Tonight’s cafeteria special is tacos. And, enjoy the outer decks.
Shut up & sing.
Shut up & dribble.
Shut up & make movies.
Shut up & plan cities.
Fuck that.
If we don’t ALL speak up, when things are this bad and getting worse by the minute, and everything important is the line, then we’re complicit.
The bigger your platform, the bigger your responsibility.

Lovely skating day.
Doug Ford says there's not enough money to keep funding Ontario healthcare.
He should make a TV ad about that.

How many provinces and territories will show us leadership on shunning the CSAM platform before the Carney government gets around to it?

The right sided section of the human section of the Lego Christmas village. It includes the Alpine lodge (2023), winter Christmas Market (the birthday gift, originally from 2013), the holiday train (2016), and the Holiday station (2015), and a few odds and ends. The train is placed on track arranged in the foreground. The building sets are placed at the back. There are lights about the sets for decoration and emphasis.
The mythical middle section of the winter village. Santa’s workshop (2014) is on the far left, beside the gingerbread house (2016), and the elf club house (2020). There is an empty Lego train track, and lots of space available for this year’s additions.
The left sided section of the human winter village. It includes the Main Street and cable car (2022), the fire station (2018), the winter village post office (2011), winter village toy shop (2015), winter village bakery (2011), and Santa’s visit (2012). The sets are arranged along the back of a shelf, with a train track placed in front of them. There are lights arranged about the Lego sets).
The Holiday Lego is up!!! I have all the previous sets I want (courtesy of a recent birthday gift from dear husband via eBay). Eagerly awaiting this year’s sets.
A black granite memorial plaque features a circular arrangement of names in white text, bordered by silver rivets. At the top center is an emblem of a bee with gears. The text reads "in memoriam" followed by two columns of names: Geneviève Bergeron, Hélène Colgan, Nathalie Croteau, Barbara Daigneault, Anne-Marie Edward, Maud Haviernick, Maryse Laganière, Maryse Leclair, Anne-Marie Lemay, Sonia Pelletier, Michèle Richard, Annie St-Arneault, Annie Turcotte, Barbara Klucznik Widajewicz. At the bottom: "6 DÉCEMBRE 1989".
On this day in 1989, an armed gunman murdered 14 women at École Polytechnique de Montréal. Another ten women and four men were injured.
The anniversary of the massacre is commemorated annually on Dec. 6 as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.
12 raspberry dark chocolate cookies just out of the oven on a silpat lined baking tray. The cookie dough is nicely browned, and bits of fresh raspberries and cheese now of dark chocolate can be seen interspersed within the dough. Best eaten day out of the oven.
I made these last weekend. Raspberry dark chocolate cookies. They were delicious. A bit of joy.
An early thin layer of ice on the Rennie Park outdoor ice rink and skating oval that the Zamboni had just lay down. Opening day for skating is this coming Saturday.
Opening day is this Saturday, November 29th! Hurray for winter!
I was going the other way, Ottawa to Toronto. With the detour up to Markham and another delay, we were over 3 hours late arriving. I almost got a free ticket (achieved with a 4 hour late arrival). But the new train was nice.
Two pages apart in the @thestar.com : 9 year old killed by driver of SUV jumping curb, and Ontario bans speed cameras. Yes they are related, because Doug Ford inculcates a culture that the world is made for drivers, but kids and cyclists? Too bad.

The Toronto #BlueJays gave us arguably the closest #WorldSeries in modern history, and the most fun and inspiring playoff run I can remember in any sport. I LOVE THAT TEAM, and 100% believe #TORONTO should have a HUGE CELEBRATION ANYWAY, to thank the team, fans, city and COUNTRY for a legendary run!
