Matt Brubeck seated playing cello and Caylie Staples standing singing into a microphone. They are surrounded by bookshelves and there are people seated watching them
Studied under Matt Brubeck at York 15+ years ago (🫠), absolutely wonderful to see him and Caylie Staples this evening
you, literary, worldly: Bene Gesserit
me, dumb: Be-Be-Bene and the Gesserits
I'm always surprised when other people don't see them this way! Probably accounts for a lot of the stress people feel when texting tbh (if everyone's idea of the thing is mismatched)
Incredibly funny that the Brier winners are presented their gold medals by the COO of Montana's
mildly annoyed I have to wash a sweater panel to do some armhole shaping math, but it's EVEN SUNNIER now and the Brier final is later, so I think it's a wash
watching curling, knitting sweater, full sun coming in through the windows. 100000/10 ☀️
“Music for Six Seven Musicians”
I get very nostalgic about old arenas, and I love Canadian hockey, so I knew I was going to have to get to the Saddledome before it got demolished. defector.com/its-a-dome-t...
as a calgary-born defector subscriber: fuck yes
as a jazz school attender, a crowd of incredible music nerds is, for better or worse, somewhere I feel very comfortable 😌
tonight I saw the Bad Plus with Chris Potter and Craig Taborn, and they played a whole set of American Quartet (Keith Jarrett et al) tunes. fuckin... insanely good. absurdly good. nice to be surrounded by jazz freaks again, it's been a while
Starting soon, we’ll begin sharing automated power outage alerts on Toronto Hydro’s X account (formerly Twitter). Whenever an outage affects 500+ customers* for more than 10 minutes, you’ll see it posted directly to our X feed in near real-time.

I think if I died and found out that my descendants had used AI to write my eulogy I'd invent haunting from first principles
there should be a name for the specific point in a company's growth when they learn the very hard way that they need to stagger emails/push notifications. "how big is your company, pre-self-DDOS?"

wolf parade is the hottest band in the country. there is a new gorillaz album in the window at sonic boom. enjoying my second run at the year 2004
anyway I'm two weeks from 37, and I sure hope I've got a lot of decades ahead to be annoyed about this 😌
god that is bleak. visual social media is truly fucking with us, nobody knows what any normal person of any age is supposed to look like
to me it is boring as fuck to cede your whole life to the lies of advertising. you have a wrinkle and your body needs more maintenance than it used to: inevitable! you stop being curious or interested in anything new: not fucking inevitable actually
god I am about to LOSE it about everyone I know complaining that they are too old at the advanced age of 30-something. for now I will reshare this perfect @angelicabastien.bsky.social column instead angelicabastien.substack.com/p/i-am-so-fu...
At your service! And happy belated birthday!!
lol they are SO ugly
really fantastic moment we're living in
I have been lowercase into curling for a long time, watched the Scotties every year forever etc, but now I am uppercase Into Curling, so... sorry for my upcoming social media content
Anyway I think everybody should watch this thanks bsky.app/profile/suss...
