@hamiltoncomposer.bsky.social Watch this. It was a mistake to end that show.

We watched a masterful streamed performance of the Rosenkavalier Suite, played by the Berlin Phil at the Waldebühne and experience some of the most beautiful music every written.

If you know, you know

For all the Blue Jays fans thanking the team, Rogers is thanking you for supporting the Jays enabling their $5 8000 000 000 profit in the 3rd quarter as a result of their acquisition of BCE's stake in MLSE. I hope y'all own shares of Rogers.

I took advantage of the time change to go to a local garage, when it wasn't dark, waiting for 2 hours but saving some money getting the snows put on.

Every time PP exclaims that he would do better than Carney with tRump or any other issue, he should be asked "How?" Because he has no plan, no forward thinking. Just negativity and lack of knowledge, not to mention no security clearance. But he won't be asked, because he doesn't talk to journalists.

I made a conscious effort to " enjoy without clinging to" games of sports franchises that interest me. I highly recommend it.

If arena reno can be done on time, why not city projects? The private sector has moved nimbly on a $300-million TD Coliseum overhaul.

I suspect the issue this columnist addresses isn't just a local one. www.thespec.com/opinion/colu...

Regardless of the outcome, I've never been more grateful for Blue Jays in 30 on Sportsnet.

Wait until he hears that Reagan didn't trust the Russians.

In response to The Conversation pieces on forest encroachment and warming of the Great Lakes I asked AI to make a graph comparing av. Jan. temps in Toronto in 1960 and 2020. You can do the comparision. Apparently, some folks can't or won't.

Blue Jays in 30 is the best thing ever.

Hamas Is Not Done Fighting As it has in the past, the group will retrench and rearm.

Thankful we live in Canada 🇨🇦

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving weekend 🇨🇦🍁

"Venezuela has evolved from a relatively democratic and prosperous country to a brutal, authoritarian state that is now suffering a humanitarian and economic crisis," the committee said. "Most Venezuelans live in deep poverty, even as the few at the top enrich themselves. The violent machinery of the state is directed against the country's own citizens. Nearly 8 million people have left the country. The opposition has been systematically suppressed by means of election rigging, legal prosecution and imprisonment."

"When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist, the committee wrote. "Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended - with words, with courage and with determination."

Remarks by the Peace Nobel Prize committee. To explain why they gave the Prize to Machado (and, perhaps, why they wouldn't consider Orange Turd. Not to mention the nominations were closed by last January 31st...)

He keeps on with the same shtick. It's tiresome.

I was sceptical when I heard about the Alien: Earth series but it's the best thing I've seen on TV in a long time with a great score by Jeff Russo and excellent monsters. The horror is creepy rather than jump-out-and frighten. There'll be nightmares for some though, I'm sure.

It's hard to understand, even at 46 years distance, how they could run this add. It's a reminder to never depend on the good will of large corporations who would give you cancer to make a buck.

Excerpt from The House podcast, Sept 20th 2025

"the most important thing for us to do is just actually ignore anything the Americans say or their feelings or anything like that because their feelings are of no relevance and make sure we plan for a world where they are in collapse"

From Nazi Germany to Trump’s America: why strongmen rely on women at home Fascist regimes pushed narratives of domestic bliss, yet relied on women’s unpaid labor. In the US today, ‘womanosphere’ influencers promote the same fantasies

“In a CENSORED society everyone needs debates about harmless topics,” says historian Claudia Koonz. (Like make-up videos and “reality” shows today.)
Nazi Germany women’s magazines glorified housewives subservient to men and to the "nation's father". (Like "trad wives" today. U.S. is primed for it!)

I'd remind everyone that the Millerites (the ancestors of Jehovah's Wittnesse and 7th Day Adventists) sold all their worldly goods and dressed in white to await The Rapture on October 22, 1844 and we're still here. They're dead anyway.
