But why would child sexual abuse do that to him? Answer me that, NY Times!

How often, when you're flying it, do you point it at something and make machine gun noises with your mouth?

"combined arms" is another way of saying "rock paper scissors" and if don't understand the latter, stay away from defense punditry.

Here in British Columbia, we have a major river, the Fraser, that empties into the Pacific. Now and then, body parts show up on the shores of Vancouver from upstream. The balance of left feet to right feet is heavily tilted towards left feet. 😖

Flash the placard showing texts, but not long enough to read it, leaving the impression they've got a smoking gun. Unless Smith does exactly what he did, with Klobucher's help (i.e., calmly identify the error), he looks like he was caught on camera getting busted.

When you're Woody Harrelson, you get to add a number of such scenes as a contract stipulation. Knowing Woody, he probably does it understanding the pain and confusion it will cause.

Counterpoint: "Challenge accepted!"

Everyone jokes how the Nebula looks like a sex toy, but I'm certain you've all sat around at Worldcon and discussed which winners have attempted it, and I weep that I will never be privy to those discussions.

There are worse retirement occupations than "sends a lot of unsolicited advice to the Pope."

If you can talk the Pope into incommunicating SSPX, we might get the healing trend going in the right direction.

Great news, @markscrivens.bsky.social : Golden, BC has rescinded its earlier vote to secede from the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) wrt timezones.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!

I think you've got a winning tourism slogan there

A landscape in Iceland with a deep blue sky, white clouds, pointy mountain, light green meadows, a lake, and some solitary buildings with the caption "everywhere in Iceland feels like you're being driven into the countryside to be murdered"

Perfect, right down to Cooper for the font.

Justin @fatbird.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I've been there, too! You're absolutely right!

Nono, that's normal. The airport is, like, a long distance from the actual city. And everywhere in Iceland feels like you're being driven into the countryside to be murdered. But in daylight you'll see a lot of very sexy emo ponies.

I've lit the Uggi lamp above, but if anyone knows any other Reykjavikians...

@hildur.bsky.social Do you have room to board some people overnight? Uggi would love the attention.

In his heart of hearts, Clancy believed that conservatives were the smarter, more common sensical group. MAGA would have been a decade of rubbing his nose in RFKjr's ass-crack.

I can't decide if Clancy would have wanted to live this long. No one would scream louder that this is all so fucking stupid, and if he made it to the Iran war he'd probably stroke out. OTOH, he'd find endless interviews. He'd have been the premier never-trumper.

What your map leaves out is that, in BC, while the GMT offset might by uniform, the three letter abbreviation will still be different. Vancouver will have PCT; Fort Nelson will keep MST. Meanwhile, Alberta will uniformly be labelled ABT, which is MDT, which is what will be used in the Kootenays.

040

In conclusion, <gunshot>.

it means that BC on PCT and Fort Nelson on year-round MST will have matching clocks all year, but different abbreviations. BTW, MST is becoming a BC only thing because Alberta is moving to ABT, which is MDT year round (copying BC). Cranbrook will still observe MDT; the Peace will not.

I can't tell you how thoroughly I've read that doc. The root of the insanity comes from BC's allowing municipalities to choose their own timezones, overriding the provincial timezone. And because that choice is legislative, not technical...

Justin @fatbird.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I'm literally the guy explaining how this all works to the BC Gov ministry of transport. The maintainers of the timezone database (both of them!) call out the mayor of Elkhorn, BC in the comments for being indecisive.

As my wife, a retired teacher, would put it: "every problem a child has outside the classroom shows up in the classroom as a barrier to learning".

In bookbinding, ACE bandages are used to apply pressure on a rounded spine that's been glued, because they conform to the curve. I was asked to leave my class because I kept saying "ooooh yes, we like that, don't we, bookie?"

Imagine sitting for your polygraph, the interviewer waiting for an answer, and you're thinking "does it count as bestiality if I was roleplaying that it was?"

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.

This seems like a joke but there actually is a community of home fusion reactor hobbyists. It's not that difficult to do, apparently, though it's impossible to achieve positive energy generation. But it's a real hobby.
