A strip mall at Terry Fox Drive and March Road in the tech epicenter of Ottawa's Kanata suburb. (Hasselblad SWC, Zeiss 38mm f4.5 Biogon, Kodak TriX)

A Bell payphone kiosk mounted on the wall of a brick retail building with a paver sidewalk. There are two prominent stem punk style lamps above it and a small pictograph sign for the phone as well as a no vaping or smoking sign. The entrance to the store has an awning as does its shop window. A white security grill is drawn behind the window,

“It’s cold outside where I live today, therefore climate change doesn’t exist” is like saying “I had breakfast this morning, therefore hunger doesn’t exist”

2m Temperature refers to air temperature at 2 meters above the surface. 2m Temperature Anomaly refers to the departure of the current day's forecast temperature from a long-term mean for the same day of the year. The anomalies here are calculated from a 1979–2000 climatology from the NCEP Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR). This 22-year baseline, which is used instead a 30-year 1991–2020 climate normal, represents the early part of the CFSR record prior to significant warming observed across the Arctic since the early 2000s. Users are encouraged to learn more about reanalysis — approach, strengths, limitations, and product comparisons — from the NCAR Climate Data Guide. Additional information about reanalysis can be found at Advancing Reanalysis.

My gosh, I thought this had been abandoned a while ago! From my limited experience with VR, I love it but the immersion is incredibly intense. One hour and I’m mentally exhausted! This can’t be a default way to interact with the world.

Boxing Day means you should ignore the ads blaring mediocre sales, and instead stay at home in your jammies reading and eating vast quantities of cheese while lightly day drinking. My annual rant (from the Sault, where by bylaw all the stores are closed): www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

theglobeandmail.com

Get ready for those hot Boxing Day deals – and do absolutely nothing

You could hunt for deals and shop ‘til you drop, or you could stay home and make it an improved version of Christmas with none of its obligations or pressures

This phone in Barry's Bay, Ontario is on the highway where the payphone madness began over four years ago. I've been past this grocery store many times since but somehow only spotted the phone in August. A friendly watchman was proud of it (Chamonix57N1, Schneider 180mmf5.6 APO Symmar, Kodak TXP320)

A night photo of a wall mounted payphone to the right of a store entrance. A sign above it read: Welcome to Yuill's Valu-Mart. Underneath are a tidy trash bin and a recycling bin. Two empty plastic newspaper boxes for Bancroft This Week and a bagged ice freezer.

Better designed streets, complemented by better alternatives to driving, are absolutely a better way to reduce speeding and dangerous driving, but the thing is that *we have to actually build them.* Speed cameras are the relatively cheap response to realizing we already screwed up.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

STEREOGUM: People my age, we talk about how we were lucky that we didn’t have social media growing up, and there’s no record of all the dumb shit we said and did. You didn’t have social media, but everything you said and did in those years is on record, and you’ve got to live with it now. That’s tough.

VIOLENT J: And the amount of gay Juggalos out there is really surprising. I think about them doing their research and getting the old records, getting excited about it, and getting their hearts broke or something, you know? I tell my daughter, “For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.” There’s no excuse. I was going with the flow, and that’s the very thing we preach against — being a sheep. And that’s what I was doing.

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

It's Ada Lovelace Day, so worth noting that the era during which coders were mainly women (starting with her machine-language explication of the Bernoulli sequence in 1843) lasted about 130 years whereas the male-dominated period has lasted less than half that long
