I am so sorry to hear this. It was a great show. Sad news. And yet... Glad to hear you have something new in the works!

It was when the camera panned to him. The whole place booed. They did not boo the athletes. As is right and proper.

There was booing. Your media edited it out, apparently. We heard it in Canada. I think some folks have posted raw sound online on a few places.

Matryoshka. Nesting dolls. And yes.

So wrong and so unacceptable.

Utterly discouraging. I resisted in-person assignments to try to keep to principles I have held dear and worked for universal design. The current cohort of undergraduates will be lost and more will follow until we sort out what can be done, preferably without the AI hype from our unis. I despair

My mother, who had polio and lived her whole life with what it did to her body, cried when I could get the vaccine. In a place of science magic, I will never ever get polio. I am sure the dozens of people who died and those forever disabled when she contracted wanted the same

Let us not forget a long anti-Zionist history the came before us. My family can before the Pale. They were working class people before the Shoah. They chose not to be a part of a state. We exist out here in the diaspora. For lots of reasons. We have been told we are boot Jewish enough, but we know.

Column | The β€˜solar’ in these solar roofs is invisible. Are they worth the price? Solar roof tiles use the same basic technology as solar panels but are designed to be integrated into roofs and mimic traditional roofing materials.

So when might a solar roof make sense for you? Here’s how to know what to put over your head.

Toast crumbs on a small white plate.

Sorry. Your request came just after I finished it. 2 eggs on dark buttered toast with a bit of yolk running. It was delicious.

Mine had basketball playing waitress who is also a professor. For reasons of (ahem) coordination, I am really glad there was that academic third option.

I hate Teams so much. I find Zoom okay, but my brain really gets exhausted with the set up of windows on Teams and movement between to track people who are talking. I hate it. Condolences and happy napping.

I think this was part of the plan. No deal without Indigenous peoples. This is not a pipeline deal. But it is the end of a pipeline complaint that enforces the policy, rules, and law. Could he do that for healthcare, too? I would love to see that.

Do Americans who live near or far from this plant understand that this will reduce their access to meat and therefore mean or costs more? This is basic supply and demand and I am worried sick for you folks

When I was a book reviews editor for a journal, I would get dozens of early MA students sending me their review assignments. It was a nightmare because my policy was always to give feedback to everyone. I found out part of the assignment was to show they had submitted it to a journal and stopped it.

People need to know. You are not free. The state is coming down in your. You constitutional ideals are gone. God help you all.

Absolutely normal. Entrepreneurial even. We used to use pillow cases because they could hold a lot of weight and then run home, empty, and go again. I did it 3 or 4 times every year back in the 70s. Good times

A scary amount of online health misinformation! ☠️

80% of TikTok remedy recommendations "weren’t supported by scientific evidence."

Soon: on CTV Edmonton!
