"If somebody catches a lick somebody else will jump in on it. That's the jazz part of the music that I enjoy, a kind of spontaneity and alertness." #JoniMitchell #DiscoverMusic Happy #birthday to the amazing @jonimitchell! 📸 Santa Monica, October 1975, The Michael Ochs Archive

Nathan Fielder was making comedy videos in Toronto long before he became a breakout star with “The Rehearsal” and “You Can See Everything.” I look back at how the city's comedy scene and Humber College helped shape his unconventional career. thestar.com/entertainment/na…

So many other things to remember and celebrate Sir Patrick Stewart for... but this has to be one of the best line readings in the history of The Simpsons

You have joined the Sacred Order of the Stonecutters who since ancient times have split the rocks of ignorance that obscure the light of knowledge and truth. Now let's all get drunk and play Ping-Pong! #TheSimpsons

This voice message was sent by a citizen inside Iran to a family member, revealing part of the regime’s crimes. He says he personally witnessed the killing of civilians in Tehran. He also reports from Babol that regime forces carried out violent attacks against people there. Quoting an eyewitness, he describes how security forces pushed a massive crowd from both sides into a single street, trapping people so tightly that escape was impossible. The scene was chillingly reminiscent of the Mina tragedy in Saudi Arabia. Despite this deadly crowding, regime forces opened fire on the trapped civilians. #IranRevolution2026 #DigitalBlackoutIran

My Globe and Mail opinion piece on the attack this week at our local “kosher Loblaws.” It is now being investigated as a hate motivated crime. I reflect on what it now means to go grocery shopping while Jewish in Canada in 2025.
