Screenshot from 1960s Japanese movie Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster. A serious-looking man in a suit is explaining his latest idea. Subtitle reads 'It may sound primitive and unscientific, but through the fairies, we could ask Mothra to help.'
The latest White House thinking on the Strait of Hormuz.
Participated in a Don't Mess with the Don garbage pick up this morning, under the Gardiner east of Cherry. Over 100 bags picked up. I was going to wimp out thinking it would be too cold and wet but my brother (also there) shamed me into doing it.
The social damage being done by legalizing on-line gambling, making it available to essentially everyone 24 hours a day without leaving your home massively outweighs the problems of illegal gambling it was supposed to fix.
The big supposed argument for legalizing gambling (the actual reason was money) was that bringing it out of the shadows would allow gov supervision, less illegality, etc. But the reality of super easy access and virtually no oversight has been an ongoing disaster for society.
One of these days I'm going to have to set up a simulation to try and figure out why the wind loves to leave a little pile of leaves right at the bottom of my steps.
If Matt Berry is hosting the Oscars I might actually watch for once.
Was at the Reference Library tonight for a talk (future of public knowledge, quite good). After I was checking out some of the table displays of books (like New Fiction) and saw a book left face down. Turned it over and it was the bio of Musk with his face on the cover. Left it face down.
When Hackman and DiCapreo are having their showdown, the camera zooms in on each of them while zooming away from everything else like they're jumping into hyperspace.
We overuse salt in this city in a big way. It's all a problem but these big concentrations are a bigger problem for the local area.
The snow at your curbside may have melted, but Toronto has six snow mountains scattered about the GTA, and the amount of salt in them is a real problem.
There are TWO Germanys?!?
I lost the link to it, but I once saw a flowchart to determine the year a world map was made by what countries did / did not appear on it.
It's just amazing to think about how many dump truck loads of fill have gone into the Spit.
I absolutely want this.
The final word of that headline is redundant.
I was on it last weekend, I was surprised at how deep it went.
That didn't take long! The byelection here in University Rosedale was just announced two days ago (April 13) and campaign signs are already going up.
Yeah, when I need to email anyone in local government I mention I'm a homeowner because it'll get more attention. This is not something I'm happy about.
I haven't been to the AKM in ages, maybe next weekend
I've been obsessively tracking the snow melting around my house, and aside from the garden patch itself it's all gone now.
I need to ride it end to end just to do it.
Oh man, DDST. That was a weird summer. Hey it's getting dark, must be about midnight.
And they all hated Skyler for "holding Walt back".
The ATLANTIC seems to have a policy that for every article they run that holds the Trump admin to account, they MUST run an article that absolutely carries water for it.
I still dream of the series ending one day.
Most depressing movie ever.
I need to do a series re-watch of CHUCK now.
I have never understood father's naming sons after themselves. Woman don't do that.
All Tory ever wanted to do was maintain the status quo and go to baseball and basketball games as The Mayor.
