the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

I call BS on today’s #NYTSpellingBee pangram. That should have had a hyphen.

HEY! That’s my mom you’re talking about…

I think I would like the entirety of ZUMA to be played at my wake, in the unlikely event of one. music.apple.com/ca/album/par...

If I didn’t already have a zillion coffee mugs, this would be an instant purchase. From @raygunsite.com, “The Greatest Store in the Universe,” and I can’t disagree. Progressive, funny merch (and newsletter!). I’ve got at least eight of their t-shirts, all Midwest-themed, a place I have never been.

So far today, I’ve seen two cartoons showing ICE killing the Statue of Liberty and one of them killing that blind Justice lady.

There is a malevolent force lurking in our pantry cupboard.

It’s freakish, the temperature has barely dropped below freezing down here at sea level. I bought a heater for my hummingbird feeder and I haven’t even opened the box.

I checked out @defector.com‘s commenting guidelines because I knew they would be insightful but also funny and I was not disappointed on either count: How To Comment On Defector - defector.com/how-to-comme...

Sometimes I have my Teams window active when I'm doing the #NYTSpellingBee. In the past, I've mistakenly said "doom" to my colleagues. Today, it was "evil."

À bout de souffle (1960) dir: Jean-Luc Godard 📽️

Great read. This quote isn’t the thrust but it sure made me laugh. “The only person I can believe was too stupid to have used a search engine was Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Cat is pissed that dog stole his spot in front of the fire.

Look, I know it’s terrible, but I had a true lol when I saw Li’l Coalie.

Aw geez, I'm starting to get weird old-man eyebrows.

She reminds me of the first Kate Bush album, a delightfully bit off-kilter. music.apple.com/ca/album/fan...

Watching the crime drama STEAL and I have no opinion so far on the plot or whatever… except that the London architecture depicted is freaking gorgeous. Someone has read my mind.

Has Ted Nugent shot up a bunch of Philip Glass CDs yet?

Now THAT’S an album cover.

I swear, this lady needs to play Vancouver before I die, otherwise I will need to travel to wherever she may be. music.apple.com/ca/album/dri...

I haven’t thought about these guys in decades. What a great song. It took me ages to realize that “a baby’s arm holding an apple” is a euphemism. music.apple.com/ca/album/wha...

Feeling more and more like this every day.

Witness saw Robin Leach strangle a girl to death? That sycophantic nitwit?

NOT SO LONG AGO: This cardboard box might come in handy, I think I'll hang on to it. NOW: Who will rid me of this mountain of Amazon Prime boxes?

This song about (maybe not quite) going straight is just delightful. I’ve only tonight cottoned to what “Coke Machine” probably means. music.apple.com/ca/album/got...

I love how they sing their own reverb. Great band. music.apple.com/ca/album/rep...

Lots of guys with backwards ball caps and truck nutz never gonna listen to Philip Glass again

I cannot overstate how central this album was to my lifelong love of music. music.apple.com/ca/album/the...

Well, the soothing, dulcet tones of Tom Homan should fix everything.

interesting to note both treatments for alzheimers are infusions that are delivered every 2-4 weeks via IV in the hand, and require both MRI and cognitive tests to monitor. Weird.

Used the word “torpor “ in the Spelling Bee today so that’s a win.

This is fairly humorous. The guy is clearly a grifter. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...

Seems fitting tonight, what with all that’s going on. music.apple.com/ca/album/sta...

Join Democracy Rising in a protest against Hootsuite's involvement with #ice. Hootsuite is a #vancouver tech company providing social media services. Their customers include the Department of Homeland Security and ICE.

This has always been my nutshell. A rising tide lifts all boats, you dumb fucks.

This album art confirms that ladybugs are just adorable beetles but beetles nonetheless. Good song, btw.

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

Your headline is boooring.

Found this beauty while cleaning out old gloves and shit. No idea where it came from as I have no interest in curling or The Soo.

Every time I go outside, I spot this water jug (?) and think it’s one of my cats.

Have you ever seen cuter kids? (17yrs ago, 3,1,2.) … check out these weirdos. (Last week, 3,2,1) ❤️

Pretty sure Stompin’ Tom had no idea K.D Lang was queer AF when he did this. music.apple.com/ca/album/lad...

Look , Stompin’ Tom was a jerk, but how can you not love this? music.apple.com/ca/album/tri...

Holy shit, why have I never heard about this song before? I have family who were on that bridge when it collapsed. music.apple.com/ca/album/the...

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

It's funny but it seems like people in Canada are "meh" or worse as regards Mark Carney, but he's a smash hit on the world stage.
