from Kate Beaton's Hark! A Vagrant. Two people in Victorian (?) dress with the man saying "I am excited for someone to invent the tshirt". No, Victorian dress isn't the same as Regency dress (as it would be in P&P, which I'm watching), but both look extremely uncomfortable in different ways.

screenshot of 4thewords editor page, mostly the floating bar for formatting, with the file name of "i-am-attempting-outlines-oh-no". the editor is beige and blue, similar to the Solarized theme.

A zoom-in of a map of Conception Bay North, Newfoundland and Labrador, and right in the centre is a place called Hill With The Rock On It. No pictures seem to exist of what The Rock On It is, precisely. It just kind of looks like a regular degular hill.
two posts on Bluesky, one from the unofficial CBC News bot with Defence Minister McGuinty reaffirming that Canada will control its own defences and sovereignty. the second, from George Takei, snarking on Trump's post about Canada paying 61 billion dollars (I can't help but hear this in the Dr. Evil voice, I'm sorry) for the Golden Dome system unless we ~become the cherished 51st state~.

screenshot from 338 Canada of the Avalon riding. the Liberals have a hilarious 99% odds of winning for this riding, with the NDP and Conservatives barely even registering in the bar graphs.
