we've never had much reason to articulate this before a.i., but a reason we enjoy literature, art, music, etc. is that we know it is one human mind trying to express something fundamentally human and otherwise inexpressible to another human mind

This does feel very consistent with modern market finance strategy - immediate influx of cash/share value boost that leads to long-term enshittification and loss of agency.

I think of Superman not as a power fantasy, but as a fantasy of the powerful as really good people. I kind of feel that way about Dolly Parton, too.

I also think it's worth comment that she lived her life such that her death isn't gonna interrupt the good she was doing. That's so cool.

Played a lovely sunset show in DTK last night and a bride and groom rolled up during the first band's set and danced together alone at the front.....to a song about breaking up with your shitty partner, with the refrain "just do it"

Playing a gig today and it's an hour and 10 minute drive, followed by 30 minute setup and soundcheck, followed by 3 hours of music, followed by 30 minute teardown, followed by an hour and 10 minute drive home...for which I will receive 1 free beer and $100.

Really great show at Rock Island Lodge in Wawa tonight. A house show vibe but in a cabin right on Lake Superior. We took a break to all watch the sunset together. Friggin magical. Those moments make it all worth it.

This is the exact right messaging. And it is, also critically, vastly different than the messaging of the opposition. It feels like you get an actual choice in the future you're voting for, not different flavors of the status quo.

While Canadians giggle with schadenfreude about explosive diarrhea in the U.S., recall that Budget 2025 includes ongoing expenditure cuts of $211M, $89M & $81M to Health Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada & the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, respectively. budget.canada.ca/2025/report-...

We are experiencing the world's worst air quality, and we're getting absolutely no response from leadership other than announcements about building more pipelines. Do not normalize this.
