I found Be Giant through the TVO (TV Ontario) site today. First post I read was about Canadian inventions. I knew about most of them, not all. begiant.ca/stories/people/ca… #CanadianHistory and science, etc. @begiantca

Goals are dreams with deadlines. - Diana Scharf Hunt

Mom and I watched a video on CBC about twin girls, Tatiana and Krista Hogan, and their family. Tomorrow will be their birthday. I hope the young ladies are well and enjoy the day. Happy Birthday!

Allowance Rip Up - I'd tell them to put the money back together well enough for the bank to accept it as legal tender again. Until they accomplished that, there would be no handouts until they get a job of their own. I would not think this was cute or funny.

Did you know Ontario, Canada had the first nuclear disaster in history? youtu.be/zl4syrvRG1g?si=B8y6… history-channel.org/chalk-ri… Chalk River, Ontario. I was surprised. #CanadaHistory #OntarioHistory

Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling like dew upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think. - Lord Byron

Apparently life is only for the dead.

I was surprised to hear that the Degrassi series star, Neil Hope, had died years ago. CBC has a report about it. He was actually deceased before this report, years before. No one knew he had died, alone and unwell. #CanadianHistory #OntarioHistory cbc.ca/player/play/video/1.1…

I never got into the cell phone craze. Its a small screen for short ideas, a nagging presence I can do without. I do have one, somewhere on my desk. Its dead, forgotten, abandoned. I don't understand how/why people find use for them. Other than being forced to for "verification".

When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us. - Alexander Graham Bell

I pledge to read the printed word. readtheprintedword.org I found this years ago. The link still works and I'm still reading books in print!

No way are there 32 necessary cookies which I can not shut down for looking at ONE page of a website!!! There is no way to contact the Bath Spa Univ. The popup takes over most of the screen space. This is NOT GPC compliant #Cookiebot Can I block Cookiebot? #GPC

To the epidemic of lonely men... get a cat and avoid people who burn you.

Laura: The Healer-Seer’s Magical Profile chatgpt.com/s/m_6ac11ae3b2c0… This is based on a Facebook prompt, an idea someone had posted. I've never used ChatGPT before. Its not what I expected. This image generation was fun.

How does AI see you? thatgrrl.com/blog/?action=vi…

Be careful what accounts you follow on social media. A LOT of them are just AI pollution. Generated content, random and often incorrect, to make money for someone sitting behind the scenes doing not much at all. A lot of Canadian history accounts are actually US based.
