  The first flurries came on Valentine’s Day, a steady, wispy snowfall, like a socially distanced blizzard. A brutal wave of Covid-19 had just crested in the college town of Denton, about 60km north of Dallas, in Texas. It’s a good thing my daughters, Grace, who is 12, and Lydia, who is nine, study remotely, because we were inundated with “Covid on campus” emails all winter, single-case notifications eventually snowballing into aggregated reports of “a few individuals�...

Bobby Ewing has just been found in the shower….again Salon: Donald Trump’s insurrection failed. While historians will likely debate for decades how close he really came to succeeding, one thing is for certain: His failure has put his most prominent defenders in a tough spot. Instead of lining up to sing the praises of President-for-Life Donald Trump, which is where they want to be, his sycophants are stuck trying to make excuses for, minimize, or deflect attention from Trump’s failure. Fi...

ASM, plenty of romantic melodrama. It got me to thinking how, during this Golden Age of Comic Book TV and its varying types of series, the one genre that hasnt been jumped on by the networks and streaming services is the soap opera.

st Of The Week From The Blogs Favourite Living Canadian) For most of Friday, I was exploring the supporting documentation developed by the FBI in its ongoing investigation into the thugs and hooligans who ransacked the Capitol on January 6.

Some of the details are dizzyingly surreal; theres one guy named Kevin Lyons who apparently told the FBI that he didnt know whether he ha...

(See previous column on The Crown and Netflix impulse buy for added proof of this.) The boys are not interested in the slightest. “That theme tune music makes me want to run out of the room,” mutters the 12-year-old, echoing his father’s childhood sentiments, funnily enough, on the same programme (C...
