Winnipegger. Copy editor in sustainable development. Jets fan, much of the time. YIMBY. Musician for joy, not mastery. Just trying to find good Winnipeg/hockey/literature/language stuff on here.
All vibes positive until further notice.

Wow--thank you for sharing that! It nails it. One key takeaway (for me, as a musician):
Picture containing the text "this isn't a death sentence for artists; it's a tired groan into mediocrity--a Fortnite dance into a sea of Giphy-powered dog shit. What was once a cherished skill is now just a marketing influencer slopping up engagement metrics like a nude pig in a cheap, hot dumpster."

It sure did! Went for a (masked) walk this morning when you could barely smell it. Now this:

Just got this reply from Councillor Gilroy's office:
Text of an email reading Hi Tom and Sharon, Central Park is for Community. Permit Denied. Central Park is one of our city’s most cherished green spaces. It’s vibrant, diverse, and deeply rooted in the life of the neighbourhood. It is not the place for events that threaten to disrupt its spirit or compromise the safety and well-being of those who rely on it every day. Following a thorough review, the City has denied the permit request for the proposed event. This decision was based on serious operational concerns. On busy summer days, Central Park is a vital hub for families, daycares, summer camps and residents. A large-scale gathering would overwhelm the park’s capacity and displace those who count on it as a safe, accessible public space. But for me, this is about more than just logistics. It’s about setting a standard. Public spaces must be protected from rhetoric that fuels division, targets vulnerable communities or undermines human dignity. As City Councillor, I will continue to support and advocate for decisions that uphold human rights, safety, and mutual respect. Public spaces must remain places where people feel safe, seen, and welcome. I am committed to fostering a city grounded in compassion, inclusion, and unity.

Seems to be appearing only on clickbait-y sites?
I will await confirmation from legitimate sources before freaking out, I think.

What a carnival of ass clowns.
Kanye West, the performer and Trump supporter who has a history of antisemitic and other controversial comments, is now encouraging Trump and Musk to end their quarrel. “Broooos please noooooo,” he wrote on X, Musk’s platform, with an emoji of two individuals hugging one another. “We love you both so much.”
