“You Can See Everything” is absolutely worth the hype. Two women behind me said to each other: “I feel sick.” “I feel sad.” Me, I don’t even know. I’m gonna need a day or two. Glad I watched it with a crowd, though.

The line from right wing commentators who dislike Trump seems to be: this is a repudiation of Trump, and not any of the things he did, the Democrats should continue the man’s policies while somehow rebuking the man. To be fair, they only had one night to come up with that one.

For the past two years, and long before that, Trans folx have been telling everyone that their rights are not up for negotiation, election or not. Democrats refused to listen. Be angry at the candidates who ignored them, not the people begging to have their human rights respected.

“Look, no one loves bikes more than me. But they don’t belong on major streets. That’s why I’m committing to build bike lanes off a short pier into the lake. Why are you booing me!?!”

If the comments in my neighbourhood FB group are an indication, this is 100% accurate. They’re mostly mad about the property tax increase and don’t care that it was necessary. I don’t know that she’ll ever win these folks over.

Despite working for an “urbanist” publication for over a decade, I’ve phased out using the term. For one, it’s very academic. You could forgive anyone for not being familiar with it. There’s some intellectual gatekeeping there.

It looks a lot like Bradford’s support comes largely from the affluent, privileged, property-owning class, in spite of a grievance-based campaign. People who are actually struggling, who actually have something to grieve about, want Chow.

The NHL has gone out of their way to kill a great game. They treat fans with abuse. If you need to watch a game - find a pirate network. If you find a pirate network share the links. Only a sucker would pay into this corporate abuse. Better yet support women's hockey. So much better.
