My wife jumped up yelling "Hey! My strawberries!!

i am tired of having to listen to dumb assholes just because they have a lot of money

I wrote about Amelie for its 25th anniversary. www.pajiba.com/film_reviews...

CBC Olympics coverage just cut away from the finish of the Women's curling semifinal to show the beginning of the men's hockey semifinal, and I am furious at whoever made that decision. Yes, I know it's streaming. Still mad.

Pick up the nearest book. Open to page 42 and post your second sentence. Add #page42 and include this rule as a reply. "We don't know when he was born or died, and we have no record of his life other than what he noted in the Farolfi ledger"

@ceilidhann.bsky.social is this of interest? And should @pajiba.com consider the move as well?

Hey @bsky.app , can we have an option to have accounts we follow NOT appear in the Discover feed? There's too much overlap currently. Every second or third post in Discover is one I already saw in Following.

It would be great if this is what finally brought him down.

I feel sympathy for this young crow, we're currently under a heat warning. We have a bath in the shade set up for them, so it should be okay #birds

I was just on Wikipedia and noticed that @maxrushden.bsky.social 's page mentions David O'Doherty, but @phlaimeaux.bsky.social 's page does not mention Max. The gossip columns are going to go wild!

I told Theo that he's handsome

It cooled off enough to make no-knead bread - this time with shredded gouda inside and out.

Restarting Doctor Who 2005, remembering how much I dislike Rose's mum.

Theo in the morning sun

Theo had a pretty good night.

We are fostering Theo, rescued from a colony, and not at all feral, just a chill veteran. I hope @cait.bsky.social approve.

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

I reported a minor error in a web page, and the response I received was polite, but included the sentence "We have received few complaints regarding this". I think they meant to say "a few complaints". I am surprised by the tone change caused by omitting a single "a". #linguistics #langsky

I am saddened, though not terribly surprised, at how many people in law enforcement are so eager to just follow orders.

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

If you see this, quote with a bridge from your gallery. Former railway bridge turned walking trail, Middleton, Nova Scotia.

I normally give the crows and Blue Jays peanuts, but it's the coldest day of the winter so far, so I tossed out some bread crusts. I think an occasional carb is ok when they are burning a lot of calories. 🪶

I am available to bake for Valentine's gifts, or for your own fascism-fighting-fuel stash. Brownies or cookies in the freezer for whenever you need them is a powerful tool.
