Getting older is realizing that your favourite bands point the microphone at the audience a little too much

The path for the NDP to official party status is not looking great at the moment. They need to pick up 4 more seats — but are only within 10% of the lead in 4 ridings total across the country. And none of those are Jagmeet Singh, who is crashing. They will need a lot of luck at this point.

Spent the past few days in Minnesota for a funeral, and had several conversations with people where it came up that I was Canadian. Without fail, everyone said something like “ahh, right, the 51st state!”, with a chuckle. I hate to be a wet blanket, but it’s not very funny to us. 😅

I'm thinking that as part of Canada's resistance to Trump, we should invite US scientists Trump is defunding to come work here, and create a big pot of money for them to do their work. We'd benefit from just the science, but also all the economic benefits of patents, products, etc.

@noorazrieh.bsky.social I appreciated listening to the chat with @jagmeetsingh.ca, but you asked him multiple times to give any sort of a plan in the event he loses, and he skirted it every time. I get why he deflected, you can't show weakness, but it was so infuriating that y'all just... moved on.

I really need Apple to acquire Yelp so I can finally look at listing photos in Apple Maps without being taken to the damn App Store.
