The failure of Saskatchewan's government to do its job resulted in this horrific story of false hope and suffering and death.

How many people in Saskatoon saw the Sloan show tonight because it was on fucking real. The crowd was so into it and the band was amazing. It made me rethink about getting old is going to look like.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

Watching the speech tonight by Zohran Mamdani reminded me how incredibly boring the federal leadership race is for the NDP. I can’t even be bothered to decide who to vote for and don’t tell me it’s because we’re underdogs.

Ladies, you can tell a lot about a man by the way dogs react to him. For instance, if the Police K9 is biting him, he may not be the one.

Watching One Battle After Another - this is a must see movie in the theater. I don’t know if I’ve ever watched an American/Hollywood movie with this feel or this message. It’s making me consider my own choices as a socialist and an activist. I’m not even sure if I can describe it.
