Outside with the chickens and ash started falling in North Saanich, from the Mount Jack wildfire in Sooke. It doubled in size to 100 hectares in less than four hours today and is one of only four wildfires in BC that are currently labelled "out of control". vicnews.com/2026/09/22/m...

I'm not sure what is more problematic: a chatbot hallucinated false intelligence about nuclear weapon cargo that came close to causing a US attack on a Chinese ship or the fact that the US Intelligence community is using AI to do their thinking for them, after purging so many its professionals.

Happy White House Burning Eve, when patriotic Canadians commemorate the burning of the White House on August 24th of 1814. Make sure to hang your stockings on the hearth tonight for Major General Robert Ross to come down the chimney in his red coat to fill them with ammunition and rations.

In the ancient civilizations of the Mediterranean, young guys spent a lot of time passionately arguing about how many rowers Odysseus had on board during the Odyssey. Thankfully, we're nothing like that today...

Ireland should be ashamed of supporting the Russian invasion of Ukraine. You'd think a people being oppressed by their aggressive neighbour would mean something in Ireland.

Figured out what the chickens were so excited about yesterday. Raccoon had kits in the outside nesting box and had to be told to find a new home. I put the kits in an ice cream pail and showed their mom. Mom carried them 1 by 1 to their new den. 3 in picture (ear poking up between siblings).

Unpopular opinion: unless you carried a dog out of a burning building or dove into a surging river to bring a dog to shore it's not a rescue dog. You adopted a dog and let's face it, the dog is probably doing a lot of the work in this relationship.

Sonny Rollins took a 2+ year break from fame, spending his time doing solo saxophone sessions on Manhattan's Willamsburg Bridge, because he had nowhere else to play. His 1962 return album "The Bridge" brought that experience to the studio. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vmc1... #AllThatJazz #musicchallenge

A funny thing happened when they released the Epstein Files. The thousand law enforcement agents brought in to redact everything about the Toddler in Chief, to help out a criminal instead of doing actual law enforcement was likely a boon for a lot of criminals outside the White House too.

People saying it's disrespectful to put up Christmas trees before Remembrance Day are the same people that say that Daylight Saving Time is because of the farmers. People shouldn't rope others into their arguments who have nothing to do with it. Eating chocolate before Easter also not disrespectful.
