And then, because I wanted a feel of home (where beaches are often smaller, rougher, hidden…) I visited “Secret Beach.” And it felt like the park at the bottom of my street. Just need some mink.

Pathway through trees and leaf litter to the rocky shoreline.

A small stretch of sand bordered by rocks and trees, calm water in a semi-protected bay.

The view from the picnic table at secret beach. Tree boughs lean overhead.

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

On top of the missed extra point on the previous drive. Trevor Lawrence did his long snapper a solid by praising him in the post-game interview for the snap on the winning FG and no mention of the screw up.

this Jaguars-Eagles game was a master class in screwups but the ending? fabulous Eagles take the lead with 8 seconds left, Jaguars get a great kick return, but he's tackled too soon... and Cam Little wins it when the referee says "please put 1 second back on the game clock" #NFL

Naming an Italian film genre "Spaghetti Western" is kinda wild in retrospect, like imagine if we'd called all anime "sushi cartoons" or Bollywood "butter chicken musicals"

Great piece, I had no idea just how awful he is until I read it. Employing Pollievre and Ford ex-staffers, being an aggressive boss, calling women councillors bitches. What a miserable person, massively unsuited for being a councillor, let alone mayor. Vote Olivia!

google translates Gänsehaut as shiver, but the word itself means goose skin we would say goosebumps, but shiver is pretty close

footnote: the brilliant whitewash that has given the White House its name was not applied to cover scorch marks -- it was first used in 1798 to seal the porous Aquia Creek sandstone of which the building was constructed

the name Todmorden is usually associated with the Taylor mill at Pottery Rd, but there was a Todmorden station just east of the Leaside bridge where the CNoR line split off from the CN line

Talked to a low-info voter today. Thinks Chow has ruined the city, doesn’t want her kid walking past drug users, etc. This is what conservatives do. Starve civic society of resources, then vanish into the woodwork and re-emerge to blame those left in charge for not fixing the chaos they created.

French and Indian War, War of Independence, War of 1812 -- all saw significant action on Lake Champlain, which flows north, but some authors will say Burgoyne chased Arnold down the lake to Ticonderoga, when that's upstream
