An actor named Ezra Knight was a regular customer at the record store in the early 1990s. He got a lead role in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern at Studio Theater. I went and wow wow wow. I'd seen Shakespeare and Chekhov by then, but hadn't known a living playwright could write like that. Bravo, Stoppard.

Love can take many forms.

As an Afghan vet this hits close to home. I’m glad they were able to get out. I’m sorry how it turned out.

💗 So many things I do & things I create are tributes to my mum. “Now that you’re gone, who will I go to for advice? Who will I celebrate my achievements with? Who will pick me back up when I fall? So many questions that I will carry with me forever. So many regrets. So many memories. So much love,”

Much excitement and consternation today as visiting dowager doggie Luna saw neighborhood cool cat Luna for the first time. Despite the uproar, our feline intruder was unperturbed.

It's interesting to see the resignations at the top over the BBC misrepresenting Trump, when in 2018 no one at the BBC resigned after Newsnight clearly portrayed Jeremy Corbyn as a Russian stooge at the Kremlin. The BBC head didn't resign, nor did host Emily Maitlis

My brother just returned from 7 weeks in the UK touring historical sites & encountered several chickenshit undercover 🇺🇸tourists wearing 🇨🇦 flags and pins. He also met some savvy Brits who made a sport of outing them after hearing their drawls. Even braindead MAGA know aren't welcome here or the UK.

I have believed this forever and thank you @jenelliot.bsky.social 💙🙏

Sign of the times. Seeing so many depression era recipes and here’s CNN on what to do with stale bread. Millions of working people are going needlessly hungry in the richest country on earth.

Yup.

Two things can be true at the same time, Canada. 1. Yes, I’m disappointed with some of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s approaches so far, particularly around climate action, and his definations of “nation-building.” We should expect better. 2. Carney is still light-years better than Pierre Poilievre.

I LOVE that this woman in Georgia decided to terrorize her neighbors with the Fall Of Democracy and Trump's Ghouls (in poetic detail) instead of your usual demons and monsters. She said, "It's scary because it's true."

There is a myth that housing isn't getting built because of red tape when the truth is the private sector isnt interested in building what we need, and governments have abdicated their responsibility to build housing.

Canada has scrapped the digital tax, firmed up the borders, unilaterally dropped counter tariffs, signed off on the golden dome, increased NATO spending. And we've received disrespect and more tariffs for our trouble. It's time to counter not cower, appeasement doesn't work, obviously. #cdnpoli

I wrote about how Border Patrol taking the lead in immigration operations mirrors a shift that happens often in concentration-camp regimes, including Nazi Germany, and some ways we can respond.

Is this real?

Hey, quick answer, from 2019: "But by Pitzer's measure, the system at the southern border first set up by the Bill Clinton administration, built on by Barack Obama's government, and brought into extreme and perilous new territory by Donald Trump and his allies does qualify."

Pineapple Upside Down Cake - I used fresh pineapple and substituted blueberries for the usual Maraschino Cherries which somehow makes it even more gay.

Dog sitting the lovely dowager dog Miss Luna and regaling her with stories about my past.

I started Degenerate Art a year ago today, in the last weeks of the before times. Today, I wrote about the most important history and current events I've covered related to our rapidly expanding authoritarianism, and what the future is likely to bring.

Canada Post. Defend it!

Guess what? The grovelling isn't working. #cdnpoli

last night at bedtime I was telling my son (3.5) that I love him, im glad he’s my kid etc, and he grabbed my face in his little hands and said “and you are a very good driver”

Almost a whole episode of #CBCTheHouse and not one mention of the fact that there’s a for-profit arm of Canada Post called Purolator. 🤔 Also quite tired of the uppity tone about how much panelists don’t use Canada Post. Labour abusing US-owned Amazon devotees, I guess.

A nice shoutout from @jfallows.bsky.social here for my essay "Mind the Gap," along with a trip down memory lane to revisit the drama around Loretta Lynch, and how it compares to the Bondi debacle today.
