Today is Canada's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

150,000+ Indigenous children suffered great harm at residential schools in Canada.

Residential schools were established with the purpose of erasing Indigenous cultures, spirituality, and languages.

Students lived in substandard conditions and endured physical, emotional, and sometimes sexual, abuse. One in twenty-five Indigenous children died while attending residential schools.

I'm ready for the week ahead!

I've got my sunglasses, my umbrella, my flip flops, my mittens, my boots, my suntan lotion, my winter coat, my shorts, my raincoat, and my thermal underwear.

Italian incense doesn't smell very good. Do not recommend.

How to Write Good by Frank L. Visco

- Avoid Alliteration. Always.

- Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.

- Avoid cliches like the plague. (They’re old hat.)

- Comparisons are as bad as cliches.

- One should never generalize.

- Don’t be redundant; don’t use more words than necessary; it’s highly superfluous.

- Be more or less specific.

- Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.

- One word sentences? Eliminate.

- Who needs rhetorical questions?

Every national anthem is technically a country song.

Elections matter.

Climate change is hell.

I've been reading about Project 2025.

The American Republicans have basically become Vanilla ISIS.

I fear the Canadian rightwing are not far behind. Looking at Italy, Hungary and elsewhere it is a worrying trend.

Democracy needs protecting more than ever. Let's not fall asleep at the wheel.

Before we changed from paper bills to plastic bills, the Bank of Canada had to beg Canadians to stop "Spocking" our $5 bills.
Good times.

Russian state-sponsored individuals affiliated with propaganda outlet Russia Today leveraged “Meliorator,” an artificial intelligence (AI) enhanced software package which allowed for the creation of authentic appearing fictitious personas to post content on X. The tool also allowed for the management of the persona profiles through an administrator panel called “Brigadir” and the spreading of disinformation through these profiles through a seeding tool called “Taras.”
