This reviewer gets at the crux of AdP's brilliance. Essentially, they are the embodiment of a Royal Fuck You to the techbros and the encroaching anti-human AI trend. And the people here in Quebec are revelling in it. Art > $ Angine de Poitrine entre dans la légende lp.ca/zqvH3o?shari...

I made my way to Place des Spectacles to check out the scene & hopefully take some photos & video clips of "early bird" Angine de Poitrine fans near the TD stage. I arrived when #AdP were doing their soundcheck. 😀 #AngineDePoitrine #MontrealMoments #MTLmoments #MTLlife #LiveMusic #FIJM #FIJM2026

I never do these things because behind the scenes, someone is gathering data and triangulating it to their own profitable, and probably dubious, ends.

Someone is starting to look like they are positioning themselves for something electoral.

Polished version (from the lovely album, Don't Try This At Home) "Over here, over there It's the same, everywhere A boy cries out for his Mama Before he dies for his home" youtu.be/TN9-l-Oy6KY?...

A mammoth song (and a terrific monologue intro, which still resonates two decades later) Loves me some Billy Bragg when I'm foldong laundry. Enjoy. youtu.be/VYNhyziSFWY?...

Compares well with Justin Trudeau being pushed aside for the centrist Mark Carney to save us from the many "Never Poilievre" centre-right and centre-left voters. Now the LPC is being molded a lot closer to the HarperCon agenda and undoing much of the progress made since 2015, but that's ElbowsUp.

“Propaganda always fails when the gap between the fantasy and the reality becomes so large that even the uninformed and uneducated can see it.”

Watching Arrival, perhaps the best movie ever made about Communications Studies, and about peacefully bridging the gaps between vastly different cultures. Of course it's directed by a Québécois Alors, bonne Saint-Jean, particulairement à ceux qui cherche (sans resultats) l'emoji : Québec flag.

Hunter speaks! Dems need to listen. 🙌🔥

[Snip]: The COI's report also found that the "intense scale and systematic nature of the Israeli military operations have continued," causing unprecedented death, injury and trauma to Palestinian children.

Thank goodness Mr. Poilievre is aware of his party's coddling appeal to maladjusted loners and is eager to get to the botto-o-oh look he called off the investigation gosh I wonder why.

Jarry Park is the one jewel of the dense, poor Park Extension neighbourhood. Now it seems we're about to lose one of the nicest baseball diamonds in the city. It will take a concerted effort ofcitizen pressure to ensure they'll return public space where the current stadium stands.

You no like, Lavrov? Then retreat all the way back out of Ukraine, including Crimea, and return all the children you've taken hostage. Slava Ukraini

Mamdani: When I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region. And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept.
