Saw the first* red-winged black bird on Saturday, and the first turkey vulture today - spring is here baby!!

(*saw a single one while getting into the car, and then approximately 7 million** more driving around)

Royal Canadian Air Force Major Discovered on White Supremacist Dating Site The Canadian Anti-Hate Network has identified over 190 Canadian users of a white supremacist dating website, including a Royal Canadian Air Force Major.

Late last year, a white supremacist dating platform was hacked and its users leaked. One of those users is Royal Canadian Air Force Major Tristan Armstrong, who CAHN has linked to thousands of posts made on far-right forums between 2019 and 2024.

This is the same organization who offered me an ultra casual minimum wage position doing sensory that I would have to take time off my other job to do.

Because they valued my sensory expertise 😐😐😐

A screenshot of a job posting showing a supposedly competitive annual salary starting at just over $37,000 a year. The minimum wage in Ontario is $17.60 an hour, which works out to $36,608/yr

"but no one wants to work anymore!!"

This science job is looking for a bachelor of science plus experience and pays literal pennies more than minimum wage, with zero benefits.

(part of a conversation between Dad (83) and I who are both night owls)

Dad: "I generally go to bed around 12:30 but if it's close to 12:30 then I have to stay up until 12:34 because I can't go to bed before the numbers line up."

And they say there was no such thing as autism back in the day 😐

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

I'm so glad she wrote this. The portrayal of her in this series is, to me, indefensible. She deserves an apology from the filmmakers and FX.

And if you hear yourself saying you portrayed a real person (who's alive!) in a particular way to manipulate your audience, please go improve.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

I'm so fucking enraged.

I'm looking for a specific addition of Richard III, which I think is possibly out of print and thus hard to find.

So I bought it from Amazon.

Someone took a fucking photo of the cover of the edition I'm looking for and plopped it on this shitty version.
