Two things in one... I wrote about the 2025 Blue Jays after their excruciating World Series loss ruheedewji.com/2025/11/06/f...

And I played a pretty decent sax solo among other things survivalclub.bandcamp.com/track/maybe-...

I already had no interest in seeing Song Sung Blue but I've just learned that it's not even a Neil Diamond biopic... it's about a moderately successful Neil Diamond tribute act

“slop” is such a good and useful word in media discourse. AI slop, corporate slop, influencer slop, etc. Unfortunately we probably only have about 3-6 months before it gets misused to the point that it loses all meaning, but until then, enjoy it

not sure how to square ‘no one person can be reasonably expected to pay for every media subscription’ with ‘sorely underpaid writers need to make a living’ but my inclination is not to locate that problem with any of the broke ass people on either end of the complaint

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it.

So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:
How to quit Spotify
This Black Friday, here's a guide to finding the best Spotify alternative

every generation thinks their music is the best. i could make a case for the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s and convince you on each of them. music has always been good, always will be
the best music was made between like 1986 and 2002 and I won't be convinced otherwise

Right on reds are the most dangerous thing for pedestrians and drivers. They should all be made illegal.

Pedestrians should have one moment in the light cycle for people to cross in any direction with no cars in the intersection (a scramble intersection). It works like a dream in Quebec City.

Maybe I’m being overly sensitive but I don’t like how many bands have been sharing “North American tour” posters with a list of cities that are all in the U.S., especially during a year when Trump has repeatedly threatened Canadian sovereignty

This was a lot of fun. Listen to Matt and me on this great podcast!! 🎙️

There are a thousand half-empty parking garages like this one in Toronto but people will still say this because there isn’t free street parking directly in front of the specific store they want to visit
