Even in the most brutal conditions, people do their best to endure.
Amid Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, a mass wedding for more than 50 Palestinian couples took place in Khan Younis as hundreds gathered to celebrate.

THIS IS THE PUMPKIN TAKE I WANT TO SEE FOLKS.
So my pie take is there are no bad pies, but some pies have to be eaten a certain way:
1. Pecan: Always good
2. Fruit: Must be homemade. Otherwise bad.
3. Pumpkin: Best eaten cold at 7 am standing over a sink before everyone wakes up

Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

my read on it is that US streetcar revival had less to do with transportation planning and more with downtown revitalization & real estate development.
canadian city centres were never as hollowed-out and so the desire wasn't ever there. nor was a federal transit funding program like the US had.

When the US was swept with the new-streetcars-mixed-with-traffic fad in the 00s, Canada didn’t build a single one. They only built rail in exclusive lanes.
I wonder if that’s because most educated Canadians have visited Toronto and experienced its old streetcar lines.

The “forcibly” issue hangs on whether any action — in this case, yes, the throwing of the possibly, possibly not, exploding sandwich — must have carried a risk of inflicting bodily harm.
