sjbrot @sjbrot.bsky.social · 06/10/2026The CAQ defeat in QC is so resounding. The ruling “compromise” party not electing a single representative would be incredible. The leader is set to her lose her seat by 500 votes. The runner-up in their leadership race is coming in third in his riding. 020
sjbrot @sjbrot.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I learned that Jonathan Franzen is 67 years old yesterday when I looked it up after seeing a picture of him looking old at a 25th anniversary event for The Corrections. This definitely made me feel old, but the fact that I’m concerned with Franzen’s age should have been the first sign of my ageing. 040

sjbrot @sjbrot.bsky.social · 21/09/2026We were watching Rumble in the Bronx tonight — rules, by the by— and an early villain played by Marc Akerstream stood out. I looked him up out of curiosity and it runs out he passed at 44, hit in the head when they blew up a rowboat for the Crow TV show. 110

sjbrot @sjbrot.bsky.social · 29/07/2026Back in the day, I had a friend who had an off-again, on-again thing with a guy. Once, she told me he had just been caught trying to bring weed across the border to a Phish concert. It always seemed so silly for me to feel obliged to *bring* weed to that show. 130

sjbrot @sjbrot.bsky.social · 08/07/2026Just saw an ad for a Samsung washer/dryer combo that uses AI to tell if the clothes are dry. The ad was an AI video of Aladdin. He was close enough to the Disney version that it could be actionable. The Genie looked like Jason Momoa. 90% sure it said “lamb” instead of “lamp” at least once. 010
