I just received and started Sleeping Beauties by David Byrne. Not too far into it, but it looks intriguing.

The Shock Doctrine by Nami Klein - An interesting read so far. Some detail on history that I vaguely remember or heard about as a child. While it's good, it's more on the pile of how screwed we are socially, politically, and economically so some days I avoid it if it's too heavy.

On Food and Cooking - Harold McGee - Pretty much the bible of cooking. It's been a long slow read for me over the last 18 months when I'm not sure what else I want to read.

Searches: Selfhood in the Digital Age - Vauhini Vara - A reflection on the impact of tech on modern life.

    Think you can still bring a bottle of your favourite Niagara red or Ontario-made whisky to your grandparents’ place in Florida?

    Think again, according to trade lawyers and the Canadian Snowbird Association, who say there appears to be no personal exemption when it comes to Donald Trump’s import ban on a wide array of Canadian alcohol products.

    That means you can no longer bring even a single bottle of Canadian-made beer, wine or spirits into the U.S. — whether you’re willing to pay duty on it or not, said international trade lawyer Barry Appleton.

    “A ban is an absolute prohibition. A tariff is a price a person can pay, and a personal allowance can forgive a duty. Neither can make a prohibited good admissible,” said Appleton, co-director of the Center for International Law at New York Law School, and a fellow at the University of Waterloo’s Balsillie School of International Affairs.

    Ukraine's actions have little to do with what that egomaniacal psychopath is going to do. He'll do whatever gets him more money or gains him favour in the billionaire club. What you see him state publicly is simple theatre.

    I'm calling bullshit. I live here. We have plenty of vegetables, salads, and vegetarian food around the province. Even in our smaller shithole, redneck, hellhole towns. There's more than enough to criticize about this province without making shit up.

    Prophet Song by Paul Lynch would make an excellent movie. Maybe a bit too on the nose for these times. His novel Grace could also be amazing as a film or limited series.
