Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Bicycles travel at the speed of observation.

First-ever snowshoe run commute to the office this morning.

BREAKING JOGGLING NEWS: Sam Dean of Madison, Wisconsin, has set a new #joggling marathon Guinness World Record of 2:49:56 at the Memphis Marathon, breaking my previous mark of 2:50:12 from 18 years ago by just 16 seconds.

The Polar Bear Marathon in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada, certainly lived up to its name this year. (Photos from a friend’s dad who was there setting up the course.)

New season of Arrested Development just dropped in Canada.

Where were you during the Great Sandwich Punning of 2025?

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

“You're not alone in wanting a better world, one in which cars are relegated to their proper use. Cars are tools that can be useful at certain times and places. They’re not gods. They’re not the foundation of our society. They should serve us. We should not serve them. There can be life after cars.”

I remember watching the Jays win in 1993 in the University of King’s College bar in Halifax, NS, and there was no stress.

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

That was so much fun to watch.

oh right, by popular demand here's the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ali2...

It’s a great time to be Geddy Lee.

Sportsnet with the after-the-fact coarse language warning for the Blue Jays 😆

Canadian Jean-Marc Doiron ran yesterday’s Toronto Waterfront Marathon while juggling every step of the way, with only one drop, in 3:01:57. He was on pace to break the joggling marathon Guinness World Record of 2:50:12 through the half in 1:23 but faded with muscle cramps. Amazing effort.

Hands-free cellphone calls while driving are just as dangerous and should be banned from auto tech.

Velomobile ftw! youtu.be/IoZ1tY0zaFY?...

I love that the "OK Blue Jays" song is just a reminder for the team to play the appropriate sport

I wish "antifa" had not gained such widespread usage. If we just said "anti-fascist," then it would be immediately clear to anyone what the opposite of that is.

Shot in my home town!

Happy #equinox!

I DNFed the Haliburton Forest 100 Mile Trail Race but took the best nap of my life at 110k.

I wrote a book ab this. It isn't evenly distributed. It happened gradually over a decade. Recommendation engines helped. But mostly it's the product of a propaganda campaign that made being anti-vax an article of *right wing identity*. 📖 Invisible Rulers: The People Who Turn Lies Into Reality.

Small towns have most of the amenities of daily life. For people who live and work in the same town, the only trips outside the town are occasional things like shopping in the big city or seeing a specialist in another town, things a car share would excel at. Most trips are bikeable!

This obituary is remarkable. Nina must have been an absolute force.

Through the wild adventures of others and about 1,000 scientific studies, THE EXPLORER’S GENE by Alex Hutchinson will take you on a journey into your own self. I came away from it itching to apply its lessons to my life. (Disclosure: Alex is a friend.)

Brilliant essay in @theglobeandmail.com by Dan Rubinstein about the power of 'blue space.' Gift article: www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/e246a0a...

Just finished reading WATER BORNE by my old journalism school pal Dan Rubinstein. Terrific read about the power of “blue space” that will make you laugh, cry and think. Bonus: there’s a mention of my joggling marathon record in there.

Happy World Bicycle Day.

Clowning around on the CN Tower with U.K. joggler Scott Jenkins. #joggling

Two jogglers at last Saturday’s Victoria Park Beach Parkrun in Cobourg, Ontario as I was joined by visiting U.K. joggler Scott Jenkins. #parkrun #joggling

he's out

Great turnout (including the mayor) at the inaugural Victoria Park Beach #parkrun in Cobourg, Ontario, Canada.

As a dad rock fan and a dad of a trans kid who is also a dad rock fan, I can't wait (for us both) to read this.

A lot of Americans don't know this, but the winner of the Canadian election will be required live in a small cottage located in the backyard of the palace where the viceroy to the King of England lives. The cottage just recently got a new wifi router, which was very exciting for all Canadians.

Around this date 20 years ago, my wife looked at our credit card bill and wondered why there was a charge of $80 for juggling balls. I broke the news that I had decided to train to break the Guinness World Record for the fastest joggling marathon.

Canada’s Rory Linkletter 6th place at the Boston Marathon in 2:07:02!

Let’s goooo.

Shkodër, Albania. So many people of all ages riding bikes.

Going on vacation tomorrow to Canadians’ new favourite destination: Not the United States.

I still don't think Americans appreciate the degree to which Canada is in the midst of a total anti-American vibe shift.

[LOOKS AROUND AT THE WORLD] And people made fun of me because running marathons while juggling was outrageous and weird.

The Detroit Marathon crosses the Canadian border into Windsor and has long been a symbol of friendly relations between the two countries. How many Canadian runners will forfeit their race bibs for the sold-out 2025 event on Oct. 19?

The Barkley Marathons course is just like the United States right now. Cruel attacks on Americans and foreign allies alike. #BM100

Today I ran past a house with a tattered F🍁ck Trudeau flag next to a Merry Christmas banner, stuck in December 2024.
