Secular Sunday – First Ever Oscars Award Show Where No Winner Thanked God?

According to r/atheism (who helpfully post links to videos/transcripts of all speeches as proof), no winners thanked God in their acceptance speeches at the Oscars last Sunday – the first time that’s ever happened!

White Lotus Official Trailer

Shea and I broke down and ordered Crave again after having it a few years ago but letting it slide. This show was a big reason why we wanted it (along with “Last of Us” which is our next binge)…

Saturday Snap – “Do you need a campaign volunteer who has helped candidates win at least 10% of the campaigns he’s worked on?”

Chief Cadmus Delorme of Cowessess First Nation is one of, if not the most, high profile Indigenous leaders in Saskatchewan for his work in business, child welfare and much more. (Unfortunately, part of his high profile,including an interview for CBS’s “60 Minutes” show, is for very tragic reasons.) Above is a pic of myself and […]

Music Monday – In Which Jason Programs The Grey Cup Halftime Show…

In fact, two of the three performers in the halftime show were American and the third was from Ontario. Why you wouldn’t feature Saskatchewan artists on a giant stage like this boggles my mind.

Secular Sunday – How David Copperfield Made The Statue of Liberty Disappear

This was the original illusion as broadcast… This is an explanation of how Copperfield pulled it off… Watching this, it struck me that this would make a good Secular Sunday post even if it wasn’t overtly about religion. Seeing people in the live audience say things like “If I was home watching on TV, I […]

CTV Announces Library Themed Sitcom

I’m pretty sure every librarian (including me!) has thought “Why has no one made a TV show set in a library? Boy, people would sure be surprised that we don’t just circulate books but there are wacky staff! Buffoonish managers! Silly patrons! And lots and lots of overdoses. High-larious!” Well, now we’re getting our wish. […]
