#Springsteen - a really great movie.

I saw Springsteen in Stockholm in 1981; a truly legendary concert that lasted for 4,5-5 hours!

I slept in a queue outdoors for a couple of days to buy tickets - pre-internet era (winter).

This is the greatest story ever told:

A person in Hamilton, ON stole a city bus and then proceeded to make the stops along the way, allowing passengers to board and exit freely. The person actually refusing someone looking to board with an expired pass. 🔥🔥

WTF NB Power - why are you allowing a US company to do this? 🤬

We need to fight back against these power and water hog data centres, they are horrible for the planet.

Tonight we remember our dear friend and bandleader Cleto 💙

I would love to do a class on Bruce Springsteen’s America (the article author teaches one at Princeton).

His songs helped rear me in 1980s midlands Ireland too. Another fine motherlode of toxic, repressed masculinity.

We're booking hotels in Spain right now and we're choosing lovely boutiques with all the room amenities you could reasonably want mostly in the 100-150/night range. The most expensive was Barcelona, which has a significant tourist tax, and that ended up being about 250/night. Canada is nertz.

What movie villain is a horrible person but an absolute joy to watch onscreen?

Excited to see AI's results in the Canadian government!

The Rich List - Macleans.ca There's a new billionaire topping our list this year. Here are Canada's 40 wealthiest people—and how they made their money.

This should make us all grab torches and pitchforks and start a revolution. Crypto billionaire Changpeng Xhao, ex-con recently pardoned by Trump, is now Canada's richest person according to the annual @macleans.bsky.social ranking: macleans.ca/longforms/th.... #cdnecon #canlab /2

That an ex-con, enriched by a speculative activity that is both utterly useless & environmentally destructive, in cahoots with a despot who threatens our country, now tops the ranks of Canadian capitalism, proves we've gone right off the rails. Time to think big about change.

Measles cases per 100K is also a map of how frequently the premier says "parental rights."

American foreign policy is now mostly about acquiring resources to support the over-inflated tech industry. Good article.

The burden of sacrifice is always on the back of working Canadians. The tax breaks on those who don’t need it is a damn shame.

More subsidies for the billionaire Irving family.

Doesn't seem like a good time to be proposing huge water-sucking AI data centres in New Brunswick.

Parliamentary committee revises order to share federal grant applicant data A parliamentary committee has amended a controversial order that seeks 25 years' worth of data on researchers who applied for health and science grants.

The Feds amended their egregious data mining operation at the Tri-Councils but they pretended it had nothing to do with our protest! I’ll take it.
