I believe that is called "Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission" . Amazing how there just never seems to be a reckoning or even ounce of accountability for this president or his administration.

Outside of Canada, many assume that the entire country uses bagged milk.
The truth is, only part of Canada have bagged milk in the fridge.
But why? Well, it comes down when Canada made the transition to the metric system.
This is the story!

🧡 1/9
A supermarket aisle displaying various dairy products, including bags of milk and cartons of cream, with brands such as "Sealtest" and "Lactantia" prominently featured. The products are arranged on shelves, with some bags of milk in blue and red packaging in the foreground and various milk and cream cartons in the background.

Looks like the UCP is going ahead with their "Jordan Peterson" law...

Because people shouldn't be reported to their professional colleges for comments made unrelated to their work.

(Peterson's comments were determined to be related but whatevs)

Happy 6th Birthday to our own personal Red Tornado-Rufus! If you'd like to celebrate with us he suggests: Walkies, throw tennis ball 150 times, play keep away with a stuffie, and make a $6 donation to A Little Extra. alittleextrafund.org
A birthday card for Rufus, a red golden retriever. The card says Happy 6th Birthday Rufus Russo Rojas, there are two pictures of him, one sitting on the bed with his mouth open and tongue out and his eyes half closed in bliss, and the other, a close up of his nose, sleeping off his second to last heartworm treatment on the floor of the animal hospital. Rufus was adopted from the municipal shelter here in VA with kennel cough and heartworm disease and it was easy for us to treat because of my employment at the animal hospital and the Golden Ratio Foundation. But not everyone is that lucky to have a vet discount and friends who subsidize treatment! A Little Extra Foundation exists to help pets and their people pay for animal health care, as well as people mutual aid (so pets and people can stay together.) 100 $6 donations would help cover the cost of several low-cost spay neuters or vaccine clinics, diagnostic testing for 2 sick pets, a portion of the cost of emergency surgery, or an infected tooth removal, or the "walk in the door and get looked at / triaged" for an emergency trip to the pet ER. Donations over $66 get a pet poem, donations over $96 get a very very poorly drawn pet and you know how poorly I draw those pets. Just email me a picture/name of your pet: alittleextrafun@gmail.com for poems and pics or post on bluesky and tag me so I see it! Thanks. Rufus appreciates whatever you want to do to celebrate him!
