Some of Vonnegut, maybe? Breakfast of Champions could be called a folk art hit. Little drawings too.
Not exactly modern anymore, though.

Is that a new documentary, Eric? Where?
Yes and America’s gloves cover a fist backed by the most powerful military in human history.
Hence my discomfort with fighting metaphors.
Did anyone else feel a shiver of unease when Carney said, “We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves”?
The appetite for combat metaphors clearly persists, and hockey-jock posturing is part of our culture, I guess.
But it feels childish to me.

Lol, and they've got Britain singing Kumbaya with the EU.
Great perspective:
“American democracy began as a democracy of male property owners, including enslavers. Only gradually did white working-class males achieve the vote, and then Black men, and eventually women and Indigenous Americans.”

Only 2 days left to join The Liberal Party if you want to vote in the leadership contest. It’s free to join.
If you support another party, great. The point is, democracy. And it seems fragile, more of us need to be involved.

Went out for dinner tonight with a group of seven folks, and not a single person drank alcohol.
I'm glad I skipped it too- those fleeting 20 minutes of buzz are rarely worth the hours of feeling lousy afterward.
This is me, right now, feeling grateful.
Terrific artists doing a classic art-pop masterpiece live in the studio. The official video is also great.

Someone “reported” this post, why on earth? It’s not disinformation. Look it up.
Ce type joue l’idéologue con. Essayez d’exiger d’être servi en français, sans laisser le personnel demander de l’aide, ailleurs qu’au Québec en Amérique.
While McDonald's, Meta, Walmart and Ford back down from DEI, Costco is holding steady!
I asked Perplexity.ai to estimate the climate impact of Monday's Amazon rocket launch:
"...a single New Glenn launch could be roughly equivalent to driving an average gasoline car for about 15 million kilometers (9.3 million miles)."
It might look less obvious. More subtle.
Can't share articles on FB, Insta or Threads in Canada. I wonder if Bluesky will eventually offer to pay Canadian media for links?

"A visionary in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between their work and play... They leave others to determine whether they’re working or playing. To themselves, they always appear to be doing both."

Alcohol-free beer: I presumed that once my body fully realized that there is no booze in it, I’d lose interest.
Instead, it’s the opposite—my body’s grateful I’m taking care of it.
Turns out, I love beer for the taste, not the boozy buzz followed by dark sickly feelings. Who knew?
