City of Calgary bus stop in the early morning light
Hi @calgarytransit.com @calgary.ca when are these posts going to get a roof over them, like the shelter has? 33 ave sw and crowchild. Marda Loop is a Main Street, shouldn’t this get done, after more than a year of this bus stop being refurbished?
Look at this finish in the men’s sprint standing semifinal.
Canada’s Mark Arendz sneaks in for second place and is into the final.
He’s looking for a 14th Paralympic medal.
THIS is what sabbaticals are for.
Just checking my spam filter and there’s a bunch of mdpi review requests so it’s doing a decent job I guess.
A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.
ditto
It might seem silly to post about skiing in this context, but I truly believe that one's mental health takes a back seat in academia and days like this are rejuvenating for body and mind. Mind you, my body is destroyed.

Just maybe the best resort day I’ve ever had. What say you @fuzzyfaced.bsky.social?
Oooooh baby
THIS is what sabbaticals are for.
This might be one of the greatest shots that I have ever seen.
I feel like this is a useful chart for anywhere, not just Bluesky. And I'm not a reply guy. I'm a quote-skeet guy.
Listening to @ianhanomansing.bsky.social #CrossCountryCheckup show about use of AI in the workplace. the cognitive dissonance of some callers is infuriating. One guy paid $140/month for Claude Max but was worried about how AI is ruining things for his kids.
Trying desperately to see ANY bright side -- it's never been a better time to be a decent hetero guy who wants a full partner and knows how to do his own laundry and actively likes women as people.
This is just the base. You take a gondola waaaay up first to get to the ski area
It’s so windy at Banff Sunshine that the entire mountain is closed. But with 15-25cm of snow expected today, tomorrow should be incredible. Fingers crossed the mountain stays closed all day. #SabbaticalLife

ANOTHER ONE?! That's three in about a month?!

Screenshot of my DOGE letter “Dr. Joseph Rezek Dear NEH Grantee, This letter provides notice that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) is terminating your federal grant (Grant Application No. FEL29509824) effective April 3, 2025, in accordance with the termination clause in your Grant Agreement. Your grant no longer effectuates the agency's needs and priorities and conditions of the Grant Agreement and is subject to termination due to several reasonable causes, as outlined in 2CFR§200.340. For instance, NEH has reasonable cause to terminate your grant in light of the fact that the NEH is repurposing its funding allocations in a new direction in furtherance of the President's agenda. The President's February 19, 2025 executive order mandates that the NEH eliminate all non-statutorily required activities and functions. See Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy, E.O. 14217 (Feb. 19, 2025). Your grant's immediate termination is necessary to safeguard the interests of the federal government, including its fiscal priorities. Any objections or appeals to this termination will be managed in strict accordance with the President's Executive Orders,
Last year, this guy (left) from DOGE used ChatGPT to find NEH grants that were too “DEI” for Trump, and canceled them, including mine, as shown by the letter I received last April (right). Huge new NYT article on the back story link below

They're nostalgic but probably only if you ate them as a kid. Sometimes for a quick meal we'll have those with a fried egg and maybe some bok choy
Lolwut?!
Wakes up, sees that there is a category of food reviewers specific to instant noodles, goes back to sleep
Me too
No egg on this one although I often do that with spinach pizza
It was nice to hear CBC’s Brent Bambury mention Bluesky posts from @jessehawken.bsky.social on Day6 this morning. Would be even nicer if Brent and the CBC had accounts here.
