"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Trump gave Natalie Harp $45000 for work above and beyond the call of booty. Sounds like below minimum wage.

The border goes through the middle of the lake. A Canadian compromise might call our half by the original indigenous name, and the other half after Amerigo Vespucci, who never visited North America, but which the president wants to make Great Again (as in the 15th C).

From the Guardian: Alice Roberts: ‘By the time I’d finished Richard Dawkins I’d left faith behind’ Me: By the time I finished Dawkins I realized he understood neither the nature of languages, nor the languages of nature. Sloppy science, sloppy logic, lack of self-awareness.

Apparently Miriam is my 5th cousin 🙃. Not closely enough to be married 🤫. We once read together in Whitehorse (Yukon) and an interviewer asked if we were related, married..??? I looked at Miriam and said, if we get a divorce, are we still brother & sister?

Maybe the US, in some far future, will realize that for many countries what you call far left socialist is actually middle-of-the-road common sense liberal.

In Australia, a three-year-old beagle was taken to the emergency room after eating 2.4 pounds of gummy worms and showing “no regrets,” according to a nurse.

When I worked in Indonesia in the 80s, it was illegal to bring fresh durian on to public buses. A friend, who loved durian, said it was like eating ice cream in an outhouse.

I'm sure that Louise Arbour is the right Governor General for this time, as Mary Simon was before her. On the other hand, Mary Simon gave me a hug (off camera) when I was appointed an Officer in the Order of Canada, which I am pretty sure Arbour would not deign to do. Just sayin’.

Where can I find information on anabaptist-Friesians who joined the 1534-35 rebellion in Muenster & left for the British Isles before it was destroyed, or who went directly to Britain, avoiding Muenster altogether?

It’s mouse poop, folks. Mice go room to room, visiting people. People could transmit it if they have mouse poop on their clothes, for instance, by cleaning out mouse traps.

@ramonanegron.bsky.social When I’m asked for a land acknowledgment I say my Frisian ancestors used/& were used by various governments to settle on & "pacify" traditional lands in northern Europe, the Russian Empire, the British Commonwealth & my Home on Native Land.

Meanwhile, away from the headlines, from the journal Nature Africa “She returned home to find a baboon in her kitchen with her dog. The two were sitting calmly, the baboon feeding fruit to her pet.”

Some say they’re proud to be Canadians. I’m not proud, just happy, and with that happiness comes responsibility. I just need to figure out what that responsibility is.

You don’t have to be friends to have sex. Some people do it professionally.

I high school, never having gotten to first base, I gave up the sport. Now it’s curling, but I am unable to find any sex analogies in sweeping and hitting rocks or blanking ends.
