"This is a natural disaster" says the world's largest exporter of coal, as if it were in fact nature's fault.

Ah. Your article begins, "Hamilton’s freedom of information manager has been ordered to respond..." hence my confusion. Thank you.

Appreciate your reporting, Joey. It would be helpful if you could include the actual names of the people involved, not just their job titles or the nebulous "staff" or "city." For example, is Lisa Barroso the freedom of information manager subject to the order?

We have so many they put up signs and little fences.

Looks good.

Get it?

A couple of SF series off the top of my head: Remembrance of Earth's Past (Three Body Problem, etc.) by Liu Cixin and the Mars Trilogy (Red Mars, etc.) by Kim Stanley Robinson. I really enjoyed both of those.

Just experienced thirty seconds of existential terror wondering which parallel universe I'd wandered into in which Ray Bradbury didn't write "Dandelion Wine"

Admit it, you have six clones of yourself writing SF while Adrian Prime paints miniatures, don't you? :-)

I'm afraid that, when I die, someone will tell me how much of my life was spent on cable management.

It's not soccer, people.

Insectivores? Big mouths to scoop up mosquitoes?

I'm not sure we give it a lot of thought. Kind of like the senate. We should probably get around to cleaning up our form of government a bit sometime, though. It's become a bit crufty.

Deservedly so!

That whole album is brilliant

The Nation That Trump Could Never Break Canada didn’t just resist, they reminded the rest of us how to endure

“…this morning, from a war zone half a world away, I was reading about your election. And for the first time in days, I exhaled.

A small, almost invisible breath. Relief.

And then came gratitude…

You didn’t just choose kindness or experience…

You chose not to flirt with fascism.”

From Ukraine.

Your question piqued my curiousity, so I looked it up. www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quo...

A quarter of the way through Rakesfall by Vajra Chandrasekera. Making progress on reading all of the Nebula nominees.

That's obviously Monoperation.

The "Waterloo" referred to in the docs, for those who may not know, is the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada. The Pascal and FORTRAN, as well as the APL, are probably the Waterloo versions. I remember learning FORTRAN using WATFOR-77.

I see what you did there

In a stunning reversal of historical trends, Americans are now apologizing more to Canadians than the other way around. If this apology deficit continues, there may be tariffs.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

A town hall for Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia on Tuesday quickly deteriorated into chaos, as police officers forcibly removed several protesters and subdued two of them with stun guns.

If you think figuring out tariffs on auto parts that cross borders twelve times before the car is finished is bad, wait until you see how often code crosses borders before the software is done.

Forget about Fentanyl; people are going to be smuggling iPhones from Canada into the US.

I see the dead cats are bouncing on Bay Street this morning.

How were you lucky enough to get a copy of this at the time? Whenever I chide myself for not doing this sort of thing, I remind myself that my computer education resources were limited to whatever the local library had plus the odd magazine.

I kind of want to go
