Holy smokes! What if this is true?
What's "in" and what's "out" in the TV news biz?
The folks who brought you Action News in the 70s now think news organizations need to build communities of like-minded folk, not trust.
Glad I'm in #GCComms where we strive to earn and keep the trust of those we serve.

People who ought to know better continue to normalize the abnormal.
Performative 1A symbols won't cut it when they're actually sustaining Trumplandia.
Mis- and disinformation are tools to undermine national sovereignty. It is pretty clear that the economic war Canadians are enduring is moving to another sphere - our democratic institutions.
A Floyd on a Tele.
That's how cool he was
Talk about an acid pen.
Every adjective, every phrase, every sentence simply drips of it.
And deservedly so.

I was 12. This record changed everything. 🎸
A badass guitarist if there ever was one. 🎸
JACK NICHOLSON — 89 Candles 🎂 today — in 1986 on the conglomeration & commodification of America and the Film industry.

it's amazing how even the most trash cars of the past are 10x cooler looking than pretty much everything in production today

On The Charts 4/22/1972: Deep Purple hit number one on the U.K. Album Chart with ‘Machine Head’, DP’s 6th studio album, which began a three week run on top. The album was recorded in Montreux using The Rolling Stones mobile recording studio. #DeepPurple #DFP #RockHonorRoll
Happy Birthday to Peter Frampton, singer, songwriter, guitar hero and all around good dude - he’s sold over 19 million albums, was nominated for a Grammy for being a rockstar in 1977 and won a Grammy as a musician 30 years later. Born In The Rock in Beckenham, Kent, England 4/22/1950.
In Ontario after the 2014 election there was a brief attempt by the Tories to argue that Wynne's majority was narrow enough that committee control should not be simply assumed. IIRC this controversy was resolved by the expedient of "the Liberals allowed the NDP to chair two more committees."
89 candles would have set off the sprinklers, so we settled for one — and one perfect slice of cake (with @bradtakei.bsky.social on ice cream duty). Thank you to every friend, fan, and fellow traveler who has made these 89 years such a joyous voyage.
They laughed at us because Americans were stupid enough to "vote" him back into office. Now they look at us with disgust and distrust.

Oh, I've been waiting for this:

Everyone wanted to be Cary Grant, even Cary Grant.

Dave Mason passed away at 79 in his favourite chair, in the Carson Valley he loved, after cooking dinner with his wife. A Rock and Roll Hall of Famer who played on some of the greatest records ever made. zurl.co/Zenyc
The Blue Jays have a temporary starting pitcher who is super MAGA, and I could never be an announcer because every time he ended an inning I'd be like, "And another excellent outing from the guy who supports a pedophile who wants to take over his team's country!" and then be promptly fired
Someone on "The Sopranos" spitting Italian slang for "you fucking idiot" that I had to look up online.
Dave Mason has died at 79. A founding member of Traffic, the singer-songwriter and guitarist also played with Cass Elliott, George Harrison and Jimi Hendrix. Mason performing his “Only You Know and I Know” on The Midnight Special in 1975. #RIPDaveMason m.youtube.com/watch?v=zwG8...
At the Moulin Rouge, the Dance is an oil-on-canvas painted by French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. It was painted in 1890, and is the second of a number of graphic paintings by Toulouse-Lautrec depicting the Moulin Rouge cabaret built in Paris in 1889. It portrays two dancers dancing the can-can in the middle of the crowded dance hall.

One of the all-time great songs that never seems to age.
Gone too soon…very sad news, so sorry to hear of the passing of Dave Mason youtu.be/jtap1eLYEYg #RIP #DaveMason #music #musicsky
The verdict of a prominent conservative website and magazine:
"A 79-year-old man who has long dealt in chaos is now being consumed by that chaos. His episodes are becoming more frequent, his good days further apart. What he has lost is not a sense of decency or decorum—he never had those...
Rest in Peace to Dave Mason who was a member of the group Traffic (Who are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) but who I know best for recording one of my favorite songs of all time "We Just Disagree". #RIPDaveMason #AT40
