Today's Because News was classic! Perfectly gorgeous chaotic humour. Thanks, you beautifully talented people Because News Gavin Crawford @TheMarthaChaves

I try not to disparage anyone but Donald Jr is a major arsehole and all the endangered species of the world agree with me.

I have just dispensed with my cable service & am without 'TV' for the first time .... in my life. Friendly Giant is saying 'you've abandoned me!' while The Screaming Orange Melon has been silenced.

Pure gold. Don't loose the shine, CBC Radio Thank you, The Sunday Magazine Thank you, Michael Enright

Just finished 'The Midnight Library' & again, Matt Haig has delivered a cracking, great narrative populated with characters that could be anyone in your family. His genius, making the ordinary, extraordinarily magical. Philosophy & science as seen through the kitchen window.

What do I love about this? Ah, EVERYTHING!

I did not expect to shed a tear in learning that a progressive woman of colour will be U.S. V.P. but it happened. America's official hate replaced by compassion and respect. Angry noise replaced by the hope of civil political debate #KamalaHarris #CongratsPresidentElectBiden

Ditto. We can breathe again. 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈

A CNN commentator just said a friend overseas was 'literally glued to the TV screen' watching coverage today. Now, THAT'S commitment. Or a bad solution to farsightedness.

I am so tired of telling people that a mask that doesn't cover your nose is no mask at all.

Non sequitur of the day: I miss Jennifer 'Crush' Paige

Non sequitur of the day #2: I have a huge nostalgic fondness for Crystal Waters today

The Beat's 'Stand Down Margaret' episode of The Crown, series 4, arrived at my apartment tonight ..... and it was just marvy. #TheCrown #2Tone The Beat Featuring Ranking Jnr

Was about to grab a sparkling jar of dill pickles at the local grocer but shoved it back on the shelf after reading 'Product of India'. I certainly don't want a garden-variety gherkin to be more well-travelled than our province's farmers.

It happened yet again. Listening to tunes while I order from publisher catalogues. Song starts, 'Rise and Shine', The Cardigans. The next title I see, yes, the very same. There must be a German word for this.

Dear The GRAMMYs , you have one of the greatest contemporary musicians Huy Hoang Where is the year's best song? Abel Tesfaye #blindinglights

I have a good life. I'm fortunate and will try to never forget it.

I've just watched two late 70s/early 80s movies that, purely coincidentally, feature Tangerine Dream scores: Sorcerer & Firestarter. One very bad film & one very good. Determination not due to music.

Dous. Zwei. Tveir. Two. Kaksi. Mbili. Twee. Deux. Thank you, science. Thank you, Canadian health care system and its workers.

I largely rely on the BBC as my news source. I just received a bulletin from the site: 'Nigella's new pancakes!' Come on, now. Sincerest apologies to Michael Rose
