#Brewing was such an ordinary part of life in ancient #Egypt that texts spelling out the procedure have not yet been discovered. Models deposited in tombs, such as these at the Royal Ontario Museum from the tomb of Mentuhotep II at the end of the 3rd millennium BCE, are some of our best evidence.

In honour of my pathologist father Kim Solez's move to Professor Emeritus at @ualberta.bsky.social, I presented him with two silly little list poems, one of which I made into a meme. Here I am caught in the act + the meme. I hope you, too, find it amusing.

This is very cool. I speculated that unusual sounds in alpine languages may be due to the retrievability of sounds in that acoustic environment, and this language is more evidence of the same.

Wanting a more carotenoid administration, #Trump, who contains only 5000% of the daily dose of beta-carotine for an adult human, has appointed Vice President D.J. Lance to manage the construction & decoration of the White House Ballroom, where he will emit red-yellow light equal to the sun #uspoli

What I learn from this amazing story is that Tolkien took the name for his fantasy world from the oldest English poem, Caedmon's Hymn, which mentions ða. middū. geard., "the Middle Earth."

This story is such a delight! Global News did a TV hit about how the thieves were "wieners," and the store is offering forced meat as a reward. Canada has the best heists: maple syrup, gourmet cheese, and now sausage! #Canada #crime #sausage

This here is the Boreal Forest. Lac La Biche lurks behind my left shoulder. We elected a town councillor who will work this summer on cleaning up the blue-green algae problem in the lake. My friend is working on a business case for sucking the algae out of the lake and using it as fertilizer. 3/3

I advise myself that these things do, in their way, work against those who would seek to make a parody of our rights, our institutions, and decency itself. I advise myself that my life and work is a living, ongoing protest against bootlickers, conformists, Bible-thumpers and finger-waggers. 2/3

There is much to oppose and work against these days. I am refocusing on what feels like positive action--creative production, moving unfinished projects forward. 1/3

Think about this arrangement of sentences. "I was not Jeffrey Epstein's victim. Jeffrey Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump." What do you think is their logical relationship? Should there be a colon rather than a period after "victim?"

My wife said: "I want to read some news, but not about Trump or Iran." It truly is a challenge to find. This is the best I could do.
