Whenever I pass a dog on a walk, I let it sniff my hand and say hello. Though I like dogs, I'm also doing a check-in like the original Terminator film to prove I'm a human, not a flesh covered robot. If you're with me and don't let the dog sniff you, I'll be judging/suspicious.

For over 130 years, Canadians either loved or hated Cherry Blossoms.
Considered a staple of the Christmas season, these candies were often found in stockings.
In January 2025, it was announced Cherry Blossoms were being discontinued.
This is their history.

During his life, he sired over 200,000 cows in dozens of countries.
He was also one of the first animals cloned for commercial purposes and today has 3.5 million descendants.
This is his story.

“Surveillance pricing,” or as it’s sometimes called, “personalized pricing,” is another way for corporations to pull one over on you.

A new report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37 billion in potential legal liability from 11 federal agencies on inauguration day.
Many are now on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped their investigations into Musk's corporations.
"Conflict of interest" is an understatement.

Let's make this clear:
Just because we demand that our justice system continue to use DUE PROCESS does not mean that we support gangs or illegal activity.
But snatching people off the street and disappearing them without due process crosses the fucking line.
