We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

I think it would be pretty fun if, whenever someone would write "THIS" underneath a post they vociferously agreed with They instead wrote "Quite."

This article for @thetyee.ca is fantastic and wonderfully timed as I have just been thinking about how Vancouver seems to be afraid of standing out, fashion-wise--and yet whenever I'm out and about in period dress after a tour, so many people enjoy the hat & bow tie. Wear what makes you smile!

I genuinely think the reason execs were so certain AI could replace other workers is that they know it could replace them and they just assume everyone else does as little real work as they do.

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%. While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired. Let's learn more. 🧵1/10

The image is a black-and-white political cartoon depicting a man in a suit standing behind a counter labeled "Republican Platform." He is holding a bottle labeled "Untaxed Whiskey, 20¢ Gal." in one hand and a piece of cloth labeled "War-Taxed Common Cloth, Tariff 84%" in the other. Above the counter, a sign reads, "If you don’t see what you want, ask for it." The cartoon, signed by W.A. Rogers, appears to satirize the Republican Party's economic policies, highlighting the disparity in taxation between luxury items like whiskey and essential goods like cloth.

Actually, while we're on the subject, Matt Disero had some stuff to say and he's bloody right. There's an incredible amount if homegrown talent in Canada. "Buy Canadian" isn't just for groceries.

If you don't enjoy the difficult process of making art then you'll never be an artist. The gratification of art doesn't come from money, fame or awards. It comes from doing the work and realizing a vision. If you have to circumvent that process then you'll never know what it's like to make art.
