I find it hilarious that my wife wasn’t going to watch this wrestling-based TV series until Ben Mulroney of all people recommended it on the CTV Morning News! (Of course I also find it funny that Ben Mulroney is recommending this behind-the-scenes wrestling show which has lots of violence – as you’d expect – and […]
“It’s A Good Life (If You Don’t Weaken)” – The Tragically Hip with Feist
A comprehensive archive of every question ever in the history of Jeopardy is nerd-paradise. (Librarians are 14th in lifetime winnings by career-type though I’d like to see this graph on a per capita basis too.)
As mentioned yesterday, Peaky Blinders is Shea and my’s current viewing obsession. Here’s a taste… Watching this show now and over the years, a series of buzzed upon shows ranging from “Breaking Bad” to “The Wire” to “Sons of Anarchy” to “Yellowstone” along with various others which fit in that “Must Watch” category, I wondered […]
Shea and I are now onto “Peaky Blinders” for our latest must-watch TV series (what’s the opposite of binging where you watch one or two episodes a night, slowly, over time?) and part of the appeal is a kick-ass soundtrack… “Down By The Water” – PJ Harvey

I’ve read a lot of articles and commentary about the attempted coup at the US Capitol a couple weeks ago but this might be my single most favourite thing to come out of it: Doubly so for this remix (don’t normally link to Instagram but hard to find it on YouTube and Twitter – maybe […]
Man, I hope the two Democrats win the Georgia run-off elections and the Democrats take control of the Senate. After the long delay to confirm Biden as President-elect, this would be the cherry-on-top of delayed results! Less impactful but no less entertaining, I’m also hoping Team Canada can once again win Gold at the World […]
