JFC @bsky.app 😖 I had to Google Assamese
Are you writing in Assamese? Assamese Spoken language Assamese or Asamiya is an Indo-Aryan language spoken mainly in the northeastern Indian state of Assam, where it is an official language. It has long served as a lingua franca in parts of Northeast India. It has over 15 million native speakers and 8.3 million second language speakers according to Ethnologue. Source: Wikipedia

Here ya go 😊
Broccoli Casserole This cheesy broccoli casserole is a lightened up version of the classic and a total crowd-pleaser. The crispy panko topping is irresistible! PREP: 25 mins COOK: 25 mins SERVINGS: 4 -6 servings TOTAL: 50 mins Ingredients • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter divided • ¾ cup Panko breadcrumbs • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese • 5 cups coarsely chopped broccoli florets (about 1 1/4 pounds) • ¼ cup white whole wheat flour • 1 ¾ cups non-fat milk • ½ teaspoon garlic powder • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt • ¼ teaspoon dry mustard • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional • ½ cup freshly grated extra sharp cheddar cheese Instructions • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a wide, deep cast iron (or other ovenproof) skillet. Once melted, pour the butter into a small mixing bowl, then combine with the Panko breadcrumbs and the Parmesan cheese. Set aside. @ Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet. Sprinkle the white whole wheat flour over the top, then whisk constantly for 1 minute, until the butter smells fragrant and the flour turns slightly golden. Very slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly, adding a little at a time so that you break up the clumps of flour as you go. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes, allowing the mixture to bubble. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, mustard, black pepper, and cayenne (if using). Remove the skillet from the heat, then stir in the cheddar until smooth. Add the reserved broccoli, stir to coat, then pat the broccoli into an even layer in the skillet. (Alternatively, if you feel your skillet is not large enough to easily stir in the broccoli without it spilling out, you can combine the two in a separate bowl, then transfer the mixture back into the skillet.) Sprinkle the Panko mixture evenly over the top of the broccoli. Bake until hot and the topping is crisp and light golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. (Tip: For an even crisper topping, place the skillet under your broiler for a few minutes at the end, watching carefully so that it doesn't burn.) Let stand 5 minutes, then serve.

Monarch Joint Venture 1d • ( Over 20 partner organizations, including the Monarch Joint Venture, came together to deploy over 400 transmitters on migrating monarchs during fall 2025 for Project Monarch, a collaborative effort founded by Cellular Tracking Technologies and the Cape May Point Arts & Science Center. The project has shattered previous limitations in butterfly tracking, providing scientists with high- resolution, near-real-time data on individual butterflies as they navigate their incredible fall journey. Tagged monarchs have been tracked from the Rocky Mountains to the East Coast on their travels down to Florida, Mexico, and the Caribbean. As of Nov. 9, some tagged monarchs started reaching overwintering areas in Mexico. Image of central and Easter North America showing age Monarch butterfly sightings

Old Folks Tips: when I collect my RX & have my spectacles on, I take a moment to put the first letter of the med in black magic marker on the bottle. This is because I often don’t have my specs in the low light evening and can’t read the damn label 🙃

Andrew Scheer has been a MP long enough to know when a crucial vote takes place and that if he’s in HOC he can’t vote via app 😡 This is just Scheer-nanigans. Asshole. (Source: CBC)
18 hours ago What happened with the Conservatives? John Paul Tasker A note about that vote — and the two late additions to the "nay" tally. Conservative House leader Andrew Scheer and the party's caucus chair, Scott Reid, flew in at the last minute, saying they couldn't vote on the app and wanted to record their "nay" votes in person. That's a bit unusual. Those votes came as it was apparent that the budget was about to pass with two NDP abstentions and the other two Conservative non- votes. Speaking of those two Conservative abstentions. MP Matt Jeneroux announced earlier this month he was quitting politics after he was also rumoured to be crossing the floor to the Liberals. And a spokesperson for MP Shannon Stubbs said she couldn't vote due to a medical issue — she is recovering from major jaw and chin surgery. "The procedure corrected a significant medical condition rooted in complications from birth, after years of specialist assessments and medical planning. Her surgical team ordered several weeks of strict bedrest, no speaking and limited movement to ensure a safe recovery," the spokesperson said.
