In no time at all, AI will be able to mine our thoughts. I am already practising thinking bland, anodyne thoughts so I'll be ready. Maybe it's already happened. I heard one of my former profs saying something straight from the recesses of her brain that slipped out unbidden That could be me.

Justin Trudeau is dancing in Home Hardware because he's ecstatic that he's no longer Prime Minister of Canada.

Need to be able to keep hammering Chris Alexander over the Islamophobic snitch line and it's hard to do that if you're accepting the endorsement of Islamophobes.

That torrential rainstorm was in honour of Sally Sturdy, who with her superb sense of timing crossed over into eternity today. Her only son, Hugh, has been like a rock through it all. He moved from Toronto to Cambridge six years ago, giving up his home, life and job to make her last years glorious.

Early this morning, I had that work dream: you know, the one where you're trying in vain to get to work and you're late and you're not even in your work clothes. It was ghastly. I stopped working in June of 2005. That's right: 2005.

We have used up our quota of heat for this summer. August will be unseasonably cool. September will be unreasonably cold. And so on.

Yesterday I was invited to the "Ram Rodeo" in Erin Ontario. I had to ask, which kind of Rams are involved? Dodge Rams? Or Sheep Rams? Because if the former, I can't go. I might have an asthma attack from all the fumes. But if the latter, I'm coming. Fumes be damned.

You know, I have a Master's degree and I cannot figure out how to make my printer be online again after a scheduled overnight software update on my Mac. You need a PhD for that stuff now.

For international women's day I'd like to be real. Women in trades are dealing with some really messed up stuff at work. Stuff you probably don't of. Death threats, false imprisonment, attempted murder- and this is happening on big union sites even. My latest: canadiandimension.com/articles/vie...

The trades remain a danger zone—especially for women workers

This year opened with the murder of a Minnesota woman by ICE agents. Last year closed with a workplace murder of an American woman tradesworker, also in Minnesota. This is not mere coincidence. The sa...

I didn't know when I awoke that the day was going to plummet, with a message from Tom, the husband of my friend Alice Kazmierowski, to tell me of Alice's death. She'd been living with leukemia for nearly 4 years, cared for by Tom & the good folks at Princess Margaret Hospital. Alice was beautiful.

Really the only completely sympathetic character in the whole Barry and Honey Sherman murder case is one of his legal counsel, Shashank Upadhye. I was really taken with him: his integrity and his generosity of spirit. He's a genuine human being, and pretty humble and funny, too.

Summertime at Moss Bank. My sister, a textile artist, made this postcard-size piece for my upcoming bday. Moss Bank is the beloved little boathouse on my rural property. Formerly The Adam Vaughan, renamed some years ago. I thought of Termite Spa, but far too subtle. So Moss Bank it is.

I'm not a television person whatsoever, but I'm obsessed with the Sherman murders, so last night I subscribed to Crave to watch their 4 episodes of a riveting documentary by @kevin-donovan.bsky.social. I thought I knew every detail going in, but I was wrong. Holy, it's good.

I am in such a bad mood that if someone even looks at me sideways I am likely to run screaming into traffic. I was wrong to come onto here today. Everything makes me furious. Especially my relatives and most of my friends.

Newark. I'll just say I have an airline pilot nephew who was flying out of LaGuardia, 36 miles from Newark. That's what, 5 seconds? I nearly had a heart attack. I opened the windows and went back to bed to die.

What's this I hear about Adam Vaughan shilling for the Therme spa at Ontario Place? First he joins Navigator, and now this? I named my little derelict boathouse The Adam Vaughan after him bc he argued for a rebuild, not a teardown. Now it's renamed Moss Bank. No regrets whatsoever.

I lost my phone. I went to buy bagels, came home and it was gone from my back pocket. All depressed, I went to brush my teeth and think about what to do. There, on the edge of the tub, was my phone.. An end of Passover miracle.

Last July I moved from the country to the city. Been back a few times. Last week coming back to the city was so tough. Last evg a country neighbour texted me that beavers had dammed our shared pond and it was overflowing. I am so desperate to be part of the crew that undams the damn dam.

Anyone watched a 1995 film called Harrison Bergeron? It sends a chill down my spine, considering I'm watching it in 2025. It's available on YouTube. Cast with Christopher Plummer, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin etc.

I couldn't have predicted that the immediate solution to Canada's dire shortage of medical professionals lies in America. The New Underground Railroad consists of physicians, nurses, surgeons and other highly skilled professionals coming north across the border to a warm Canadian welcome.

I started watching a movie my cousin in London UK recommended for a saxophone piece playing in the middle. Never got that far. Had to turn it off bc it's so creepy, also timely. It's called Harrison Bergeron, and has a million great actors in it. Maybe 1995ish? I don't know.

Just in case anyone remembers the murders of Honey & Barry Sherman in 2017, the incredible Kevin Donovan has a break in the case tomorrow morning in the Star (page A1, above the fold) and he'll also be on 1010 AM radio at 7:20 a.m. discussing it. No idea what he'll say. I won't sleep tonight!

My Toronto credit union has merged with a larger credit union based in Windsor. It's like when your small high school gets absorbed by that huge high school and you have to be bussed there. I like the c.u. model but Windsor is too close to the cesspool. Any Toronto credit union recommendations?

Another thing that has changed irrevocably: the dry-cleaning business. I took two dresses in last fall. First time in over 5 years. $70 each. Today I took a coat in, to a different dry cleaner. $147.41. Who knew the tariffs had kicked in already?

What did Chantal Kreviazuk just sing? "That only us command"? Did she mean "That only WE command" or "That command(s) ONLY us? Not being pedantic here; I really want to understand what she meant.
