I’ve been having fun the last couple of days playing with the #BookSearch plugin for #Obsidian and getting some of my reading catalogued.
Currently reading, on hold at the library, future reads and reading history since Jan 2025 in there already.
Fun stuff, and so easy!

From morning after Canada’s second deadliest school shooting on record. Almost as if reputable outlets take time to verify facts, or – just maybe – gender identity isn’t the most pressing issue when six children and two adults have been murdered.

Following yesterday’s tragic shootings in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., I have asked that Canada’s flag atop the Peace Tower, and across all government buildings, be flown at half-mast for the next seven days as our nation mourns with the community.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.
If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

A morning laugh at my own expense. I enabled an integration, but I was in a rush so I quickly slapped in two default notifications for myself, for now, to monitor it via email until I had more time.
I kept getting "integration failed" emails. Gee, I wonder what I did wrong. DOH #Dumbass

1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.
