In 1859, a war was fought over the San Juan Islands off the coast of Vancouver Island.
The war involved warships and hundreds of troops from either side. And when the dust settled, one brave figure was dead.
A single pig.
This is the story of The Pig War.

at sxsw, @jay.bsky.team pokes fun at mark zuckerberg by mimicking a version of a t-shirt he designed for himself, which said "aut zuck aut nihil" (either zuck or nothing, like "aut caesar aut nihil").
jay's shirt? "mundus sine caesaribus" (a world without caesars).

The largest purchaser of wine is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario.
The shelves of Kentucky whiskey, American beer and California wine are now empty.
The LCOBO was doing a brisk business - good news for Canadian, French, Spanish, Australian, Chilean.
Sucks for Kentucky and California.

Another shot at the ISS over Metro Vancouver this evening. Starts at 6:18 PM in the W. At 6:21 PM the ISS will be almost directly overhead. At 6:23 PM the station hits the terminator and fades away near Mars.
