When I started making this little record a few years ago, I had a longing for singing about my home. We finished this thing with the rising tide of the time we find ourselves in, our stories, our places- Nightfalling is Canadiana. Recorded in Halifax and Vancouver. Enjoy, salute.

This El Niño is a going to wreck a tremendous amount of shit and be the monster in every region’s climate for the next year and no one has the bandwidth to think about it let alone to prepare.

Angine de Poitrine are really really absolutely incredibly good. I got lost in the noise last night. Transported. They break through the ennui of now with joy and humanness (even though they’re rock space aliens).

The catalogue of damage the Trump regime are doing to human health, science, climate, conservation and ecological protection is incalculable. It will stand as the worst of the worst of his and his followers crimes.

US friends are coping through memes but I can’t comprehend the idea of the administration actively working to hide the health status of public officials. I mean gawd, what is the other stuff they’re deciding Americans shouldn’t know?

No matter what you or I might think about the editing at the NYT these days, or how much Trump pretends he doesn't care, he *does* care a lot about what the Times says. So I'm really glad they are saying this. 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/o...

Bob Dylan is 85. He talks about time as if he can see it.
The worst thing about being 80 is that you still want to say yes to everything, but the world moves without asking. The old fire in your heart still tells you to do this and that, but your body says we already did it.
Also, nothing surprises you. It sounds like a luxury but it's not, and also you've run out of illusions. People treat you like either you've solved something or you've lost something, and you haven't. You see life repeating itself everywhere.
The really worst part about being 80 is that you find, at last, you've got an understanding of something that might have altered everything in the past, had it come at a time when something could still be altered.
When you're young you think that time moves forward. At 80 you know that it doesn't, it stands still. We're the ones that move.

worth remembering the 2014-2015 ebola outbreak in west africa. the united states was fully engaged, deploying nearly 3,000 service members to help with logistics and health care, and had the Intelligence community studying and mapping out road, air, and water transport routes to limit the potential spread.
important example of effective us leadership and international engagement.
