It’s been over 7 months since we last saw this male lemon shark w/ a broken jaw and a fishhook gash. It’s good to see the wound has healed and it looks otherwise healthy… despite having a broken jaw that can no longer retract, exposing his mouth full of sharp teeth #scarface #jaws #coralcitycamera

Found this episode (about Britain) more helpful than anything so far to think abt this wave of nationalism in Canada and the contradictions/possibilities/inevitabilities of a left nationalism. where can I get my 3+ hours of listening on the waffle??

A 2025 goal was to read 100 books. I got very close (96) and was happy that I read consistently. Though I wish I had read less genre fiction, less contemporary books with buzz (61 were released in 2025 + 2024), and was over my theory hangover (at generous count I managed 4).

That's a step increase in employment of 20-30% for building trades employment. Sean Strickland from @cdntrades.bsky.social sums it up perfectly: "Canada’s transition to a cleaner economy represents one of the most significant job creation opportunities in our country’s history." #canlab /4
