You could start with 70% of the population of Victoria, B.C.
Seems like a good reason for voters to call their congress reps? No?
He’s also WAY ahead in the polls over here and no one seems to know what to do about it. Today Congress has done us a favour.

Oh. A difficult read. www.cnn.com/2025/09/02/u...
Wow. www.cnn.com/2025/09/03/e...
I actually don’t particularly fancy an “immersive experience”, thanks.
I am listening to Bryan Adams new album out of some sense of national obligation. He's a good guy, but he's been dialling it in for a while now. Bryan, how about an album of experimental electronica? Or work out your itinerant childhood in acapella with an all-female Bulgarian choir?
Watching a doc on The Carpenters… Haircuts in the late 60s, early 70s were a crime, no? We’ve romantics it. But it’s not good.
I do remember in 70s Montreal you’d shop and your bags would disappear on a conveyer and you’d drive around to a side door of the supermarket where someone would put them in your car.
Big stores with parking lots seem more common. So doing the weekly shop was easier and a part of the routine. Those stores were common from the 40s at least whereas here they’re more recent.
This is brilliant too. observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

Weird that no one is talking about unemployment rates at the moment, no? Oh. Hang on. They’re low. That’s not news. As you were. Focus on the sh*t.
From the Daily Mash today…
#premier league this year is going to be mad. Crazy on-field and VAR and offside computer decisions… But still games not going the “big teams’” way…
Right. I’m clearly on it. It’s the Welsh women with ribbons in their hair! #RWC2025 #wales
I like how some of the Canadian women’s team are wearing ribbons in their hair. #rwc2025
I reckon I should go to one of these games.
Should the UK PM take a page out of Gavin Newsom’s book and use this guy to do his socials? bsky.app/profile/paro...
Without wanting sound too huffy, maybe the FT shouldn’t write about football. Not that I disagree… just that there are better football writers. on.ft.com/4lVssjJ
*N.B. Except in the US, China and Russia where the opposite should be considered true.
Where do I sign up? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Sound familiar? It’s from the 1860s. 160+ years ago. Maybe it’s time we move on?
Welcome back to Britain! That mirage of long days, fun and sun is gone this morning. Did ever happen?!
Here’s an album and a band I find I can’t recommend enough. They are no more. But they were amazing. #albumreccos

Well, I know I want to know more…
I’m revisiting this after reading a very good piece on her in The Observer over the weekend. It’s pretty awesome.
Calum Miller, MP for the constituency where Nigel Farage delivered his repatriation speech today, says Oxfordshire is “thriving thanks to overseas talent” – and criticised him for not meeting residents living near Campsfield House detention centre, next to the venue for Farage’s event.
I’m a bit obsessive when it comes to music. This one’s been on repeat this month. Listen a lot before reading any of the *du jour* back story. Ethel Cain, Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You
Earl’s Court. It’s gone back to its original, yea? A dirt patch with a circus on it.
What a great way to start the day!
This is mostly a very depressing place…
The rain is needed. But will it just run off the burnt ground…?
I just flipping’ love The Observer. Well done @tortoisemedia.bsky.social
Why is everyone so angry? And who benefits from that? I’m feeling like it’s not me. #happy
Easily the best thing that happened in the world yesterday… apnews.com/article/finl...
This is cool. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...
That and the National Enquirer being DJT’s house organ… so to speak… make it so.
I’m going to go with a poor public education system and a lack of developed critical thinking capabilities…
I think many expected Tulsi Gabbard to be a loud and obnoxious force inside the intelligence community. But I think it's clear that she's doing her damage very quietly. www.economist.com/united-state...
I can see why it’s only a community access TV show…
Hmm. I mean. Well… Hmmmmm. apnews.com/article/cons...
Are we thinking Labour created Brexit?

All I can say is I’m glad I put all my savings into AI stocks.
It’s horrible how Trump is welcoming all these foreign child predators. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I’m starting to wonder if maybe the US President is not a real blond?
Also, to all those who celebrate: What is *wrong* with you?!
Happy Salem Witch Trials Day, to all those who celebrate.
When The Revolution comes, it won’t be caused by tariffs, taxes, war or religious rapture… It will be caused by the blind rage of ordinary people fed up of trying to put a screw cap back on a bottle that it’s already fastened to.
This seems weird to me. Probably just me though. www.bbc.com/news/article...
@apnews.com obit writers: you can do better than this.
Controversial opinion: Why can’t we all just get along?
Traffic in the A303 slowed down by building works.
For all those who believe, the season is starting. Bring on the disappointment. #premierleague
I’m reading about a renown German anarchist in London at the start of the last century. He had the amazing name of Rudolf Rocker. He gave barnstorming speeches in the East End, including in Yiddish, although he was a Gentile. He was deported at the start of WW1. Our loss, I feel.
This didn’t age well… from last night… Nigel’s gang lost to almost everyone in both races.
Today I am mostly reading about the return of Topshop.
Yes, but can it make a decent cup of coffee?
I’m the last hold out. Have listened to the whole back catalogue and I don’t get it. Going back to reading Jonathan Swift… #foggy
Increase a band: The Jesus, Mary and Joseph Chain
Wow. It took a while to work that through the system. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
I’ve been a big advocate of this for years! We even had grey flannel shorts at my Kenyan boarding school in the 70s. They were very formal looking. The only issue I have is having to see blokes’ the scrawny legs… As long as we don’t go sandals too, I’m in for shorts, for sure.
Generally, I am happy if I can find the corkscrew. apnews.com/article/purp...
Good news. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Interesting, with good ideas... Controversially, I think our city is quite well run. Maybe they'll learn from this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
This actually looks like it might be quite a good and affecting read. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
As my economics teacher used to say “don’t shoot down my theories with facts.” There is a study somewhere to be done about why we gravitate towards misery in this country. Red tops, surely, but are they chicken or egg?
And that story of you…? and your friends…? with the cow…? I want to party with you!
Instructions to follow? Everyone I drive through in North America is like a life-threatening circus game. —> People in driver’s side have right of way… okay?
Okay. Can I say what I think inherently a lot of people, I am certain, know? These guys are fundamentally tilting at windmills. It’s like Custer’s Last Stand… Or Canute trying to hold back the tide… Or, as the Spanish say, trying to block out the sun with your thumb. They’re gonna lose. Sad.
I don’t ever do these things. But this time… I have. You should too.
I’m sure no one wants to see this either… m.youtube.com/watch?v=e-8N...
Thought I’d post this again. Because he’s obviously not vain or easily irritated.
Bring on the Goat Empire. It can only really be an improvement, right?

I genuinely think this would increase vaccine take-up. (That most sceptics are simply afraid of needles.)

If you’re a Keanu fan and haven’t seen The River’s Edge… you’ve missed the essence of Keanu… the art in its purest form! “Are you with me, man?”
My Latin American father-in-law pronounces this Awaken the Clowns… which I think gives the film an extra level of curious chic.
Any picture with The Chief in it is worthy to me.
