  Humpbacks in Howe Sound A photo by Burns Jennings of a whale that surfaced near his boat in Seymour Bay in 2022. I'm on the shore in front of a garage door, watching through my binoculars. Back in 2005, my friend Pauline Le Bel wrote a musical about the history of Bowen Island, starting with the Big Bang and coming up tot the present day. https://www.chriscorrigan.com/parkinglot/humpbacks-in-howe-sound/

  Farewell to Europe Tottenham 3 (5) v 2 (7) Athletico Madrid It might be the last Spurs match in Europe for a while. Having navigated the league stage of the Champions League with style, Spurs were dire in the round of 16 versus Atletico Madrid.  Last week in Madrid a series of goalkeeping mistakes from Kinsky and then defensive lapses from everyone else put us down 5-2 in the first leg.  https://www.chriscorrigan.com/parkinglot/farewell-to-europe/

  Seasons change  Here on Nexwlélexwm/Bowen Island, we are sliding into astronomical spring with a final hurrah from our rainy season. A long atmospheric river has been delivering rain steadily for five days.  Rain totals have varied over the region with Point Atkinson, 8 km to our south south east, receiving 55mm of rain so far. But 14 km away, near the northern end of the Lions Gate bridge, the… https://www.chriscorrigan.com/parkinglot/seasons-change/

  Why we create music I am so grateful that I can make music. It's a language that allows me to speak in the pure vocabulary of emotion with people. It allows me to relate to people in a way that is totally different from every other form of social interaction, even sport, which comes closest.  And it allows me to connect with myself as well. https://www.chriscorrigan.com/parkinglot/why-we-create-music/

  Alberta wants a high price for their oil. Oil companies love it. Oil company owners love it. So while you’re struggling to fill your tank at 2.15 a litre and the added fuel costs are added to everything else we buy remember that the champions of Canada’s Economic Engine need you to belaying through the nose for their energy, and a few wars don’t hurt either. A reminder that the sun is still free. (Alt text: stock price graphs for Canada four largest oil producers showing growth over the la...

  Staring over the edge The cliffs at the end of the world, near Sagres, Portugal. Tottenham 0 - 3 Nottingham Forest I moved to Cheshunt, Herts, in England in 1978, just six weeks after the English football season ended. Under the guidance of Brian Clough, Nottingham Forest won the First Division that season, setting them up for an epic couple of years in which they were the dominant force in European football. https://www.chriscorrigan.com/parkinglot/staring-over-the-edge/

  RE: https://toad.social/@wdlindsy/116211049171831445 William Lindsay's daily threads are good roundups of the history that is unfolding around us as a small group of compromised and deeply unwell narcissists kill people through intent, neglect, cruelty, glee, and sheer ignorance. I'm hoping Trump's presidency ends soon and I'm hoping that his legacy will be a general and lasting rejection of populism in all its guises. But I am not optimistic in the least abou...

  A new definition of anthro-complexity Participants in a meeting of the Japanese OD Network self-organizing in a dialogic container to discuss what they learning from an embodied experience of constraints, Kanzan University, Nagoya, 2019 Dave Snowden is publishing a TON of stuff these last few weeks, much of densely theoretical and full of references to thinkers and traditions that would probably take years to properly unpack. https://www.chriscorrigan.com/parkinglot/a-new-definition-of-anthro-...

  If Job was a sports fan… My first live Vancouver Goldeneyes game. A result typical of the last year of sports in my life, but an amazing atmosphere and culture in the arena. Everyone watches women's sports. So here is a rundown of the last eight months of sports in my life: The ugly: TSS Rovers Men hold first position in the league until the last week of play. https://www.chriscorrigan.com/parkinglot/if-job-was-a-sports-fan/

  @Nonilex@masto.ai his entire fucking presidency is about showmanship and he’s really bad at it. Cringe humour is only good if you mean it.
