I share random thoughts and memes.
I leave the public political thoughts (most of them, anyway) to people more intelligent and erudite than me.

Feels apt to share this recent painting I saw, "The War Mural" by Abdel Hamid Baal Ali that currently hangs in The Sursock Museum.
It was...visceral to view in a way I can't describe.

I very much dislike the proliferation of AI, but can appreciate these.
I don't know too much of John Candy nor his movies aside from the cameo in Home Alone. Rush is one of Canada's greatest exports but I do like Lester B. Pearson in theory. Leslie Nielsen should, frankly, replace Robert Borden.

The look of a kitty trying to decide if she wants to continue using my sewing project for a bed, or trying to nab a lick off my dinner plate.
