I have received news of a perfectly named cafe located on the waterfront of Nova Scotia's capital, if you know what I mean

"Broken Man cafe" sign on a big plate glass window, through which one can see cafe tables and chairs and backs of people's heads. In the distance, a sign indicates that this is Pier 22 on the Halifax waterfront

Huh! I went looking for a DTC service that does PGX testing yet again and discovered that 23andMe has been bought out of bankruptcy by its original founder and converted to a medical research nonprofit, which means I might actually be comfortable recommending them again

The Little Book of Whales is an attractive, accessible overview of whale biology, diversity, and cultural significance, aimed primarily at natural history enthusiasts. It works best as a 'coffee table science' book, offering a broad introduction supported by strong visuals.

It just can’t be good for writers or readers if naming conventions and listings of tropes makes the books feel alike before even reading the description! (I’m currently on a litrpg tear which seems particularly prone to this)

Loredena Frisealach @loredena.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I have mixed feelings about the trend towards insanely long titles and the listing of tropes. I don’t look for specific tropes but there are some I’ve learned I generally dislike, so it serves as a warning. But it also feels generic, like it’s just going to be yet another x and that seems bad.

one common thread (among the horrifying many) between the numerous ICE shootings/murders is that no first aid was administered to the victim. armed combatants of the government shot to kill, and if they didn’t kill right away, they gave time for it to happen anyway. it is absolutely grotesque.

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.
