That album stands out in their discography, for me. My old basement band's sound had a lot of unintentional similarities. I barely knew of the band's existence in 93, but by 97, J'd fallen for Love Like Blood, even as the band was breaking up, and never really played like that again.

The New York Times reviewed internal documents showing Homeland Security has investigated more than 150 nonprofits that help Americans register to vote, four weeks before the midterms. The targets aren't people who voted illegally. They're the groups that hand out the forms. x.com/swd2/status/...

There *should* be enough GPs that you can choose between several. Including PoCs. But, no, we'd rather support a boutique university for White Men, who only contributes 50 doctors a year. Healthcare here is going down like the Titanic.

THIS! For almost 45 years, the Writing has been On The Wall, but our Dad thought he knew how the World Worked. I was fatherless by the '82 Strike, and could see for myself--as I entered the labour market a decade later--that Steel was Dead. By 2012, I was telling Mark Richardson, who refused to see.

In the 90s, I used to refer to my 'career' in Ontario's then-burgeoning casual labour market--think: meat market with work boots still on--as 'Working at the Bowling Pin Factory'. I never liked typing up resumés or CVs, and the mental image was more fun.

I'm struggling with walking any meaningful distance, lately, despite how much of it I still do. Not agonizing; just sore and awkward. Thinking Osteo? Good Thing I live in Ontario in 2026, with our "Universal Healthcare" system. *OHIP in the tracks of a mobility scooter* *crickets*

That was the name of my weather-based superhero idea, sometime during the 80s, and yes, it was a dumb whytboi pastiche of Storm and Thor and a few DC b-list weather wizards like Black Lightning. I promised myself I'd fix that before developing it after flunking artschool. Still procrastinating

I need a dinner plan and my fridge is almost empty. DSKI has been married to this idiot for 21 years, and I still can't treat her to dinner. I also need someone local who can lend me a distortion pedal for a Sunday noonish gig at Open Streets in Hamilton this weekend. Nirvana covers. DM me maybe?

DSKI got some help (and one huge cock-up) salvaging the apple pie she baked tonight. Quite miraculously, it turned out near-excellent... if a little rough-looking. Savoury-sweet and holding together surpringly well.

Slept most of the night and morning. DSKI is still sleeping. I got up at 6:22AM to feed our two beautiful house cats. Went back to bed. Kinda heard a kerfuffle later--knowing our cats, I'm betting 9ish--but everyone settled. 10:55AM, woke up to give our cats their lunch. 12:26PM, coffee making time.

Almost no one on my bluesky feed knows my spouse and I IRL. Few know what we've been through--both before and after our marriage 21 years ago next Thursday--or what we've had to endure. Not even sure if you'd care if you did. But I'd be willing to ship you an original abstract painting if you...

Feds could introduce new labour legislation as soon as next week: sources
A senior government source tells CTV News that plans are underway to introduce such legislation following a review of the Canadian Labour Code that began in April.
