That is so funny.

I'm using Firefox and it's ... fine? There's a lot of crap that I ignore, I don't love some of the changes they've made, but I don't dislike it enough to research other options (& I'm certainly not going back to Chrome).

THEY RADIATE SADNESS

anyway, the tiny desk concert is just great

This Is Just To Say

I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update

and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying

What kind of annual loss did the military have? What's the total expenditure on it since 2018? Why talk about some public services having 'losses' & not others? (That's obviously rhetorical, we all know.)

!!!!!!

Congratulations on your nominations!!

writers

publishing is full of
disappointments

heartbreak, feeling overlooked, misunderstood

seeing those things that someone else
did or got or experienced.

feel your feelings! wallow a beat.
it hurts to not feel seen.

just don't stay in that negativity.

find your way back to actually writing.

That is so funny. I'm sure those types would have just loved the books my daughter used that had a cartoon mouse in Roman Britain :-)

Absolutely. Also the 'shift away from peacekeeping' has been going on for 20 years and there are currently only 27 Canadians (military & police combined) deployed to UN peacekeeping missions.

Congrats to your daughter! That’s awesome

TFW you look out the window and see the Earth disappear
🎥 Astronaut Reid Wiseman
📍 Artemis II from the far side of the Moon

Fair lol! He's pretty popular (playing stadiums on his upcoming tour), but I'm a fan (& going to see him), so I think my perception is skewed :-)

There's new documentary about Noah Kahan on Netflix (does he count as up & coming?)

It was good! Thank you :-)

I guess I'm going somewhere different on tomorrow's run...

I don't know what I thought it would be, but it wasn't "fake bear attacks on high-end cars"

I love crows, so would always vote for that. But you can't go wrong either way :-)

That's pretty much what I wear on writing-related panels :-) I like picking topical tshirts (historical panel? medieval-themed tshirt :-) )

I wear special tshirts!

Absolutely not. I never wear make up, haven't in literal decades. My version of 'dress up' is more like the dude version (at best, it's dress pants, often men's, with a shirt or sweater). It's all fine.

A great blue heron in an almost empty canal

Same heron as seen from the other side of the canal? (during my run :-) )

A great blue heron preening in the still mostly empty #RideauCanal this morning (I love them so much, forgot to pause my watch, kind of ruined the pace of my run)

So much!

Any reason for a day off work is a good reason

Me!

A tweet by “thuksgiving” reads “Pope Leo is WEAK on crime” you bolt awake in the university of Wittenberg. You are not online. It is 1517. You are Professor Martin Luther and you have changed your mind. The future cannot come to pass. The church must remain.

Oh look. I’m not alone.

And how much did it cost them to do that (staffing, admin)?
