A mostly clouded sunrise perfectly visible through an indent in an out of focus brick wall on the right, a white fence following a gravel road into the horizon on the left, a large tree leaning over the fence silhouetted against the sky.

A blurry but perfectly circular rising sun seen through a notch in a brick pillar on a country road, to the left of which a white fence stretches into the horizon, the orange of sunrise spreading across the lower portion of the sky.

Apparently there's a sunrise... every single morning??

But… if you hadn’t brought all of those games, maybe you wouldn’t have had *the one game you played*… you never know which game will be chosen and therefore every game you bring is justified.

I’m a Canadian journalist, and this is genuinely frightening. Power is held to account by journalism - so what do we do when the journalists themselves start disappearing? Even as a Canadian, Mamdani offers me incredible hope for a proper fight against these kinds of things.

Americans rallied for Jimmy Kimmel. Do the same for Mario Guevara Atlanta journalist faces imminent deportation for reporting the news

Jimmy Kimmel's worst case scenario was moving from prime time to a podcast. Mario Guevara's is being shipped to El Salvador and facing more of the persecution he fled 20 years ago.

If that happens, the chilling effect will be impossible to measure.

Hot take: cars have gotten so powerful that it doesn’t feel like they’re operating at a sufficiently manly RPM when driving the speed limit. So, ironically, that gender-affirming car or truck feels emasculating unless speeding, which has big downstream costs to society.

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life:

1. Late night bike rides on my farm
2. Finally getting a tricky drum fill right
3. Meeting others who appreciate Dead Poets Society
4. Ice water + a shower after a run
5. Taking a perfectly focused photo on a manual lens

Good news: Just arrived in Toronto for #TIFF, coming from Winnipeg.

Bad news: Cameras aren’t allowed at TIFF πŸ₯² which makes sense, but that means I’ll only be taking photos at the place I’m staying, since it’s a 45 minute bus ride from the screenings…)

You’re right. I didn’t vote liberal, but I understood the fear around electing Poilievre. Unfortunately, our system might as well be a two-party system like the states, which is why we need proportional representation and ranked ballots like @fairvote.ca talks about.
