Last Notes npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Nothing to see here, just another day in the life of history's most offensive US ambassador to Canada. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Damn if LibreOffice didn't just open this WordPerfect file from 1993 with the 8.3 filename without even blinking. Impressive. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Anecdotally I think the difference between people who prefer ST or DST comes down to whether they're 'morning people' or not. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ It's funny how Hungary's Tisza Party is described as 'right-of-centre' in terms of positioning, yet 98% of their membership believes in a full-funded public healthcare system (including barring public money going to private services), 96% believe the rich need to be taxed more and 81% believe the poor should be taxed less. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ The return of winter temperatures is such a downer, even the moon stayed inside. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ You have captured my vibe perfectly for today. Thank you. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Everything in tech needs to be viewed through a mass public surveillance lens. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ So he considers a Canadian tour honouring Charlie Kirk to be part of his job description? People voted for an MP and instead got a Turning Point USA spokesperson? Who's paying his salary again? npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I find the fact that Carney is not a run-of-the-mill leg-up politician to be a challenge. I never know what opinion to have about him - a big bag of pros and cons. On one hand, he answers questions, which is refreshing. On the other he often leaves specifics unspoken so you end up having to speculate what it all means. I've basically given up trying to understand him through an ideological lens and have been taking the approach of addressing him point-by-point. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ You have to toe the line down there just to survive any political appointment. I'm sure that's what Goebbels had to deal with also. An entire administration of tacos. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Scott Bessent says Carney has to stop virtue signalling. I don't think he knows what that phrase means. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Exactly. Adherence to rules based on an implied presupposition. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ And yet it's so rare to find anybody in the media willing to question why Israel thinks it has any right to dictate who or what goes or out of Palestine. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Policy. "Fuuuuck offf" seems to be the most appropriate response to this manufactured garbage. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Don't you just love how they fabricate a hypothetical and then turn themselves into martyrs over it? Nobody's taking their damn book of magic away just because they want to ban anything they feel is 'too woke'. Hypocrites. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Trying to place the location. Assuming Ottawa. Queen Street? npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Chanting: "Pee - Air! Pee - Air! Pee - Air! Pee - Air!" npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Guys in the white cowboys hats there laughing and nodding thinking he's made a point. π npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Ohhhhhh, it's going to be one of THOSE speeches. Gotcha. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Poilievre live, baby. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Not sure what brought that person with Georgia plates to town but maybe next time you visit Ottawa in January it would be a good idea to leave the car at home? Driving in snow conditions clearly isn't your thing. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Very nice. *Excellent* technique. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Well, we kind of knew that was a lie at the time, though. They were here at the behest of the oil industry. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Oh yeah, I made this handy chart for the weirdos running the farm south of the border. And, and if I make something then, dammit, I'm sharing it and you can all have it. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Gotta laugh at Microsoft making their OS all 'agentic' but then AI making RAM, and thus high-end PCs, expensive. Nobody asked for this crap. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Mastodon needs a 'super boost' function. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ The icing on the cake. There's also distribution of content that violates our hate speech laws and allow harassment under the banner of 'free speech'. I was annoyed by that aspect long before AI or Elon were even a thing - and not just Twitter, but all of the walled gardens. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I dunno if I'd call it that. Our government had blunt words about the illegal invasion of Iraq, after all. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Libs are taking the Palestine approach - they will die on their vaguely-worded noncommittal hill. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Is it standards? I'm asking, I don't know one way or the other. I know my daughter's dream of some-day owning a Japanese K-Truck EV are being dashed by safety standards. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ There's a bunch of EU cars I wouldn't mind. Had my eye on the Renault 5, for example. Nope, not here, must have closed markets - have a monster truck instead! npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ If not lower tariffs on foreign EVs, at least a "war-effort" level investment to kickstart a domestic EV sector. Like what Japan did and, later, South Korea. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Perhaps this is an admission that, after decades of 'streamlining operations and focusing on core competencies', nobody in government even knows how government works anymore. Send in the looters and profiteers to tell them how to do it, each armed with a vision on how they are uniquely positioned to solve any issue. Let's discuss it more over golf. