Great discussion about Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Sperating the art from the artist. Always a welcome discussion when not infused with agendas. open.spotify.com/episode/5Zcx...

There is just no defending this. We ALL saw the posts which I bet were amped cuz I never see Cross Country Check In on my algo. So, this guy is being totally ingenuous and also suggesting we're wrong for thinking the way that we do. The CBC can be so gross sometimes.

We worked with these very cool guys on our Burner Herzog doc. Jordan is really talented, he can direct, do animation, interpret a script wonderfully and he's a banger on the skateboard! www.goodscreen.media

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

And right on cue Musk wields a bedazzled chainsaw at CPAC while pumped on Ketamine calling himself a meme and other bon mots that were cheered on by people who only a few months ago called Biden incoherent.

Musk is following Argentina's lead by cutting gov't spending at an uber austere rate. But the US isn't Argentina. www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/12...

Hate polls but AR generally leans Conservative so this is a wowza. But NDP, srsly, you gotta get real. Bow out, regroup & rebuild.

Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

I remember working on environmental issues in the 90s and being able to rely on many Republicans who defended public land initiatives. It was the Republicans who started the Sierra Club.

Perhaps it is my algorithm but reporting Holocaust denial has now become a daily event on Twitter. There are not bots but people who receive enormous engagement with huge threads and lots of jokes. It is beyond appalling. #Holocaust

For years people shared videos of celebrities talking politics. My feeds were full of inane wealthy people talking about all sorts of issues and how I should care. Now, when it really matters - silence. Thank you @mrrickygervais.bsky.social for telling them all to f*** off a few years ago.
