It looks so good. I'm an adaptation skeptic but hopeful about this one!

Not fanfic, original characters, though I believe the author has acknowledged that seeing the Sid/Ovi doc was a spark for the idea.

"It's not that another huge offensive explosion from the Blue Jays would've seemed fake, but there's something especially real-seeming about needing an alternate path to victory, and finding it, and against the Yankees." @christhompson.bsky.social:

The Blue Jays Have The Juice | Defector

The Toronto Blue Jays needed a different script for Wednesday’s Game 4 against the New York Yankees. They’d gotten their lead in the series by socking the ball all over the damn place—six extra-base h...

Ahhhh, that makes sense too. Also, I think there's just a general keeping-up-with-the-Joneses thing where people who used to shop at MEC will now buy from an Arc'teryx store, etc.? (But friends have also said the $ waterfront bars are full of students, which was...not the case when we were young! 😂)

(RIP tho to like 85% of the small-business haunts of my youth, and welcome to an astonishing assortment of high-end retail chains. Dang, Hali! Partial hypothesis: The students here nowadays have a lot more money to spend than they used to?)

I am in Halifax! Yesterday I visited @kingsbookstore.bsky.social and then I visited a queer-worker-owned coffeeshop co-op and, while it's easy to lament some of the good local stuff that's gone away in the 20 (😱!) years since I graduated, there's some very cool newer stuff happening here, too.

Yeppp. I think Macmillan, at least, has said they'll pay the equivalent for their titles that weren't registered in time? Not sure who else. (Your book also has to have been in the set that was downloaded at a specific time, which also narrows this list down somewhat from previously available ones.)

Doing some research, I just came across this image of shad fishermen checking their nets in the Bay of Fundy. I'm sharing because it's cool. Have a good day.

Three fishermen are checking nets strung high above the ground. The tide has gone out. One is on a mule-pulled cart, one is climbing a pole, and a third watches from the ground. Credit: Library and Archives Canada/National Film Board fonds/e011176116.

Petrusich: Swift is too practiced and savvy to ever really make a “bad” record. (So is Max Martin, incidentally—they are both virtuosos of the form.) If you are a connoisseur of pop music, you will surely find things to enjoy here; but if, say, Sonic Youth is your favorite band, I’d probably keep it moving. Mostly, I think she sounds stuck. Maybe it’s healthy that Travis Kelce is not proving to be her muse, but I found myself hungry for a new, more mid-thirties-ish point of view. That she calls out his podcast by name in a song about his sexual prowess is hilarious.

Huh! Well I guess it wouldn't surprise me if the Westons have more pull in ON than AB, ha.

For me the key if I'm on a sidewalk or shared path is to ride to conditions accordingly! ie, I slow down.
