That’s basically what it is going to be it in terms of making music..rich kids. The music industry is not a place you can earn a living any longer.

Take the top rate to 90 percent, where it was when things were”great”.

I’d love to have a Canada Post mobile phone plan.

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

So, just to be clear Trump is not Hitler. A closer analogy would be Kaiser Wilhelm II. Raised in a family without love, thick as a plank, and loud mouthed at the same time.

It’s like waking up to fireworks every autumn with this lot in the back yard.

Every predator movie is about how the prey must turn the tables and become the hunter.

In a time dominated by predators, there’s a lesson there.

I’ve missed entire swaths of popular culture. I’ve never seen an episode of SNL, or love actually, or big bang theory. Just to name few.

This 10 times over for Canada. As things start to slide even more in the US we should be considering the flow of Mis/disinformation into this country.

A famous and inspirational episode in my mum’s old neighbourhood. And a lesson for us all.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.
