One of the very best to do it. nypost.com/2025/11/13/s...

Beautiful team, beautiful run. Will take a while to get over.

Really cool night for Sportnet+ app to keep dying. Not like it’s 400 bucks a year and the World Series

You absolutely send that guy in the 10th. Chill.

Hmmm, the colonel is in the house?

My book Live to See the Day is off to the printer and available for preorder. I’d love it if you bought a copy or spread the word. It took me around the world — and took seven years to write! Which is fitting for a book about things that might never happen. www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/645965...

Being a Toronto Blue Jays/New York Rangers fan has been pretty painful since 1995.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

What happens when a fandom obsessed w/ mass killers starts generating its own? Since 2024, the True Crime Community (TCC) has been linked to 16 school shootings/disrupted plots. Attackers seek notoriety, borrowing from past killers w/ a “memetic” twist. ISD analysis & what prevention requires below.

This was a $120M opening in my circle.

John Mulaney, pretty funny.

Forgot to cancel Britbox so, what’s good there?

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

A warning I often repeat for those working with attacker manifestos, like the one in Minnesota: resist the temptation to seize on one element that aligns with your own political or policy concern and elevate it as the only motive. Don't strip-mine manifestos to suit your current political project.

Not sure we need AI-enabled smokers.

This is great from @joshokane.bsky.social.

Oasis was fun but it’ll take the 1971 Rolling Stones to get me to go back to Rogers Stadium. Just the worst!

The last time I saw Oasis, Noel got jumped on stage and Liam was forced to defend his brother in public. Hope it goes better for them tonight.

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes

Is there anything dumber than parking somewhat illegally because you want to be on time for the doctor?

Fascinating story by @tessowen.bsky.social on people trying to reconnect to their MAGA parents via book clubs. One woman promised to attend church if her ailing father reads 3 books. “It would be good to know that when I go one day, I’ll see my daughter again,” he says. www.wired.com/story/people...

Was back home on PEI for this and really apparent how unready the island is for climate change, just at a practical level. Many homes and businesses don’t have AC, playgrounds have little shade or water, etc. When I moved away 20 years ago, days over 25C felt rare. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Gee, it’s not like the experts all predicted this would happen. globalnews.ca/news/1133482...

It's wild how many of Toronto's current problems can be traced back to "knock on effect from Rob Ford tearing up the Transit City plan as the first thing he did as mayor."

For the billionth time, it’s not the tariffs, it’s the takeover threat.

Doug Ford's 401 tunnel is a fantasy that will almost certainly never come true. It should still worry us. A lot. thewalrus.ca/a-highway-to...

It’s possible for something to both be a power grab and a distraction.

Cannot recommend highly enough reading older non-fiction.

Meta fired its fact-checkers, citing concerns of liberal bias, and replaced them with a version of X's "Community Notes." How's that going? Well, my coworker @geoffreyfowler.bsky.social proposed 65 fact-checks debunking false posts... and only 3 got approved. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

This article’s main source literally says cartels are not moving fentanyl production to Canada but they ‘sure could’ if they wanted. apple.news/ALzIWJXZqQMq...

I’d do this tonight if I was home in Toronto and not at the PEI tractor pulls.

Last fall, I attended the premiere of a film that meant a lot to me. In late January, all of its hundreds of planned screenings were canceled without explanation. For @defector.com, I went digging:

AI is bloatware, pass it on.

In amazons very silly War of the Worlds remake, the aliens attack a park north of Winnipeg, and leave all of eastern Canada and the UK alone. 🤷

Media outlets can't pivot to AI to save themselves. It's not a business strategy and it's not going to work. The only path forward is for journalists to lean into their humanity, to do things AI can't, and to make clear they are writing for people, not algorithms: www.404media.co/the-medias-p...

The best thing I’ve read on this mess from an American publication.

Can’t help but think if these cameras were meant to catch cyclists, Toronto police would have caught the culprits.
