Won't pretend I'm impartial here but I do not think the US should be imprisoning the immigrant spouses of US citizens as they appear for green card interviews. Who would want this? To what end?

Primula includes species commonly cultivated. Gardeners recognize a few broad kinds, including the auriculas, which are traditionally (in the UK, at least) displayed in “theatres,” like this one at Stockton Bury Gardens. Their intricate flowers often have a mealy coating. #Primulaceae #Botany 🌾🧪🌱

8675309 is prime, and so is 8675311, so if you ever need a middlin'-large pair of adjacent primes to test your cryptographic suite, all you need is a 1980s earworm and a +2 and you're all set.
Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

one thing ive thought for awhile is the messaging around clean energy has been atrocious
“what if you never had to pay for gas again” feels like it would resonate more than “we need to bring CO2 levels down”

I’m one of many who believe our Vancouver waterfront should have more things to go to. Here’s one I’ve been advising & helping with— HAVN now has a proposed site in Vancouver for a floating sauna boat. They have one in Victoria already. I’ve experienced similar in Helsinki & Oslo! www.havnsaunas.com

Saw the VFD fundraising outside of the Canada Line and I gotta say it sucks that firefighters have to stand outside begging for money while Vancouver Police get a 50 million raise to their already insane budget. @cityofvancouver.bsky.social is blowing it so bad.
