Can confirm - saw it yesterday

Here's the problem with buying a nice fancy keyboard that I love to type on: I now want to buy more nice fancy keyboards that I would love to type on. This is bad.

Really trying to catch up on work today and this guy is NOT helping!

I used to use old cards as bookmarks and then leave them in the book when I finished it. Found this one in an old book today, and realized that I have absolutely no memory of this place.

While I didn't love the Odyssey, I do love that it inspired me to read Latin again! Today, read this letter to Tacitus where Pliny says if future generations care about them at all as writers, it will be due to their study, hard work and respect for those who come after.(Reverentia posteriorum)

Canadian Parliamentary Report from 1992 says the proposition of the neutrality of money is "one of the oldest and best established in the history of economic thought."

Also, hate to say it, but every word in her blistering review is correct. This, to my mind, is the central point as to why the moral of the film falls flat.

This is how you know a classicist wrote this review.

This is the view outside my window right now in Toronto. Are these the end times?

This is how Duke sits on an office chair.

You cannot walk on Dundas West without their approval.

Or you can get the low salt variety. Apparently they've been doing this for 100 years, which I'm supposed to be impressed by, but it's just SALT AND POTATOES!

You can go to Wegmans and buy a bag of Salt Potatoes! Guess what it is? Potatoes and a bag of salt!

Pro tip no one asked for: to get back into writing, I got this new, fancy mechanical keyboard, and I'm telling you this thing is magic. I cannot walk by my desk without wanting to write a little, if only to hear those keys! I've written something every day since I got it.

Banks, the court said, were "dealers in credit". Distributing credit convertible into currency and usable in the place of circulating money is what banking is. Money creation is definitive of banking. I think the only time Canadian courts have accurately defined banks in Canadian law. /end

Dan Rohde @danrohde.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

What federal power was the measure wrongfully impeding? not the powers over currency, promissory notes or legal tender. All of them are under exclusive federal jurisdiction. But the one the court felt this measure was infringing was the federal power over "Banks"! Banks! /

Dan Rohde @danrohde.bsky.social · 27/01/2026

Could be I missed something! It's passages like these that I think are oversimplified. Money created by banks is not so simple. And without the first point, I worry you don't get to the second.

I know hardly the most important thing going on, but the snow in Toronto is serious

What a fantastic special edition, with some top-tier scholars of monetary history! It's always worth reading @thetimeisnye.bsky.social on Ottoman Empire and Shweta Banerjee on the East India Company.

An econ prof at McGill even tried to prove Canada was off it, in spite of the official line, by redeeming some Dominion Notes.

Dan Rohde @danrohde.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

This made me laugh out loud. How is this possible?

Dan Rohde @danrohde.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

And Google now thinks the stuffy and Duke are the same

030

Dan Rohde @danrohde.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

Duke found this stuffy that looks just like him, and has decided no one else is allowed to come near it anymore.

Wow, Lon Fuller is really channelling his inner Coase in this footnote. (And it was published exactly a year before Theory of the Firm.)

RIP Frank Gehry - a Toronto legend who actually went to my kids' elementary school. They have framed pictures up in the office of when we visited back in 2004.

Contracts profs, what case did I go over today in office hours? (And pardon for my handwriting!)

@jeffpassanbot.bsky.social is right about this. Barger made history with his grand glam last night, but Captain Kirk was the MVP of Game 1. @torontobluejays.bsky.social #worldseries
