Frankly, I expected better from a FIFA Peace prize winner

Get Your War On cartoon

Having flashbacks to the last time

a cartoon girl in a blue dress is kneeling in a field holding a bag Alt: Peanuts character Lucy in a blue dress is kneeling in a field holding a football while Charlie Brown runs at it. She pulls it away at the last minute, he misses, and falls on his back.

Every time I start to think Carney *might* not be as shitty as all of his previous actions have shown him to be...

The problem is...

When you don't defend your principles. When think it is too risky to stand by them when they are really needed...

They really aren't your principles after all. You are what you support.

So US Allies are supporters of US terrorism. That's what they support when it is convenient.

Back in the early days of Trump I, a Twitter account labeled "President Villain" took Trump quotes and put them on comic panels of the Red Skull

This pic was from late February 2017

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Fuck Trump. Fuck the puppeteers behind him. Fuck the GOP, especially congressional Republicans and quisling Democrats, who enabled him. Fuck the people who voted for this, and fuck the media for never reporting on him realistically.

Fuck them all, for they have truly fucked us and the world.

Question for Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre.

What will you say when these attacks accomplish nothing at all, except the death of innocents?

Anything? Or is that when you will choose to say nothing?

Operation Epstein Fury

I got the most Torontonian of order numbers on my coffee this morning on the way to work #YYZ #Rush

A large, male, brown and white tabby cat lies on his back, legs splayed, exposing his belly.

I have never known a cat that likes to lie on his back like this so much. I guess he trusts us. Or he's just fat and doing this is comfortable for him on the heated floor...

I was torn between A Camp and Jenny Toomey, so...

Especially since I was second on that first draw... 🙄😭

Here's something I haven't listened to in years - Jerry Harrison's "Casual Gods". I'm not sure that I ever owned a physical copy before (I know I had the follow-up "Walk on Water" on cassette), but I'm realizing that I listened to this album A LOT. Good to have a copy of this again #NowPlaying

First time I saw the B-52's was at the Barras in '92 or '93 when they toured "Good Stuff", with Julee Cruise doing an amazing job filling in for Cindy ❤️

I don't often miss Glasgow (even when it's -15 in Toronto), but I just saw the B-52's post on Instagram about playing the Barras in June with support from the Rezillos and... Damn. www.instagram.com/reel/DVJiGLp...

YouTube video by derek jensen Split Enz BBC Sight & Sound 1977 longer version

I'm not sure I've seen that shot before. That line up tho is more likely '75 (with original lead guitarist Wally Wilkinson, front 2nd-left). For '77, the BBC Sight & Sound concert is a must-see (with a very young Neil!) youtu.be/YLjgF0897Bw?...

Split Enz c.1977. The wrong look & the wrong music entirely for an assault on London in the high summer of Punk, but a fascinating band all the same. They of course came through. I saw them with Neil Finn onboard in 1980 & 1981 in sold-out theatres and they really were blisteringly good.

Hurray for the Riff Raff details upcoming live album, Live Forever, and shares a folk-rock rendition of their 2021 track "RHODODENDRON" recorded at Old Town School of Folk Music.

The album cover of John Martyn's "Piece by Piece", featuring a distorted photo of the artist taken through a bubbling glass tube full of water. The cover stands next to a vintage turntable.

Added another John Martyn album to the collection - "Piece by Piece". It's from the late 80s and can sound it at times, but it fits a Sunday evening mood quite nicely. #NowPlaying

Oh great. Now I need to make sure my Canadian-born kids all have UK passports if they ever want to visit? This is all just a cash grab since a UK passport became essentially worthless after brexit, right? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Y'know how audiobooks can either work or *really* not work, depending on the narrator? I'm listening to Frances McDormand reading (sorry, "performing") "Tales of the City", and it's (unsurprisingly) reeeaallly good. share.libbyapp.com/title/1250496

I learned early on that, whatever media I tried to interest my oldest kids in, they'd run the other way. Finally tho', I've arrived in my true geek dad era, getting to watch the recent Demon Slayer anime movie with them! 👹

(I'm not holding my breath on them coming 'round to my music tastes tho 😁)

I've a clear memory of "The Wind in the Willows" being the first "big" book that I read by myself when I was about 8. I read it again as an adult and had much the same reaction as Eleanor and Alasdair here - it's not written as a kids book, and I have no idea how I made it through the whole thing!

I just saw that via the wiki! "Features the least believable Mummy make-up in horror history" according to the Radio Times 😬

The Jewel of Seven Stars - Wikipedia

The wiki on the Bram Stoker story has both listed as adaptations, so no wonder it sounded familiar.

Only one had Valerie Leon tho...
