J. Marshall Freeman @jmarshallfreeman.bsky.social · 20hAs long as I don’t think about the climate change implications, I can say that it’s nice to sit on the back porch and do my work without even a sweater on October 1 while a hermit thrush, taking a break from its migration south, wanders around foraging. 010

J. Marshall Freeman @jmarshallfreeman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I’m listening to @bigjoel.bsky.social read from Mr. Beast’s “novel.” It’s absolutely reprehensible: a contest with life and death stakes to find THE ONE PERSON able to save our damaged world. They will be given $1 billion to spend. Beast doesn’t get that cooperation, not competition will save us. 010

But he sure talks nice. He’s Stephen Harper without the ICKY reptilian vibe. 3247

J. Marshall Freeman @jmarshallfreeman.bsky.social · 09/09/2026For years, our dog walks took us past a house with a Madonna in a stone garden shrine, lit by spotlights and behind bars. The house was sold, and one night, we found her out in the garbage. We took her home. I love her chipped paint and asymmetrical face. #photography #icon #Mary 160
J. Marshall Freeman @jmarshallfreeman.bsky.social · 09/09/2026This feels very important. It’s a kind of digital eugenics, promising to predict which segments of the population will veer into crime in the future. It reminds me of the third season of “Westworld.” 110

J. Marshall Freeman @jmarshallfreeman.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Labour Day factoid from someone in his 60s: When I was entering the job market, the prevailing wisdom was that 25% of your earnings should go to your housing. In many cases today, people are spending 40% to keep a roof over their heads. Housing shouldn't be a market-driven commodity. 020
J. Marshall Freeman @jmarshallfreeman.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Amazing concert by Meshell Ndegeocello and her band, touring last year’s album “No More Water” based on the writings of James Baldwin.

J. Marshall Freeman @jmarshallfreeman.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Think of the international optics of this, too. In 2026, Toronto and Ontario will be a laughing stock. With the regressive fossil fuel policies of the Carney gov’t, Canada must be treated as an international pariah on climate change issues. And tearing out existing bike lanes looks like madness. 120
J. Marshall Freeman @jmarshallfreeman.bsky.social · 04/09/2026There are times (like right now) when the perfidious, gleeful cruelty of people with wealth and power makes me want to give up.

J. Marshall Freeman @jmarshallfreeman.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Rush’s “50th” tour has rekindled my love/hate relationship with the band. I’m currently investigating their 1982 album, “Grace under Pressure” and noting its congruency with the Police’s “Ghost in the Machine (1981).” Synths, chorused gtrs, pretentious socially-conscious lyrics. I like both albums. 010
