In 2013 I hosted a Canada Day event with The Hip in 🇬🇧. This fella walks up to me and told me how much he enjoyed watching the conversations I had with Christopher Hitchens over the years. And then he showed me the ink. Today is Christopher’s birthday. In a world of madness, I miss his voice.
Of all the things I’ve seen said about the [other] halftime show. This seems to be the [most] accurate.… the people who want “their own” halftime show are the same people who wanted their own drinking fountains.
Which one of you has the bat signal for Dick Pound?
There’s a special kind of gift disguised as inconvenience. A flight hiccup. Dropped me into Addis Abba for much longer than expected. Adventure time. I’ve listened to enough Bob and Peter that I needed to see the palace, the tomb’s and vibe of Ethiopia. And…. Shiro in Ethiopia is 🔥
Food bank visits in Canada are at record highs. That used to mean “emergency.” Now it means wages, rent, groceries, and debt are misaligned. When a country normalizes food banks for working people… it’s no longer charity. It’s infrastructure

“No one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark. You only run for the border when you see the whole city running as well” - Warsan Shire On #WorldRefugeeDay, remember: no one chooses to be a refugee. But we can choose our response. ‘Us and them’ are fictions. There should only ever be ‘we.’
I don’t think it’s a solution to every problem, but one thing I am certain of is that kindness, gentleness and loyalty can make an awful lot possible. That’s the way this fella and I have been with each other from the start. It’s a good day catching up with my legendary brother, Rick Campanelli
This fella knows how to lead us in a wobble across a broken bridge of uncertainty because he’s guided by the good ghosts. Love this record. Heavy Glory by Elias Rønnenfelt. A basement tapes spectre of Shannon Hoon is definitely one of those guides. music.apple.com/ca/album/hea...

Earlier this month I celebrated 10 years of human rights work at the Canadian Museum For Human Rights. It was an honour to speak on a panel about how I once protested the museum and now walk with them frequently. Plus getting interviewed by @strombo.bsky.social was pretty damn awesome too 🌟

I've been reading a lot of Shopenhauer lately and everything he writes is so salient to these times, it's hard to pick one quote, but "It is difficult to find happiness within oneself, but it is impossible to find it anywhere else." is a good one.
Today is world philosophy day. What a mess we’ve made 😉 “Do not wait for the last judgment. It comes every day” - Camus “The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance” - Socrates. “They laugh at me because I am different; I laugh at them because they’re all the same” - Cobain
Flipping through Naked Lunch again and I remain haunted by this thought. Hits me now the way it hit me then, a long time ago lol. "You were not there for the beginning. You will not be there for the end. Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative” William S Burroughs
