This is a general note for all of us who make starter/booster packs, on the one hand, and for people who follow us on the other that might be affected by our packs. Make sure no one is in a list that doesn’t want to be there. There are solid reasons why some people might not want the exposure. 1/2

I remember when the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts opened in 1971. I've watched countless Kennedy Center Honors galas over the years. It will always be the Kennedy Center to me.

We’ve lost a legend.

This is the highlight of the year. Get your requests in now.

Shocked by the awful death of Rob Reiner. I spoke with him for over an hour last night. We talked about his work and his plans for the future. I always enjoyed his company. We met at his Dad's in 1975. Last thing he said to me was "See you next year.." Such a terrible end. Such a sweet man.

Right now on The Early Edition: New research out of UBC is looking at the developmental health of the children who were born during the pandemic. The study assessed more than 30 thousand kindergarteners in B.C. And the findings are concerning. Watch here:www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

In 1989, Marc Lépine killed 14 female engineering students at Montreal's École Polytechnique. Canada established December 6 as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, urging action against gender-based violence. It surrounds us still. Never forget.

The Rubber Duck Museum in Point Roberts, Washington is moving across the border to Tsawwassen Mills, BC. The owners say Canadians have stopped coming, and tariffs have driven up the cost of ducks. Listen Here: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

For the Disability community, losing Alice Wong is like losing Ursula Le Guin or Octavia Butler. She was a powerhouse, a pioneer, and a mentor to many. She taught me so much. And always reminded me what we were fighting towards, as well as against. I miss her clarity, bravery, and joy.

This is devastating news that will take a long time to process. A few names come to mind as giants we've lost in the disability community - Judy Heumann, Jim Derksen, Ing Wong-Ward - and so many more. Alice is now among them. "Don't let the bastards grind you down." Will do. Thank you Alice.

BORN READY! Let's go, Blue Jays!

I was hoping for Vladimir Guerrero Senior to throw out the first pitch tonight. And have Vladdy catch it. #BlueJays @rogerscentre.bsky.social

Hoping with all my heart that our #BlueJays win Game Seven tonight. But no matter what, this was a magical year, and I hope we feel tons of joy and pride in Canada's team. They've been a gift this year. Keeping this song in my head today. youtu.be/hFDcoX7s6rE?...
