In preparation for what is going to happen at 10AM tomorrow in DC, Hounds has released this song.
It’ll be on streaming services on Tuesday.
So... this is the loudest, hardest-driving, most unforgiving Hounds song ever released. And it’s extremely NSFW.
But the situation calls for such an anthem.

Being a music fan means having one playlist for crying, one for dancing, one for driving, and one for pretending you’re in a movie scene. All equally essential.

We Canadians can show any of 33 different pieces of ID to be eligible to vote. Everything from a letter from your priest to a Driver's License.
I have NEVER heard of a Canadian that was NOT permitted to register AND vote on election day.
A true democracy does not live in fear of its electorate.

From @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social 's very timely, relevant "Everything is Tuberculosis":
"And so we have entered a strange era of human history. A preventable, curable infectious disease remains our deadliest. That's the world we are currently choosing.
But we can choose a different world."

It's really interesting to be back in Canada during a federal election (though just for a visit) compared to the recent US federal election: the campaign is so short (relatively) and the focus is so much more on issues >>>> personal attacks on the leaders (relatively).

Humans, I just cracked open this clam and I'm honestly a bit concerned about what I saw inside. Should I be worried?
I mean I guess I can just swim over to Canada if it all goes bad.

As a Jewish faculty member at one of these institutions, I am saying right now, in the clearest tones possible: not in my name. This violent exploitation of Jews as an alibi for achieving Fascist ends is itself textbook antisemitism.
The Ed. Department's Office for Civil Rights sent letters to 60 additional institutions "warning them of potential enforcement actions" for "violations relating to antisemitic harassment and discrimination" including Harvard, Brown, Stanford, Princeton, UNC, and several UC's
