Dust to dust, ashes to ashes. Long live the Imperial Pub, one of the last bastions of pre-shittification downtown Toronto.

Dumb and dumber and dumberer (saving dumberest for Doug Ford, obvs).

Would be amazing to see something like this from CBC in Canada - a way to platform new talent & diversify the sort of stories we get to tell.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I love how AI's bubble is about to burst and Canada is like, "Let's pour all our money into AI and also make Evan Solomon in charge."

You know what would soothe the heart of this Blue Jays fan, LA friends?! You signing this petition.

Finally got around to reading this. Just when you think you’re finished crying about @bluejays.com baseball…

So tired of having corrupt, ideologically-driven babies in charge of everything. Green roofs are a tiny expense that guard against flooding, decrease energy bills, and employ an industry.

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag. Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

I worked with Ellen in my first room and was in awe - she was brilliant, hilarious and always so sharp. Will never forget sitting outside the studio with she and the fab Meredith Vuchnich simultaneously laughing and crying about the many very commercials that made us weep. Rest well, lady.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

Still applies today, though more in grief and gratitude than in prayers to the #baseball gods. #BlueJays

What absolute horseshit.

100 days until pitchers and catchers report.

My heart. 💔

An Air Canada flight right now

Canada will remember.

When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same. Friction is an essential ingredient for learning! Convenience makes us shallow. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

i am in tears

the year is 2047. water is currency. emperor dwayne ‘the rock’ johnson is humankind’s last hope against the army of octopus that walked out of the seas three years ago. the dodgers and blue jays are starting the 17,432nd inning of game 3 of the 2025 world series.

This game is like I got caught smoking a baseball and now I have to smoke a whole pack of baseball

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Mamdani did this without tacking to the center by accepting republican framing and throwing marginalized people under the bus or even apologizing for being socialist; something that party operatives who actually want to win might learn from.

1. Reagan’s speech is real 2. It’s public domain 3. Americans pay the cost of the added 10% tariffs, not Canadians 4. Trump keeps lying because he thinks you’re all too stupid to fact check 5. The average family will pay an extra $4900 this year because his tariffs

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The New York Times is a right-wing newspaper that skates by under cover of its liberal arts and culture sections

I said I would do this last night but I was too tired so lets do it today. A few caveats - not saying this list is exhaustive, it's just a good place to start. It's also not in chronological order because I'm a chaos gremlin

maybe i’ll say it here because it helped me to read it from someone else: you can always put your mask back on. just because you stopped doing it all the time doesn’t mean you can’t choose to make a smart choice when the risk is higher.

"violation," the word is "violation"

An important and timely read here, folks.

Can’t wait to relive this special production of a special show on the big screen!

anybody have a line on a literary agent that reps trans authors in nonfiction/pop culture? ya girl’s got plans and needs a little help

I've decided to take my life into my hands and post something that isn't just uncritical praise of the latest PTA.

“Doth thine box rolleth on wheels?” “It doth not, good sir!” ( Original screengrab by @stevewriteswords.bsky.social )

We'd better build more AI data centers, AI will fix this problem for us -- *waits five years* The oceans have boiled and the drinking water is gone but at least all the intellectual property has been stolen and now I can use AI to create a really accurate representation of Batman fucking Pikachu

If you’re a man in the room and a public official says this about your female colleague, you don’t continue as if nothing happened.

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

Found out that Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads, if you need another reason to quit using it.

This is my first time hearing about this zine set. I'm glad to have been able to get my order in.

The feature I directed, IMPOSSIBLE HORROR, is playing at The University of Toronto this Wednesday @ 8:00 PM! I'll be there to introduce it, and do a Q&A, so come one, come all — it's totally FREE! They even cut a very cool new trailer for it: www.cinema.utoronto.ca/events/cinss...

The brother of federal Industry Minister, Mélanie Joly, is the president and CEO of Intelcom, a courier company that exploits subcontracted delivery drivers for pennies per package. It stands to benefit mightily from the dismantlement and privatization of public postal services in Canada.

The Canadian Government is seeking input around AI. I strongly encourage everyone to give it - and not just because the questions make clear the focus is squarely not on public safety or the climate risks of the technology.

Canadians: The federal government is seeking public input on how AI should be developed and used in business, research, and the military. If this scares the shit out of you, please let them know:
