Loved this episode. Vote Berube!

RIP Stephen Lewis - A genuinely inspiring public figure in Canadian life. He reminded us all not to be cynical, and to fight against the forces of entropy in politics. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

In two weeks, I'll be giving my @radiobootcamp.bsky.social class about documentaries. Using examples from my work on @99pi.org, The Dropout, 30 for 30 + more, I'll walk through making a radio doc, soup-to-nuts. These sell out, so get your spot now! radiobootcamp.org/classes/how-...

To anyone not into baseball I’m sorry but also get into baseball

Yikes

Pretending like you are going to war instead of a baseball tournament and then losing at baseball is super funny

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN, MY FRIENDS.

Couldn’t have happened to a less likeable Team USA!

Social media manager: My Mayor, could you do a quick video for St. Patrick's Day? Like, 'happy St. Patty's, today we're all a little bit Irish,' something like that? Zohran Mamdani: You got it!

They’re making this too easy.

This was the best moment of the night.

it would be an honor to get killed by a shohei ohtani home run ball conking me in the head at 200mph

Alright I’m at the world baseball classic, enemy territory. What could go wrong??

It's very important to me that Jacques Tati win March Madness at @blankcheck.bsky.social this year. He may be the *ultimate* BC director. Dude built an entire fake Paris + bankrupted some people + made one of the greatest movies ever in the process. Vote here! -- www.blankcheckpod.com/march-madness

Have you ever wanted to see Roman as a head sticking out of a toilet discussing the surprisingly profound meaning behind the brain rot web-series Skibidi Toilet? Well then, we’ve got just the thing for you! youtu.be/l3r73BiSxDQ?...

If there's media you care about, it's hard to overstate how important it is that you subscribe to it. Ad rates are garbage, and the changes to search mean fewer new folks discovering sites they didn't already visit.

Went to the world baseball classic, not for nationalism, just love of the beautiful beautiful game of baseball!

Seeing people I know post Jian Ghomeshi videos about Iran in the wake of what happened today. I’m realizing now a lot of people outside of Canada don’t know his backstory. I would encourage folks to look him up before posting his content, please www.thestar.com/news/gta/jia...

If you heard Jacob Reed on @99pi.org last year, he has a whole new podcast on name doppelgängers, and it’s incredibly fun. Check out “Jacob Reed and Me”! I’m really enjoying it. jacobreedandme.com

This signing makes absolutely no sense and I am completely delighted

Tom Noonan died, are you serious? Same week as Frederick Wiseman and Robert Duvall? Brutal, what fresh hell will tomorrow bring. Watch Synecdoche, New York. He holds his own and his whole part is alongside PSH at height of his powers. Man, this one hurts. m.youtube.com/watch?v=d4u6...

The impact of Frederick Wiseman on nonfiction filmmaking was seismic beyond measure and beyond compare. Like how do you even begin to consider his influence on documentary technique or his decades of insight into how institutions (and artistic spaces) operate? What a treasure. R.I.P.

Played Pictionary with my grandma. The rules: everyone is given a prompt and has to draw it, then their teammate has to guess the prompt. Anyway, this is what my grandmother thinks Dracula looks like. In her defense, she’s “never met one before” so didn’t know how to depict it.

I never noticed this either.

The Canadian delegation should always be walked in by Youppi! I feel strongly about this.

Delighted my review of “Misercordia” was included in The Reveal’s year-end reader survey. I will say, my contribution is less insightful than what @scotttobias.bsky.social + @kphipps3000.bsky.social usually write on there. @thereveal.bsky.social

The return of a very-sincere version of the Muppet Show is a big deal for me. I watched so much Muppets as a kid, I thought Milton Berle and Ethel Merman were the most famous people on earth, and was shocked when others did not share this frame-of-reference.

Have you been enjoying the Secret Mall Apartment doc on streaming? Well, then you’re going to LOVE our episode on the story, initially reported all the way back in 2018 🟨 Listen Now 👉 99percentinvisible.org/episode/621-...

I took a lot of flack a few years ago for suggesting on @99pi.org that Jordan Peterson didn’t have a solid grasp of the issues.

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

It takes an incredible actor to be such a plausibly bad one. Catherine O'Hara might be the funniest person ever. I'm in shock. RIP www.youtube.com/watch?v=fggX...

Sharing a last name with the Maple Leafs' head coach means I see a lot of very weird headlines that appear to refer to me.

For CBC Arts, I wrote about why I think Canada needs to revel in the beauty of its weirdest impulses www.cbc.ca/arts/canadia...

Jumping on the trend. Me in 2016/ me today. I look somewhat older!

I know nobody has tried a roster with four shortstops before, but that’s Mets baseball, baby

The Kyle Tucker Memorial Lockout has quite a nice ring to it

Just yelled « FUCK » really loud in a restaurant

You've seen and appreciated the work of Michael Bierut and his team for the last four decades, if not more. Now it's time for a deep dive before he steps back from his design firm Pentagram. . Listen now wherever you get your podcasts 👉 https://bit.ly/3Zc9e04

This week on @99pi.org - an interview with one of America's best-known designers, Michael Bierut. You probably interact with one of his designs every day, without even knowing it. 99percentinvisible.org/episode/655-...
