Astronaut Chris Hadfield performs a spacewalk outside a spacecraft, wearing a white spacesuit with a Canadian flag on the arm. He is tethered to the structure, with equipment and tools attached to the suit. The curved edge of Earth is visible below with clouds and blue atmosphere, while the background is the blackness of space.

He seems to have significantly depleted a variety of weapons systems, including Patriot missiles

Dare I say that he has decimated them?

He has actually done more than just decimate them because, for some weapons, it's reported he has used up 50% of the available supply.

I seem to recall that T.S. Eliot was a Unitarian.

#UnitarianUniversalists certainly claim him as a "famous Unitarian".

I wonder what he'd think of Unitarians accusing a #ClergyAbuse critic of #BladphemousLibel for blogging about #UUpedophiles & rapists?

Not that lawyers need AI products to make shit up.

Lawyers have been #MakingShitUp for centuries, if not some millennia.

I quite enjoy challenging the shit #lawyers make up. 😀😇

Dear Republicans,

On Virginia, you got no one to blame but yourselves. We call this “hoisted by your own petard.” This is what you get for pledging your undying fealty to a corrupt, cheating, anti-democratic idiot.

Sincerely,

Your Former Republican Colleague

Stenness: The northern lights over Stenness, May 2025. Three impressive uprights, originally a stone circle of twelve stones 30m diameter, in a rock-cut ditch like the nearby Ring of Brodgar. The enormous height and narrowness of the huge slab must be seen.

The City of Montreal must stand firm against Airbnb and its profiteers The City of Montreal must not cave to Airbnb or its profiteers, the same people who've been exacerbating the housing / affordability crises.

“It’s worth considering that Airbnb has encouraged Montreal landlords to pressure the city into reducing regulation on short-term rentals. The city must stand firm against Airbnb and its profiteers.

“You give an inch, they take a mile.”

My own first experience in dealing with Iranian diplomats followed the sinking of the Iran Ajr in September of 1987. Much to my surprise, my counterpart received his masters degree from the Georgetown School of Foreign Service. He was completely professional and spoke perfect English.
