Today the Friends of the Merril got a bluesky account! #MerrilCollection #TPL #Toronto

Yes we absolutely can

The last screening at the Beaches Cinema

Kyle Lowry should play in every All-Star Game.

TESH LIVE

RIP Bud Cort. How else would you even pay tribute to him.

Toronto is like a haunted house in a gothic novel, actively trying to make its residents feel so unwelcome they either go mad or move out.

Tuning into Olympics coverage takes me from “who is Hashimoto?” to, three minutes later: “wow, this really isn’t like Hashimoto.”

Brad Bradford is such a slippery dork that you can’t even use real words to describe him. He’s the slithiest of toves.

Councillor James Pasternak says providing visitor parking is an important part of dealing with "chronic loneliness." Councillors Cheng and Holyday also brought up parking as a way to make people feel less lonely.

Side research find: did you know that living in an apartment as opposed to a suburban single family home causes fathers to lose their virility? So claimed a York U sociology prof in this April 22, 1968 Globe and Mail article...

Tonight I watched Prime Minister Mark Carney take the actual Heated Rivalry Canada fleece from Hudson Williams, slip it on and say: “This is true soft power.”

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Target Center dunkers wear “ICE OUT” t-shirts

"Today we remember that freedom is not free. We have to work at it, nurture it, protect it, and even sacrifice for it."

"It is well to look at the world without blinders — but our leaders cannot forget that the choices they make ought to be informed by a vision of the world they want, not merely the world as it is." www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

RFK Jr. appointee Kirk Milhoan has just clearly stated, out loud, that he wants to experiment on the people of the United States by seeing what happens as vaccination coverage plummets and infectious diseases spread.

It’s been a journey. After months of planning, sketching, jackhammering, sawing, painting (and a few things I’m definitely forgetting) - The Rundown’s studio is finally complete.

"i have Friends everywhere" is blood-chilling to anyone who understands

Many of you noticed I went completely to ground. This is why. If you are the praying type, we would appreciate your prayers. For those who may be able to offer medical help or options, please reach out — I’m easy to find.

Hey guys. This is going to be the most personal update I’ve ever shared publicly. I live in public view — my work does, anyway. I’ve never been shy about sharing my ideas or passions. But I’ve always worked very hard to keep my family out of view.

Lowry chirping back at Embiid that they're going "where you lost Game 7 at" is great stuff

Here's a thread about some of my work: bsky.app/profile/owas...

These guys. Those Minnesota teens who slagged ICE off the other week. The hockey podcasters covering Heated Rivalry. Sporty-ish white guys who aren't consumed by bigotry and hate have a real opportunity right now and should seize it (even if they're not opportunistic).

Here's the full moment of silence including a fan yelling "Go home, ICE"

Very sad to say it seems Mike Fossey, aka Mike F. has died. Truly one of the funniest posters of all time and a talented artisan. Had been friends online for many years, but I got to hang out a couple times at shows in Boston and he was funny and sweet in real life too.

The Atlantic suggesting, without evidence, that Canada's Global TV broadcasting the '60 Minutes' segment on CECOT that CBS distributed to it may have been an act of "treachery." 🔗: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

More about escapism so possibly not relevant to this. But I find myself thinking about Sullivan’s Travels pretty regularly: "There's a lot to be said for making people laugh. Did you know that's all some people have? It isn't much, but it's better than nothing in this cockeyed caravan."

Anthony Geary and his husband Claudio Gama, with Max the cat. RIP Tony. #MenWithCats

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

A friend just told me that the character of Ritchie Petrie, young son in The Dick Van Dyke Show, was modelled after Rob Reiner. Dick Van Dyke was inspired by his friend's son. My family drank a toast yesterday to Van Dyke's 100th. Just inconceivable, all of it.

Been thinking about Phil Hartman recently. Years later, still kind of can’t believe it. His wife had one line in a movie: North. Seems like Rob Reiner might’ve introduced them. Not suggesting there's any significance to that whatsoever. Just struck by family tragedies and people gone too soon.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008. Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

Visited a website I haven’t updated since 2013. Incredible stuff. I did basic shape-related illustrations in Pages. Put them in a gallery, for some reason. Didn’t know how to link them to the posts, so there are now free-floating images like this:

70% of those diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome are women & those with EDS are more likely to be diagnosed with Craniocervical Instability. It takes 4 to 16 years to be diagnosed with EDS. Because of how complicated both conditions are, we’re working on a miniseries on this. Look for early 2026.

Shouldn't it? I mean, you’d never know you were in a box would you? It would be just like you were asleep in a box. Not that I’d like to sleep in a box, mind you. Not without any air. You'd wake up dead for a start and then where would you be? In a box. RIP Tom Stoppard

Have heard this said about George Harrison. Find this charming. “Y’all really think he quiet, but we’re starting to see it now, he’s talking,” says Shead. “Like, he won’t shut up. He won’t shut up.” www.sportsnet.ca/nba/longform...

I’m so saddened by the loss of Alice Wong, truly one of the good ones, to whom community-building came naturally. A great writer, activist, and person. bsky.app/profile/sesm...

He is remembered as a “Friends star,” but Matthew Perry wanted his legacy to be helping others. Matthew Perry House is making that happen, hosting a star-studded fundraiser with @makemusicmatter.bsky.social tonight. @jeyantvo.bsky.social spoke with Perry’s sister Caitlin Morrison.

(Snarky about the study involving "cognitive rehabilitation." Not about @thesicktimes.org.)

Was going to say something snarky about this part: "The RECOVER-NEURO clinical trial found that 'cognitive rehabilitation' failed in treating Long COVID." But then saw this. Affinity for breakfast, fine. But I could have told them cheese was not protective. thesicktimes.org/2025/11/11/r...
