Canada is much smaller than the US, but Indonesia's population is like 280+ million people. I think an American culture that is actively anti-immigrant and encourages people to own guns "to protect themselves and their lived ones" relies on, and often encourages, a mass distrust of fellow citizens.

One of the worst things of the 21st century has been how we stopped teaching rhetoric in schools enough , to separate it from charisma and stage presence

There are so many Republican crooks and creeps still in run-offs after Tues, I'm hoping the nation gets a better look at what Dems are dealing with here.

I love the emails asking for their client to be interviewed by Alex Reagan. Like, they think The Black Tapes is an actual NPR type show? Well come on in and tell us about your favourite haunting.

seems bad

Ah yes, Mr Tough Guy With A Bullshit Story now breaks the bone of a fellow vet protesting this latest chapter in the Forever War.

Boosting this one for you @cxorlando.bsky.social! I loved Angela’s previous novel and so excited about this follow-up.

Thank you, Christina!

A Facebook post of an old tv on a portable rolling stand in a classroom with the caption: “You know the teacher was hungover when they rolled this out.” And a former student (name blacked out) tagged “Paul Bae” in the comments.

I rarely log into FB but when I do I always get some of my favourite former students calling me out.

If you're not specifically researching Nazis and hate movements, you really need to stop posting on X.

In particular, no D politician or progressive group should be on X now. Get the hell off. You endanger the people who come to see your posts there AND you expose yourself to Nazi propaganda.

ICYMI, a nationwide book ban bill has been introduced in the States, targeting LGBTQIA+ voices, especially trans voices.

Sold out for now but they’re getting more. Here’s the link (so far, Canadian orders only): mcgillcampusstore.ca/heated-rival...

We all understand why billionaires owning communications is bad

Will we transfer that to knowing why a majority white media that suppressed voices was bad too

And hold at the same time that folks need arts, culture and storytelling so bad

They will find a way

“It’s a really good school!”

I’ve been wearing it nearly every day while walking my dog in our village waiting for someone to yell “What the fuck is McGill?”

Middle aged Korean man in grey McGill hoodie looks into camera with a mock hopeful smile and fingers crossed on one hand with a MacBook on his lap. He’s sitting on a tan sofa by large windows. His white staffy is curled up asleep in the corner of the sectional sofa.

Writing an email to my alma mater to remind them that I helped break up a bar brawl at Gerts campus pub in 1988 when I was VP of the hockey frat so wondering if I may have one of their Hollander Hockey t-shirts when available again, merci beaucoup.

The BC Human Rights Code exists to protect people from discrimination and exclusion.

I’m appalled that the BC Conservatives support repealing protections for people based on race, gender and ability.

In British Columbia, human rights should never be up for debate.

David Ellison will soon control CNN. In response, I wrote to Democracy Docket subscribers today about the importance and urgency of building a strong independent media ecosystem.

Trans people want to have sex and make art and talk about sports and do all the shit everyone likes, and instead we have to think about Nazi freaks all day. This sucks eggs.

About once every few weeks I find myself thinking of the nightclub that Lenny Kravitz had built into his Parisian home.

It’s been so unseasonably warm in Vancouver my daffodils have come out very early. I even made our village newsletter! 😂

Please admire my beautiful little girl—a model.

That’s quality parenting.

She has great taste!

I’d focus on the two years I inspired one of my best friends to quit his gang and pursue his dream of being a sushi chef while I quit my teaching job to pursue comedy. We both got there. (And I’ve already pitched this with a big name Korean actor.)

Charlie has since gone on to become one of Canada’s premier comedian and writer and one of my closest friends. (He’s not on this app but shouting him out anyways.)
