Perhaps Americans will be disguising themselves as bears and sneaking over here for our socialist, ursine medical help.

That’s it for me. In one for or another (and I am sure it will grow and evolve in new directions), for better or worse, I’m here for good.

As Big Social Media gobbled up the Web I rather lost the enthusiasm I had during the early days of the Internet (other life events didn’t help) but the Fediverse has got the fire back in my belly again.

Fetch the BFG!

… Maybe I am haunted…

Maybe you are the ghost.

It’s in the segment I quoted: hydrocephalus.

“The glob or the goo or whatever it is, we don’t think it’s a sponge because there have been people lighting it on fire and it burns,” she said during a phone interview.

“We figure there must be some type of oil in there.”

So far, federal scientists have discovered that the mysterious globs are not a petroleum hydrocarbon, petroleum lubricant, biofuel or biodiesel, said Ms. Bayard. But to date, she added, the substance has not yet been identified. More tests could take up to a month to complete.

It’s odd as it looks like the lumps of palm oil that wash up on the beaches here (which would fit with it being an oil) but that would be an early one to test for and I’d have thought it would Count under biofuel.

Also this should be from the Glob and Mail.

It does feel like Labour are playing the long game with short-term pain, for long-term gain so they probably accept that this first 100 days was going to be rough. However, you’d think they’d try to balance things out, spread the pain around, because the winter fuel payment issue will be a stick used to beat Labour with at the next election.

That raises some interesting questions.

Someone said they’d seen a ghost twice in my previous house - a Victorian era labourer in a flat cap. What they didn’t know was that the house was used as a base by the workers building the houses on the block it was on and the opposite block (the garden used to run all the day to the road behind as it was used as the yard for storing timber and bricks - the plot was later sold off so another house could be built on it). When we later redecorated and, stripping back to the plaster we found that the workers had painted it to make it more homely.

They can threaten to take their toys and go home but there is money to be made.

Weirdest thirst trap discovered.

The more I read about Hubzilla, the more I like the sound if it.

You are braver than I am, I’m waiting for the paperback.

This woman heard the stories of Baba Yaga and wanted to be like her.

They should have sent Hellboy.

Feels like Halloween has come early.

We don’t know. Details are skimpy but it seems it’ll star Matt Damon and start shooting at the start of next year, at which point we’ll begin to get leaks from the set. I am sure someone will post more on here when we have further news.

They’re great!

I’m just using the IMDb classification to avoid my own personal bias.

And yes,I could see it getting a few nominations as it is very well constructed, as well as acted - I felt like you could do an immediate rewatch and get a very different experience once you had a first run through under your belt. That’s a very delicate balancing act they pulled off but I think they nailed it.
