If you're completely overwhelmed by the suffering of the world and a feeling of hopelessness,
do one small thing locally.
It's basically the antidote.

The most up-to-date light curve of interstellar comet #ATLAS - https://x.com/AsteroidEnergy/status/1983707109045989551 - with sparse data points all the way to perihelion, https://bsky.app/profile/kwalsh4a.bsky.social/post/3m4bwiczncs2z from PUNCH serving the latest. So as seen from Earth the brightness is about 9.5 mag. - and should still be 10.something when the comet can be observed from the ground again, from about 10 November onwards.
Good Morning #Canada
I hope you're waking up to a scrumptious smell from the kitchen because it's National Bacon Day. While you're waiting for it to finish cooking, here are some facts to salivate over:
- Canadian Bacon, aka Back Bacon or Peameal Bacon, is a Canadian invention. It's also healthier than regular bacon, with far less saturated fats
- 42% of Canadians prefer their bacon crispy while 49% enjoy it limp. I assume 9% eat it raw?
- Winnipeg, home of the Bacon Centre of Excellence, is the Bacon Capital of Canada
- Canadians consume over 50M kilos of bacon annually. I ate my 1.25 kilos this year.
- Canadian Bacon, the movie, was a box office flop, only earning $178K on a production budget of $11M
- The average weight of a pig prior to processing is 111.2 kilos
- Canadian producers exported 18.6M kilos of cured bacon and 202K kilos of back bacon
- There are over 14M hogs in Canada
- 82% of Canadians add bacon on their burgers
- Kevin Bacon is not Canadian

Omg, this detail from CNN about the ICE hiring snafu is wild.
This seems like an HR 101 level thing to get right.
They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus
