Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

A Bluesky exclusive:

The Conservatives have not named their nominees. Is nobody willing to step up? Afraid of losing?

This is weird. What's the message behind this? Are they trying something strategic? Seems like another mistake.

"The Conservatives have not announced who will run under their banners in the three byelections."

🚨BREAKING: Carney calls byelections in two Toronto ridings and Terrebonne. Voters will head to the polls on April 13.

Liberals will need to win all three races to get a thin majority government. #cdnpoli #canpoli

Never forget, the electric car is here to save the car industry, not the planet.

Canada’s military has helped several non NATO countries in times of need. It’s what Canada does and is respected for πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ‘

Our Canadian military will NOT be engaging in military force. I wish people would stop with the misinformation, it’s very unCanadian

Sometimes stating the obvious in a statement, is a more accurate approach.

#France #President β€˜Macron makes formal statement about #US-Israel led #war against #Iran reportedly to reduce nuclear capacity.

A pack of mild Spanish chorizo

A pack of mild Spanish chorizo

The biggest mistake I made in staying on my healthy path last week was in not having a batch of soup in the fridge. Boy, it makes a big difference when life gets complicated and you need a weeknight dinner.

So, I’m back on my Sunday Soupmaking bullshit.

Let’s go!

Today, it’ll be chorizo.

Researchers praise β€˜stunning’ results of new prostate cancer treatment Early trials of the drug VIR-5500 showed it shrinking tumours in some patients

I have this cancer in remission (nearly 20 years now). I'm convinced the only reason I'm still alive is because I was (for a neuro knock-on catastrophe) treated with immunoglobulin donated by strangers. Their antibodies taught mine, got me out of a wheelchair.

Salsa verde is so easy to make. You toss β€œ in canola or avocado oil, broil until charring, turn, char some more.

Let cool. Throw in a blender, add salt. Blend until smooth. Taste. Add white vinegar or lime juice to taste. Salt if it needs. More chili if it’s lacking heat. Blend again. Voila. 🍜🍽️

Just do a raised garden bed if you want. You'll end up with one anyhow, trying to amend the clay. Make sure there is drainage - a wee ditch full of gravel leading to a larger, deeper area full of gravel. A layer of fabric and dirt over that, some grass, and voila, mini french drain!

We raised the level of the garden, bit by bit. Beds for planting are formed freehand, about 8" above paths. Beds are 2 foot wide, paths are about 1 foot wide. Paths act as drainage, all sloped to an end channel that leads out to a few fruit trees in the yard. Lots of peat moss, manure, compost >>

Trump unilaterally imposed *obviously illegal & unconstitutional* $175 billion in taxes, and it took Republican Supreme Court 10.5 months to rule against them, undermining so much business & economic activity, trust in US, and our long-term growth & security: what a failure of our institutions.
