Maybe America should stop creating Artificial Intelligence and instead educate the population so they have Actual Intelligence?

You know those fundraising songs where you can hear all those great vocalists and you recognize them by just their voice? Well guitarists have their own voice too. Here's a song put together by Mark Knopfler (one of the world's best) with his heros. See how many you can recognize.

This G&M editorial is very well written and on point. Canadians should read it. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/63e2a52...

I'll be performing with Blackie & The Rodeo Kings on June 20 @ 7PM on the Park Stage at the FWC26Vancouver FIFAFan Festival at the PNE. Free with admission. See you there!

Today's office. Second of three shows by the amazing Daniel Champagne.

Yes, I'm pissed that this government let our personal information be abused.

Doing sound for an Arabic Flamenco troupe. I had never really appreciated how kick ass Flamenco dancers are. They are truly powerful women. I love it.

Doesn't matter if the performance itself is staged. The fact is, talented musicians coming together and giving a performance in a public space means the masses get to witness this for free and that's beautiful. TT: Raphaël Froissart IG: Michel Tirabosco ~ Pan flute

Vegas has show girls flagging cars down for free gas to encourage Americans to drive from California to visit Vegas. Do you think they are missing foreign tourists like Canadians and Europeans? FAFO

The Albertans who are/were so concerned about election integrity that they got rid of vote tabulators and are having a referendum on voter photo ID, seem much less concerned about the breach of the voters list.

A senior Iranian ​official said Iran would not allow the ‌U.S. ⁠to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with “an unrealistic plan” and then exit the war without paying any reparations “for ​all the ​damage ⁠inflicted on Iran,” the Wall Street Journal said, citing ​Iran’s state broadcaster Press TV.

Incredible.

Trump has shown he does not have the team, the skill, or the personal fortitude to do a deal with Iran. Iran has shown that they will die rather than accept a deal with Trump. Trump has lost. Oil is going to $150/bbl once traders realize it is not passing SoH for months or years. Sad.

The JCPOA to years to formulate and negotiate. It took a huge team of experts on both sides. It was comprehensive and 109 pages long. Trump saying his few lightweight negotiators are "close" on a "deal" is total fabrication or delusion. Peace is not happening. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_nu...

Oh like, wow. I mean like wowwww. I just realized it's 420. Blow my mind dudes.

Corb makes sense. The foreign coal miner don't. Whose palms in the UCP are being greased? calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

Some tankers are leaving the Strait of Hormuz. Obviously the US is not blocking all traffic.

Read Jared and then call you MLA and DEMAND that gerrymandering is never allowed in Alberta. If this falls, our democracy is done. Just look south.

The futures market has become a polymarket/las vegas market. The reality of actual physical crude shows how tenuous the world economy is. www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

I might be a bit Jealous that AUS got there before we did but I sure hope that we get there soon. Maybe we could also become a great partner of Ukrainian drone makers?

The cucking of JD Vance escalates to levels scientists had previously deemed imposible.

I really wish he'd endorse Trump. :-)

So far, Vance’s foreign policy record is yelling at Zelensky for not thanking Trump enough, campaigning for AfD in Germany and Orban in Hungary, getting rejected by the Pope on his invite to the US, and failing in the Iran negotiations.

Well that was Folkin' good. The CFMA open mic at the Tap was great. So many talented Folkies in Canada. And they were all so nice to work with. I'm not much of a player, but by doing sound I get to sort of be part of the gig. Music is so special. It feeds the soul. Canada under-appreciates

Tonight I intend to get all Folked up. CFMA Open Mic at the Imperial Tap. Will be fun.

i will never forget how elon musk said absolutely nothing at all about the NASA artemis ii mission except one post making fun of that women who took the photo of the launch in the reflection of her glasses. he hates space

Not only does Iran have all the cards, they have a strait

Oil was down this morning because we were going to have "peace talks". But now it is clear that they won't start until Israel stops killing Lebanese and the US does what Iran says they agreed to. As neither is or will happen, Iran will not talk. JD Vance will be lonely in Pakistan tonight.

Iran ​said on Friday that blocked Iranian assets must be released and that a ceasefire ‌must take hold in Lebanon before peace talks can proceed, throwing last-minute doubt over negotiations scheduled for Saturday in Pakistan. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

ACI Europe, industry group that represents EU airports, is warning that airports are set to face a systemic shortage of jet fuel if the Strait of Hormuz is not fully reopened withing 3 weeks. Argus: benchmark NW Europe jet fuel closed at $1573/ton yesterday, up from $750/ton prior to the Iran war

This is very cool. I'd love to get one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDaV...

“You’re not supposed to use your phone while driving.” “Got it. Let’s install large tablet touchscreens in almost every single new car.”

You may think this is a silly thing to say, but what really hits me is I'm so thankful that we have an atmosphere. Look at how pot-marked the Moon is! I'm so glad that I don't live there.

So Loyds is saying that they will not insure vessels going through the Strait. So while the financial price of WTI is off US$20/bbl, the physical price is up at $140/bbl. That is the difference between a polymarket price and reality. Reality is that oil is very tight in the world.

Ok, now do the bass clef.

My father was a Judge. He took his obligation to be fair and non-political very seriously. He would be appalled and horrified at what our political leaders are saying. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

THIS IS BRUTALLY SAVAGE 🔥🔥 Journalist –– What do you think of Trump's speech? 🇺🇸 Rep. Moulton –– "I am not child psychologist, so I can't understand the mind of Trump" 😭 It has become this easy to humiliate Trump

Very cool PBS piece on Hannah Mayree, called "Reclaiming the Banjo's Hidden Black History". Definitely worth watching. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVv...

Well done Calgary. We kept our water use down in the green zone for almost the entire tie and now, WATER RESTRICTIONS ARE LIFTED!
