The resumption of hockey season means I get to reacquaint myself with all my favourite MacGillivray Injury law firm members.

I’ve always found Rush dull as dirt but this doc about Neil Peart is enjoyable. I love to watch people making music even if I don’t enjoy their music.

Super cool. Here’s a class traitor dispatch: when you start to make more money you start to pay more taxes. The size of the checks you send to the govt have big numbers on them. It’s unsettling. You need a strategy & that strategy is SUCK IT UP MOTHERFUCKER.

It's alarming how transparent everything can be, artists says something that clashes with the corporate interests of a major AIPAC donor who owns these stadiums get immediate dismissal, without much fanfare. I get that Ed Sheeran/Pink are the easy targets of ire, but that's not the biggest problem

Former Canada Prime Minister Jean Chrétien: "I have message for American friends...never mistake our generosity for weakness. Never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination. And never, never mistake our kindness for softness...We bow to no one." Jean Chrétien is an absolute gem 💎❤️🇨🇦

The fact we have an executive class that doesn't know what to do with the Looney Tunes or The Muppets really sums up what a joyless, barren world they inhabit.

She also really debunks the common justifications about religion, region, and age. Your grandparents and parents have shitty values because they have shitty values, not because of anything else. They could do better. Anyone can use their eyes to see the world and have the correct read.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

We rarely get a wealthy person who's committed to doing actual good with it, and who's an ally to the queer and trans community to boot. RIP Dolly.

Dolly Parton helped more kids learn to read than possibly anyone in history. Just one of the absolute coolest people ever.

When the book you’re reading randomly refers to today’s date.

Segment of The Rest is Noise, referring to the date Alban Berg completed a composition and early events of WWI.

Shout out to the super friendly and helpful folks at Long & McQuade in Halifax. My experiences there have always been good but today in particular, looking to upgrade Kid B’s guitar, they had such warmth and enthusiasm—it’s just lovely.

There is no ethical consumption of Harry Potter. And not in the usual "no ethical consumption under capitalism" way. In the "your fandom is now comprised of hate symbols" way.

I drove 8 whole minutes to see this last night and it was worth every moment of the journey. Seriously though, I went anticipating an enjoyable spectacle and left incredibly impressed by the film.

I can’t track it down online but I’m pretty sure I heard a song this evening that rhymed “unanimous” with “bananaless.”
