This is my story. I am having a very emotional and bad day today. I have some wonderful new friends helping me move my belongings to storage. Tenant faces eviction after he withheld rent for flooded apartment with asbestos tiles | CBC News cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

The trailer ACME doesn’t want you to see. Coyote vs. ACME. In theaters August 28.

The first trailer for ‘COYOTE VS ACME’ has been released. In theaters on August 28.

There it is. Exerted emphasis on the word 'severely'. Not once. But every time she says it. That is bias. The trope 'they don't look severely disabled to me' lives on. If your disability is not blazingly visible, you are exaggerating or pretending. The fake concern is nauseous.

@GettingCooked @JonFraserTF The Trees. I also thought of the Rush song. The inequality of the trees. I know there had been varying explanations of the lyrics through the years, but yeah it fits. Nonsense or not. I am not so sure it was just silly lyrics as he first stated and then expanded on much later.

Will they be handing out tree equity cards?

Orion's main parachute has deployed. The spacecraft has a system of 11 chutes that will slow it down from around 300 mph to 20 mph for splashdown. Get more updates on the Artemis II blog: nasa.gov/blogs/artemis/

Orion’s crew and service module have separated. The crew module continues on its path towards Earth while the service module will harmlessly burn up in Earth’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. The Artemis II return trajectory is designed to ensure any remaining debris does not pose a hazard to land, people, or shipping lanes.

Neither Service Canada or CRA initiate texts. The only time they text is multiple factor authentication (MFA) codes when you login. All notifications are also always personalized. Just some clues to look for.

FRAUD ALERT Received this text today. It is pretending to be Service Canada. The website referenced is not a Govt of Canada website (.com), the number referenced is a CRA number, Service Canada & Canada Revenue Agency are not the same department. Scammers are getting clever.

There is a reason why many foodbanks, whenever possible, add an extra treat or something that is not on the staples list. Food, besides being nourishment, sometimes needs to be pleasurable.

Fine for them if they want to sacrifice not because they have to, but want to. As the article says, they've learned to live without little luxuries such as herbal teas, mint, chips etc. One of the joys of life is delicious food. Treat yourself & be happy. dailyhive.com/vancouver/cana…

They used to be the size of a small chicken egg. Now they are so small they can be eaten in 2 bites. Yeah, they are delicious, but at the price they are now, and the miniscule size not really worth it.

@kinsellawarren Calgary, as an example, now has about 4.5 hours total of primetime local news for the entire weekend spread amongst 3 networks. Then there is CTV which has zero local news for Saturday or Sunday. Half of the 4.5 hours of local news is from Edmonton, so not actually even local.

@kinsellawarren This one is specifically pointed at due to media consolidation with both CW & ABC affiliates in the market area now under same ownership. Though, with broadcast TV viewership & especially viewers for local newscasts falling off a cliff, this is only going to excelerate.

A local TV newsroom disappeared overnight. It’s a warning sign for what’s next. - Poynter poynter.org/business-work/…

If you're under 53 years old, you have never once been alive while a human was farther than 250 miles from Earth. Tonight, four astronauts are heading 252,000 miles out. That's a thousand times farther than any person has gone in your lifetime. The 250-mile ceiling is where the International Space Station floats. Every astronaut since December 1972 has been stuck in that zone. Spacewalks, science experiments, cool photos from orbit, sure. But nobody left the neighborhood. The last crew to go farther was Apollo 17. December 1972. Nixon was president. The internet didn't exist. Cell phones were 11 years away. The youngest member of that crew is now 90 years old. The farthest any human has ever been from Earth is 248,655 miles. The Apollo 13 crew set that number in 1970, and they didn't mean to. Their oxygen tank blew up, and the emergency route home took them farther out than anyone before or since. Tonight's crew will break that record on purpose. And the crew itself. Victor Glover becomes the first Black astronaut to leave Earth's neighborhood. Christina Koch becomes the first woman. Jeremy Hansen, a Canadian fighter pilot, becomes the first non-American to do so. When they come home, they'll slam into the atmosphere at 25,000 mph, faster than any human has ever traveled. The Moon's south pole has ice. Water ice, sitting in craters so deep that sunlight hasn't hit them in billions of years. A 2024 NASA study found way more of it than anyone expected. You can split water into hydrogen and oxygen, which gives you rocket fuel, breathable air, and drinking water, all made on the Moon instead of hauled up from Earth. George Sowers at Colorado School of Mines calculated that Moon-made fuel could shave $12 billion off a single trip to Mars. The Moon is a gas station on the road to Mars. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced last week a $20 billion plan to build a permanent base at the South Pole over the next seven years, with landings every six months. China is developing its own lunar lander and spacesuit, aiming for a crewed landing by 2030. The Artemis program has burned through $93 billion so far, and the first actual surface landing is penciled in for 2028. There's a real question of who gets there first this time around. Harrison Schmitt walked on the Moon in December 1972 as part of Apollo 17. He's 90. Asked about it this week, he sounded pretty relaxed. "Mars is attainable," he said. "We're humans. That's what we've always done."

Brisket and cobbler and quiche, oh my! Curious what astronauts eat on a 10-day trip around the Moon? Read about how we design and prepare meal plans for Artemis II: go.nasa.gov/4ceYlSu

A historic moment for Canada! 🚀 Artemis II launched at 6:35 pm (ET). CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen becomes the first Canadian to lift off for a mission around the Moon. Make sure to follow us to stay updated during the next 10 days!  🌕

Liftoff. The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon. Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

As a lifelong conservative, I was shocked at how well run the Federal NDP leadership convention was run this was weekend. I found the delegates all logical and I loved the idea of skipping speaking lines based on individual equity scorecard system. What a leader! Go Avi Go!
