From 2007, Canadian treasure The Weakerthans - Civil Twilight. The chorus just gets me *every* time. Beautiful. ❤️

"And I ease us back into traffic
Dusk comes on and I wonder
Why I'm always remembering you
At civil twilight"

Reminded of this quote from Ticketmaster’s CEO while trying to buy Rush tickets today in the pre-sale. I was bumped off the list before returning to >$800 ticket prices.

Rush means so much to me. But… nope. I’ll try again when general seats are on sale Friday… NOT holding my breath.

Fuck TM 🖕🏻

Ticketmaster boss Michael Rapino says concert tickets are 'underpriced'

"In sports, I joke it’s like a badge of honor to spend 70 grand for a Knicks courtside seat. They beat me up if we charge $800 for Beyoncé"

I did see them on the Time Machine tour in 2010 (phenomenal!) but missed the rest unfortunately. I’m glad they had an amazing send off then and I’m thrilled to see what they’ll play this time around!

Dear Yelp,

I am never, EVER registering for an account on your site, or downloading your app. And frankly, your restaurant reviews are as reliable as amazon reviews these days. Oh, and Apple? Yeah no… I’m still not clicking on your shitty Yelp links in Maps.

No love,

-Jon

I think having the “Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday” jingle in my head is a sign that I’ve overdone the social media doomscrolling a wee bit.

Please send help. 🙉

Same for us. We are supporting Buffalo and Detroit, and it wasn’t necessary to receive any gift.

I wrote another professional exam today that took me 5 solid months every night and weekend to prepare for. i think it went well! Hoping for a result back < 2 weeks.

Back to work Thursday after living in a study-bubble for 2.5 weeks.

Tonight and tomorrow?

Just breathe. 🫠

Me stressed out the night before my exam after finishing all my preparation.
