Steps in Trump war rhetoric:
1. We don’t have to play by the rules in war
2. We won the war
3. If you go by the rules I just made up we won
4. No fair
I haven't been on a bike in 3.5 weeks and it's killing me! I had a knee replaced and the Dr. insists I can't get on my e-bike until after my follow-up appointment in another 2.5 weeks. Of course I was released to drive a car as soon as I was no longer taking opioids. Priorities.
This is everything
« Crashed » is doing some funny work here.
😕
whole buncha ppl who make 8 figures waking up today with epiphanies about why the woke geography teacher spent all that time in high school on straits and canals
(NB: I really hope no one outside of Quebec who reads my shit operates under the impression I'm bilingual or is trying to learn French from my dumb ass. My brain is on fire, I speak 1.75 languages & swear too much from both in the other. Just accept it makes no sense unless you're here & move on)
...good. Like an atheist religious experience. I'm terrified if I saw them now it would be nothing like that and it would make me sad.
...if you have "The perfect crab moment" you fucking savour it and let it be. One say in the late 80s or early 90s I saw Circle Jerks and 7 Seconds at Foufounes (pre first renovations, when the stage was like 30cm tall and Gros Michel stood in the middle). It was.. crying, screaming, throwing up...
I didn't go see them when they were touring about a year ago. I have a theory that I call "The perfect crab moment". It comes from a trip to SF where I had the best crab ever at Fishermans Warf (I know, touristy) and then went back for more a day later and it was FUCKING AWFUL. So my theory is...
trump saw how much you guys loved Big Boat Stuck and tried to join in by doing All Boats Stuck and now suddenly its not funny anymore? make up your minds
Have any of you seen 7 Seconds recently? Do they still play with the urgency and emotion they did in the 80s and 90s?
You know, Kevin Seconds had it right all those years ago: Use your head. Be aware. Give a fuck.
... everyone in Montreal, and our Federal government is a center right, ex-central banker who seems to believe that profit and commerce = morality. So yeah, EVERYTHING IS NOT VA-ING BIEN, PANTOUT.
I think about this altogether too much. Basically, if one lives in Montreal and is a lefty, one is left with the distinct impression that the vast majority of those who live around you are fucking idiots. Our Mayor hates us (and may not live here), our provincial government are fash who hate...
"Whilst"? GO HOME DEEPL, YOU'RE DRUNK.
I gotta say, I am really struggling to enjoy Peter Mansbridge’s Good Talk ever since he replaced Rob Russo with Bruce Anderson.
I listen for Chantal Hébert anyway, but Anderson is so intensely pro-Carney that I actually find his insights veer away from genuine analysis into partisan spin.
A thing I’m noticing, for all this looksmaxing bullshit, they’re all starting to look like slightly better and worse versions of Tate.
Oh the current Pierre isn’t even from here and is federal. And he’s, by leaps and bounds, one of the most awful people in politics. BUT he’s like .. you know the gap between ping pong in the rec room and table tennis at the Olympics? Quebec provincial politicians are that much more shit.

I point to almost every politician of any consequence in Quebec. They range from « benign useless » to « sociopathic, racist fascists ». It’s fucking awesome.
I used to darkly joke about how you could tell the US was having another adventure was when European, Asian and Canadian squadies started coming home in bags. This, with the passing of the years, had become less and less funny.
The US expecting the world to bail it out of its war of choice is the height of imperial arrogance.
We should all tell America to go fuck themselves. Over everything.
Okay well and whose fault is that
A picture of our snowy backyardlet, featuring about 20cm of wet, fluffy snow. It wasn’t there yesterday. We are not amused.

A pretty nice day to be inside doing some freelance.
Watching a couple of them work a few hundred sheep up a hill to a new paddock was one of the highlights of my time in Aotearoa.
