I know I’m getting old because I’m learning new things about internet culture from Frontburner.

CNN headline: Israeli government approves Gaza ceasefire resolution
CNN article screenshot reads: Where things stand • JUST IN: Israel's government has approved the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire and hostage release resolution, according to the prime minister's office. Officials have said the ceasefire will take effect immediately. • US presence: The United States is sending 200 troops to be on the ground to monitor the plan's implementation, a senior US official said. "No US troops are intended to go into Gaza," another official said.
Al Jazeera update reads: Four killed al-Sabra attack, bringing day's death toll to 29: Wafa The Palestinian news agency has reported that four people have been killed in the Israeli attack we've been reporting in the Sabra neighbourhood in Gaza City. That brings the day's death toll in Gaza to 29, according to the news agency, despite the ceasefire breakthroughs.
BREAKING: Israel’s government just approved the first phase of the ceasefire deal and a ceasefire is supposed to go into effect immediately.
Israel killed at least 29 Palestinians today, according to Al Jazeera.
The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.
This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.
The decision to remove speed cameras from Ontario streets is unbelievably irresponsible and flies in the face of clear evidence … even police chiefs are against this populist move. It’s disgraceful.
This is so sad and upsetting. It’s chilling to see anti-trans hysteria growing in Canada and across the world.
“We anticipate our closure will place even greater burdens on hospital emergency departments, paramedics, police, and our neighborhoods, further straining an already overwhelmed system and increasing risks for those who rely on harm reduction services.”
The Somerset West Community Health Centre will close its supervised consumption site at the end of this month, after being forced to by the Ford government. It didn’t have to be this way.
The way parenting books will tie themselves in knots to switch between “he/him” and “she/her” pronouns when “they/them” is RIGHT there… 😒😒😒
I should get bonus points for doing NYT puzzles between 2am-5am while up with the baby, don’t you think?

I am SO EXCITED to take the Otrain to/from home from the airport one of these days!
My pro tip for managing Ottawa’s rough winter weather is to stay inside with your newborn 99% of the time.

Had my first “driver almost turned left into me & my baby in a stroller at a crosswalk” experience this evening and it was terrifying. 🙃
Neptune in Aries will oppose my (plentiful) Libra placements, including my ASC ruler. But Uranus in Gemini will conjoin my ASC early on…
Feels like a lose-lose 😂😅😭
Feeling extremely smug about getting @pembinainstitute.bsky.social on Bluesky last year. 💁🏻♀️
In 2024, leggings are basically just comfy jeans.

It’s always so jarring to watch a film set in New York and then instead see an extremely identifiable part of Toronto.
