Sly Stone two days ago. Brian Wilson today. These guys are all in their 80s and we're in for a lot of this kind of news from now on.

This is just grim.

It's been called: Liberals win. Just waiting to see if it's a majority or minority. #CanadianElection

Drinking some Canadian whisky to calm my nerves. I don't think I've felt this anxious about a federal election before. Even when Harper won a majority I took it in stride. This feels different or has social media conditioned us to react this way? #CanadianElection

Our world is now heading for a fun Mad Max/Jurassic Park/Game of Thrones mash-up.

1. All this talk of the #11thProvince is premature. I’m not certain if the Unites States is entirely ready for provincehood just yet. I believe we need to discuss partitions and making a few of the more prosperous states provinces and deal with the rest on a case-by-case basis.

Not sure what's cooler: using a hand-held computer and portable acoustic modem to check email through a payphone in the early 1980s; or, his pipe.

A Surly Miles Davis Xmas to you. Featuring Bob Dorough (from Schoolhouse Rock!)!

Let's start the Xmas season off right.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

To anti-LGBTQ Christians: do you play on the sabbath, does your uniform mix different fabrics, do you eat pork? Not to mention slavery, genocide, subjugation of women. Old Testament has to be understood through the filter of Gospel love. And Jesus never mentions homosexuality.

Almost there.

Talking to you, #HamiltonOntario, #HamOnt.

Love's Forever Changes is easily my favourite album. I can listen to it endlessly without getting tired of it. And with the album's apocalyptic feel, the dark lyrics, and powerful playing (Love was a really great group of musicians)--Forever Changes feels more urgent and timely than ever before.

What people keep missing about an accused—with corroboration—pedophile like Matt Gaetz and an adjudicated rapist and serial sexual predator like Donald Trump is that these men know exactly what they did and what they are. That they still think they should rule America confirms them as sociopaths.

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark." That's how horrifying Twitter is right now. There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.
