Did carney just get booed at the grey cup game or was that just weird sound mixing?

Excellent piece from my city hall colleague Mahdis Habibinia today showing how the traffic calming options the province has suggested as alternatives to speed cameras just don’t work in most Toronto locations: www.thestar.com/news/gta/dou...

On Thursday night, Toronto city council made a pretty big change that toughens their encampment protocol, and has left people on the frontlines with more questions than answers on what this means for homeless people: www.thestar.com/news/gta/tor...

From a devastating story this morning on a boy testifying at his brother's murder trial, I followed a link to an older story by @alyshah.bsky.social on courtroom facility dogs for children. What a story. Excerpt in next post... #GiftLink 🎁 www.thestar.com/news/gta/how...

Thought this was a lovely, poignant bit of writing by my colleague @gbayliss.bsky.social www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

If you’ve been along Eglinton in the last few months you might have noticed something large and hairy developing in the distance. It’s turned out to be a massive Lincoln monument-style statue.. with a female grizzly bear on the seat instead. I spoke to the sculptor: www.thestar.com/news/gta/a-g...

THE JOURNALISM I HAVE BEEN WAITNG FOR

This is unlike any Toronto police undercover work to get a murder confession I think I've ever seen. Story from the Star's Jacques Gallant: www.thestar.com/news/gta/how...

Today @TheNewYorker released our short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” online. It traces the ongoing effects of the sudden shutdown of US foreign aid through the story of one mother in Kenya as she seeks to save her daughter from sickness and starvation. 🎥 1/ www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Well there’s still a chance I’ll win the 50-50

God do I have to watch baseball now?

Devastating but glad I watched it. What an iconic group. What a thing to have witnessed.

what if instead of sports we chose happiness

Literally shaking

I am a bad bitch, I’m Trey Yesavage (sorry this is what is in my head rn)

HANG IT IN THE LOUVRE

Love Ernie Clement so much man, that was some league of their own posing there

Now I know why they chew all that damn gum all the time

Still giggling at the bullpen guys jogging alllllll across the field to join the fracas

I am enjoying the bits and pieces of max scherzer lore that I have gathered but is there a very good, deep dive profile that anyone can recommend?

Everyone who talks about bail reform should also have to read Brendan Kennedy’s investigation of the abuse “akin to torture” of people awaiting trial, and the cover-up at Maplehurst jail. www.thestar.com/news/investi...

I got experimental brain surgery. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Game 7s aren’t triggering at all, I will be very normal and relaxed

I appreciate the effort on other Gausman signs but you really can’t beat Wizard of Gaus

Today is the last day you can take Toronto’s pre-budget survey on what you’d like to see the city do in the upcoming budget. ca.mar.medallia.com?e=473347&d=e...

Yes, well, police across Ontario significantly reduced enforcing speed offences (and traffic offences writ large) specifically on the theory that cameras could do the job better. So, this should be no surprise. www.thestar.com/news/gta/dou...

I volunteered to work the night the raptors won it all. My assignment involved wandering around the mostly deserted streets of downtown Toronto documenting how people were watching the game (I caught a bit of it on a TV inside one of the bank buildings).

"Since his call-out post for “The Black Jays Project,” it’s already spread beyond what Morgan imagined. He’s received tons of messages from people, confirming what he’s always known — Black folks have been loving the Blue Jays as long as he’s been loving baseball."

A heartwarming little story about a photographer’s project to document Black Blue Jays fans: www.thestar.com/sports/blue-...

Never mind me, I’m just crying after reading this beautiful story about Davis Schneider and his siblings. www.thestar.com/sports/blue-...

I regret to inform everyone that my pedantic brain couldn’t let me live until I knew whether or not dodger blue and blue jays blue are the same blue. They are ONE PANTONE NUMBER APART.

Wooooooooooo!

This is somehow a baseball account now so here are a few features I’ve enjoyed as someone who doesn’t really follow baseball: www.thestar.com/business/bar...

I should never have started watching this game

!!!

What if this game can’t end until they don’t walk Ohtani?

You know, I asked the TTC spox what would happen if a home game went past subway closing time and he didn’t seem concerned about that possibility. Well, well, well.

I think Max Scherzer has rested long enough, get him back out there next

I’m watching the World Series. I’m taking part o the Stanford prison experiment. I’m at the combination World Series/Stanford prison experiment

Like Addison Barger, I may just fall asleep on the couch

Game 3 of the World Series will continue until morale improves.

Shout out to the production crew, those camera guys must be exhausted, the editing fingers weary

The worst part is my baby appears to actually be sleeping through the night as things stand, and yet I am awake
