Freshco arriving in Fairview soon. I know others at that other site made this same point, but the Bowmac sign can’t be removed because it’s “heritage“ but it’s also obviously not being required to be maintained. Like, you know, any other historic site in the world.

Bike racing at Vanier Park. I’m sure a certain resident of Kits Point is hiding in the bushes snapping photos to stir up outrage on the facebook group

New in Fairview: Mural at the Laurel St overpass. My friend immediately quipped it has real Bachelorette vibes. Nevertheless I accept this rose.

According to Wikipedia the yellow triangle of the Bosnian flag is an approximation of the geographic shape of the country as well as the 3 points symbolizing the 3 main ethnic groups. But as a former graphic designer I just want to rip the right blue bar off

You can build bunkers for fighter jets but not big aircraft, which the last few years have shown are highly vulnerable to drones on the tarmac

Soldiers of a Great House(?) that Stilgar and the Fremen make short work of. Cool costume design. Ashigaru-esque.
Screenshot from the Dune 3 teaser trailer showing unidentified soldiers in costumes that resemble medieval Japanese Ashigaru foot soldiers.

This appears to be the first appearance of a Guild Navigator in this incarnation of Dune. In which case...cool.
Screenshot from the Dune 3 teaser trailer of a possible Guild Navigator. It resembles a floating Ancient Egyptian sarcophagus.

It's no big insight that D. Todd's anti-housing op-eds are actually in the service of his goal of having fewer brown people immigrating into Canada but, every once in a while, he just drops the pretense...
