You don't hear governors refer to current presidents as wanna-be dictators either.

Wait, what? I admit it's not peer-reviewed, but it's hardly pseudo-science. I even shared a gift article. Also, it was written by Alice Callahan who is a Times reporter covering nutrition and health and she has a Ph.D. in nutrition from the University of California, Davis.

One side sees urgency, while the other wants to push on the breaks. It can't just be one or the other, they need to meet somewhere in the middle.

They cost far more (whereas physical books are heavily discounted for libraries), they have licensing terms (limited circ or time period), and there's the issue of hosting perpetual access materials. Physical books are just cheap, durable, and most importantly yours to do whatever you want with them (donate them, sell them, make crafts with them, etc.).

Certainly not for public libraries

Go jump in a lake

 

"The leaders agreed on the importance of Canada and the United States working together- as independent, sovereign nations for their mutual betterment," the statement said.

To that end, the leaders agreed to meet in person in the near future."

The White House, however, signalled that Mr. Trump's campaign to absorb Canada will continue.

In a statement issued Tuesday, White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said the Canadian election "does not affect President Trump's plan to make Canada America's cherished 51st state."

 

A few rows back from the empty stage, Amanda Mainville burst into tears, and instantly, every camera in the vicinity swung its lens toward her. She shouted an expletive as she wiped her eyes, bathed in the blue light bouncing off the walls and stage.

Fortunately for her, Jon Gurman and his daughter Raquel were standing nearby, ready the moment the mood turned. Mr. Gurman reached into his jacket and produced a plastic canister labelled “Anti-Liberal Wipes" ("Now with extra logic!" was emblazoned across it) and a metal can of “Anti- Liberal Rash Cream." ... The previous night, she had attended the big rally in Mr. Poilievre's riding of Carleton on the outskirts of Ottawa- where, as of this writing, he was behind and at risk of losing his seat to his Liberal challenger. She found it to be a transformative experience, much different from watching his videos online.

"He fills my soul. When I watch him on the lives, it's one crying, we were in tears," she said. "You feel from the soul of Pierre, just bringing that out to everybody."

 

I hope this gift article works🤞

 

Have never seen the original or the sequel, but have always loved the 1986 version.

 

Arrow Video has announced its June batch of 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray release. They are: Dark City (1998), Witness (1985), Road House (1989), Swordfish (2001), The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974), The Invisible Swordsman (1970), and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).

 

"The researchers found that only one treatment — the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, like ibuprofen and aspirin — was effective at reducing short-term, or acute, low back pain. Five other treatments had good enough evidence to be considered effective at reducing chronic low back pain. These were exercise; spinal manipulation, like you might receive from a chiropractor; taping the lower back; antidepressants; and the application of a cream that creates a warming sensation. Even so, the benefit was small."

 

"This is not the first time Musk has gone after the site. In December, he posted on X, “Stop donating to Wokepedia.” And that wasn’t even his first bad Wikipedia pun. “I will give them a billion dollars if they change their name to Dickipedia,” he wrote, in an October, 2023, post. It seemed to be an ego thing at first. Musk objected to being described on his page as an “early investor” in Tesla, rather than as a founder, which is how he prefers to be identified, and seemed frustrated that he couldn’t just buy the site. But lately Musk’s beef has merged with a general conviction on the right that Wikipedia—which, like all encyclopedias, is a tertiary source that relies on original reporting and research done by other media and scholars—is biased against conservatives."

 

At least 274 Kenyan workers, mostly women, have died in Saudi Arabia in the past five years — an extraordinary figure for a young work force doing jobs that, in most countries, are considered extremely safe. At least 55 Kenyan workers died last year, twice as many as the previous year.

Absolutely heartbreaking article.

 

"Canadians may have gone in for wokeness in recent years, it is true, but there is the matter of their bloody-minded DNA. It was not that long ago that they harvested baby seals—the ones with the big, sad, adorable brown eyes—with short iron clubs. They love hockey, a sport that would have pleased the emperors and blood-crazed plebeians and patricians of ancient Rome if they could only have figured out how to build an ice rink in the Colosseum." 😅

 

The Criterion Collection has announced its June batch of 4K Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases. They are: Sorcerer (1977), Brazil (1985), Midnight (1939), Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters (1985), The Wiz (1978), Thelonious Monk Straight, No Chaser (1988), and Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould (1993).

 

Been dying to watch this, after having read Al Pacino's memoir "Sonny Boy."
