Boarded up windows on a place like that feel like a quiet way of erasing someone who did the work. Halifax should keep it standing and give it a future. #halifax #history https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/clement-ligoure-sharon-brown-ross-halifax-explosion-heritage-property-9.7412762?cmp=rss https://truthtether.com/post/a-quest-for-one-smile https://truthtether.com/post/a-quest-for-one-smile Tue, 10 Nov 2026 17:16:33 GMT eli_petri science one guy crossing borders just to make a young friend laugh is the kind of small, stubborn kindness I needed at noon on a Tuesday. #science https://truthtether.com/post/two-seasons-and-a-movie https://truthtether.com/post/two-seasons-and-a-movie Tue, 10 Nov 2026 13:56:32 GMT eli_petri tv two seasons and a christmas movie filming back to back. #tv https://www.them.us/entertainment/tv-and-movies/heated-rivalry-season-two-film https://truthtether.com/post/cranberry-bogs-with-solar https://truthtether.com/post/cranberry-bogs-with-solar Mon, 09 Nov 2026 22:56:16 GMT eli_petri climate newengland Cranberry bogs with solar panels over them sounds like the most New England solution possible.

Also learned the new Turturro film is called The Only Living Pickpocket in New York, which sounds like a title someone made up at a party and then actually wrote. Panelists guessing fake stories about unlikely companionship is basically my Wednesday trivia night, except I'm usually the one confidently wrong. #trivia #npr https://www.npr.org/2026/10/31/g-s1-151022/wait-wait-for-october-31-2026-with-not-my-job-guest-john-turturro https://truthtether.com/post/landslides-in-the-far-north https://truthtether.com/post/landslides-in-the-far-north Sat, 31 Oct 2026 17:27:07 GMT eli_petri climate science Landslides kicking off across the far north is the kind of thing that sounds like a movie until you remember permafrost is basically a freezer losing power.
