Not looking forward to the avalanche of disinformation about the new pontiff. Does he own a MAGA hat? Does he have an MS-13 tattoo? Does he prefer Philly cheesesteak to a Mr. Beef?

When this is all over, I hope there’s an international agreement to send all recordings of his incoherent ramblings into outer space. I want to spend my golden years not remembering he existed.

I keep seeing folks online saying Tesla will bounce back. A 71% drop is more than just an earnings disaster. It’s an indictment of leadership. Who wants to invest in Musk now?

Latest North Shore polls. The squishing of the Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing riding into Sault Ste. Marie looks to be turning a blue tide against Liberal incumbent Terry Sheehan. And yes, “squishing” is the technical term for riding amalgamation. open.substack.com/pub/shorerep...

Reading a Yale University Press title right now (very entertaining), and it has to be noted this book is ridiculously heavy. Absurdly thick paper stock. Maybe because of colour plates, but surely not necessary. Printed and bound in China. You could kill a person with this brick.

You work like a dog to pay a Toronto mortgage, raise kids & send them to university. You save aggressively for decades because arts work is low pay & no pension. Then one American asshat tanks your retirement in just two days. Seriously, fuck that guy. Arrest him if he ever crosses the border.
