I got a new dress last week. Wore it today. I like it
My first #coffeeneuring post. We’ll see if it sticks.
I biked 7 miles to the bus station, took the bus down to Minneapolis, got coffee and lunch at Chimborazo, a delightful Ecuadorian restaurant on Central, then biked home with a strong southern tailwind […]
Hire Italian postdocs, they'll make Tiramisu! (French folks did make and bring crepes... So hire French postdocs, too!)
Didn't see the National Ballet URL at first, so I thought this was a conspiracy by Big Nutcracker Corp to increase prices just before the holiday season when all those bowls of walnuts come out.
#Toronto The Nutcracker Prices Increase Next Week! Don’t Delay
I’ve put together a short playlist of videos on #PeerTube that are from my catalogue of course and public lecture materials in physics. The videos have some relevance to the Physiology/#Medicine (light and cell ion currents), #Physics (neutrino astronomy), and #Chemistry (symmetry) prizes. They […]

Ok fedi-friends, I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything here. Truthfully I haven’t had a lot to say. That’s changing now though as I cheerfully announce that I am running for a seat on #yellowknife city council. I love #democracy, I love the […]
Meet The Candidate, @radiowaterloo.ca's Municipal Election interview show is now accepting interview requests from all municipal council candidates in WaterlooRegion. Check the calendar at radiowaterloo.ca/mtc/ for an available timeslot!
Numerous different calendar systems are used in the world. The Christian/Western/Gregorian calendar counts the years from an estimate of the year when Jesus was born, and the year turns when the date changes from Dec 31 to Jan 1. There are lunar and solar calendar systems that have been […]
With snap election rumours heating up... I spoke to Global News about the BCNDP's "strategy". British Columbians deserve a better option than status quo parties that only care about their own interests. Join the BC Greens and let's believe in better together. bcgreens.ca/join
I've updated Regional and Mayoral candidates, it seems several had changed their contact info with elections clerks since the candidate lists were certified. More updates coming soon.
@megmac @bobjonkman I see you already have an answer for this specific question, but in the future if you're looking for authoritative sources for timezone/DST policy changes, the first place I always look is the tzdb¹ mailing list² ³. The tzdb project does produce code, but fundamentally it is […]
Well, I made it through the environmental education guest lecture on the environmental costs of generative AI and the billionaire space race without crying. Though I got real close at the end when a student asked about how long humans can survive with all of these unhinged-from-reality AI data […]
It's going to be a very long, really hard day.
I made sure to feed lots of apples and corn stalks to the goats during morning chores. Please enjoy my goats looking like they are singing opera, and my cat who always jumps up on my shoulder when I come in for […]
Decisions about privatising public assets should require broad majority consensus, not unilateral action by parties without majority support. Proportional representation ensures major decisions reflect genuine consensus, not the whims of whichever party wins key swing ridings.
