Clem Burke's drumming on that is pure gold.

I was going to say Columbo but it’s really a howcatchem and not a whodunit

Nah.

I’ll dispute that. My satellite provider had a glitch and I found myself watching a Russian show called Hey Giorgy! that was fantastic. I wish I could find more episodes.

I guess one of us was going to get a win here.

Since the pandemic, I can only read mysteries and non-fiction. I'm on the lookout for your books now.

Not cromulent.

That was my first thought too

Midsummer Nights Dream. There are better, deeper plays but a good production of this will put me on the floor. I saw Kenneth Branagh as Peter Quince and Emma Thompson as Helena and… goddamn.

There's a reason people pretend to be Canadians when they travel.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Getting Canada involved in Trump's war of choice will undo everything you've tried to do to make Canada independent of the US. We will have no credibility on the world stage.

I voted for Chow because she wasn't Tory, and that's all I got.

I will vote for her again because she isn't Bradford, and that will be all I get.

First bike to work since the deep freeze, I didn't even need my lobster gloves! My local street is still a mess but there's enough clear pavement to get to the bike lanes.

Polynesiantown will always be one of my favourites.

Like Twitter but the science is real and the jokes are funny. Also full of the best kinds of weirdos, deviated preverts and communists.

If we had lost the Bloor St bike lanes, I had resolved to be the old man driving up and down the street at the speed limit, slowing down to read every street sign to see if I was at Queen St yet.

The great thing about the Columbo formula is that we know they’re guilty - we saw it!

It was great! I loved it! That dig at Poilievre was pure gold!

You can save that in case I miss the actual podcast.
