#CarlaBeck criticizes #AviLewis for having an ideology when her biggest problem is that she lacks one. "Carla Beck is calling Lewis's position on oil and gas development 'ideological and unrealistic' and she won't meet with him until he reverses his stance." (Source: #CBC News)

We're planning an upcoming trip to #Berlin: anyone want to suggest off-the-beaten-track venues and experiences to a couple of artsy-fartsy #book nerds? Odd little cafes, galleries, night spots? Send 'em my way. #Germany #Travel #artgallery

I am in the final stages of editing my next volume of poetry and I think it's starting to get to me. This. This is my mindset at the present moment: #books #writing #writers #poetry #AuthorsOfX cliffjburns.wordpress.com/2026/02/10/poe…

I'm supporting Avi Lewis in his run for the leadership of the federal #NDP. He's the best, most Left-leaning candidate we've had in decades. Here's why he's got my vote: #AviLewis #Canada #politics #progressive #socialism lewisforleader.ca/ideas/health-a…

A reminder that the true story of St. Nicholas has nothing to do with Santa Claus...but is harrowing and fascinating nonetheless: #Christmas #SantaClaus #holidayseason cliffjburns.wordpress.com/2007/12/12/the…

@GregHemphill5 Sad to see "Still Game" is leaving Netflix. The series got me through two hip surgeries and it was always fun to drop in and see what Jack, Victor and the gang were up to. Thanks for a great run and many, many laughs.

It's with great sadness but Still Game series 8 has been cancelled due to BBC funding cuts. We are deeply sorry to bring you this news
