Always loved how angry John Fogerty sounded on this; now I’m smitten with how Margaret Glaspy has found its bereft heart

Sadly, no. I hope it goes well!

On the latest podcast?

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag.

Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

Tweet from Ella Devi: canvassing for @ZohranKMamdani in the east village today and the actor who plays dr. strugis in young sheldon is in my canvassing group!! Photo of Ella with another canvasser and Wallace Shawn

On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable

The Rue Charles Baudelaire in Paris has undergone a major makeover, giving a safe space to children around their school. It is one of over 300 "rues aux écoles" in Paris, showing the success of their green city project.

I fully expect to see him at the Jets vs. Blues game on January 20th.

No corner coffee shops: Toronto committee waters down neighbourhood retail plan It’s the second time in less than a year councillors balked at allowing certain businesses to open on some residential streets

"Neighbourhood interiors were never intended for commercial activity", says one letter writer. To be fair, this is true, if you toss the entirety of human history and modern day Earth outside North America in the trash, and think that urban planning less than a century old is ironclad natural law.

I am constantly amazed at how angry and entitled people get about parking. These emails this week have accused me (personally) of discriminating against a particular religious denomination. A few prayed for my immortal soul and compared me to the devil. The attacks have been vicious and personal.

I have been relatively quiet on here this week, because my office has been dealing with a barrage of email from people who attend a particular church, upset about the addition of paid parking on Saturdays nearby. BTW: there 525 free parking spots within the 400m zone (and 202 spots within 200m).

I was honoured to play violin on the soundtrack for NFB documentary, The Nest, made by one of my oldest friends - the brilliant Julietta Singh. #Winnipeg

Old Lady felt bad, and said "I'm so sorry" to the officer. She was then charged with resisting, with the state alleging she intended to harm the officer, and her apology was offered as evidence of "consciousness of guilt."

That's why you say nothing about your case to ANYONE except your lawyer.

"Why can't Kat talk to Tara if she's innocent?"

Let me tell you a brief true story.

A while back I represented an elderly woman who had been stopped by cops. The cops decided to search her car, and Old Lady consented. She accidentally stepped on a cop's foot getting out of the car.

If absences for religious celebrations are not allowed, consistent application of the law must mean folks will work through Christmas. 🤣

My 11-year-old officially works harder to accommodate people at his birthday parties than the Quebec state.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Pictures of cute little restaurants on Dovercourt that fit in nicely on the tree-lined residential street.

It’s ironic that she uses Pizzeria Badiali and Taverne Bernhardt's as “examples of the disruption retail can cause” because I always admire the little restaurants on Dovercourt when I’m visiting Toronto.

Rob Jetten looks on course to be the next Dutch prime minister.

Quick reminder that he was once the nation's climate and energy minister:

"I work every day to put the Netherlands on course towards a climate-neutral society by 2050 at the latest."

Quite the contrast with Geert Wilders...

Developer Core Urban … working their usual magic. The 1856 and 1911 Coppley’s clothing building in downtown Hamilton being reborn as 96 residential and hotel units with over 40,000 square feet of commercial space, including restaurant, bar, coffee shop, and event space.

A little ballpark with middling attendance. It is surrounded by pine trees. There’s a canvas tent in the corner.

So Yesavage, being a rookie, played his first major league game in SEPTEMBER. He spent most of the year in the minors. This very May he was he was playing in this ballpark in Vancouver.

He starts at Officer and then rises to Companion in a single year.

The Blue Jay moustache guy is my favourite.

And yes, I did have to look up his first name. #BlueJaysBandwagon

Blake Snell reminds me of Richie from The Bear.

During a speech about protecting voting rights (and sharing that his own First Nation father was sometimes denied the right) by the Premier, the MLA for Red River North, Jeff Wharton, openly mocked Wab, saying “wah wah”.

We should all stand up to this blatant racism. Jeff.wharton@leg.gov.mb.ca

oh just straight up gutter racism!

Thinking about writing a book about Jews in 20th Century American Music and the cover will be photos of the Gershwins and Yo La Tengo and the title will be “From Ira and George to Ira and Georgia.”
