I guess now’s as good a time as any to recount a moment I think I saw @GreatDismal in Vancouver ~20 years ago. I didn’t mistake him for a beggar—it was early Sunday morning & I was walking my dog near west 4th & MacDonald. I was wearing a TV Died t-shirt. He was deep in thought.

[William Gibson @GreatDismal]

When I was mistaken for a beggar this morning, I had an iPhone and an iPad on either side of my agenda calendar. Was clean-shaven, wearing an outfit that would easily serve as business casual. Still having trouble getting my head around the experience.

@stillots1 My rental truck broke down in the Coquihalla en route to Halifax. The snow shed? Hot day, pre-cellphone. Had to flag down another truck to call for a tow. On a darker note…

Written a fair amount of business nonfiction in my time.
Gonna say Ken Whyte @KenWhyte3 is the best Cdn business writer out there rn.

This is on publishing. But I want to hear him on real estate, tech, post secondary education...

They have also played a significant role in the rising hide of hatred in Ontario and across the country:

Hate in Ontario is at a ‘linchpin moment, we’re either going to keep it in the grenade or we’re going to see some things explode’ https://t.co/X0gwRwwfId

When examing the conspiracy theory-laden, vulgar flag-waving mob that swarmed the PM in Belleville yesterday, it is important to note this is the same network of people have been orchestrating protests against masks, vaccines and the LGBTQ+ community.

The answer is really, unfortunately, bullets, isn't it?

@GrayBeard1952 @ThatEricAlper They did a song with Geddy Lee, so I think they’re basically part of Rush?

[Travis V. Mason @MasonTV]

@sookyinlee That sounds like a dictum, and, I like it.

Poetry doesn’t care

[Realistic Poetry International @RealisticPoetry]

Is it possible for poetry to be written in a way that is considered correct or incorrect?

[Aimée Morrison @digiwonk]

Full credit where it is due: this gathering feels full of care and meaning and a stranger just offered me tissue as I bawled.

"Like a memory of an ecological system."

This profile of Burrard Inlet, and the Tsleil-Waututh Nation's unrelenting efforts to revive it, is as haunting as it is inspiring. What history.
