I live in one of the few places on God’s good Earth that a person can hear Honeymoon Suite played unironically (laudatory)

Urine tests reveal "substantial" consumption of ethanol by wild chimpanzees.🧪
Previously, researchers assessed ethanol levels in ripe fruits & how much of these fruits the chimps typically ate to estimate that they consumed ~1.5 drinks a day. BUT directly demonstrating alc consumption was trickier.
“Plus $9,074 spent on cryptocurrency.”
This sounds about right. Grifters gonna grift.
Anyways, the real outrage here anyway shouldn't be that the government wans to spend less money on post-secondary education, it's that it wants to take money out in a way that prevents institutions from offsetting any losses through tuition.
NB WANTS TO MAKE PSE WORSE. That's the only headline.

We made the big time.
One of my most cherished classes is my 18th century novels course where the primary learning objective is "learn how read long novels." We did a "couch to 5k" approach to attention span and note-taking.

How many fronts is this? I wonder if anyone is keeping track, because I’ve lost count
my 2026 resolution is to stop talking about climate in terms of global mean temperature (will rise a couple degrees, sounds manageable, nobody cares) and start talking in terms of H bomb equivalents (holy shit, seems bad, WTF)
Good start.
In fairness, a quick search tells me that Court Party as a term has been in use since 17th C England, this guy could have got it elsewhere. Knopff and Morton are OG Calgary School though, so definitely influential in Canadian anti-left circles
