oh my god this is ridiculous. (and in the length of time it took me to screenshot and then crop this, it switched to 19 Liberal, 17 PC.)
a screenshot of CBC's Newfoundland and Labrador Votes. Four bars on a graph. Red for Liberal, with 18 seats. Blue for Progressive Conservative, also 18 seats. Grey for Independent, with 2 seats. Orange for NDP, also 2 seats.

I do not do well with outlines, but I am going to try, again, instead of going in circles all the time. Because I am going in circles right now and I have no idea what I'm writing.
screenshot of 4thewords editor page, mostly the floating bar for formatting, with the file name of "i-am-attempting-outlines-oh-no". the editor is beige and blue, similar to the Solarized theme.

Wildfire update: !!!!
screenshot from the NL Active Wildfire Dashboard, with a row of information, stating that the Kingston wildfire (1095 ha in size, started on August 3rd, 2025) is now Under Control.

while checking the NL Active Wildfire Dashboard and zooming around to see how far this one was from me, I found this.
A zoom-in of a map of Conception Bay North, Newfoundland and Labrador, and right in the centre is a place called Hill With The Rock On It. No pictures seem to exist of what The Rock On It is, precisely. It just kind of looks like a regular degular hill.

my skyline did the thing.
two posts on Bluesky, one from the unofficial CBC News bot with Defence Minister McGuinty reaffirming that Canada will control its own defences and sovereignty. the second, from George Takei, snarking on Trump's post about Canada paying 61 billion dollars (I can't help but hear this in the Dr. Evil voice, I'm sorry) for the Golden Dome system unless we ~become the cherished 51st state~.

oh, this is the Discworld book that "the Fool jingled miserably across the floor" line comes from! :D
a short quote from Terry Pratchett's Wyrd Sisters (using Calibre E-book Viewer, black text on beige background): And then there were these witches. They haunted him. “Fool!” The Fool, who had been having a quiet doze behind the throne, awoke in terror. “Yes!” “Come hither, Fool.” The Fool jingled miserably across the floor. “Tell me, Fool, does it always rain here?” “Marry, nuncle—”

when you find that research source with the niche information that you've been looking for for weeks (and it's not a dry read to boot!).
Pacha from Emperor's New Groove making a okay sign with his fingers, indicating that everything is perfect. have you ever tried to explain a meme before? surprisingly difficult!

a screenshot of a Globe and Mail post on Bluesky, but underlined in green, the headline "WORKING FILE, DON'T PUBLISH" followed by "Honda EV plans". someone made a booboo.

lol.
screenshot from 338 Canada of the Avalon riding. the Liberals have a hilarious 99% odds of winning for this riding, with the NDP and Conservatives barely even registering in the bar graphs.

there it is. goodbye white zinfandel wine for a while, I guess.
the banner for the NL Liquor Store website, with another banner in big capital letters and in red, "By Tuesday, February 4th, all products produced in the U.S. will be removed from liquor stores and liquor express locations across the province until further notice."
