Niiiiiice.

I've got pots and saucepans enough, and a couple of pretty good cast-iron skillets, but a proper Le Creuset dutch oven is on my wish list.

*wonders how the math works out in comparison with the Bulk Barn QS*

I'm mourning the loss of your Le Creuset with you - I've never got up the nerve to go that splurgy.

(It's been how long that some segment of the population has been trying to make "cheugy" happen? Just give it up already.)

When God closes a door He opens a window. This drives me NUTS. Terrible roommate. The electric bill is outrageous. There's a bird's nest in the bathroom

Turning a battleship is such a great metaphor but one I feel people don't really understand viscerally so let's do a little mental exercise. We've all seen a semi turning right, yes? We can remember that?

There was never going to be a moment when everyone—everyone in government, everyone in media, everyone in the population—was roused to action at the same time. We're turning a battleship. And Pritzker understands that.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 3h

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.

Johnny Cash, "deeply uncool"?

That's some bullshit right there.

I haven't seen anyone mention Bon Cop Bad Cop yet - and even if they have, it bears repeating!

Source of one of my favourite lines ever:

"Terry - fetch the weaponry!"

Didn't love the third season, but the first two are utter perfection.

As is always correct and in accordance with all the laws of the internet, I just watched Tom Holland's epic Lip Sync Battle performance, and now I am sharing it with all of you so you can do the same.

Check me on this… but the Nobel Prizes are still awarded by *Sweden*, right?

I mean, these days I could maybe be forgiven for missing a geopolitical event, but I like to **think** I would have noticed a change like this.

“I’ll declare war on you if you don’t give me the peace prize” is an incredible bit

See, I'm a pumpkin spice fan, myself - but I recognize it's not everyone's fave. :)

Trying to decide if I want to take a chance on whatever the sundae is, or just go with an affogato.

YOU SHOULD GIVE YOURSELF A PUMPKIN SPICE ICE CREAM BREAK!

(It's definitely what I'm hoping to do after work. 😁)

Do I have it right that the Richmond Yards development has gone to some trouble to address this issue? We drive by it regularly, and it looks promising.

For the record - not against high-rises, although they definitely don't appeal to my aesthetic sense.

A. E. Fisher @bluenoselibrarian.bsky.social · 1d

Yep, that'd be right. :)

Goddammit - making me miss the Expos all over again.

(If I recall correctly, Vlad Sr.'s rookie season was during my second year of library school at McGill.)

"Unprecedented peacemaking record" - unprecedented in its awfulness, possibly.

I think we are going to need help here. From fellow Nova Scotians. From people who want to protect a natural environment provincial park from development. I welcome your help and your voice. This an update to the thread. We are only a small community. These are international billionaires.

I have letter to the editor this week in our local paper.
Our community is, once again, facing a developer who wants to turn public, protected coastal land into a golf course. We've been here before. This time, it's shadier. And God knows it was shady last time. www.invernessoran.ca/top-story/co...
