Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people
really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Here’s my annual list of new music I enjoyed this past year, in no particular order;
Boz Scaggs-Detour, the guy’s voice is still as smooth as silk (degrees).
Geese-Getting Killed, popular pick amongst twenty somethings and aging hipsters. The great outweighs the grat(ing). 1/5

One more book I managed to finish this year was Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. Received it as a gift, hadn’t heard about it at the time and read it without any expectations. Was pleasantly surprised. Easy to read and easy to care for the characters. Strongly recommended.

AI was supposed to cure cancer. So far, all it seems to do is generate needlessly wordy emails, unreadable engineering reports and terrible product write ups on e-commerce sites.

Finished reading Number 9 Dream by David Mitchell, the author of Coud Atlas. Not as enjoyable of a read as the latter but full of fantastical plot twists and some interesting characters. The book jacket describes it as a mix of Dickens and Salinger, and it’s not wrong.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Caught the Steven Page trio with the CPO at the Jubilee Auditorium last night. Fantastic performance. The set list included some recent solo stuff, some BNL classics and a few seasonal tunes. The orchestral arrangements and sound were amazing. Hoping somebody recorded the show for future release.

Caught Sloan’s show at the Palace in Calgary. Two sets with songs drawn from almost their entire catalogue. Loved the Marquee and the Moon! Nothing from Commonwealth 🙁 though so I guess I’ll be back next time they’re in town.

Your daily reminder of the UCP’s corruption and the complete fecklessness of the government caucus. One would have to have zero self-respect to continue to sit in this government. #ableg

Peter Guthrie on X: "Silent Complicity It started with hockey tickets. But it was never about hockey. It was about access - privilege, power - and a government that forgot who it serves.
