Saw F1 tonight. It was a lot of fun. The driving scenes were shot in such a visceral, embedded manner I felt like I was on the road at 200 MPH. Interesting characters, good acting and a well-told story. Overall a grand time at the cinema.

I subscribed to my local movie theatre a while back and they are apparently tracking reward points logarithmically. I admire that attention to detail.

My last post that got flagged was for reproducing verbatim (though critically, obviously) the original text of an advertisement for a slave in early Canadian history.

The real Laurentien elite.

I sang (in a choir) in the opening ceremonies for both the Vancouver Public Library and GM Place (now Rogers Arena).

The Terran mind cannot comprehend driving for 47 years and still being inside the Oort Cloud.

Overheard at breakfast:. "My doctor says I have to go on diabetes medicine right away, like what is going on? I don't really eat any sugar. Ya, I guess cookies. He said I have to stop eating pancakes and syrup every day. I guess it's back to toast and jam.". We have so far to go.

The pandemic response is among the most acutely harmful set of public policies ever implemented in Canada, all while failing to have any measurable effect on the disease burden they sought to control. Nobody who supported vaccine passports should be anywhere near the Order of.

Love him or hate him, there's nobody else in the world who could have meaningfully said what needed to be said here.

I worked as a barista for almost 10 years as a young man. I came to know in advance the women who would order soy milk by the skin of their cheeks. Eat meat. Eat from the animals. Skip the soyslop and seed oils.

"Stress comes from ignoring things we shouldn't be ignoring.". F***, I think he's got it.

Saw 'The Phoenician Scheme', Wes Anderson's latest movie. Superb acting and writing. Precious set design and cinematography. Anderson really nailed his signature quirky comedic style here, seamlessly combining poignancy, wit, depth and slap-stick spectacle. Would recommend.
