@StephenKing Happy belated birthday, Stephen!

@Rainmaker1973 They should recycle aluminum everywhere. They do in Australia. I wish they did in Canada too along with the rest of the world. I know they don’t do it in Toronto.

Aluminum is an infinitely recyclable material: it takes up to 95% less energy to recycle it than to produce primary aluminum Today, about 75% of all aluminum produced in history, nearly a billion tons, is still in use This is how alluminum pots are made twitter.com/Levandov_1/sta…

@Morgan_C_Ross The mixture of meat and pineapple causes a toxin. Notice your face turns a pink hue after eating Hawaiian pizzas.

This man invented Hawaiian pizza at his small restaurant in Chatham, Ontario in 1962. If you could go back in time - would you stop him or let it happen?

Nicely shot sequences, building up towards the climax. Beautiful and nostalgic. Captures the essence of the thriller. Feel the mood and wonder what will happen next.

@WeirdMedieval Now imagine that in real life. Goodnight and happy dreams!

I was today years old when I found out Robert Redford is the bearded meme guy! Mind blown

@jeffreyford8 Be safe and make it there in one piece!

Heading for Brooklyn for tonight’s reading at Barrow’s in Industry City, and hitting some shit weather and hail. Yeesh.

We are on course for the collapse of the liveable world. There is no time to wait. No more delays. #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmergency #climate #energy #renewables #GreenNewDeal

@TSting18 Shawshank Redemption is a deeply memorable film.

@MarkHamill I am Canadian and I feel the same way, but in view of our whole planet. There should be rules in all nations that ensure that people in power are sane and could be fired on the spot if deemed corrupt.

@joe_dante @renfieldprods One of the first films we rented most probably with along with a vcr. Great film. Imagine a sequel to that. Wouldn’t be the same without River Phoenix’s Wolfgang.

My picture Explorers was released to theaters on this date in 1985! Who here saw it in theaters? Who discovered it on VHS? We've added a new still from the flick to our @renfieldprods shop, featuring the Thunder Road crew's alien pal Neek! renfieldcollection.com/product-page/n…

PreColumbian Magoo.

@curiosityonx Notice the garbage on Venus thrown there by an ancient civilization extinct by treating their planet much as we are doing, our civilization doomed too by pollution. And some other alien civilization will no doubt send a robot to explore Earth like this in the eventual future.

The clearest picture that was ever taken of the surface of Venus...

Pro tip: Most teenagers technically have superior hearing when measured against older pros, but even the healthiest of ears can be deaf with inexperience. We are all damned to lose some hearing as we age—but that doesn’t have to be tonight! PROTECT THE EARS!!!

A 1982 Future Shop ad. Thoughts?

@historyinmemes Doesn’t that look like Steve Martin’s home that he and John Candy walk up to at the end of Planes, Trains and Automobiles?

During a certain period, Sears offered complete houses in large do-it-yourself (DIY) kits through their catalogs. These kits were transported by train and encompassed around 30,000 components, including wiring, plumbing, and heating, which collectively weighed over 25 tons. Customers had the option to choose from more than 370 designs, and each kit included a 75-page instruction manual. Sears asserted that an individual with "average" skills could construct the entire house within a span of 90 days. Between 1908 and 1940, Sears managed to sell over 70,000 DIY homes at prices ranging from $600 to $6,000 (approximately equivalent to $8,400 to $84,000 in today's currency). One notable model, known as the Martha Washington (as depicted in the accompanying images), was sold for $3,028 (equivalent to $45,538 today) in 1921. In 2016, the same Martha Washington model was purchased for $1.06 million in Washington D.C. Remarkably, almost 70% of these Sears DIY houses are still standing today.
