Here's a very rough recording of a book session I did last night in Ottawa with Patrick Lennox, talking about his new book "On Treason". Any advice on editing and editing software is very welcome. markbourrie.substack.com/p/patrick-le...

Here's something I'd never heard of. "Corvette Fordite", an agate-like "gemstone" cut from the gobs of dried acrylic paint from old Detroit assembly lines. They're not making any more of the stuff because they've developed more efficient painting systems. www.rockngem.com/fordite/

Once a byproduct of car factories, Fordite is a prized, man-made gemstone with vivid color and history. No two pieces are the same. Each is a happy accident.

This quote from @drmarkbourrie.bsky.social lives permanently in my head.
Image is a quote from April 8th 2025 article from Cult MTL by Toula Drimonis as follows: Trump and Poilievre also share a total lack of respect for people who don’t completely agree with them and bend the knee. “If you’re not with Poilievre,” he says, “you’ll be treated as a non-person whose views aren’t worth listening to or considering.”

This bothers people who grew up around bullies, Bourrie explains, because it’s bullying behaviour. “A lot of women are turned off by it, “he says, “because many women have experienced cycles of abuse. I think men don’t quite get it.”

"When I clicked the link, it took me to a page with a 50-year-old picture of me, taken from a Penetanguishene Secondary School yearbook,” Bourrie told his social media followers.

I feel like people who used to work for Canadaland should be calling Jesse out. I don't think it's appropriate that he issues targeted attacks on other journalists and misrepresents reality without pushback from his peers and colleagues who helped legitimize him

I think it's both cash and ego. Brown was fading. He's near 50. He's about to be humiliated in the Kielburger lawsuit. Jesse likes to be able to draw a crowd. He's also quite dense. Sa'd is flat-out nuts, drawn to publicity/notoriety like a moth to a flame.

I agree that this is happening. And Israel's opponents are doing the same thing. This is alll-out war between them. Many extreme Israelis, and many extreme Palestinians, would kill every man, woman and child among their opponents. We talk about polarization here, but in Palestine, it's deadly.

I believe in a two-state solution and for full compensation for any land settled by Israelis. I have spoken publicly against Islamophobia and Israel's disproportionate reaction to Hamas's attacks on Oct. 7. In my opinion, the Israeli regime has, in recent years, repeatly violated international law.
