amazing ruling

if I understand correctly...the gov't lawyers focused on arguing against the lower court's TROs...but didn't argue for a stay of its enforcement order (the consequences of the gov't violating the TROs)

the depravity of this administration is matched only by its incompetence

moose have surprisingly disparate habitat requirements. they need aquatic plants & new growth forests for food, but mature forests for shelter. their environment needs to be cold & snowy to deter predators, parasites & heat stress, but not so much as to make finding food difficult.

the result? 🫎⤵️

today's fun air travel fact: something can make no damn sense and still be an airline's official policy 😅

this post brought to you by a friend pointing out that a one-way ticket between 🇨🇦 and 🇪🇺 can cost almost as much as a round-trip ticket -- or even more 🙃

without downplaying the need to deal with "wtf is going on with young men" and especially "wtf is going on with white people more generally"

I think mainstream discourse hasn't yet come to grips with "wine moms are the vanguard of the Revolution and gen Z women are its elite shock troops"
A moment of silence, please, for the "young men are all MAGA now" narrative.

Question for the HiveMind™️

While I can successfully use pen and paper with my new bed rest protocols, I can’t use the computer for writing. Can anyone recommend a good voice to text tool for long form writing?

omg

the day has finally arrived

Sault Ste Marie is no longer a backwater cut off from the rest of the world

never in my life did I imagine I would ever see Pocari Sweat, my favourite sports drink from Japan, on the shelves of a grocery store in my hometown 😂

ad targeting never fails to amaze me.

desperately curious to know what kind of soybean & canola yields I can get from my apartment balcony container garden, yeah 😆