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I wonder if it glows if you touch it? npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ When you think about it, it's really the only reason for these publicly-published polls to exist. If you're voting for policy and personal preferences, what does it matter how others are intending to vote? npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Love your work, Aure. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ "one of our key allies?" Not arguing about the injustice of starting an unprovoked war with Venezuela or it's use as a weapon of mass distraction, but c'mon - how many times has the US attempted to overthrow their government now through black op funding of mercenary groups and far-right political figures? By generating narratives of stolen elections and liberation, a stale play out of their own Jan6 playbook."The "left stole the election" cry subsequently used by a half-dozen far-right losers in other countries. This has been going on for decades, ever since Chavez dared to attempt to lift the country up from being a foreign-controlled petro puppet state. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Lol, TF is a 'streaming' ethernet cable? Can I still read my email on this? npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I think one thing that's unspoken here is that massive mobilizations of investment money like what we're seeing in AI could be applied to any activity. Saying things like: npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Another play right out of the U.S.A. to bend media. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ US oil interests say what? npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I'll treat this as rhetorical, since I know you and the rest of us here know damn well why they choose the words they use. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ When in Cuba it's not uncommon to see billboards, posters, broadcasts talking about the revolution. Sure, back in 1953, Cuba was intolerable and Batista a puppet of foreign colonial power for whom no rope could be made short enough, but you're left wondering: When is the right time to just move on? At some point you have to focus on building an identity based on your own vision rather than the traumas inflicted by your oppressor. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ It's bad enough when people skirt regulation in the name of profit *disrupt* the hotel and taxi industries, ultimately making them less safe, but if there is one industry that should be tightly regulated, it's nuclear. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Just saw all your wonderful photos from last night, Mike. Very nice. I also boosted your Bare Fax photo because I'm a Carleton alumni and it's a bit of a running joke π npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ "How smart, engaged Ottawa locals learn about local news, events, restaurants and civic issues." npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ What the heck? How'd I miss this? My daughter saw it promoed on her Tiktok feed 15 minutes after it had already started. Exactly the kind of weirdness I'd want to be part of. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I can't recall anybody looking into Koch and whether they are Russian assets. Putin and oil industry propaganda is so strikingly similar. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ The whole country, pretty much, experiencing drought. We knew that, though - that's why everything's on fire all that time. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ RE: https://infosec.exchange/@adorkable/115353723884011231 npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ It's like a horror that never ends. Just go away! npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I posted previously about the versatility of what I call the *Hi-tech* *Multi-tool* aka a paperclip bent into a U shape. But I had forgotten one of it's applications. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Would that mean I'd have to cancel my plans to move to coal? npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Aren't we all π npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ At least from the Firefox browser on my Android, there's a 'continue on web' button subdued in the top corner. Hope this helps. It's an interesting take on what happened. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Okay, so my older daughter was working at the parade this year and while this still isn't official, she's saying that the parade shutdown was likely orchestrated. The article I posted backs this up a bit when you read that Q4P *asked* the Pride grand marshal to stop the parade it was agreed. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Chaos at the Pride parade today in Ottawa. Honestly, I'm still trying to figure it all out. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ The Government of Canada stores data in the cloud, not to mention being all in with M365 services (Teams, Exchange, etc) and various other 3rd party cloud-based SaaS offerings. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Two words: Shawinigan handshake. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I'd guess a dancer, or perhaps basketball. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Who's the little guy there? A wasp? Dragonfly? Hard to get a sense of the scale of it. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ You made art of your neighbour's broken chimney! This is awesome! npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ π And I love the beeez! Even though one jerk bumble stung me when I was a kid. It probably had its reasons. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Oh hey @npub1jayβ¦80k8 I saw somebody posting beeeez just now and realised I forgot to mention the beeeez balm is balming and the bumbles are here! npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I wonder who's funding this cross-country MAGA musical tour? The concerts are on public land, tickets are free and you just know the dude's going to be there spewing his nonsense to the crowds. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I could see that. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Sorry, just joking around, reflecting back on my own days at university. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I found myself obsessing over the flag in the window. Not a national flag, it's the flag of Queens University. This in Kingston? Above a nightclub seems like an ideal student residence. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Good ol' CBC, always expressing concern on behalf of the landlords. