I listen to classical music every day. But what a thrill and privilege to attend a concert, or an opera or a ballet. The magnificence of the composers, and the artists who have talents i can only applaud with awe & immense gratitude. They have contributed so much to my life.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. The great Ian McKellen recites Shakespeare. Still so relevant today. Maybe even more so now throughout the world than ever before. Especially countries with so much land and wealth. We canโt stop until all those captured are freed from nazi ice.
is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?
the year is 2030. a doctor gravely informs you that you have plastic in your testicles bc millions of people who felt bad for a monkey bought polyester plushies that shed millions of microplastics in the laundry that were were eventually consumed by the fish that you ate

Could not be more proud of you, Team Canada.

Youโre coming home with 21 hard-fought Olympic medals. Though what Canadians will remember most is how you wore the Maple Leaf: with pride, with grit, and with determination.
A vintage sepia-toned portrait photograph of Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann taken in 1932, at around age 44. She is posed formally against a softly draped curtain backdrop, gazing directly at the camera with a calm, intelligent, and composed expression. She has short, neatly waved dark hair and wears a simple, elegant dark blouse or dress with a light-colored V-neck insert or scarf tied loosely. The photographer's signature, "Nachtwey 1932," appears in the lower right corner in a flowing script. The image captures her poised and thoughtful demeanor during the early years of her groundbreaking career in seismology, before her landmark discovery of Earth's solid inner core in 1936. #seismology
Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann fundamentally changed our understanding of the Earth's interior by discovering its solid inner core in 1936. Often referred to as ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ด๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ข ๐ฃ๐ญ๐ข๐ค๐ฌ ๐ข๐ณ๐ต due to her incredible ability to interpret complex seismic records by hand.
She died #OTD in 1993 #WomenInSTEM

If you are outside in NY or any freezing northeastern city, bring warm gloves, hat, blanket. If you see a person experiencing homelessness, do offer help to nearest shelter. If they prefer to stay outside, give food, money.
The history of Black Canadians is one of relentless progress, earned through perseverance, and carried forward by opening doors for so many to follow.
This week, we celebrated 30 years of Black History Month in Canada.
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
The Epstein network never died.
They rebranded and are running the show.
A few more shots from my time in Belfast. It was great to spend time there at Your Roots Are Showing. I had a matinee show at Matt Molloy's in Westport yesterday. Another week in Ireland for research. More later...
Home.
Catherine OโHara of Beetlejuice and Schittโs Creek has died at age 71. RIP to one of the all-time greatest women in comedy. people.com/catherine-oh...
So sad to hear of the passing of the great Catherine O'Hara. SCTV was my favourite comedy show of all time largely because of the enormous talent she brought to it She was incredible in all the Christopher Guests films too. Especially her performance in "For Your Consideration" Huge loss...
So hard to pick out of so many great moments
But I always loved this scene with the late Fred Willard RS

Kristi Noem AND Stephen Miller must go.
More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But itโs important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

Iโm running for Congress in NY-12, my home.
We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operationโgovernment by the boss, for the boss.
We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.
FUCK YOU TO THIS LAWLESS ADMINISTRATION AND ITS ENABLERS IN CONGRESS WHO ARE ALLOWING A GESTAPO LIKE POLICE FORCE TO SHOOT AND KILL AMERICAN CITIZENS.
This is our country. This is our future. The choice is ours.
We choose Canada.

Photo of Prime Minister Carney speaking at a podium in Davos, Switzerland. A quote from his speech is edited on top: โWHEN THE RULES NO LONGER PROTECT YOU, YOU MUST PROTECT YOURSELF. BUT LET US BE CLEAR-EYED ABOUT WHERE THIS LEADS. A WORLD OF FORTRESSES WILL BE POORER, MORE FRAGILE, AND LESS SUSTAINABLE.โ
We can build walls or we can be more ambitious โ and build something better, stronger, and more just.
This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.
Those Mael brothers - what talent.
