Yikes. At that font size and placement, did #CIBC also secure the rights to name at least one member of its executive team to the starting five each night?

How hard is it to work at @theonion.com these days? I need a Netflix documentary into their editorial meetings.

This is about the hardest thing I have watched in some time. Such a perfect messenger for this story, a powerful penance for a man whose overly sappy reporting has “whitewashed” - his words - these tragedies for years. #AllTheEmptyRooms #Netflix youtu.be/JhpJ8INsR0g?...

Happy #TheLastWaltz day to those who celebrate. Although our first without a living member of #TheBand, we've been blessed in recent years with a Robbie Robertson book and doc, a Scorsese doc, as well as an amazing soundtrack reissue. More alive than ever! www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgFk...

When I spoke with Michael Ray Richardson last year, he’d just finished his autobiography, 'Banned: How I Squandered an All-Star NBA Career Before Finding My Redemption'. Who knew it would be his last interview about his time in London leading the Lightning. #LdnOnt gamedaylondon.com/bolts-out-of...

Still love a small-venue concert. Would totally support bands putting in place the same rules for the whole crowd that they often do for media: "You can shoot as much as you want for the first three songs, then put the cameras away."

For those of you who have recovered enough from the #BlueJays season-ending disappointment to re-engage with Toronto sports, might I interest you in my recent review of 'We The #Raptors,' a fine book out now. miramichireader.ca/2025/11/we-t...

Almost a decade later, this is still one of the most meaningful things I have written. My Dad passed away the previous year, so Duncan's beautiful story of finding peace with his Dad's disappearance set deep roots in me to this day. #RemembranceDay #VeteransDay news.westernu.ca/2016/11/wing...

Warren Zevon “Excitable Boy” 1978 Elektra/Asylum Missed the Rock and Roll HOF last night, but I caught a short clip of Letterman’s induction speech for WZ. Do find it if you’re of a mind. Touching, funny words. #NowSpinning #VinylSky #Vinyl

I don’t know what had been going on in my head minutes before, but when I woke up to use the bathroom at 4 a.m., my brain was already mid-‘The Fall Guy’ TV show theme song. youtu.be/bIcqCrtSpOE?...

Looks like someone is taking that new Canva Pro subscription out for a test run.

“I am tired of rewarding failure in this country,” says the governor of the state ranked #50 in crime, #50 in economy, #46 in education, #46 in financial stability, #44 in health care, #48 in infrastructure, and #46 in opportunity. (Source: U.S. News and World Report)

Buck better slow down. He’s already lining up #BlueJays candidates for #WorldSeries #MVP. Long way to go in this series against this team.

Want to really scare some people? Start hanging Farhi signs. #LdnOnt

The Basketball Super League will return with six teams for its 2025-26 season, although only five were announced today – KW Titans, Lake Erie Jackals, Montreal Toundra, Sudbury Five, and Windsor Express. The post-#LondonLightning era begins Dec. 27. #LdnOnt #BSL @gamedaylondon.bsky.social

Very cool interview in the Miramichi Reader with @jasonwinders.bsky.social chatting with me about my book Habs Nation, how the Canadiens are more than just a sports team, and how big a role they play in Quebec society. miramichireader.ca/2025/10/habs...

Love to see this same energy for criminals inside the department, as well. How about a 'reverse onus' clause in the next police contract where officers charged with a felony must argue why receiving their pay while suspended is justified? #LdnOnt

Thanks for your emails about today’s #BSL announcement. Just wanted to take a few moments to answer some of your questions: @gamedaylondon.bsky.social

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

Reminded of this master class of consistency, clarity, and calm by @maitlis.bsky.social of @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social. Still amazing. This interview should be studied in every journalism classroom (if those still exist). #PrinceAndrew #JeffreyEpstein #thenewsagents www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtBS...

Good Morning.

It's easy to forget how much silly fun still exists in the world. A recent interview for an upcoming project led to my discovery of this wonderful (and, yes, weird) event that seems like it would be an absolute blast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-Iy...

Jason is the most Gen X white guy name. Change my mind.

I know the #StlCards are going to be tempted by some cheesy ideas to improve game day experience at Busch (please, for the love of god, nothing involving Adam Wainwright and a guitar). That said, they could do worse than this idea!

