Going to start referring to things from 1952-2022 as "Elizabethan Era"

"The Beatles were one of the most notable musical acts of the Elizabethan Era"

I literally will not share posts here if they're just an xchan screengrab. Even if it's the best content I've ever seen. I just can't bring myself to do it.

I've had "The Boys are Back in Town" come up in a couple of contexts lately, so I tried to learn who the boys were, and what town they were back in.
I was not prepared.

"One theory is that it is about a group of Manchester criminals collectively known as the Quality Street Gang"

Oh, what, like the candy I always get at Christmas?

Turns out, yes, it was a gang of British tough guys named after foil-wrapped candies and that's hilarious 😆​

Got an email from my son's teacher that he "could have done better" on his geography test, but neither he nor I have been told what his actual grade was. It feels so needlessly passive-aggressive from the teacher?

Good morning everyone! Let's start Friday off with some #TrivialPursuit

3/6 for me today - I got G, H, and AL. How many do you know?

Once again registering my objection to Groundhog Day on the grounds that only 6 more weeks of winter would, in fact, represent an early spring. Do the math, people!

Good morning Mastodon! Let's celebrate Friday with some #TrivialPursuit !

How many of these do you know? I started off strong this week - got the first three, and then whiffed on the back end

The city of Ottawa were basically abandoned by municipal and provincial government for weeks on end. That's a kind of emergency that we should have a legal framework for dealing with.

3 important nuances you won't read in headlines or hysterical reactions from Conservatives.

  1. The judge said he would have supported invoking had he been sitting at the cabinet table.
    With the information they had at the time, Cabinet did the right thing.

  2. It's only with the benefit of hindsight, which the federal cabinet did not have, that the judge determines they erred.

  3. Invoking the Act in & was proper. He merely disputes invoking it nation-wide.

@gemelliz the gap between what the judge actually ruled and how people/media are reacting to it has been quite enlightening.

Dunstable,
@Dunstable@mstdn.ca avatar

@monicarooney @gemelliz based on the judge's comments I get the feeling he was trying to pass the buck onto a higher court.

Hello 🇨🇦​ Mastonauts! @chris has organized a petition to get the Federal government to embrace the fediverse

This sounds like a great opportunity to increase awareness about Mastodon in Canada. You can read and sign the petition at https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-4769. I've already signed and hope others find it worthwhile to do so as well. 🙂​

@lothcat I've only recently started getting into Discworld - I'd wanted to for years but felt a little intimidated by the size of the series. It's really good and I'm glad I started!

If you want to start, use an ereader, and are comfortable using VPN there's a Humble Bundle that's out right now that includes the whole series for $20 US.

@lothcat https://www.discworldemporium.com/reading-order/ is a really useful tool that helped me feel less intimidated. There's a quiz that you can take that gives you an idea of the best starting point for you, as well as a guideline for a reading order
