A panel from Achewood. On the left, a shirtless Ray towels himself off. Roast Beef reads a magazine in a chair. Ray: Man, but does it suck to run a mile! Back me up, Beef! Beef: It cold sucks to run a mile

A screenshot from my Garmin app, showing that I ran a smidge over 1.25 miles, at an average pace of 11:34 per mile, in a total time of 14 minutes and 33 seconds. I burned 187 total calories.

It has been a long and injury-riddled road, but I put in a mile this morning for the first time in years so I got that going for me.

About a thousand years ago, Craig Shaw Gardner had a trilogy called The Cineverse Cycle, wherein the protagonist was bounced around through different movie genres. Seems like a fun concept with which to play around.

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

B.C. hockey team fined $1,500 after rowdy crowd disrupts game, throws beer onto ice | CBC News The Prince George Cougars failed to provide adequate security during a chaotic game against the Penticton Vees, Western Hockey League officials say.

The Prince George Cougars have been fined $1,500 for failing to have adequate security the night their game devolved as fans threw beer onto the ice yelling at the referees. Could it all have been avoided if the WHL allowed video review of penalties like the NHL and BCHL? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops The Catechism of the Catholic Church on Just War Doctrine All citizens and all governments are obliged to work for the avoidance of war. However, "as long as the danger of war persists and there is no international authority with the necessary competence and power, governments cannot be denied the right of lawful self-defense, once all peace efforts have failed." (CCC, no. no.2308) The strict conditions for legitimate defense by military force require rigorous consideration. The gravity of such a decision makes it subject to rigorous conditions of moral legitimacy. At one and the same time: 1 The damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain; 3 There must be serious prospects of success; 2 All other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective; 4 The use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. The power of modern means of destruction These are the traditional elements enumerated in what is called the weighs very heavily in evaluating "just war" doctrine. The evaluation of this condition. these conditions for moral legitimacy belongs to the prudential judgment of those who have responsibility for the common good. (CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, NO. 2309) The Church and human reason both assert the permanent validity of the moral law during armed conflict. "The mere fact that war has regrettably broken out does not mean that everything becomes licit between the warring parties." (CCC, no. 2312) PRAY FOR PEACE.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling.