Stumbled across Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator (1940), a funny, satirical masterpiece. Haven't see it since college. I had forgotten the film ends in this speech that, perhaps, might be worth a watch today (and every day for the next three years) as a reminder. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7GY...

We’ve all been there. Thought we were the first to discover something millions have loved for years. I have dozens of college stories like that. But, dude, I didn’t write about it in the Wall Street Journal. Plus, you’re 50 years old! How have you not appreciated Cash in half a century of life?

Do I need to submit a formal request for a #griersonandleitch review segment? Or is it just a given? #StlCards @williamfleitch.bsky.social

There will be no Lightning in the forecast for the 2025-26 Basketball Super League (BSL) season, as Canada’s most decorated professional basketball franchise has called it quits on the eve of the upcoming season. #LdnOnt gamedaylondon.com/lightning-cr...

We are losing something by having newsrooms where everyone who has more than a few years’ experience has gotten fired. I don’t fault a young writer for not knowing about things that happened before she was born. But now there are no editors to help give context to these stories, either.

#OTD Cardinals were 77-77 when eliminated from the playoffs on Sept. 20, 2024. They went 6-2 in garbage time to finish above .500. Gonna be another sprint to mediocrity this week. #StlCards

Spotted this abandoned on the recycling bin while I was making some copies today. Follow me for more lifestyle and fitness advice.

Uncle! Anyone else exhausted by lectures from local media types about how fans should think and behave? We get it. You’re covering an uninteresting team (and spending way too much time on social media), but it has been constant this season. #StlCards #ForTheLou #Cardinals

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel. This is a must-watch. 🔥 #cdnpoli

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

In 2019 Kawhi Leonard’s uncle asked the Raptors for a piece of the Leafs and a Paul George trade, but also for two notable extras: no-show sponsorships, and ownership shares in outside companies. Which he seems to have gotten with Aspiration, and the Clippers. www.thestar.com/sports/rapto...

Canada needs to take this seriously, perhaps consider travel advisories for U.S./Florida as it has become dangerously dumb. Way too many snowbirds travel south in the winter and god knows what they're going to be dragging back north that they picked up from a waitress at the Fort Myers Chili's.

Perfect snapshot of our current reality. Pablo: I’ve done seven months of research, interviewed dozens of key figures, examined 1,000s of documents, and hold all the receipts proving this investigation. Mark Cuban: I am rich and have an opinion based on being rich. youtu.be/NwXcEG5BA6U?...

Gotta say, this interview is as much of a must-listen as you can get in #LdnOnt media - and it's a heck of a ride at times. Spend the 52 minutes with Craig and Shmuel. Well worth the time.

My worry isn’t that Chaim will trade the wrong player off this team, it’s that he can’t trade anyone because nobody wants them. #StlCards

Once again calling for the MLBPA to designate this day as Curt Flood Day. And a shout-out to all unions, including my local CUPE. Workers unite.

Story idea for #StlCards media: For one game, ditch the press pass and press box buffet. Sit with the fans. Ask why they are there, how far they traveled, how much they spent (tickets, parking, snacks, etc.). Ask why they don’t go more. Social media has warped your reporting. Ground it in reality.

Do I have some news for you about ‘Like A Virgin’.

People who see my bookshelves ask if I’ve read all those books. That would be bragging. My shelves are a promise to future me that I’ll always have something to read.

Not just military. The complicitness of local police has been the most disappointing. Wild to see decades of work cultivating community support and cooperation completely trashed in a handful weeks.

Imagine being so confident in your entitlement that you jump at the chance to be the face of people who oppose a kids' playground because * checks story again * "we don't want people in the neighbourhood." #LdnOnt #OldSouthProblems #NIMBY

Dear Smithsonian.......send your historical records to Canada before they're destroyed.

Hey, this sounds like a fun way to spend 90 minutes on a fall afternoon! Excited to make my Writers' Assembly debut next month at this workshop. Hope to see you there. Sign up here: vanessashields.com/writers-asse... #windsor #windsorontario #yqg

Their Letterman appearances. Magic book and movie. Being ribbed at the magic shop for liking them. (That’s right, ladies, I hung at a magic shop a bit.) Even mimicking their banter with my friend Kent. Funny how much these two shaped my sense of humour growing up.
