How does anyone get anything done when there are cats?

“What began as chants has crossed into intimidation. What is excused as advocacy now routinely crosses into harassment, disruption and outright antisemitism, playing out openly from places like the Eaton Centre to university campuses across the country."

Fascinating fact: If you take a chess board and place a single grain of rice on the first square, 2 grains on the second, 4 grains on the third, and so on, then you get banned from the chess club before you've even finished the 2nd row.

While I do not celebrate Christmas, I do celebrate eating and drinking whatever I want for a few days without guilt. May you all celebrate with me!

Jr Fish and I just completely cleaned out the fridge and I’m pleased to report we no longer have anything from pre-COVID times. On the other hand, the recycling bin is now overflowing.

On Christmas Eve 1968, in Lunar orbit, the Apollo 8 crew took this photo: “Earthrise."

I'll never forget how inspiring the Apollo missions were to my brother and me as kids. They showed us what our country and humanity can accomplish when we work together toward a common goal.

Not that this is the point but why does every non-Jew mispronounce the name “Epstein”???? (I’m even hearing Jews say it wrong now too.)

I spent Christmas Eve in the Water of Leith and under the castle. Edinburgh really is the nicest place I've ever lived.
The Water of Leith - at the point, a broad fast-flowing stream - races between overhanging trees. A pale yellow glow filters through the bare branches. Stark buildings and walls of Edinburgh Castle cling to a steep volcanic outcropping, looming over bare silhouetted trees. The buildings are illuminated in red, and set against a wide, pale, cloudless evening sky.

One of the things I don’t like when I return to Canada from Australia is my Apple Watch reminding me of all the walking I did last week and (paraphrasing here) why the hell am I not keeping it up this week?

I find this history podcast so interesting and refreshing I even pay $ to subscribe. See if you can work out why.
Noisier+ Early Access “Short History of… The Conquest of Everest” Transcript > Automatically transcribed It is May, 1952. On a mountain ridge that skirts the border of Nepal and Tibet, two men are locked in a battle with the elements. In the lead is Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa guide who grew up in the shadow of these peaks.

Top left is a blue tile labeled “Common 3” with a Venn diagram icon and the subtitle “Arrange words by theme.” Top right is a peach tile labeled “Sudogoose” with a goose icon and the subtitle “A lighthearted spin on sudoku.” Bottom left is a green tile labeled “Slideways” with a horizontal arrow icon and the subtitle “Find all possible words.” Bottom right is a pink tile labeled “Wordie” with a grid icon and the subtitle “Guess the 5-letter word.” Four large rounded tiles arranged in a two-by-two grid on a light grid-pattern background. Top left is a gray tile labeled “Mini 5x5” with a small crossword-style grid icon and the subtitle “Bite-sized crosswords.” Top right is a teal tile labeled “Color Flood” with a paint bucket icon pouring paint and the subtitle “Fill the grid with one color.” Bottom left is a yellow tile labeled “Double Up” with stacked blocks and upward arrows, with the subtitle “Combine same numbers.” Bottom right is a purple tile labeled “Digit Shift” with numbered tiles 1 through 4 and the subtitle “Arrange digits in order.”

I'm old enough to remember when politicians resigned over the simplest of affairs. Now they can be associated with one of the worst paedophile rings ever to exist and still keep their positions and power. It's grim.
