Can't believe how many years it's been between the release of the song and me observing someone making this joke on social media.

Oh man. As a kid growing up in Calgary in the 80s, Grant Fuhr was The Enemy, right up there with Gretzky. Which was frustrating, because he was such a good goalie and so exciting to watch.

This is a good thread on a discussion I have hitherto missed this weekend (not to mention having missed the song; yes, I will also claim that). This post in particular got me. Yes, it was Canada, but also, for my first 11 years, it was Alberta. And my working class parents hated country.

Sad to see the news Bonnie Greer has died. She and I shared a stage along with Laura Zahra McDonald of ConnectFutures at the very first Byline Festival @bylinetimes.bsky.social in East Grinstead in 2017. She had amazing energy and good convictions. Rest in power.

AmazedNotAmazed at the solidarity from musicians today with Macklemore and, more importantly, the people of Palestine. It is an industry that rewards a lack of curiosity in politics, and people are struggling financially, and the Sheeran ticket is a huge one. But also, its business is sensitivity.
