The moon is still visible today at noon. Seems weird, but I am sure it has happened before. I see the moon in the morning all the time. Maybe the phase it’s in allows it to still be seen. All perfectly normal

THE SCARLET BALL, my dark fantasy novel due out on OCT 6, is set in an 1890 that never existed. During the 1890s, dip pens were still king, but the modern fountain pen was beginning to appear.
This, I suspect, is a Beekman fountain pen from the late 1890s.

Watched that Backrooms motion picture last night. Very good. Obsession was also excellent. If this is the kind of cinema the crazy kids today with their hula hoops and fax machines are giving us, I’m not going to yell at them to get off my lawn, I will instead welcome them with lemonade and cookies.

Been watching some news reports about the Manchester City ruling and have more questions after each report.
Manchester City apparently cheated their way to a number of championships but they never describe how they created. Maybe it’s apparent if you know the Premier League. 1/

The thing I like about the X-Men is that if you join it doesn’t matter if you were an assassin or raised in a murder cult or worshipped as a god, at some point they will make you try to teach geometry to a bunch of fifteen year olds.

I met with Unifor & IAM workers today to talk about the federal government’s plan to privatize Canada’s airports.
The international record is clear. Privatization has not delivered better service, lower costs or stronger workers’ rights.
Our airports should serve Canadians, not corporate profits.
