This is also proof that there is no dress code at the Globe and Mail.

Thank you CBC for including "This visitor" in your slideshow for your Drake ice story. It's definitely not a reporter for a competing outlet taking measurements. Probably just a regular guy doing a normal thing

Wholesome father goals for me [El Chiringuito] Athletic Club fan supports Real Sociedad because of his wife and daughter. He gave his ticket to his daughter so she could watch the Copa del Rey final: "By philosophy, I love Athletic. By love, I support La Real"

The greatest fun when reading Asterix as an adult comes from the clever pun in the French original. I was curious how the English version translated them. Sometimes the same joke works in both languages, for eg. the allusion to Pascal's famous principle, Cogito, Ergo Sum (I think, therefore I am).

Not a few 1980s music videos being mocked here.

For years, @jkbjournalist.bsky.social tried to land her dream job: reporter at her hometown Philly @Inquirer.com Instead, she reported for papers in Bethlehem & Bucks County & the Inqy’s tabloid rival Philly Daily News. Today, the Inqy profiled her as “The woman who took down Jeffrey Epstein.”

Canada wasn't just built on fishing, logging and trading fur. It was also cheap rum and the exploitation of alcohol dependence.

I don't know that there's been properly rigorous work on this, but I strongly suspect that the prevalence of anxiety, depression and related trouble is unusually high among journalists, and not necessarily as a *result* of doing journalism. www.readtheline.ca/p/kevin-newm...

Tell me about a complicated man. Muse, tell me how he wandered and was lost when he had wrecked the holy town of Troy, and where he went, and who he met, the pain he suffered on the sea, and how he worked to save his life and bring his men back home.

1. As some of you know, my mom is Azeri, from Tabriz, in the Northwest of Iran. The native language in Tabriz is South Azerbaijani-Turkish, but most people are bilingual and also speak Persian. My mom used to sing this Azerbaijani folk song “Sakineh Dai Gizi” to me when I was little…

Listening to SAXOPHONE COLOSSUS by Sonny Rollins (ts), Tommy Flanagan (p), Doug Watkins (b), and Max Roach (d). Since I'm on and off about Rollins, it had been a very long while since I put that one on. Turns out, it's a classic for reasons. Jazzsky #jazz

Holy jeans 'n' joggers! This story is incredible www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

Sorry for nitpicking but if you're going to use Vietnamese diacritical marks, why do it for only one of the two words, putting the accent on bánh, but not on mì? Mì means wheat. So bánh mì = wheat cake, in other words, bread. Mi is an eyelash, as in lông mi. Bánh mi doesn't make sense.

ANOTHER Conservative MP has crossed the floor to the Liberals. Marilyn Gladu, who represents Sarnia. This...is an interesting one.

So much good stuff in this story from March about the heirs of an enslaved, defiant potter, whose works now sell for millions, getting together to negotiate restitution with the museums who own the jars he created and carved his angry thoughts into (nyt gift): www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/a...

What happened on the first lunar mission, Apollo 8, was even worse than that. Apollo 8 is the flight most similar to Orion-Artemis II, a fly-by of the moon. The following is from Andrew Chaikin's very good book about the Apollo program, A Man on the Moon Warning: graphic details ...

Underrated musical fact. So many great pianists from Quebec. Of course, Bruce Liu, 2021 Chopin competition winner. But also Charles Richard-Hamelin, runner-up 2015 Chopin competition, and Louis Lortie and Marc-André Hamelin, here in Rachmaninov Prelude Op32 No5 www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRLF...

It was at 8pm, Eastern Standard Time (admittedly I'm posting this in BST!) on the 3rd of April 1956 when the CBC broadcast, live from Studio 1 on Jarvis Street in Toronto, the play Flight into Danger - the play which begat Airplane! and, arguably in a way, #DoctorWho...

When you cover space missions, the hours are subject to whatever complex orbital calculations shaped the flight planning. So tomorrow night, journalists get a chance to ask questions to Jeremy Hansen from space. The only inconvenience: the events starts at 12:45 am, (video connection at 01:10 am).

I just learned that the astronaut Michael Collins had the same dangerous situation during the 1966 Gemini 10 flight that @cmdr-hadfield.bsky.social experienced 35 years later during a space shuttle mission: eyes irritated during a spacewalk because of the anti-fog coating inside his helmet's visor.

Afghanistan’s most popular phone-in TV show is hosted by an unveiled woman who airs viewers’ complaints about the Taliban, up to 6000 calls per show.

Yesterday, I shared an obit of the long-time NYT foreign correspondent John Burns and I remain captivated by the photos he took while posted in China for the Globe in the early 1970s. Such a contrast with today's booming nation, with its high-speed trains and shiny skyscrapers.

Obit. A posting in Beijing, brought about by a dust-up with Pierre Trudeau, put John Burns on a path to a storied career and two Pulitzer Prizes. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...
