Dad keeps watching reels and threads and tiktoks like a teenager and sometimes they have tracks like this in the background and then I make him watch the proper music video and he is outraged but nothing stops him from watching and sending that crap to all my relations.
But also, I love this song.
I'm starting to get the sense that referendums in Alberta are performative exercises instead of ways to resolve policy disputes.
It was worth the cost and effort of putting millennials in space so we could get a portrait-mode version of Earthrise

Forgot I even took a sneaky pic!

Drove the Icefields Parkway twice in the past few days (record time on bare roads, no traffic) and despite all my time in the Rockies I am always dumbfounded by the very fact of those mountains.
I look at the staggering peaks and utter “how?” and “whatever could have made that happen?”
Like, I am familiar with that cognitive searching when operating in another language but it is hella weird to routinely experience that with your mother tongue. Weirder still when the word that does come to mind is in the other language (French, for me).
Why do we even bother with endnotes--this is my personal pet peeve as a historian, I need to read the spicy, sassy, whiny footnotes immediately

Up here I spend about 2/3 of my time right now thinking about how changes to the machinery of government can promote or constrain the independence of quasi-judicial administrative tribunals. Maybe not a constitutional impediment, but we do things differently here. Thankfully.

The US can just fire judges? Isn't there some sort of, you know, constitutional impediment to that?
Delightful reminders and such fun photos! It's been 20 years since I chose Halifax (could go to law school anywhere, I chose that city over others). 10/10 would recommend.

To clarify, I disagree with the decision to repeal. But this data and analysis is forensically very interesting.
Generally speaking, it's piss-poor advocacy when the lawyer's personality draws the spotlight away from the arguments they are making on behalf of their client. Tone matters.
Just an incredible line of sight into how the repeal decision was made. Brava!
My crim law professor taught us “most people obey most of the laws most of the time”. Same with countries. The law isn’t only about what powerful countries do at the extremes. It’s also about the middle band of countries that are mostly trying to do most of the things rightly, and giving them tools.

Fair-haired Rex Manning (character in the cult classic Empire Records) is shown wearing a black jacket over a purple satin wide-collared shirt. Buttons are undone revealing a silver pendant necklace and a scant bit of chest hair. Rex's expression is smoldering as the sunlight pours in from the left side of the photo. Happy Rex Manning Day!
Happy Rex Manning Day, everyone!
