I only count for half.

Musically, this is 100% my jam; I'm a sucker for new wave/post punk type stuff. Singing and lyrics, maybe not so much. Good enough for me to listen to a couple more of their albums for sure.

This is half-decent Dylan, which means I actually like some of the songs but would massively prefer cover versions of the songs. At least it's not the pure folkie stuff.

Now we're cooking with gas.
JUST IN: Judge Provinzino in Minnesota has held a Justice Department attorney in civil contempt for violations of her order requiring the return of a released ICE detainee’s ID documents. He must pay $500 a day until the documents are returned.

The singer-songwriter/folk/soft rock/songs about feelings things is just not for me. Bonus star for the kitty on the album cover.

"But Professor Ollie in contracts they taught us about efficent breach of contract so I'm just going to tell the Law Society that's all I was doing here."
"So, your plan is to tell the Law Society you were a scofflaw because it was more convenient and cheaper?"
"Ya!"
"Do you want to be a lawyer?"
This was the theory of an old law student of mine who realized parking in the reserved lot every day and getting a few tickets a month was way cheaper than paying to park in the general lot.

He was very upset when he learnt he had to report all his parking tickets to the Law Society in his bar app.

"Personal Jesus" is pretty much their big song but it's probably my least favourite on this album (and I like it just fine). They're a bit too mopey for my liking at times (I can do that fine myself) but this is an excellent album.

Karoline Leavitt better watch her back.
Kevin Durant spoke at Rockets practice today. I asked about the burner allegations. Here's what he said.

Motherfucker, your debut album (which is the epitome of "entirely mid and forgettable but relatively harmless") does not in any way merit a 12 minute 14 second long outro track. "Shoutout to everybody"? Shut the fuck up, man. Such a weird inclusion for this book.

Chef was really cooking with this one. Possibly the greatest 4-track LP of all-time.

The left is wary about technology because the truly great inventions all seem to get killed by capitalism.

Really smart by the Tories to double down on Poilievre.

I don't even hate Smoke on the Water and the main riff in Space Truckin' is pretty good but I just can't with 19-minute version of songs featuring drum solos and "improvisation" and whatnot. Just play the song like you're supposed to.

Doug Moe's teams played beautiful offensive basketball that was decades ahead of its time in some ways. Great to watch the ball and player movement.

Uh, the less said about the other end of the court, the better:

Lost a fight with a cast iron door after losing in the provincial quarter-finals to West Vancouver in Grade 12. Never ever should have lost that game (and should have played Steve Nash's team in the semis) and I still have a bent-as-hell 5th metacarpal on my right hand to remind me of our failure.

This is beyond relatable

I rolled a bowling bowl across a parking lot and into the woods. I drove home in my bowling shoes. I haven't picked a ball up since. Almost 24 years.

Wikhow, this is unhelpful.

At least your pages on how to start a cult are half-decent, I guess.
