NEW: I compiled a list of 27 Canadian journalists who have gone on sponsored Israel trips organized by a Zionist group whose co-founder previously worked for an Israeli intelligence firm. The list includes some of Canadian media’s most-senior editors. www.readthemaple.com/a-list-of-jo...

I spend the first half of every massage worrying about the part when I have to turn over.

Come work for me! (Greater Toronto Area only.) We're building Questrade's new media division, producing financial content that doesn’t make people's eyes glaze over. I'm hiring a Content Lead who can help me keep everything running. jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/qfg/CA...

So, so excited for my sister Jess Shulman who started as the @theglobeandmail.com’s new puzzles and games editor this week!!

How I want to look with a middle part vs. How I actually look with a middle part

The podcast I Hate It, But I Love is, ostensibly, about movies and tv shows the hosts hate and love. But it really is about friendship, specifically the friendship between hosts @jocelyngeddie.bsky.social and @katangus.com, and about them making each other - and the listeners - laugh. Delightful

This is very cool - my podcast won best TV & Film podcast at the Canadian Podcast Awards this week! Huge thanks to my wonderful friend and cohost @jocelyngeddie.bsky.social ❤️ and to everyone who listens to/watches/supports us.

insanely good thing to say when you enter a room

I get annoyed when I hear someone say “our brains can’t make up new faces so every face you see in a dream is someone you’ve seen before.” How would you even verify that?

Welp, I just used the word “pluribussy” and I hate both a) myself and b) that I know I’m not the first one to use it

If you get divorced, do you start calling it your "wedding rang"?

I once described the movie The Platform as Tall Snowpiercer, and I still stand by that.

The Ford government has proposed a series of changes that will effectively end rent control in Ontario. It's an "apocalypse for tenants," one advocate tells The Grind. @emmapaling.bsky.social and @rdassaly.bsky.social report.

This is a question I also have. What magic are we hoping to recapture? What glory are we hoping to return to? What success are we hoping to replicate? What wins are we being tempted by? And why not at least try somebody who doesn't seem to inspire hostility everywhere he goes?

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

bro did you just challenge portland to express oppositional defiance in competitively creative ways bro

Happening now: Here’s a view of the “No Kings” protest in Washington, DC

Husband and I saw a video about paleontologists who, after many years of searching and comparing, diagnosed the first known case of bone cancer in a dinosaur, 77 million years after it lived. Me: That’s really awesome! Husband: Not for that dinosaur. Me: Yeah, too bad they didn’t catch it in time.

Pretty much every single one of these new government accounts is posting rage bait. It's possible (like 100% guaranteed) they are trying to provoke people here on purpose, so don't fall for it. Blockity block block block.

Instagram stories are now how I retweet things.

Dear luxury purses, please bring back multiple outside pockets. Also, not everything has to be pebbled leather.

Look, I just don’t think Danny Ocean needed eleven people to pull that heist off. He probably could’ve done it with, like, three or four.

the inverse of this is how much of politics is now just accepting that you have to vote for people who hate you, so your best option is to vote for people who hate other people more than they hate you

Jenny Nicholson tweet continues to not miss

Am I supposed to be watching The Summer I Turned Pretty and have an opinion about it?

“I’m so glad I’m wig blind,” my husband says as I point out Julianne Moore’s obvious one on Lisey’s Story.

I don’t think I would look good with a shaved head but I’d still like to experience shaving my head, does that make any sense?

I like my men like I like my spaghetti: twirled.

When I was younger, I saw a news report that the first stall in a public bathroom is the cleanest, so I started using that one. But how many other people saw that report and did the same thing? Maybe we did change the world, in that now the first stall is fucking disgusting.

Whenever someone types “mf” instead of “motherfucker” my brain automatically interprets it as “muhfuh”

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Uh oh, I adjusted the text on my phone to look bigger, so that’s the life stage I’ve just reached.

I should be able to DoorDash some devilled eggs

[bunch of guys who haven't read a piece of fiction in 20 years] my feeling is the kids don't read anymore

Well, my team may not have won bar trivia tonight, but I did get to tell the host that one of his questions had TWO errors in it, so I think I’m the real winner.

Karl Urban always seems like he's having a pretty good time.

Love Island is the greatest show ever made even when it sucks, I hate it so much and I hope it never ends

What a Wednesday-ass Tuesday this is.

Mamdani wins the primary with hearty support from the Jewish left, cross-endorses with Brad Lander, wins the Upper West Side, wins Dan Goldman's district, gets Jerry Nadler's endorsement The NYT:

There should be a meal like brunch, but earlier in the day and without the lunch part.

I interact with horoscopes with the same level of seriousness as I would to a maze on a medium-intensity placemat.

I remember listening to Blink-182’s “Aliens Exist” as a teen and assuming the title and lyrics were a metaphor that was just too advanced for my young brain. Then I got a bit older and realized it’s 100% literal and Tom DeLonge is just Like That.

Just found out that my aunt and uncle share an email address, which to me is worse than sharing a toothbrush.

I love @dropout.tv and I appreciate the candor and detail put into this article. Also @samreich.bsky.social rules. www.vulture.com/article/drop...

The light switch closest to the door in ANY bathroom should turn on the light. If I hit the light switch closest to the door and the fan turns on, that bathroom is a FAILURE.

I’m like a reverse X-Man, in that I can’t do any of those things.

How DARE Disney+ photoshop Kate Hudson’s HTLAGITD dress to be white?! It’s supposed to be yellow! IT’S ICONIC!!

I needed a pick-me-up, so I’m watching the new episode of the Handmaid’s Tale.

Seeing "The Newsroom" as the episode topic for this week's I Hate It But I Love It podcast genuinely made me feel giddy. I've been listening to @jocelyngeddie.bsky.social and @katangus.bsky.social talk about media for years now, so I knew what to expect. And they DELIVERED. (they didn't love it)
