Tracy Chapman's debut release is one of the most important albums ever created, and I am delighted to add this 35th anniversary reissue to my collection. Only sad that it remains as relevant today as it was when originally released. #musicsky #vinylsky #music #vinyl #colouredvinyl

"The Story and the Engine" has been the best episode of the series thus far, and not just because of a certain someone's 5 second return. #doctorwho

My proper introduction to Kraftwerk occurred when I was watching The Wedge on MuchMusic one very late night in the very early 2000s and the video for Trans-Europe Express came on. It quite literally lulled me to sleep (to be rudely awoken at the end by the veejay talking). #canadianthings

I am a 100% anti-monarchist, but I am also 100% in favour of Charles coming to deliver the Speech from the Throne at the end of the month. The symbolism is vital right now. We already have a King, Donny, so kindly piss off already. #cdnpoli #never51

The true horror of "The Rule of Jenny Pen" is that we all become old and infirm and it can be truly horrendous. Rush and Lithgow give great performances, particularly Lithgow, who is positively atrocious as Crealy. 8/10 #filmsky #horrorsky

Just superb. No notes. 10/10 #phantomoftheparadise #filmsky #horrorsky

Today's trailer makes it clear that "Weapons" is going to be much more than a modern day Pied Piper story. Much excitement. And I'm hoping the inclusion of the Barbarian story on the website means we'll be seeing Mother again.

Waking to see that Polievre has lost his seat. I'll certainly have a spring in my step for the rest of the day. #cdnpoli #elxn45

As a Dipper, I cannot help but feel bad for Singh and the party as a whole tonight, but it had to happen, so that the party can have the chance to attain new leadership and chart a new course that can bring the party back to where it should be. #cdnpoli #elxn45 #ndp

Once again, the pollsters got it wrong, and simply confirmed that "the only poll that matters is the one on election day". This is why your vote actually does matter. Every time. Never let it go to waste. #cdnpoli #elxn45

I've never been so delighted to see the Liberals win an election. Forget Trump for a moment. Poilievre would have been a disaster for this country. Despite all the justifiable disdain for the Trudeau era, I'm so grateful that my fellow Canucks put country first. #cdnpoli #elxn45

Just voted Liberal for the first (and hopefully last) time in my life. Whilst I'm a Dipper, I'm too disenchanted with them right now, and this election is far too important to vote with my heart instead of my head. Country over party. Elbows up. #cdnpoli #elxn45 #canadavotes

Happy Election Day, y'all! Now get out there and vote as if your country depended on it! (Because this time, it quite literally does.) #cdnpoli #elxn45 #vote

I started welling up during the graveyard scene and full out wept when John said goodnight. Honestly can't think of a better way to end 37 years. #theconners

Whether or not the record number of voters casting their ballot during the advance polls means a high voter turnout over all, the engagement is there, and any time a vote is cast, our democracy is strengthened. (But here's hoping Monday produces a new record.) #cdnpoli #elxn45

Much queerness. A sassy as fuck creature. Very folk horror. I do wish the vourdalak hadn't been a puppet, as it pulls you out of the tale when it's on screen, but other than that, no notes. Would make an excellent stage play. 9/10 #horrorsky #thevourdalak #horrorfilm #horrormovie

I really hope this holds for the rest of the weekend and Election Day itself. Vote! #cdnpoli #elxn45 Elections Canada announces rec... www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

As a fan since the 80s, I gotta say that the living room scene in tonight's Doctor Who made me the most emotional the show's ever made me. The Doctor wasn't the only one with watery eyes. "We're not important." Actually, we're the only ones who are. #doctorwho #lux

The fact that the CBC reporters are being protected by a line of police right now on air is deeply distressing. David and Rosemary's rage is completely justified. Fuck Rebel News. Seriously. #cdnpoli #elxn45

Any queer person who continues to support JK Rowling by buying her books or watching films/TV shows based upon her work is supporting transphobia and is a traitor to our communities. Full stop.

I have absolutely no time for anything Ford says, except when he's lobbing grenades at Poilievre, then I live. #cdnpoli #elxn45

The notwithstanding clause is the greatest evil of our Constitution, so of course Poilievre will use it. And he won't stop at sentencing, either. #cdnpoli #elxn45
