I got COVID before Thanksgiving because I was going on a trip for a month and wanted to be protected. 'Flu wasn't available then so fingers crossed. I thought I might be too young but they didn't seem to mind.

I hear Woman is a woman but cannot confirm

THE MOST "could have been an email."

Also "getting all the generals together in one room, this has never been done before, sir" sounds like the pre-credit sequence of a Mission Impossible movie."

Guess the naughty little sister. #caturday

I gave up on pine nuts when they passed $40/kilo. Nothing like a good pesto, though.

I support this journalist's bravery, and you should, too.

Kind of like an abusive spouse?

Gritty yes but also how great is it to follow Nazis around with a parping Euphonium? This is inspired trolling. More of this.

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn’t a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division

Charlie Kirk was a hatemonger. Salute to @espiers.bsky.social's magnificent tribute, the only obit I want to read today.

The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.

Banksy should mass-produce this stencil and drop 100s of them in every city in the UK. In a week, you shouldn't be able to walk down a street without seeing this piece of art. What a statement that would be.

i wonder if there was a menswear writer in 1914 who, shortly after writing an article on how to wear pants, went outside and saw a newspaper headline read "Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Assassinated" and he thought "hm, prob not good"

It's always nice to discover that high prices for home goods actually buys quality now and then. It's not always the case, lots of high end things are the same junk.

Incredible find for $1.

This better be garbage served hot-n-zesty.

I don't want boring.

BBC News headline: Frankenstein is monster success at Venice film festival

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

We have one cat who is obsessed with cucumber slices, and who fastidiously differentiates between cucumber and zucchini.

If you don't give her the cuke tithe, you get the claws.

Sometime in the early aughts I threw away my gold paperback copy, not predicting I’d have a kid who would also go through an Anne Rice phase.

Canada's national parks are free for everyone this summer. Should they be? | CBC News Free admission to Canada's national parks this summer has helped draw visitors to the country's most popular parks, fuelling traffic jams and raising environmental concerns.

Don't be grumpy about people using parks. Make more parks!

The current level of parks is clearly not keeping up with demand (and was largely established at a time when the population was much smaller).

Where does Carney stand on Canada's 2030 climate targets? It's not clear | CBC News CBC Radio’s The House takes a look at whether Canada is on track to meet its climate targets under Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Isn’t it, though?

Surprise me, Mark Carney. I dare you.

obsessed with this vague notice from the government of Nova Scotia. Like it’s definitely about the new fire restrictions, but it also looks like a poster you’d find yellowed and curled on the bulletin board of a diner in a town where locals won’t talk about their missing kids

Let it be known I will never tire of @dieworkwear.bsky.social dunking on John Tory.

There's an obvious solution to an Occupancy Fee like this: waive it for Occupants under 18. (Or the way things are going, maybe relations to the owners under 25.)

Handwritten notecard. Prompt at the top asks: What object was most devastating for you to lose, and how have you been coping? Answer below: Dentures. Were thrown away and coping isn't somthing I can do. It’s made me feel ugly, unworthy, can’t go get a job with no teeth. So how can get off the streets until another pair can be made?

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.”

We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words.
