Why didn't anyone tell me it was Akira Kurosawa day on TCM? Thanks to COVID-19 I actually had enough space cleared on my PVR to have recorded everything if I'd known. #AkiraKurosawa

Like "Monsoon Wedding", "The Hundred Foot Journey" is another the English/Indian film you've probably never heard of but is absolutely worth watching.

A few weeks ago on the Agenda, conservative journalists were concerned that Postmedia told them to go hard right until the election. After reading yesterday's Toronto Sun, hard right is an understatement -- Rebel Media is surely jealous. #FakeNews

The episode of Manhole I just watched ended with such a huge cliffhanger and I have no-one to discuss the show with. #Manhole #KoreanDrama

I don't know if Duckweed stands on its own as a good movie, but a chance to know my ass of a father as a young man and the birth mother I never met is very relatable. #Duckweed #ForeignFilms

Ontario Strong is spamming us, so let's spam them back. Text "No" to 1-905-296-3240 all night long. #ConservativeWeak

We're drowning in fake news and #disinformation. Here's how to spot it, stop it, and protect democracy! https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/disinformation_briefing/ …

"Pancakes" may have been the best series finale since Barney Miller turned off the lights in the 12th Precinct 37 years ago. #You'reTheWorstIsTheBest

Tomorrow is the worst day of the year: Daylight Savings starts. Losing an hour of sleep then weeks of the sun blinding me on the drive home from work in the morning. No-one wants it so why is it still a thing? #EndDaylightSavings

Disturbing factoid: In Canada and Ontario, the tax deduction for large donations are double that for small ones. Even when giving charitably, the rich benefit more than the poor.

Global warming enthusiast Jim "Axe the Tax" Karahalios got 607 of 1,179 registered votes for Ontario PC party president. Brian "steal the voters list" Patterson won with 663 votes ...out of 1,345 cast (166 more than voters), leaving 75 votes missing. #ConservativeVoterFraud

Kudos to Steve Paikin for keeping a straight face while interviewing Vic Fideli on tonight's episode of The Agenda.

"A Taxi Driver", about the 1980 Gwangju uprising, is so well directed and acted that I just watched the entire movie in Korean with Chinese subtitles. #TwoThumbsUp

Dollar store insect repellent (without DEET) worked surprisingly well against mosquitoes; however, it did cause a mild burning sensation and turned my skin red -- a nice bonus if you're feeling cold and want some colour.

I just watched Kill Zone 2 (or SPL II: A Time for Consequences) for a second time. Still great even knowing all the (good) plot twists in advance. #TwoThumbsUp

My local Walmart had self-checkout only on my last two visits. #SignOfTheTimes

Nothing scares conservative parties more than high voter turnout. This year, drag your spouse, siblings, friends, neighbours, coworkers, and most importantly, your own lazy ass, out to the polling station to give those self-serving conservatives a fright they will remember. #Vote
