Pennie Smith photographed Paul Simonon of The Clash at the New York Palladium, September 20, 1979.

She made one of the most famous images in (punk) rock history.

CBC can be so embarrassing “Should Canada become the 51st state? Here’s some of the cast of Dragon’s Den”

That question wasn't framed that way in the interest of 'objectivity' or 'balance'. It was deliberately framed that way to foment outrage and generate engagement, which has zero to do with journalism. Disingenuous BS by hanomansing and his cbc team.

You know that question was framed to foment rage and clicks.
Despite whatever you're 'planning' for the show, you are rightly being dragged for the framing of the 'question'. you and whichever low level producer writes your tweet headlines deserve all the backlash. Don't blame audience for reacting

I was also made for this.
I grew up in a household that wasn't allowed Betty Crocker cake mixes.... because my grandfather was Chairman of Robin Hood Flour. #BuyCanadian

Annoyed to find out something called the "Women In Music Network" is scheduled to give her a *She Rocks* award in 12 days. 🙄 Hope they will rethink that one.

I have held AP in suspect disregard ever since she was outed for crowdsourcing local musicians to play w/her for that ever-exploitive currency, "exposure". Sadly unsurprised that she also exploited vulnerable young women (unpaid) and fed them to her creep husband. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince,
And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!

I keep waiting
I can't ditch twitter/X until the cat gets here
