Bonus! I have as many days left on the job as the number of digits to get through to you, per this obscure β€˜80s melodic punk outfit from Toronto; I used to own and love this cassette!

I saw Silent Rage at a sleepover as a wee lad and it scared the wet blueberries out of me. Still does today, but the Chuck Norris, White Wine and Light Jazz Lovemaking montage is its own kind of horror

I think Radio Radio’s Belmundo Regal is one of the most consistent albums of all time and is delivered in a hybrid French-English patois called β€œchiac” that exists only in the Maritimes.

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

I have as many days left on the job as the number of tons one resentfully loads, fully conscious that they are being ground between the millstones of capitalism, falling deeper into debt and owing their very soul to the corporation that exploits them:

I have as many days left on the job as Alice Cooper was years old when he noticed lines forming on his face and hands, realizing he had a baby’s brain but an old man’s heart, which frankly sounds unsurvivable so I’m glad he went on to such a storied career in rock:
