This year, the Timbit turns 50 years old.
It is estimated that Canadians have eaten enough Timbits to go to the Moon and back five times over the past half century.
But what is the history of the Timbit?
This is the story.

Can’t help but notice a lot of social media reports of Tik Tok censoring anti-ICE content in its first weekend under Trump-directed US management, and no mainstream news coverage thus far.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

According to an internal email to Washington Post sports staff, the paper isn't sending any reporters to cover the winter Olympics next month. The decision comes as major layoffs are expected in the coming weeks.

Three weeks ago, my husband and I were hanging out with monarchs in the highlands of central Mexico. We stayed two nights with a small family run business near Macheros.

“What did you see?” asked Toad.
“I saw the sun coming out,” said Frog. “I saw the birds sitting and singing in the tree. I saw my mother and father working in their garden. I saw flowers in the garden.”
“You found it!” cried Toad.

Stayed at my aunt's house in Toronto. Next door they were blasting music, singing and dancing but honestly I felt happy that they could experience joy
I didn't fall asleep until 1 am and that was absolutely fine.

Always has been a brutalist masterpiece. Spent a couple of months here as a 16 year old volunteering for the summer camps.
There were lots of good memories here even after that summer.

It bugs me that the media says that Canadians are just boycotting the US when it comes to travel
Somehow these articles never mention that a lot of us Canadians are paying attention to what's happening and we are *also* scared and angry

My brain randomly reminded me of my favourite point and click video game made back in 1996, The Neverhood, something I hadn't thought about in 20 years and now refuses to let me go to sleep.

Correction/Update: Seems like ION LRT in Waterloo uses electric switch heaters as well which work fine in winter/snow.
Wonder what the difference is.

Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.
Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.
