It's nice of Cineplex to remind me of my excellent taste in film by sending me a year-end roundup of ticket purchases at their particular establishments.

Dec 6 1989, the École Polytechnique massacre. I remember the shock. It's still a shocking tragedy 36 years later.

'More marmots than we have ever counted': Endangered species population on the rise
When conservationists tracking the endangered Vancouver Island marmot checked their wildlife cameras this fall, they did double, and even triple takes at the numbers they were seeing.

at church today the children's story involved the teller showing kids a plushy toy mouse & asking about dreams --what makes for good dreams? bad dreams?
--& I restrained myself from shouting out that my latest bad dream was about a mouse that looked a lot like that one, damn it, so thanks for that

Once again, I am disconcerted to be in complete agreement with a pope. Leo has called on AI companies to "cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life” & tells young people: Do your own homework.

The magnificent Diane Keaton in Shoot the Moon (1982). This portrayal of divorce scorched me on first viewing, so I avoided rewatching. Managed it tonight. Only Baumbach's Marriage Story comes close to this beautiful devastation. If It had more viewers, possibly no one would ever marry. But wow.

I think movies should have rodent warnings at the beginning. "Scenes of gory violence, nudity, smoking, and also two small mice running along a railway track." "Strong bloody violence, language, and far too many rats in a scary underground tomb-type place."
