Canada won’t even mention climate change is a thing, right now.

I see we are still straw manning immigrants as the cause of our housing crisis and not government getting out of the building-affordable-housing business.

Nanoraptor@nanoraptor.danamania.com · 2w agoYou suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?
Stay safe out there, please.

Watched The Wrecking Crew and really enjoyed it. The protagonists were Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa and they were Native Hawaiian, or mixed in Bautista’s case. All the good guys were Hawaiian and the bad guys were white or Japanese gangsters. Lot of silly action and I really enjoyed it.

Stay safe out there. Watch out for each other.

My favourite plate broke tonight. I was putting it away and, opening the cupboard door, it was banged by the door and, as a result, was shoved into a bowl I was also holding. The plate broke in half. There were no shards, it just snapped in half. Both plate & bowl were pottery. The bowl’s fine.
Fascinating thread
