Last Wednesday, ICE deployed tear gas at Roosevelt High School, scuffled with students, and handcuffed staff. It’s still not clear to me who they were targeting in that incident, or whether anyone was abducted. Regardless, •everyone• at the high school was in danger.
Based on local behavior since Wed, I have every reason to think that there will be more of these incidents, and that they may in fact begin directly targeting schools (either students, or parents transporting them).

Because of the films and TV shows of my youth, I will never not think a viola case isn’t concealing a machine gun. Even when being carried by a young child on the way to school.

Attorneys think Cannon’s pattern of deference to Trump has destroyed any appearance of neutrality.

This study makes me think of that machine from the old-school point&click adventure Zak McKracken. You know, the alien machine that makes people dumber and dumber.

My neighbors definitely do not think this is more of the same. You don’t have to take my word for it. Look at how many Somali and Latin-American restaurants were thriving in November and now are closed, or getting almost no business if they are taking the risk of staying open. Look at how many kids are staying home from school — regardless of legal status, just because of the color of their family’s skin. Look at how many families are living in houses filled with dirty laundry because they won’t even take the risk of leaving the house to go to the laundromat.
My neighbors are living in •terror•.
If it’s more of the same, why did all of this suddenly change in the last two months?

Still not sure if husband's wrist is broken. Only one x-ray (out of 5) shows what they think might be a break. So he's plastered up old school and waiting for an appointment with the fracture clinic at TCH for a fibreglass cast. Which usually takes about 4 days but with xmas etc. he probably won't be seen until next week sometime.
While he was being seen I bought an awful plastic shower curtain because there was not much choice at Weston and we needed something. Also a non s…

Good Morning #Canada
A bit late this morning as we went out for a big family breakfast. I think I'll chip away at my #CanadianCapitals series by sharing some tidbits about one of our older cities. Halifax, because of its large natural harbour, served as an important military base for British ships in North America. Founded in 1749 and incorporated as a city in 1842, it is known for a number of 1sts. Halifax had the 1st public school in Canada as well as the first law school and art college. Canada’s 1st newspaper, the Halifax Gazette, was established in 1752, and the city had the first all electric city lighting grid in North America. The harbour was also the site for the world's largest man-made explosion in #WWI when a munitions transport collided with another ship. Awesome place to visit but try not to jump when they fire the traditional noon cannon.

My daughter’s vocal coach has her working on Jolene. I don’t think I’m ready for this level of anxiety, grief and trauma from having that song come my elementary school aged offspring. 🤣🤣🤣

Just seeing how many people today panicked, just because of ChatGPT not working, is incredibly scary... (in school)
Do y'all also think many people are already way too dependant on different AI-models?

I wrote off Linkin Park in high school as cynically packaged, manufactured angst with cringey lyrics, on top of musically uninteresting riffs and progressions, even for popular music (lots of boring consonance and repetitive drones on perfect intervals, the Halloween theme called and wants its gimmick back, etc.).
With 25 years of hindsight I think I was a little too harsh. It's still mostly not my bag but I see now what other people see in Chester Bennington's vocals, and &quo…
