I actually want to stop banging the Jews Don't Count drum at some point but hard to do when a racist myth about Jews is just...said, breezily, on one of the biggest podcasts in the world and no-one gives a fuck.

This is the COOLEST. A Google Earth-type representation of the planet. Every green dot is a radio station. Click any dot to listen in. It’s like cultural teleportation. You could spend hours with this thing… radio.garden

Alex Trebek, R.I.P. Not only was he a peerless game-show host, but he was an excellent interviewer in his CBC days. Here is is, talking to Glenn Gould. youtube.com/watch?v=1nZTgA…

It's not my place or Donald Trump's place to declare the winner of this election. It's the voters' place.

Life’s too short not to say precisely what you mean and live the life that works best for you. You only get one shot at existing so why not exist fully?
