One Battle After Another is the right movie at the right time. It’s a movie about resistance and family. The marketing for this film was awful but now that I’ve seen it, I get it. Lots of surprises

THIS SATURDAY: The fourth annual Butter Tart Festival. With plenty of butter tart options, including gluten free, dairy free, nut free, and vegan & more fun and activities. The Market is located at 6154 Abbott St. East. atthebarn.ca/butter-tart-...

Y'all got recommendations for independent news / publications run by journalists from underrepresented communities? In particular, journalists of color?

The words we use to talk about nature are disappearing. Here’s why that matters. We’ll need to do more than "touch grass" to revive them. grist.org/language/nat... #Nature #Words #Language #Culture #Climate #Diction #Writing #Writers

Ughhhhh #usopen

Can’t remember the last time ppl were so hyped for a doubles match #usopen

With Williams and Townsend, I’m seeing more excitement for women’s doubles. We need it #usopen

Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez are the feel good story of the tournament. #usopen

Between the Medvedev Meltdown, Ostapenko complaining over Townsend not apologizing over a net cord that wasn't even a clean winner, and Tsitsipas complaining about an underarm serve from over an hour ago at the net, this US Open isn't short of drama.

Why is Coco Gauff trying to fix her serve when she's won Grand Slams? #usopen

My take on the biggest #legaltech story of the year

I love Taylor Townsend. That’s all

Venus Williams reminding everyone who she is #usopen

So excited to be here in Calgary for CAJ25 @cajournalists.bsky.social Come say hi! 👋🏾

Canada has a lot to think about when it comes to AI and criminal law. My latest article from @cba-nationalmag.bsky.social

Anyone else affected by #belloutage? I have 5 mtgs scheduled this afternoon 🫠

It’s an honour to be a finalist. Thank you to everyone who spoke to me. This was a difficult article to write and I appreciate my editor @carineabouseif.bsky.social and fact checker Arthur Hamdani for your support.

In Clarksdale, there's limited transportation and no movie theater. The town inspired Sinners, but many can't travel to see it in theaters. They created a petition to invite Ryan Coogler & team to host a public screening and experience the Delta. MY LATEST: capitalbnews.org/clarksdale-r...

The top 3 use cases of Generative AI in 2025: 1. Therapy/companionship 2. Organizing my life 3. Finding purpose 2 and 3 weren't on last year's top 100. I believe lawyers' human service/relationship skills will help them thrive despite AI. But I could be wrong about that. hbr.org/2025/04/how-...

Took 45 minutes to vote. Folks saying they never seen this before

A tale of two movies: Similar deal structures. Similar budgets. One made $45M from 3300 screens, post pandemic, and won the weekend. The other made $41M from 3600 screens pre-pandemic, and placed second. And yet this is the coverage.

I need people to go see Sinners in IMAX. It’s a celebration of Black culture and so funny, sexy, and scary #sinners

Thank you to everyone who spoke to me. Five months after my investigation, Allard has yet to address the issues raised. There are others who wanted to share their stories but they're afraid of retaliation. What does that say about academic freedom?

In other news, the Trump administration issued an executive order in January calling for less AI regulation. My story on what this means for Canada

For solo and small firm lawyers who want to support Perkins Coie, you can join express interest to join the amicus brief that @carolynelefant.bsky.social is drafting here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... I'm signing on. ✊ Democracy dies in silence.

Canada has a smattering of rights that pertain to the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information. However, these outdated rights place their focus at the individual level, which experts say don’t apply to how companies use data now: www.theglobeandmail.com/life/article...

Does anyone have any tips on how to get a live person on the phone with the CRA?

For three decades, Contrast covered stories Canada's legacy media ignored. "No Black Canadian newspaper before or since has had a bigger impact on the political discourse and the media landscape in #Canada." Read the fascinating history from @caradrianh.bsky.social: ricochet.media/media/the-ne...

Pretty alarming. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Black Bag is so good! The spy thriller I needed

Saw #mickey17 and didn’t expect it to be so heartwarming. Excellent dark comedy that’s a reflection of our political landscape. Robert Patterson and Naomi Ackie were so good.

The first hackathon I attended in a long time. Happy to see how far we’ve come the legal tech space

Thank you @thephilanthropist.ca for your commitment on supporting local, independent journalism. In these uncertain times, we need to support Canadian indie news outlets #journalism
