Exactly, verification matters.

If you haven’t got reason, go hard on emotion. It’ll play well with the separatists, they’re all feelings and no logic.

We thought there’d be a better perspective on differences and working together, but our kids were targeted by some of the others, ending with eldest being physically attacked. They’ve both got great social consciences, might have been able to learn that less painfully. Huge regrets for us parents.

We had a choice between two schools, a “community school” (very racially and economically diverse with extra programs around indigenous culture and social support for kids at risk) and a smaller regular school. We chose the community school. I really wish we hadn’t.

Fun fact: There’s really no such thing as an introvert or extrovert. It’s a gross oversimplification of how people tick. We are all ambiverts, really - most people vary from one side to the other depending on factors like health, how much sleep you’re getting, circumstances you find yourself in, etc

Insufferable! I’m a documentary producer, we’ve had people bomb shots on location and refuse to just let us get on with things, but never had someone film it. What a complete piece of shit that guy is.

I’ve heard of it, but I don’t know if I’ve ever seen it. I may have to revisit. We’re at a point right now where it’s very difficult to make this sort of film, people want a dash of hope. And you can’t really blame them given the givens at the moment.

I haven’t come across them before. The website looks interesting, lots of foreign films, a little Canadian stuff. And it looks like they want me to download an app. Which, I’m not going to do because I already have too many.

Maybe he needed to be with someone intellectually unchallenging after his run as PM in a complicated time.

Proper usage would be “used as the soundtrack to/of” - my opinion.

Leslea M @lesleam.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
We don’t - we talk about “scoring” a film, the result being the soundtrack. I don’t think I’ve ever heard the word used as a verb in industry circles.

This is an important distinction. AI is good at finding patterns, humans are good at interpreting them.

Drinking milk is the least common form of dairy consumption - various forms of cheese and yogurt are and have been used for millennia, and largely avoid the risks of drinking milk straight.

Very good column, worth reading. The fundamental point is very important: we’re going through something right now where, on the other side of it, whatever happens, we can’t be back where we started. The difficulty is convincing enough Americans that this is the case to act accordingly.

I’ve advised Helsinki, Finland a few times in the past, and among the many conversations I’ve had with the Finns, we’ve talked about what it’s like to live right next to an aggressive dictatorship like Russia. I’m not the first one to say it, but Canada needs to be vigorously learning from Finland.

To paraphrase the 1998 Supreme Court of Canada reference re: separation - provinces don't "belong" to their residents, they belong to Canada as a whole. Referendums have no legal authority and provincial governments cannot unilaterally act like they own their territory and people. #cdnpoli #ableg

I’ve given up pop except for a special treat, so go for the regular cola when I indulge. I’ve never been able to get past the taste of artificial sweeteners in diet pop.
