Nine sailors on the Nancy, boys, made fifty run away.
The powder in their hair that day was powder sent their way
By poor and ragged sailor men, who swore that they would stay.

Sometimes, if you have an older dog, you'll be halfway through morning walk on a warm fall day and they will decide they want to flop down on a random bit of sidewalk or grass and bliss out for awhile.
If you possibly can, you should sit down on the grass and pet them for awhile.

Mass murder.
"It was estimated in early November that 600,000 people had already died because of [the USAID] cuts, with two-thirds of them being children.
I think it is fair to say that this is a crime against humanity. It is a staggering number of deaths."

Since Atlantic cod fisheries collapsed in the early 1990s, ecosystems have been less productive and have struggled to recover.

Canadians are grappling with the very real and very frightening possibility that Mark Carney *played us like a fiddle* 👇🏼
At a time when the financial sector was under pressure to align with climate action, he correctly identified climate change posed a risk to investments & the energy transition posed a generational opportunity to profit. That is not the same as protecting people, communities and ecosystems from harm.

Recently, as I was doing some deep breathing exercises in the vestry to cope with some nonsense at church, someone came up to me and said "these days I have to ask God for patience, because if I ask him for strength I'll deck a bitch." and honestly? Biblical levels of wisdom there.

The artwork, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”

A hard agree that this part of Scott street really sucks for people doing this while trying to drive
Here's one of the major flaws with the Scott St EB cycle track: drivers do not stop at the stop line. They pull all the way forward and block the crosswalk and cycle track while waiting for other drivers. Happened at all but one cross street from Holland to Bayview today.
It's really ignorant.

Ordering no quarter, as Hegseth effectively did, isn't a newfangled modern war crime. It was understood as a crime as far back as the Revolutionary War. Washington threatened to do reprisals over it.
