Damn. This hits pretty hard. SCTV was a huge part of my late teenage years and probably why I became an actor.
O’Hara was an amazing, thoughtful actor, who often - like many of her SCTV cohorts - could play unlikeable characters, that still created empathy or even endearment for. Not an easy feat.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Mark Carney gave the best speech at Davos by far. He understands the situation with clarity while others prevaricate, appease, and send late-night “Dear Donald” texts or call him “daddy.”

Not content with merely, exposing his feet to those unfortunate enough to be his seat-mates, the Odious Detestablis does the full “Rochester,” thus incurring the ire of the flight crew and adjacent seating rows. A vile but well-played move for this inconsiderate beast.

All the people in his orbit are a bunch of dimwitted cosplayers, with zero knowledge or interest in how things actually work, it’s so fucking tiresome. Why couldn’t they just get this out of their system in elementary school, playing war with gun-shaped sticks in the woods, the way most of us did?

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Today is a good day to remind yourself of beautiful moments in your life, big or small. For instance, I was just remembering the first time I heard one of my own songs on a commercial radio station. It was while I was peeing in the restroom at a Harvey’s hamburger restaurant in Winnipeg in the ‘90s.
