Great news, @markscrivens.bsky.social : Golden, BC has rescinded its earlier vote to secede from the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) wrt timezones. Rather than align with BC, it will follow the larger district in aligning on ABT. A timezone-creating schism has been averted!

Guys. This Ukrainian grandma picked up a Russian drone waiting for its target and took off the optic fiber spool from it, making the drone useless. I'm speechless. She's amazing. God bless her.

The numbers are in! 97 American nurses have moved to #VancouverIsland (31 to #Nanaimo hospital alone) in the last year — with 87 more in the pipeline, thanks in part to the Nanaimo Infusion movement. And that's not counting the 18 doctors, radiology techs, speech pathologists, and others.

You won't be laughing when you realise those were full of sand from her escape tunnel
Somebody at the Grammy Awards with a frankly ludicrous get-up. She's wearing a little black dress and, for reasons known only to herself, accessorised it by trying a king size duvet cover around her waist. Apologies if you thought the alt text would reveal some clever reason for this incredible outfit, but unless she's planning on stealing the entire buffet, including the silverware, I ain't got one. It definitely has pockets though, so not entirely without merit...
