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-...

If you bet on Golden Globes Best Podcast Winner on Polymarket you should not be able to drive a car for five years

It's legitimately hilarious Call Her Daddy and the NPR newscast are nominated in the same category at an awards show

This is why I got into it right here

I feel like betting which podcast will win a Golden Globe is significantly worse than losing everything at the dog track

Montreal made it two mayors in a row without a major corruption scandal. Hey, all streaks have to come to an end!

I hope Mel Brooks is surrounded by love right now. My heart is so sick for him too.

I know Kevin O’Leary and Tyler the Creator are getting all the attention, but I’m proud of my performance in Marty Supreme as “Doctor Ping Pong.” I haven’t seen the film yet, but am assured my scene’s still in there. No spoilers but I kick his ass. #OscarCampaign #DoctorPingPong

I'm back @99percentinvisible.bsky.social talking about the Pulitzer and design for kids in an episode devoted to Sesame Street 99percentinvisible.org/episode/649-...

I can't wait for the scene where Moses (Matthew Rhys), disillusioned by the failure of progressive civil service reform, looks directly into the camera and says, "I'm going to become the power broker."

I never do this, but I really want to be involved. @elliottkalan.bsky.social should write on it. I'll laugh and unroll maps. deadline.com/2025/12/matt...

My American friends and colleagues: Thanksgiving is a precious time to be with family and appreciate what’s truly important in life. Me: Yes…I’m also doing that

Hear me out…the Blue Jays closer next year should be Chris Bassitt

Nobody had his range. He was in “Barb Wire” with Pamela Anderson and “Breaking the Waves” *in the same year.*

Pope Leo absolutely cooking

Episode 4 of Hidden Levels from @99pi.org and @wbur.org is now online from Andrew Callaway. It's about "machinima," movies made *inside* video games. It's a podcast, but also...there's a FULLY ANIMATED version, drawing from dozens of games. This really special. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tsr...

Someone please find the Pope’s burner on Letterboxd www.indiewire.com/news/general...

The movies are back, baby

lol why put it this way

As someone who has hung in with the Blue Jays for more than three decades since the last World Series (god I lived through the *black uniform era*), this was easily the most loveable, surprising, gutsy team we’ve ever had. A true delight to watch them play.

Not to pick on this particular person but this was absolutely not a choke job and hadn't been the entire series. The Jays aren't the Leafs. The Dodgers were expected to walk away with the series, we made them work for every single hit. This is simply the outcome of a very close game and series

And someone named Will Smith won an Oscar in there somewhere
