On July 4th a Unitarian Universalist meetinghouse I've been fortunate to visit several times was vandalized: Pride and BLM flags torn down and burned, antique shutters and windows broken, and more. They just launched a crowdfund to help with damages. www.faithify.org/campaign/361...

I continue to assume that the entire existance of this musical is a prank, and I don't want any evidence to convince me it's not.

I saw this exhibition in Toronto, and if he had lived long enough to make this an explicit reference, it would have fit in with a number of the other pieces just fine.

Good news is that TSC Canada is now owned by Peavey Mart and is separate from the US organization. I can't say I know anything about Peavey Mart's views though.

Remember when PC games came in big cardboard boxes? More importantly, remember when PC games came with manuals and other materials that actually filled up the big cardboard box?

I'm quite angry about the news that the Ontario Science Centre closed for good today, with no notice. During high school I volunteered and did a co-op placement there. I spent a lot of time there, got to attend multiple exhibit hall openings, and still have my green lab coat in my closet.

Living in res at UWaterloo in first year, I missed out on the night that a bunch of guys ordered KFC delivery, not because they wanted chicken, but because they each wanted their own Deep 'n' Delicious and added it to the order.

I read this and thought it was such a good idea I did the same just recently. Well, fewer body parts. My body has lost a bunch of them naturally as I aged.

In Canada it airs at 7pm EDT on TSN2. I forget how many times I've watched it, and try to watch it every year on this date. Highly recommended.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. β˜ΊοΈπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆπŸ’–

The richest people on earth believe they can create so much hatred and disgust for trans folks that it can be used to roll back women's rights, queer rights, privacy rights, rights to public education, rights to free assembly. It's all the same fight. I wish more of y'all saw that.

I never watched House of Cards, which is why I tell myself that Reg E. Cathey's Emmy was due to his work on Square One.

I know that it's not the point of the article, and you're not in charge at @boingboing.bsky.social, but I've been in Europe for 2+ weeks, and I'm shocked that it's the worst GDPR consent pop-up I've experienced in this time.

DMs on Bluesky will not be "end-to-end encrypted" until we are able to do some more protocol work. We have very careful access controls within our systems. If you're extremely privacy conscious, I'd recommend using Bluesky DMs to share your Signal accounts!

There's a difference between Mormons and Canadians? I assume Americans think us Canadians are the same: pretty nice, but wrong about how things work.

In Toronto there were unlicensed shops that kept getting raided and the cops were welding the doors shut, so they started sleeping in the shop because that would be a safety risk, then the cops kept dropping concrete blocks in front of the door. I don't know how it ended though.

It's legal where I live, but now we have a couple of mushroom shops that seem to get raided every week or two, and then just continue on?

Your regular reminder that HPV shots are not just for teen girls, they are for everyone of every gender! In AMAB people HPV can lead to head and neck cancers, and causes about half of all penile cancer cases.

I'm excited to be at Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service, but it's weird to be in the Scotiabank Arena with a bunch of Leafs banners knowing they're about to start playing a game 7.

This is great news, and the only bad thing is that the most genuinely positive news about journalism in years happens to be about The Onion and not many more sites.

I don't know, but have you considered one particularly sturdy plant that your cat absolutely hates so it ignores the others? I, uh, don't know much about plants or cats.

You know, children have a natural curiosity and intelligence that you just need to encourage rather than weighing them down with anxiety. If they see a real benefit to it, kids will learn anything. This one, for example, learned how to send a fax in 2024
