Bitter irony is not dead.

Screenshot of a Walrus article called Google Search is Dying. What Comes Next is Worse. The story links to a substack article, not the magazine.

Caption on the substack page that explains why a news magazine has to cross-post its own content to Substack: You can't share stories from thewalrus.ca on Facebook or Instagram because of Meta's response to the Online News Act, but you can share this Substack article there. (For Canadian readers).

While you can't see the Pac-Man shaped slice of moon covering the sun in this photo, you CAN see the surreal combination of full shadows (under the trees) and dim lighting. The isn't just under-exposure; it's how it looked to the naked eye. Science is great.

Parc Jarry during the eclipse - there's a brightly shining sun in the sky, full shadows under the trees, but an eerie dim-ness.

Nothing says rock ‘n roll like a $25 fruit and lemonade riff-risher. Hello, Toronto. Right where I left ya.

Said fruit juice and lemonade “riffrisher”.

Facebook is the worst. Here's an example of the suggested reels I see as a woman - all 100% body-shaming bs disguised as body positive empowerment. I have to login periodically for work or family, but it makes me sad, fast. I'd like to wrap my friends (and myself) in a protective hug.

A screenshot of Facebook reels. The first image asks what Sandra Bullock has done to look better. The second asks how long it takes to see results from weight lifting. The third asks why it's easy to be thin in France.

Mother nature putting on a show today. The chirping birds and ribbeting frogs were out in full force. I spy with my little eye a two-legged tadpole.

Gosh, this was the most rock ‘n roll I’ve seen in one place at one time in a long time. And the most women I have ever seen on a single stage in my life. And the only time I’ve seen women over 60 featured. Every minute of this show was a balm, from Party Dozen to L7 to Amyl and the Sniffers.

I’m not sure the cookies are helping, yet I can’t resist. I appreciate local businesses supporting each other, from cookie shops to sports outfits. #GoHabsGo

This is too many sports in one photo. Also, I don't like seeing Infantino in the bleu-blanc-rouge. Your pandering will not work on me, sir. I know sports are (often) corrupt. I just prefer not to be reminded so I can enjoy the sports bit. This brand-clash is not helping.

The scent and colour of these crabapple blooms has taken over my ruelle, and that is the thing that matters most today. Enjoy.

Spring is finally here. Flowers, bright and lovely-smelling, signal to insects and birds that it’s safe to return for the season. They look so fragile, but they are actually brave leaders who light the way for others. I love them for that.

Google picked an odd way to celebrate Earth Day: Check it out! We're shoving more AI into places you didn't want it! If only there was some kind of tool they could have used to verify that my account has AI enabled before sending this update ...

Project Hail Mary was such a fun, heartwarming, science-filled joy to watch. I couldn't figure out how someone would make the book work on film, and I'm so glad they cracked it. Some people in the packed theatre booed the Amazon logo at the start. Huge round of applause at the end.

Man hands his earth hacky-sack to alien in his cocoon. It's a still from the Project Hail Mary movie.

Nine Inch Nails remains one of the best performance spectaculars in live music. Tour after tour is tight, polished, impressive. It's stunning what humans working and playing together can create.

Growing up, adults signalled their perception of a child by buying them a specific Mr. Men/ Little Miss book. I, apparently, was Mr. Topsy Turvy. I have no idea why this flashed across my brain today, but I'm not gonna lie. I STILL want this hat.

Aw, sad news. Brasserie Harricana was one of the first places to welcome us to Montréal. I haven't been much lately because it's always so busy; I took for granted they'd just be there forever. Merci.

Every now and then life tosses you a moment of pure joy. From the play on the ice to the wave that went on and on, tonight was special at Centre Bell. When you dream of experiencing a hockey game as a kid, this was the dream you dreamt. Merci tout le monde. #gohabsgo

Three chapters in and I know this is going to be one of my favourite books of the year. It’s a fascinating look at the way tools, creativity, and commerce shape each other and the effect on culture and history. Notebook, by Roland Allen. So, so good. #booksky
