I finally bought the Pupsicle on sale at a local Petsmart store and my dog has enjoyed licking homemade Greek yogurt and peanut butter treats. I would recommend it to other dog owners.

The more I focus on my health and try to rebuild routines and good habits, the more I realize I did not eat enough food, drink enough water, or get enough sleep for at least two years before I moved back to Toronto.

Kash Patel’s latest firings ousted agents with expertise in Iran The FBI director gutted a specialized, global espionage unit of counterintelligence agents, just days before Operation Epic Fury.

Patel fires FBI Iran experts just in time for war. Counter-terror generally has already been taken apart.

Can't believe this has been 13 years already. The world is unrecognizable today.

β€œProPublica reported that part of the $220 million taxpayer-funded budget for the ad went to a company called Strategy Group, which has worked extensively with Noem in the past. The CEO of Strategy Group is Ben Yoho, the husband of Noem’s former spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin.”

A lot of journalism folks are offering editing advice as Grammarly’s AI β€œexperts” Grammarly's AI-powered "Expert Review" promises "writing feedback by subject-matter experts," and if you write about journalism, there's a good chance that includes you.

This whole thing is such a baffling product decision www.niemanlab.org/2026/03/a-lo...

Not to give Renfer any benefit of doubt but an industry has spent a kajillion dollars to cajole and force LLMs into every conceivable industry and workplace, and institutions like courts and bar associations and law schools need to draw a hard line immediately against this shit

This is a really interesting use of his celebrity, like how Flavor Flav actively supports women's sports

Starting to think there might be a reason that previous administrations tried very hard to avoid war with Iran

Didn't expect to be complimenting the Cato Institute today but this Bier's approach here is a fine way of handling bad faith Congressional questioning in the event any Ivy League college administrators, et al, are reading this.

I definitely purged a lot of stuff in 2015 and 2021. In 2020 I just kept paying rent in NYC for several months despite living in Toronto (Covid-19), I put stuff in storage in 2022 for six months, and also lived in a furnished place for five out of ten years, which meant minimal furniture to move.

Many days I feel bad I am not more productive or focused on things like job applications or freelance pitches or even unpacking and organizing my new apartment. Then I remember what I went through and how my body is still recovering from health stuff, and I try to be nicer to myself.

I have been laid off three (3) times and moved back to Toronto from NYC four (4) times in the last ten years. Every single time, I forget how disorienting and disruptive both of those things are.

I keep thinking about how my robot vacuum cannot handle rugs with tassels or a transition from hardwood to tile floors without mild assistance/supervision and people think a drone can handle picking delicate fruit in varying conditions?

here is how the farm robot thing works - all farm equipment costs roughly infinity dollars for the lowest tier performance, there is no right to repair, industrial farms *might* buy one, it will break almost instantly, it will not get repaired right away it might not get repaired ever

The Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie poster is sold out on the Neon merch store site, which means I will need to ask the theater near my mom's house in the suburbs if I can have theirs to avoid buying a bootleg copy online

An Animated Look at Noguchi's Experimental Playgrounds That Were Never Built "I think of playgrounds as a primer of shapes and functions; simple, mysterious and evocative; thus educational," Isamu Noguchi said.

You should go to the Noguchi’s New York exhibit at the Noguchi Museum, but if you can’t β€” they commissioned animations of what playing on his unbuilt playgrounds would have been like www.thisiscolossal.com/2026/03/isam...
