I finally git around to seeing The Odyssey last night and it was okay. Not great, not terrible, just okay. There were some very good moments, like the scenes with Circe, Calypso, and the sirens.

In other news, water is wet.

Mt. Baker in the gloaming.

The American Felony Fuhrer may try to destroy our economy, but Canada resists and claws ahead.

Lots of respect for Rosie, but my heart's always been with Veronica Foster, "The Bren Girl."

The sad fact is there are some right-wing nuts, er, "parents' rights groups" who would probably agree with this satirical headline.

Rest easy, great one.

This beaver needs to be appointed the federal Minister of Infrastructure.

If this actually happens and the Liberals scrap the tax US streaming services have to pay, it'll be another example of kowtowing to the Americans while getting nothing in return. It feels more and more like Carney's elbows are firmly down. This is not what I voted for. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

In a word: Courage. Footage of Terry running down the highway on his prosthetic puts me in mind of the line from @straczynski.bsky.social 's Babylon 5: In the Beginning: "No one who saw them fighting against the inevitable could help but be moved to tears by their courage. Their stubborn nobility."

Exactly this. A treaty with America's Felony Fuhrer means nothing, and any concessions to US will almost certainly put the Liberals at risk of losing the next election.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Fuck Parkinson's.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice in Chains.

Maybe Canada - and other countries - should slap a tariff on the Felony Fuhrer's bs. Every time he opens his mouth, we charge the US a billion dollars, or repossess American holdings in our country. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

American withdrawal equals an American loss. There's a lesson here.

Idiot separatist traitors being played by grifters and monsters.

Spot on. Things that are worth-while require some effort, maybe a little, maybe a lot, but it's necessary. Even a simple note to a friend, never mind full-on art, needs thought and feeling behind it, and revision to make sure you're expressing what you want to express in the best way you can.
