One day in the year 1892, when Edvard Munch was going for a walk near Oslo, the sky turned blood red.

He went home and created one of the most famous works of art in history.

But what is The Scream screaming about?

On what would have been the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we’re reminded that progress can move backward. And that means we’ve got to recommit to doing our part to protect and expand reproductive rights for families today — and for generations to come.

Toronto Instagram's wild right now, the bars who are Bell customers are like "come on down it's a normal Friday night in the 21st century with wifi and TV" and the bars with Rogers are like "as night falls on Day 1 of the After Times we have developed a crude bartering system,"

I wish research papers have a section in the appendix that is titled - "What did not work".
Although the main paper should outline "what works", it's worth writing about the series of failed experiments.

FIFA 23 will allow cross-system competition for the first time—players from Xbox, PC and PlayStation systems can face each other, per @_Tom_Henderson_

Your entire life happens inside your body. It's the one home you will always occupy and can never sell.

But you can renovate it.

If you can only pick one habit to build, exercise is probably the one. Everything is downstream from how your body is functioning.

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

A few big, right moves & decisions, can set you up forever.
- The career you choose
- The person you marry
- The opportunities you take

They often seem "important," but in retrospect, they are critical.

Don't just roll through life. Pay attention to your decisions.
