I spent the summer trying to understand what makes Mark Carney's government tick. What I found is a C-Suite obsessed with efficiency — which is trying to ignore what's deeply broken. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

Justin Ling: Who does Mark Carney really listen to? I asked the insiders
It’s become clear that the prime minister would much rather circumvent problems than fix them.

Being middle-aged is weird, cause you spend your youth exploring subcultures and filling your head with esoteric stuff — and then one day you realize you’d rather just listen to Pet Sounds.

I know AI isn't the prime issue here (though it is involved) but I wonder if this will increasingly become common practice for media orgs as AI proliferates.

Everyone is dunking on that "Choosin Texas" article. I for one applaud the writer’s optimism that we all still live in a shared reality and are not in fact each digging through our own unique wet stinky hole of culture.

One reason I struggle to get into a lot of modern jazz is the drumming. That very bright, forward sound, with some hip hop and EDM influence. I don’t like it! I want a drummer who sounds like he’s falling down the stairs, or like he’s going to be shot if he stops hitting cymbals.

One of the ways AI has made life a little bit less joyful: you used to see a video of a dog on a skateboard and it was delightful! Now you see it and your first thought is, "is that fake?" You can never enjoy a dog on a skateboard again.

I never got into the Hitchhiker’s Guide when I was a kid. I’ve always loved absurdity, but the humour was too broad for my taste. I suspected my son would love it though, so we’ve been reading them. The first one is kinda fun, if you take it for what it is. But he got the box set…

I overheard a uni student saying “That DJ was ass. He was total buns.” And and then went on to call other things “Buns.” Does buns mean bad now, or was this just a weird guy?

Mike D’s first solo album came out today. The guy at the record store who’s a huge Beastie Boys fan could only tell me it’s "weird" and he couldn’t decide what to make of it. I was intrigued and threw it on. It sounds nothing like the Beastie Boys. Very modern. And more importantly, it’s good!

My thoughts after finishing this: It’s a fun, well-plotted crime novel about an art forgery scheme that gets out of hand. As a crime novel, it’s good! Good characters, dark, funny. But it doesn’t have the same literary quality as Highsmith’s earlier work.

This is kinda like if you mix Beckett and HG Wells. Some bumbling, ordinary Irish blokes accidentally meet a maniac who doesn’t believe in time and wants to use special capsules to suck all the oxygen out of the air and destroy humanity. And it’s all in beautiful prose.
