Any Americans watching Canadian news: here, red is Liberal, blue is Conservative. It's opposite to you.

"Your cultural foods are not the problem, it's just that society hasn't yet found a way to profit off them."

"If your cultural foods don't come from one of the 21 countries of the Mediterranean, it does not mean that your foods or culture are unhealthy."

Basically, limit the ultra processed foods and enjoy your meals.

Everyone should experience at least one major blackout to understand how much our world depends on electricity, from gas pumps (and now EV ones), to CCs, store transactions, just everything. Street lights, elevators, grocery stores...phones, internet...

Then prepare accordingly.

A little rolling shutter... :)

A lot of history in this venue, some big acts have played here, notorious for Margaret Trudeau partying with the Stones. It went through some ownership changes, was almost shuttered, but was then bought out by a "Dragon" and was reopened. Haven't been to it in a very long time, but way back, it was the first place I went to a date on with my fellow in Toronto.

This was a truly amazing burrito place. It had very limited counter seating, was mostly takeout, and their spin was Chinese Mexican fusion. Anytime we headed into the city and passed Greenwood, we would stop in on our way back home. So good. Sadly, they didn't survive covid. They had been expanding to new locations before the pandemic hit, and, well...who could've planned for a pandemic. I thought the takeout part would've helped them, but, nope.

Shoot the world around you, because as stable as you feel it might be, the world changes. MTV was a fixture in Toronto until it wasn't.

One rainy night.

Moments after this, they both just flew off. The tide had covered their beach and it was either float or fly.

One day on the beach, I heard gulls incessantly screaming. These two. At some point, I thought their beaks were stuck together.

@hannu_ikonen These people. Eliminate all gay and trans people today, more will be born tomorrow. Making them hide doesn't make them not exist. They've been part of us throughout human history.

@br00t4c They should have graduated driving. A 16-yr-old should not be driving a vehicle with 6 teenagers in it on busy highways.

@flowerpot @benroyce " It appears the man fell, and the cassowary attacked him after the fall, Taylor said."

"Class II is the same category as alligators, honey badgers and clouded leopards..."

Would he have entered the enclosure of a leopard?

@flowerpot @benroyce Of course, a Florida man is involved. I wonder if he truly understood the birds he decided to raise.

" The National Zoo's...enclosures were built with doors and gates to separate them from humans who needed to enter.

"At no time, ever, do we ever go in with the cassowary," he said. "Not because they're mean, but because we know how dangerous they could be if they got spooked for any reason.""

@benroyce This is adorable: "Observed behavior at a wildfowl center in Uganda describes what happens when someone bows to their resident shoebill Sushi – and what happens when they don’t. When visitors greet Sushi with a bow, the greeting is returned, and visitors may even be able to touch him. When visitors do not greet him with a bow, the bird moves away, and will not allow visitors to touch or approach him."
