Good answer. Pie is amazing. Cherry please !

Catelli @catelli.bsky.social · 16h

My answer to "What's you favourite kind of pie?" is "Whatever pie you have on hand."

That being said, I have a particular soft spot for Apple Crumble pie.

3 things I liked about Diane Keaton:

1. Her work as Kay in The Godfather was so underrated.
2. I remember how gross the press tour was for Something's Gotta Give because she dared to be 60+ and sexy in a movie (meanwhile Nicholson...) She handled it with such class.
3. She embraced aging.

With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Right-Wing Moguls Dominate Social Media. One Legal Fix Can Help Stem the Tide.

Revising Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act would make outlets more accountable for the content they platform.

Can you imagine being a 79 yr old bully who would rather prosecute political enemies like Letitia James than release the Epstein files? He’s a walking menstrual cramp who is pettier than a pre-pubescent girl waiting for her boobs to pop. Color me not surprised.

In today’s fast-moving world, it’s harder than ever to sort 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙩 from 𝙣𝙤𝙞𝙨𝙚.

As someone who wants to be up to date, I know how important it is to pause, check, and think before posting or sharing news content.

A person holds a smartphone while text overlays the image. The heading reads: “PAUSE, VERIFY, AND SHARE responsibly.” Below are four tips in white boxes with red checkmark icons:
Pause before reacting – Headlines and posts are designed to grab attention—read the full article or thread before forming an opinion.
Check the source – Is it reputable? Does it cite evidence? Be wary of sensationalism and anonymous accounts.
Diversify your feed – Follow a range of outlets and voices to get a fuller picture.
Fact-check before sharing – Misinformation spreads fast—be part of the solution.
At the bottom, the name “Mark Gerretsen” appears with a maple leaf icon.
