We are sending joy, hope, and positivity.

Things you really don’t want to hear at the airport “the Calgary flight baggage offloading has an equipment problem. We hope to get you your bags, uh, sometime today”

So this is happening www.ocadu.ca/events-and-e...

sorry 18%/82% Lobs/Cons chance to form a government - (Blue Sky needs a post-edit button). It's a remarkable surge (or collapse) for a party without a leader

One group in Can. that are happy when Trump opens his mouth (still existing in a sense of existential dread and lowkey horror) - the Federal Liberals. This snapshot is from the CBC poll aggregator and shows they have gone from <1% chance to form a majority government to 18% in a 3 week timespan.

Agreed. But (yeah I know “but”) I don’t think we are arguing. I’m just pointing out that Trump et al part of a longer history and context - abuse of US power in the service of corporate interests. Be well

Lath - respectfully, I disagree. The elected head of your government and his supporters regularly muse about annexing my country. And it is consistent with the treatment of numerous other nations - you are an imperial power, and have acted that way throughout the 20th century under both parties

"Now?" Cambodia, Laos, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, Colombia, Philippines, Cuba and Puerto Rico would all like to enter the chat... (and the Hawaiians)

You know…. I hate that Elon has ruined Mars for me.

You aren’t a fan of the swasticar? Luckily I’ve only seen a few here - and given recent events they will remain a rarity

Scientists alarmed as Rubin Observatory changes biography of astronomer Vera Rubin amid Trump's push to end DEI efforts "The idea that they can somehow obliterate these sources is dead wrong — scientists in general and astronomers in particular are not going to take these threats lying down."

Words fail. And yes I know this is in some ways minor compared to the rest of the tsunami of shit washing over the US. But still. Sigh.

I seem to be regressing back to my early youth.

I picked up Learning to Crawl on vinyl the other day. Even though I’ve had it on cd for 30 years. It’s just…. Sublime? Deeper? Warmer? 10$ well spent.

So they are mixing it up a bit - Hitler and the Nazi's seeem to be their usual inspiration (with a smattering of Mussolini thrown in)

Whoopsie?

Lowell Observatory celebrates a monumental renewal A historic observatory opens a multi-million-dollar museum and celebrates its unique history and legacy of current big-play research.

The thing about working in museums... project openings sneak up on you years after you contributed.

I'm super proud to have been part of the design for the galleries at the ADC at Lowell Obervatory - it's great to see that they are now open!

You are assuming you will get the chance to explain...

I suspect that Kim Gordon is actually a vampire. Or one of the elder gods - still not sure which.
