Happy #Sincaraz Final Eve! 🎾 I reviewed Changeover, the great new book by @girinathan.bsky.social, in today’s @winnipegfreepress.com Books section. Have a read ⤵️

Holy smokes—this is huge! The holy grail of the Bruce vault.

This was a riotously fun piece. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Galling to watch institutions of fact and culture—universities, publications, museums, etc.—gasp for survival, then read of capital rushing to startups seeking to implant computers in the brain. I wonder how many people feel that their main obstacle in life has been insufficient brain compute.

Great piece by Richard Brody.

Ozzy’s obit is a wild ride. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/22/a...

Great piece on how we use social media these days: “scrolling but not posting.”

JOB ALERT: Our sister paper, The Carillon, is hiring a full-time reporter.

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

Great piece!

So cool!

Excellent work as always from Jia Tolentino.

This is gonna be good.

Cool story for #ElectionDay.

They shoulda texted them to @ianfroese.bsky.social instead.

NYT having a little fun in the weekly news quiz.

A fun read! www.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/art...

Great column. Let’s get this thing up and running. www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/2025/0...

Winnipeg gets a shout-out like 10 mins into in A REAL PAIN

LOL

Best longform piece I’ve read all month. Does what the best cultural criticism should do: unpacks what we’ve all felt but can quite articulate.

Headline of the Year contest starts tomorrow. Here are the winners from previous contests:

It’s sad and troubling to see another Manitoba community newspaper disappear, especially one in Manitoba’s under-served north. www.winnipegfreepress.com/business/202...

What does Christmas mean to me? It means Aidy Bryant saying, “gran-CHIL-dren.” youtu.be/1Ts7oWw_Ebs?...

All all-timer aside in an unassuming Athletic article about tennis player Andy Roddick’s philanthropic pursuits. www.nytimes.com/athletic/569...

Amen. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/20/m...

Three episodes in and really enjoying Say Nothing. Fantastic adaptation of a fantastic book by @praddenkeefe.bsky.social

Did “The Outrun” get a theatrical release in Winnipeg? I need that Orkney scenery on the big screen.

Here’s a Spotify playlist of last night’s Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band set list open.spotify.com/playlist/1S3...

Very much looking forward to seeing Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band play some rock and roll songs tonight.

Best op-ed published in @winnipegfreepress.com all year. Also a great example of how to use detail to convey character. www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...
