Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI.

I never got into using protien powder. But if you do use them, just a general heads up.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Short story anthologies are great, actually.

Oh right I forgot its the season of roaming large grackle flocks. One which has descended into the yard, whilst screeching, to eat anything and everything in sight.

Putting the internet in appliances is just a universally bad idea. No one needs to give their fridge network access.

Hey Canadians! This might happen to us soon as well!

If Bill S-209 passes in it's current form, you'll need to register in a govt. mandated database in Canada.

1. Find and contact your MP to oppose this here: www.ourcommons.ca/Members/en
2. SHARE THIS - cause a lot of people aren't even aware!

Why doesn't the GO Train run all night during Nuite Blanche? Not busses, but the actual trains. It really should.

Spooky season approaches, so I'm going to repost some of my Halloween comics from years past.

A four panel comic called Happy Halloween From The Birds. In panel 1, a pileated woodpecker has pecked its huge gaping rectangular holes in a pumpkin. In panel 2, a yellow-bellied sapsucker has pecked a face using its standard rows of small holes. In panel 3, a satin bowerbird has carved a pumpkin into a bower and placed its favorite blue candies all around it. In panel 4, a loggerhead shrike has impaled mini pumpkins on a fence's metal spikes and is saying "fight me."

A lot of people assume that Amsterdam has been biketopia since time immemorial but it actually was car hell for decades before the citizens became fed up with car fatalities and forced the government to rebuild everything around mass transit and bikes. It took time and will, but they did it.

Driving didn’t “naturally” become inevitable. We designed a society that make driving inevitable in most places. We can design something different
