I've posted quite a bit on here about Jacob's work and recent publications, so I think it's important I share this. My opinions on it don't matter. This is going to be a hellish time for his victim. My focus is to continue to raise a son who never unleashes this kind of pain and chaos on another.

So I just had a really great conversation with Sara in the neighbourhood today. Between her and Jeff Palmer we have the opportunity to have a lot of city building knowledge on the next council. If you’re in River Heights - Fort Garry please consider her. saramacarthur.com

Tomorrow's importance hit home at the dinner table last night. My 7 y/o daughter initiated a lengthly discussion about residential schools unprompted full of questions and empathy. This day and the related public school curriculum are essential. Gonna go for a run with the kids next year.

Hey everybody, I’m taking the advice of every elected official I’ve ever yelled at who’s said “if you think you could do such a good job why don’t you try running for office”. Schools are super important for all of us, not just those of us with kids in the system, and I’m excited to fight for them.

Carney is truly the Reagan of Canada. A calming, paternalistic figure in a period of apocalyptic uncertainty who galvanizes the economy with short-sighted right wing fiscal policies. And like Reagan, every disaster that Canada encounters in the future will be traceable to his administration.

I'm tired. It doesn't matter if Max is right or not. "4D chess guys" are among the worst fucking leaders I've encountered. Special boys in the boardroom who prioritize the game over, you know, leading. Especially egregious for political leaders - this shit alienates voters and drives apathy.

I firmly believe any type of video review should be abolished for things like offside here, hockey, everywhere. The drama of sport is drawn as much from the human fallibility of officials as the plays made on the field. This is just pixel fucking.

I can’t fathom why Winnipeg’s public transportation system insists on shooting itself in the foot. MB Marathon this morning - maybe increased service to the university? Nope. One blue line every half hour. Did our bus show up at Osborne Station? Nope. My kids are learning that the bus just sucks.

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

The most extreme examples of
Stendhal syndrome share a sensation of
self-fragmentation. Magherini
describes the case of a 53-year-old
German man who was hospitalized
after repeatedly viewing Caravaggio's

felt "an attraction closer and closer to
an intimate sexual arousal of
ambiguous nature that invaded him
and made him feel good and bad."
Unmoored and distressed, he sought
medical attention. After treating the

latent homosexuality. Another case...
