Lorde in Toronto! A jam-packed setlist, creative lighting, and a loud crowd that couldn’t get enough. Ribs was the last song, an emotional and fitting end to an amazing concert.

Sunday runday 🏃‍♂️

Amazing performance of Orff’s Carmina Burana by the @torontosymphony.bsky.social and Toronto Mendelssohn Choir. My first time hearing it performed live, and a wonderful way to kick off the new season!

Dua! Such a fun, sexy, joyful show. Radical Optimism is what we all need a bit of right now.

Fun evening hearing Curtis Sittenfeld talk about her new collection of short stories, Show Don’t Tell. Can’t wait to read it!

Doug Ford wins an election with an embarrassing turnout that changes absolutely nothing. If Ford’s first triumph in 2018 was a “change” election, then the campaign of 2025 was about leaving Ontario unchanged, seven years later. #Opinion

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.
