I saw the Washington Post editorial on redistricting today and this is my official response.

Tyler Coady's military service in Afghanistan left him with PTSD and severe physical injuries — ever since, he's devoted his life to supporting his fellow veterans and their families. He tells Saltscapes about it in this recent interview with Darcy Rhyno. (No paywall)

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

U.S. billionaire financier of Cabot Links golf resort in Cape Breton is Trumpian climate denier, Mike Keiser. Now the Cabot Group wants to take West Mabou Beach provincial park for a 3rd luxury golf course in Inverness, Nova Scotia. Keiser originally got his hands on the Cabot Links land for $1. 🧵

one of the reasons Kevin O'Leary has mostly abandoned Canada for the USA is that he's an idiot and politicians of all stripes in Canada know he's an idiot so they stopped talking to him decades ago

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

At least I'm only a week late this time, but here's #WhatIWatched in October, as posted on @letterboxd.social

The nyt editors already have a biased angle in mind. They’re not seeking facts, they’re looking for quotes to fill in a predetermined narrative of bigotry. Every nyt story about us is intended to spread disinformation and foment discrimination. The leadership’s anti-trans animosity is deeply held

I feel like that puzzled Travolta meme can take a breather for the next three years.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

HIIIIIIIII-YEAH!

Sad irony: Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston won his 1st majority by promising to protect Owls Head from a rich guy who wanted it for a golf course. Now Houston says, well, fuck that, invites rich arseholes to come and help themselves to NS protected lands for golf resorts. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Zing!

Finished putting together one more Happy Swacoween mix on YouTube, this one from 2020 has some repeated artists, which I usually try to avoid, so I may rework it later, but for the most part, it's a fun one ... Enjoy Happy Swacoween 2020! #HappySwacoween youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Q: Where is the ex-royal going, and what are the odds he's guilty, guilty, guilty? A: Norfolk'n'good. (Say it in a strong Yorkshire accent.) (Updated joke borrowed from #ISIHAC)

I was a 78th Highlander for three summers on Citadel Hill. Great job! I still do the occasional formation marching manoeuvre while out on a stroll, and can take down a soldier on a horse if I happen to have a Snider-Enfield breech-loading single cartridge rifle with a triple-sided bayonet attached.

Just announced: @ceciliaconcerts.ca's November Sensory-Accessible Concerts program features cellist Catherine Little and fiddler Brad Reid, joined by pianist and series host Jennifer King. Together they blend Cape Breton fiddle traditions with classical cello and piano.

What happened to Ceausescu again?

Like Lincoln once said, "All men are created equal, but not all men pee equally."

Post a perfect album from 1989, a perfect music year.

Anyone who has tried to walk to Africville knows this house. For a mere $3,900/month, enjoy life between Halifax's principal container truck route and a rail yard. Fall asleep to the relaxing sounds of marine industry. Keep abreast of the latest trends in highway-adjacent billboard advertising.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I wondered what the strange moaning coming from my LaserDisc shelf was ...

This pretty much explaims why we are where we are right now. Where's Buzz Aldrin when you need him?

We have to assume that when he isn't in front of a news camera saying "I don't know anything about that," Johnson spends the rest of his time locked in a foam-lined road case, like one of Jeff Dunham's puppets.

I NEED this album. Pink Panther, Rupert, Doogal *and* Doctor Who? My childhood in a nutshell.

This is the dementia screening test that Trump thinks is an IQ test proving his genius.

The Jays and Dodgers will break for Christmas Eve to share a drink in no man’s land, show each other photos of the family they left back home, before heading back to their respective trenches.

More Halloween fun ... just assembled my 2017 Happy Swacoween mix on YouTube, for your scarifying pleasure! youtube.com/playlist?lis...
