It's almost time for Ramadan, as Muslims tonight peered to the crescent moon to see if the month of Ramadan starts tonight or the day after. As with every year, I'm starting this thread so that people can ask questions, and learn about Ramadan from one person's perspective of it.
How about something good for a change? What an amazing kid 😊!

I don't post a lot of this stuff generally, because it's everywhere and too much and not enough. But there's a very simple request in that last paragraph
Here are my top 10 dogs carrying big sticks!
Dale Partridge on Twitter writes: "Feminist media is BIG mad about me saying that women shouldn’t wear underwear (leggings and sports bras) as outerwear. As Pearl says, “It’s amazing how hard women will fight to be naked.” Immodest ladies, read 1 Tim. 2:9, repent, and follow Christ." Attached are two images. Image 1 headline: “Outraged pastor slams worker at quaint coffee shop for wearing ‘sinful’ leggings and sports bra in front of kids” Image 2 headline: “‘Make sin shameful again’: Pastor sparks row after sports bra complaint”
A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.
Mayor Gondek, thank you for joining us at the Calgary #ForeverCanadian Unity Bus stop. Also, thank you for your wise comments about building Canada on unity, not on partisanship. We desperately need leaders who unite, not divide.
Good luck on Election Day!

Voting to reelect Mayor #JyotiGondek & I hope you will too. As a woman of colour in #YYC politics she faced ugly misogyny, partisan press, shadowy dark money groups & heavy-footed provincial overstepping with style & grace, ZERO scandals & made the right calls when it mattered. 4 more years! #yyccc

This detailed and lengthy Facebook post is a good glimpse into why Canadians are so pissed about the 51st state / annexation rhetoric. I've screenshotted it into 3 parts.

Science break.
This kayaker gets approached by an otter every time he visits a lake. The otter was orphaned after the mother was in an accident, and the man helped it throughout it's rehabilitation process to later release it back into the wild. Volume up.🔊

The way to get away with political scandals as a politician isn't to carefully cover-up 1 scandal, it's to do 5000 scandals in public every day.
Mian is the latest councillor to signal no desire to run for re-election this October.

Just a few days after receiving his Nobel prize, the writer Albert Camus wrote this beautiful letter to his old teacher (h/t www.themarginalian.org/2014/11/19/a...)
No private sector business would take on a project where they assume all the risk and have no say regarding the design
A big mistake by city council. Calgary will be regretting this for generations #yyccc #Calgary
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
From a blue bird to a blue butterfly — we're now on Bluesky!

Excellent NYT interview with the outgoing U.S. ambassador to Hungary. This is a key insight!
You read that right.
In 2024, the UCP government was sending a pretty consistent $12,000 a MONTH to the Countersignal.
For a grand total of $116,800 in a year and two months.
Of taxpayers money.

Ten weeks after a cyber attack, Calgary Public Libraries are now back to full force.
DAILY . . . TWENTY THOUSAND people visit the various Calgary public libraries.
Congrats to all the worker bees who made the comeback possible AND the patient patrons who stood by them all.
What an amazing experience for these students!
So sweet!
I wish my kids got along as well as my cats!
