No time and money to travel far anymore. Music, food, cinema, literature, and thrifting are my aeroplane.

As the cold of winter settles in, I shall escape it by continuing the desert theme in my bedtime reading. From Ondaatje to Herbert...from historical fiction to science fiction...sand is sand is sand.
Nice one-dollar find at the end of 2025 in the wilds of Ontario's Blue Mountains.

Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.

The most transparent administration in history is now hiding both the complete Epstein files and the complete video of the Sept. 2 boat strike from the American people, only releasing the parts of each that they want you to see while concealing the rest.

Schiff: "I think that all of these strikes are unlawful. They are a form of extrajudicial killing. These boats are not invading the US in an armed assault ... the fact the administration may put a group of organizations on a list doesn't confer on a president the ability to kill them at sea."

Quentin Tarantino is a sloppy bitch who runs his mouth unprofessionally and doesn't hide his foot fetish. It's true. But pretending his movies suck is silly. You may not personally like them, but he's not a hack.
I also kind of miss the time when not everyone was media trained to death.

Never forget Polytechnique
The Polytechnique massacre on Dec. 6, 1989 was a mass femicide that left an indelible imprint on all Montrealers.

Here the Justin Trudeau to Mark Carney transition for the Liberals in Canada is a warning to anyone declaring Labour already dead. A party ruthless enough to chuck out a blunderingly unpopular leader with a replacement that has better policy and politics instincts can rapidly turn things around.

Pierre loses to Trudeau, Pierre loses to Bruce Fanjoy, Pierre loses to Mark Carney, Pierre runs to Alberta and bribes Damien Kurek to step down to snag his seat, Pierre says budgets bad, Pierre loses confidence vote in budget. Pierre will lose his leadership review. Pierre, proven loser for 20 years

Intéressant article de la BBC qui raconte comment au Mexique on se mobilise pour sauver les chauve souris... et la tequila qui dépend d'elles ! Même pour les gens comme moi qui détestent la tequila, c'est une bonne illustration des interactions entre espèces
Why tequila depends on Mexico's bats
Conservationists and communities are planting thousands of agave plants to protect endangered bats, and the future of Mexico's tequila production.

Woke up thinking about Onibaba (1964).
What a film.
Two women survive in warring feudal Japan by tricking and murdering samurai, and stealing their belongings.
But when someone gets between the two women, the eldest tells of an evil curse that may be on them both...
Machete's way up for this one.🔪🔪

Anything sacred the right wing in Canada touches falls victim to their incessant dog-whistling. Their biggest victim, by far, is the poppy. Putting one on just feels different than in previous years.

@lbc.co.uk I hate what has become of the poppy. It really isn’t about remembering any more.
You can remember without wearing a poppy.
It has become nothing more than a symbol of political smugness, used by the right to beat people they disagree with.
It is ridiculous to say it’s disrespectful.

CTV giving airtime to Stephen McNeil about how to negotiate is like getting advice from a turd on how to smell nice. He left healthcare and education in NS in shambles through stubbornness, animosity, and half-baked ideologies. Ironic his appearance was followed by Alberta teacher strike coverage.

If I were to cut my divorce album à la Blood on the Tracks, I would call it: 2 Years of Terrible Ds, as in nightmarish concepts beginning with /d/. They are, in some semblance of order: Dad with dementia; Divorce; Death of Dad; Death of Dog; Denial of Access; Downsizing the family home; Depression.
