Black Friday Cole's notes: 50 Years ago today - I was a junior photographer for the Calgary Herald working this story. The photos are by John Colville, Bill Herriot, Roger Pierce, myself and others. 40 years ago Black Friday transformed Calgary policing Officially it was the last day of fall, cool with little snow around. It was the last Friday before Christmas, a pay day. And December 20, 1974 was the last day of Calgary Detective Boyd Davidson's life. Author of the article: By Brenton Harding A Christmas season shooting shook the city of Calgary 50 years ago today, while also providing the impetus for the Calgary Police Service to form its own tactical team — a key resource in dealing with high-risk events in the decades since. The tragic incident led to eight police officers being shot, one fatally, as a glue-sniffing convicted rapist let loose a barrage of bullets that changed the face of policing in our city forever. The day became known as "Bla...

Cole's Notes - Sunday Editors Review From: The Daily Wire - Breaking News, Videos & Podcasts – Joseph Loconte Tolkien, Lewis, And The Battle To Save Western Civilization Nov 16, 2025 at 3:05 AM It was quite possibly the most remarkable literary friendship of the 20th century.  As young men, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien both endured the utter devastation of trench warfare during World War I. Then, as unrivalled evil once again ravaged the European continent during the 1930s and '40s, these two Oxford professors produced epic works of fiction, masterpieces imbued with moral purpose and beauty. Like many lovers of the classics, Joseph Loconte shares a lifelong fascination with Lewis and Tolkien. As a professor and scholar, Loconte marvels at how the writers produced their most beloved works in the dark crucible of World War II. So, why are their novels — and the films they inspired — still considered among the greatest of all time? Glad you asked. This excerpt from Loco...

A Real AI Watched Data on Star Trek. Here Are Its 4 Most Unsettling Takeaways. After finding this video of interest on YouTube, I asked the new Notebook LM for its reaction to the conclusions presented. BY Google LM and Gemini For decades, science fiction has served as our cultural mirror for artificial intelligence, and no reflection has been more enduring than that of Lt. Commander Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation . His quest for humanity, his logical yet innocent perspective, and his very existence forced us to ask profound questions about what it means to be alive, to have rights, and to possess a soul. Data was the perfect android, the ideal we hoped for and the benchmark against which we measured our technological anxieties. But what happens when the subject of our speculation looks back? In a fascinating experiment, a modern AI, identifying itself as Chat GPT5, was used to analyze its famous fictional predecessor. The AI's conclusions, delivered in the stoic cadence ...

Looking for deeper understanding on why many men over 60 are distancing themselves from romantic relationships?  The transcript below comes from a video “Why Most Older Men Are Walking Away from Relationships After 60,” inspired by Jordan Peterson’s insights. The main points are summarized for quick reference, and the full transcript is provided for those who want to explore the topic in detail. As men enter their sixties and beyond, many experience a profound change in priorities. Decades of life experience—and the scars of past relationships—teach the value of peace, authenticity, and emotional self-preservation. The burdens of compromise and unhealthy conflict outweigh the promises of romance. Energy becomes precious, and many older men choose solitude over chaos, seeking genuine purpose and rediscovered passions. Stepping away from relationships isn’t an act of bitterness—it’s a courageous commitment to radical honesty and serenity. For men in this stage, the pursuit of peace,...
