Friday 5x5:

Finally got around to it and I appreciate that the U2 EP is bad in interesting ways, as opposed to both* Songs Of _ albums which were bad in boring ways.

*I do not acknowledge Songs of Surrender as a canonical studio album and did not listen to it so I don't know if it was interesting-bad or not.

normies: more Olympic hockey overtime!!!! so exciting

hockey fans: once again we are subjected to The Great Travesty

Friday 5x5 because I won't have time in the morning:

Yes, need to fix that. Was trying to go directly to player-less feeds but that hasn't been as effective as I'd hoped yet. Away this week but will take care of it early next week when I'm back home

Given the Telegraph watermark I can only assume we will disagree on most other things, but:

a very quickly deleted tweet from Joannie Rochette during the Sochi Olympics, "Il avait l'or sur un plateau d'argent. Il a pris le plateau." which translates to "He had the gold medal on a silver platter and took the platter"

Need an updated Joannie tweet where instead of taking the silver platter he took 8th

they are NEVER allowing a day break between the short and long ever again

Friday 5x5:

No Kings includes Draft Kings

both of these were so bad

the fact that our national broadcaster lets us watch every single damn Olympic event live *and* as on-demand replays... it rocks. my brain is melting out my ears from how many winter sports I have watched today. give the CBC more money, cowards

Pay to be an official olympic sponsor either generally or for those games, which lets you use the rings and associated trademarks that, at least for Rio, they defined as including that hashtag

Nevermind actual footage, the IOC had a twitter account that yelled at big accounts that used the official hashtags without paying them, including the Pope:

Congratulations on an unbelievable career to one of the best to ever do it.

The Globe reports that lawful access coming back yet again. Last version included expansive warrantless access rules. Piece notably cites to internal CSIS emails celebrating the inclusion of lawful access in Bill C-2 days before the bill introduced.

I've gone to nostalgia tours targeted to generations before me - The Who + The Pretenders, Weezer + Pixies, Earth, Wind & Fire + Chicago the first three that come to mind - but now we get this one and the BTII/DFA/Hollerado show announced last week

Tour poster - once in a lifetime 2026, "the all the feelings tour" hashtag friends forever Metric, Broken Social Scene, and Stars playing a bunch of American cities (Austin/Dallas/Denver/Sandy/LA/Phoenix/San Diego/San Francisco/Bend/Chicago/Detroit/Boston/Philly/Brooklyn/DC/Atlanta/Nashville) and more importantly Toronto at the Amphitheatre on August 7

A nice thing about being in my mid-30s is that nostalgia tours are pandering to me specifically

The fact that both are quite experienced—8 years and 12 years with CBP—is yet more evidence that CBP should be abolished and all of its agents fired. There's no way to "reform" or "retrain" that, it's just a violent gang with badges.

All the immigration lawyers I know only had good things to say about him (at least prior to him becoming MPSEP, have not checked in recently), so I don't think this is anything about him personally so much as what power and diplomacy does to otherwise-principled people

2010 Gary Anandasangaree: a human rights lawyer who showed up in Esquimalt to assist the refugees on the MV Sun Sea.
2020 Gary Anandasangaree, already an MP: 'CBSA and the RCMP dehumanized, harassed, and broke migrants while deporting a refugee to his death'
2026 Gary Anandasangaree, as a Minister:

Looking forward to it!

If it's not on here on the first of the month, I haven't listened to it - feel free to suggest albums from this year you think I'd enjoy.

Congratulations to Mark Carney on his reelection, I guess

Friday 5x5: started to go back and listen to the big albums of 2016 for their 10th anniversary because that's the year I listened to the least music from ~2003-2025 (I was sick for most of it/not listening to anything)

I can't make it to Prince George today for the early listening/release event but I don't think I can come up with a theoretical album more made for me than "Ratboys' Narrow Stairs"
