Every once in a while an author will just explain part of their whole deal, right there in black and white. Ballard:

JG Ballard, the Venus Hunters. "...just as the sea was a universal image of the unconscious, so space was nothing less than an image of psychosis and death"...

From the latest Leger poll. Increasingly clear that Smith thought she'd rein in that wing of the party and instead has created a monster by giving them oxygen. A return to two conservative parties seems inevitable.

The referendum also exposes a pronounced partisan divide. Nearly all NDP voters, 98%, currently favour remaining in Canada. Among UCP voters, opinion is much more evenly divided: 43% favour remaining, while 48% support beginning the legal process toward a future separation referendum.

Everyone's dumping (correctly) on the rank racism and ethnocentrism here, but I'd like to point out that the Democrats were never the same party after Reagan and will certainly be very different after Trump.

Alberta, the province that wanted to nuke itself.

Grabbed from wikipedia: "A related experiment, which also had Teller's endorsement, was a plan to extract oil from the tar sands in northern Alberta with nuclear explosions, titled Project Oilsands. The plan actually received the endorsement of the Alberta government, but was rejected by the Government of Canada under Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, who was opposed to having any nuclear weapons in Canada." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Teller#Non-military_uses_of_nuclear_explosions

Remember when Cherry bought an OHL team to test out his 'no Europeans' theory? It worked out so well.

The Mississauga IceDogs got absolutely shellacked with Cherry as GM, winning 27 of 272 games.

Start by hanging Trump and you will find this accelerates the rest of the undoing greatly.

"Why's it taking so long to take down the name when they put it up so fast?" yeah, undoing every single thing he's done is gonna be exactly like that, get used to it

Finally watched Lady Snowblood tonight and thought the writer Kazuo Koike's name looked familiar. For a reason, as it turned out.

My followers in the UK might find it amusing that the playbook is much the same here. Apparently the NDP has very antisemitically elected a Jewish man as leader.

Happened across this lyric sheet recently. Phil, Terry and I wrote our lines for this song in secret, only passing on the final word so we could make it rhyme. We performed this in the band with no name, which was a misnomer because we actually changed the band's name after every song.

I was so lost until I went
our love's the kind that can't be bent
and when I drank a few more beer
I took my yacht out from the pier

(Chorus)
It's no lie
I love your eyes
you're in my sights
you'll never sleep alone again

Oh baby when you stay with me
mountains crumble to the sea
if I don't stop this pain right now
I'll think of you, I'll want to howl

Baby when I hold you tight
you are a sack of gelignite
which is a place that love can reach
I love to make it on the beach
(c) Phil, Terry, Lex 1988

Got this little guy going again. Thinking I should probably put linux on it, but I think having Actual Windows on a device that small is too funny to give up. Also, it does actually run Rimworld and Skyrim, if poorly.
