Who Loves The Sun?
Who cares that it makes plants grow?
Who cares what it does since you broke my heart?
Who loves the wind?
Who cares that it makes breezes?
Who cares what it does since you broke my heart?

Ezüstpart SZOT IV Resort,
Balaton Lake, Hungary (1978)
Designed by architect István Márton, this modernist complex was built as a trade union holiday perk for Hungarian workers during the socialist era. The photo by fashion photographer Bruno Dayan captures a model in a yellow outfit on a balcony with plexiglas privacy panels in autumnal colors. She's facing a lone tree with marcescent leaves.

“More often than not” and “…not if, but when” are just two of my favourite expressions. What are yours?

Respect for anyone who feels they need to cancel a sub for any reason. That said, it seems *some* are viewing news orgs as far more monolithic than they are. That’s a failure of secondary & higher ed, which teach little about how journalism works and breaks down.

The story I have received the most interview requests for in 2025? Fucking ostriches. I did one early on, about the unlikelihood that the SCC would hear an appeal. And then an avalanche of requests for two months, all for one of the least important stories you can imagine. #Journalism

On Friday’s CBC The National ostriches occupied the number 3 report segment, getting about 2 minutes and 30 seconds of coverage.

The Statcan jobs report which came out the same day? 24 seconds.

Make of this what you will.

Trump is a fascist: We are the resistance
American politics took another dark turn this week. U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a full-frontal assault on democratic norms.

Friends, can I ask a favour.

Our latest Honest Government out is a serious warning to Canada from Australia, which acts as a cautionary tail about the harms of the gas (LNG) export industry... Hence the cameo (spoiler alert) from our own aussie climate criminals, Woodside Energy
