I’ve decided to do my 1990s project and my 1970s project at the same time. Who knows? Maybe they end up becoming one awesome project.
Perhaps one ends up dominating and the other falls away.
I couldn’t decide. A.I. couldn’t decide for me (said my interest is balanced) so both it is.

For two years in the 1970s, the government of New Brunswick hoped to alleviate unemployment through the production of a unique car.
Over the course of two years, 2,854 cars were built before it came to an abrupt end.
This is the story of the Bricklin SV-1.

Seconded.
If you’re an American and you work in healthcare, here’s your chance to get away from the hellscape of America and come to Canada for awhile.
And you won’t have to become a citizen.

Any 🇺🇸 nurses and doctors want to come north to 🇨🇦? BC has just made it much, much easier and faster for you to move here to work in a healthcare system that doesn't run on profit...

B.C. has recruited over 100 U.S. nurses in just over a month after streamlining credentialing
1,200 American-trained workers have expressed interest, including 573 physicians and 413 nurses.

My friend and mentor, @levarburton.bsky.social, gave the commencement address at Howard University yesterday, and it is just magnificent. I can't believe how lucky I am to know, love, and be loved, by LeVar.

I want to knit this sweater. Judging by the sweatband she’s wearing, I’m going to guess 1984 or 1985.

I have sympathy for the groups of Americans coming to Canada to beg Canadian tourists to visit the U.S. again.
But honestly, the fix isn’t going to be found on our side of the border. The call is coming from inside the house.
The White House.
You need to get Trump out of office.

I say this without a hint of sarcasm. The Armageddon DVD commentary is the finest work of Ben Affleck’s career.

Hopefully this gets the attention of the oil & gas companies who made deals with indigenous peoples to put oil sites and drilling equipment on indigenous land.
Maybe they’ll smarten up and stopped funding Danielle Smith and her separatist nonsense.

This may me tear up (for real). Sesame Street was a beacon of light in America post-Civil Rights Act of 1964.
I’m 49 yrs old and grew up with Sesame Street. I recently read ‘Sunny Days: The Children’s Television Revolution that Changed America’ by David Kamp.
What a loss. What an embarrassment.

Crystal Ball by Styx is one of my favourite songs from the 1970s.
This live version is amazing.

Going ALL the way back to 1983 with my current post-study audiobook:
Wow. Hard to believe I was 7 yrs old when this book was released. Good times.

I did like, 11 hours of trigonometry homework tonight, and feel like I barely scratched the surface.
And I’m only doing basic trig appropriate for trade school carpentry.
It’s a very deep rabbit hole to fall down into…

I’m using AI for the first time to learn trigonometry. Oddly, I find it a useful learning tool BECAUSE it makes so many mistakes.
I have to critically look at each explanation of an attempted answer and decide whether it’s right or wrong and ask AI to double check or fix its calculations.
