Articulate, loud-mouthed assholes — even in the media — are still assholes. Having read a book or two doesn’t change that. Neither does dying.

I don’t get how asking for a billion from oil companies in exchange for giving them freebies is legal.

Twenty years ago, the CBC held a contest to name the Greatest Canadian (spoiler, it was Tommy Douglas). It’s an odd thing to remember now, but advocating for Pierre Trudeau was Rex Murphy.

When you see someone you follow mentioning DHH twice in a short time — non-disparagingly — you start to wonder.

Is iMovie really not a document-based app anymore? I want to have an iMovie project with only its source files saved on an external hard drive, but I'm not finding how to do that on my Mac. I could've sworn this used to be possible.

Watching Sugar. It's a bit dry, but I think I like it. Very Sam Spade-esque. It's cliché-heavy but somehow carries it off.

I've been thinking about this old Heart video I just saw the other day.

The band seems tired and isn't really rocking out, but Ann Wilson's vocal is just unbelievable. She's kind of low key in vibe but opens her mouth and just wow.

I've heard this song a zillion and one times, and am a bit tired of it to say the least but this really moved me.

Business groups are warning #Finance Minister #ChrystiaFreeland that increasing #Canada’s #CapitalGains inclusion rate will have “significant knock-on impacts” if implemented with possible “irreversible repercussions.”

Six of the country’s largest industry organizations wrote in an open letter to Freeland Thursday that the proposed hike will impede economic growth and come at the expense of future generations.

A tablet will never replicate the experience of playing a physical piano or ukulele for me. I still read physical books over using a kindle. When I draw and paint it’s with a real pencil and paint brush.

If that makes me a Luddite, then I’m proud to be one.

In my head, the goose’s name from ‘Untitled Goose Game’ is Stephen.

Stephen Honking.

There is a corner of "Travel YouTube" where there is no voiceover, just subtitles, and the occasional voices from servers and food/lodging hosts… and it's delightful. I notice my breathing and heart-rate slowing.

I contrast this with how I watch 'normal' videos. I have decided I need to watch more of these more often.
