Good bike lanes like what's on Pandora decrease my anxiety so much!

I am not a cyclist, because I just don't like cycling and I know that's weird here. But I love bike lanes because I am always so worried that I'm not giving cyclists enough space because I want them to be safe!

When my dad was a consultant he had a special rate chart for his 'A' rated clients. He told me later that the 'A' was for A**hole and he only gave those rates to his worst clients.

A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

The people of Iran pose no threat to the United States — this has always been an oil war at the behest of the 1%.

Now, Trump is threatening genocide over it.

Where is the leadership from Carney to denounce this illegal war? Where is the pressure from provincial leaders?

The President of the United States is openly threatening to commit genocide against 90 million people.

Prime Minister Carney: if there was ever a moment to denounce this illegal war, withdraw your support, and call for accountability for war crimes—it’s now.

Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

Headline: NASA astronauts are counting down to the Artemis II moon launch. Displayed over a photo of four people in bright orange space suits.

At bottom, an image of the Artemis II rocket on the launch pad. Text above it reads:
NASA is targeting April 1 to launch Artemis II, sending four astronauts on a mission around the moon that will help shape its future lunar exploration plans.
If it proceeds, the flight would mark the first time humans travel beyond Earth orbit in more than 50 years, since Apollo 17 in 1972.
The mission will use the Space Launch System rocket and Orion crew capsule, though both have faced multiple delays this year due to issues discovered during testing.

Portraits of each of the Artemis II astronauts: NASA's Reid Wiseman, commander; NASA's Victor Glover, pilot; NASA's Christina Koch, mission specialist; and Canada's Jeremy Hansen, mission specialist.
Text above reads: Artemis II will carry three NASA astronauts and one Canadian astronaut on a 10-day mission that could take them farther into space than any humans have gone before.

At top, a diagram showing the Artemis II mission's flight path. Text reads:
The mission will test critical systems, conduct medical and scientific experiments, and enable observation of the moon's far side.
While satellites and some Apollo missions have captured parts of the far side, the crew may see areas of the lunar surface never before viewed by humans.
Artemis II will also help validate technology for future missions, including Artemis III and a planned moon landing during Artemis IV, and support NASA's long-term goal of establishing a sustained human presence on the moon.

Tomorrow is an excellent day to pick up and read the first book in a series about wizards and witches and magic and the intrigue and machinations of a magical world with a disproportionately important magical school.

That's right, I'm talking about The Colour of Magic, the first Discworld book.

Kraft was really smart during the first bit of the boycott with their advertising. Felt like every other commercial I saw was one for Kraft talking about their Canadian factory and Canadian workers.

This reminds me of when we had to get my mom’s beloved but crazy heavy upright piano out of our split level using a bobcat (the machine, not the animal). Mom just about had a heart attack watch that.
