I started an intermittent substack with my "leftover" thoughts.
First up: Electric Cars
Art: So, I bought an electric car.
Internet: Are you nuts?
Art: Yes, but that’s a separate issue from purchasing the car. This one is a 2025 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Long Range Preferred AWD.

The United Empire Loyalist in me loves this stuff. Ever since my quadrupallyish great grandfather fled the states around 1776 to stay loyal to the crown.

I don't want to brag, but I voted early and got a free chocolate Easter egg. Did anyone else get any treats when they voted? I mean other than the treat of participating in the sweet, sweet joy of the democratic process.

I used to think debates mattered but in the last one I watched a candidate shouted "they're eating the cats, they're eating the dogs" and he still won.

The whole "soon there will be a golden age after these tariffs" mythology reminds me of those cults that keep waiting for judgement day or UFOs to pick them up.

They say you shouldn't go swimming 30 minutes after eating. You may not want to watch this movie for 30 minutes after eating, either. I laughed, I cringed, I found it entertaining.

As a longtime fan of Kay's work, I always approach his books with a thimbleful of sadness. There is excitement because I know this will be a well-told tale that will pull me right into a rich tapestry of storytelling and characters. And this novel is exactly that. 1/2

I just want to let people know if I was being sworn in I would use The Lord of the Rings as my book. Also didn't Trump put a tariff on Champagne? And yet we put a Champagne in charge of finance.

I'm enough of a political nerd that this kind of stuff is as good as watching a hockey game. Well, not an Oilers game.

They did that by having a defence strategy called Total Defence. All sectors of the government and economy are involved in defence planning. Finland is not aggressive, but it curls into a steel-spiked porcupine when threatened and Russia hasn't dared to invade since WW2. ...
