Bought myself a “Didn’t die of complications from pneumonia” gift last night, one of the greatest albums ever made - a 2 record set of Bossa Nova standards from Brazilian exiles in France during the dictatorship (Nara Leão with the guitarist Tuca, who also gave us ‘La Question’ by Françoise Hardy)

New piece over at Macleans, on how the Toronto and Vancouver condo crash isn't isolated to Toronto and Vancouver, and isn't isolated to condos... and why it's likely to get worse before it gets better.

I keep seeing posts about how we wouldn’t have MAGA if these men had fathers who loved them.
But I think it’s more true to say we wouldn’t have MAGA if these men had been taught all their lives to value their mothers.

Atmosphere by Joy Division is one of the best tracks of the last 50 years. Anyone opposing, come at me.

There are all sorts of ways to use the "saved posts" function on BlueSky. I use it to flag longer videos or threads I want to save for later, and to flag actions I want to take. I'm going to make a habit of reviewing my saves each weekend so important things don't fall through the cracks.

I wish more adults could be like my toddler, who can’t tie his own shoes or say a four word sentence without struggle, but understands not to hurt people when they tell him they didn’t like it.

Just a note- I’m really not feeling like recapping Golden Globe outfits tonight .. and everyone who might do it with me is otherwise busy.. most importantly Heidi @wiredferret.bsky.social leading the fight for civil society in MN .. so unless it’s a standout- you aren’t going to see anything.

This salt-glazed technique ceramic jar was created by Thomas Commeraw, a formerly enslaved man who championed pottery in New York City. Born in 1772, he is one of the several artists featured in my current book project. This jar is on view at the Smithsonian NMAAHC in Washington DC #slaveryarchive

This 20-million-sun fugitive is breaking the speed limit at 2 million mph AND painting the void with a 200,000-light-year contrail of newborn stars. JWST’s confirmation proves the violent slingshot theory: galaxies don't just merge; they play cosmic billiards and sometimes the 8-ball gets ejected
James Webb telescope confirms a supermassive black hole running away from its host galaxy at 2 million mph, researchers say
JWST peered at the glowing trail of stars left behind by a candidate runaway supermassive black hole deep in space, revealing new insights after other telescopes looked at the event.