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Oh, one look at that and I can bet the beeeeez love it. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Just missing "snowfall" then we'd have the full set! π npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ And just like that... it's nighttime. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Been a while since I looked into them from a technical perspective, but back when I was a customer I used to shake my head at how little Internet Rogers did. They supplied the cable network, but everything else was contracted out, usually to some US company. All the early Rogers@Home stuff was basically just Yahoo over cable. And everything got routed through the US. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I love heat. It's nice having AC in the house, but I find I miss the connection to the real world. It feels like missing summer. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Dammit, guess I won't be setting up my backyard office again today. π npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Same here, I'm concerned as well, at least pollinator-wise. Plenty of other bugs including some I haven't seen for a while - like I saw a mantis yesterday. Waaaaay too many ladybugs. Dragonflies, yes. Flies of various types, check. Those bloody mosquitos and deer flies. Just no bees - bumble or otherwise. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ They didn't push it via the mobile network? npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I was thinking of Texas precisely while writing that. Simply shameful. π npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Just ask those people if they'd prefer it the other way around. It seems some people just demand absolute certainty about very uncertain things. Personally, I'll take the false positives over the false negatives every time. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I don't know if you would enjoy it, honestly, I suppose that's my point. There's no right way. How we listen to music is as individual as which foods we enjoy eating. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Never met anybody who doesn't like music, but it's interesting how everybody has their own way to enjoy it - there's no right way, of course. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I'm with you Alison. Focusing on bias rather than the argument itself fosters blind tribalism. And CBC is an excellent example - their journalism is typically pretty balanced*<sup>,</sup> but their opinion pages are all over the place, bias wise.*<sup>Certain</sup> npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ And no butterflies yet! npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I was noticing the same on the weekend. Plenty of cute little wasps and we've got a couple dragonflies I've seen, but not a single bee - honey or bumble. It's very odd, there's usually so many of the bumbles around. I hope they're okay and just found a better yard. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I noticed that too. People know they need to vote 'strategically' because of FPTP, but they don't know how to do that! npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ If you close your eyes, you can almost imagine the CPC had won the election. But there's one small consolation, I told myself on election night: At least with the Liberals the streets are still ours. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Yikes, guess who was looking in the 2021 column by accident? Any guesses? You'd think I would have clued in to the double-digit beside 'NDP' but no. π npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ You got me curious. At least at the party level NDP, Greens, Bloc all want action do they not? That's 60 seats if members vote along party lines. Still incredibly sad that Liberals are not taking this more seriously. CPC you kind of expect it. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Most of Ontario is lit up on Environment Canada's website. It's all "how not to die in the heat" and "here's where the wildfires are" and "how not to die from wildfire smoke" and "severe weathers alerts." npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ I wonder if somebody like Luigi Mangione could use that line of defense - that Brian Thompson had pre-existing gunshot wounds - or if this is an argument only a cop can get away with? npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ You missed the part where the judge seemed unable to determine if the internal hemorrhaging that killed the victim was the result of being beaten. I mean, he could have been suffering from massive internal bleeding as a preexisting condition, yes? npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Speaking of photography, I guess this is the new normal is it? Everything smelling like a campfire and the sun barely getting through the yellow ooze in the air? Toronto was gross but Ottawa was far worse today - the attached photo was taken when I got home. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Am I alone in NOT wanting Canada to have anything to do with their silly Golden Dome program? npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Did they at least take the flowers with them? Like @npub1jayβ¦80k8 suggested, it just seems worse if the flowers are just rotting on the ground. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ What's funny here is that's the only reason we have tulips in the front - the squirrels planted them all! npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Some more spring stuff to make up for the loss of the tulips in our front yard. Somebody came along and snipped all the flowers off - I get along well with all my neighbours, but I suspect it was the attic insulation guy yesterday who I got snippy with when he didn't take a polite no for an answer. Pretty much impossible to prove that, though. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ And for people of my age group, promoting your candidate with Stephan Harper is like "WHAT THE ACTUAL F!!" npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ StΓ©phanie's gonna be so rich, damn I'm jealous. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ Beautiful photos! The rabbits were hungry during the winter and stripped a lot of bark off our young fruit trees and the magnolia bush - I wrapped them but they ate the wrapping too, so yeah. npub1vwl44eg3uglhw67fgpz6t3xy5g53s69v42ey62e2cerfve0fqf4q9nxwcn Zazzoo π¨π¦ A lot of us would die, just from their public health policies.
