cannot get over how bad @cibc support is. Been on hold for 2 hours. Passed from one department to another. This is a company that had $1.9 Billion in profit last year.

Not really a milestone, but a staggering statistic: @Bruce_Power, the most productive thermal power plant on earth, has now produced, as of the end of 2023, 1,564.6TWh of electricity. It was the first plant to hit 1PWh, ahead of Gravelines in France, and once uprated to over 7,000MW, will be even more productive, not to mention the potential addition of up to 4,800MW of capacity at Bruce C, pushing it over 11,000MW nameplate, making it the largest thermal plant ever constructed.

“I got my hair cut correct like Anthony Mason”
Reminiscing about Adam Yauch . Went through the archives and found a few photos of Adam and the Beastie Boys that I’ve never shared before . I have been inspired by their kindness and humor and how they have always stood up for what they believe in ! We miss you Adam .

A few folk have asked if Bains beach is in Shetland detective series. It does feature in it but Perez house is this one next door. These are Lodberries which are warehouses extending into the sea to make trade with boats easier #Shetland – at Scotland, United Kingdom

29 years ago today we played on SNL (@nbcsnl). March 25, 1995.  This also marked the beginning of a new opening to “Grace, Too”. Do you know the story behind how “fabulously rich” became “Tragically Hip”?

Pro baseball players voted Toronto the 3rd best city to be the visiting team. It’s walkable, and I don’t think they mean the baseball kind.

Fantastic.

I am excited about the opportunity to work my way back to the Major Leagues. It’s even sweeter to attempt this while wearing the uniform of my hometown team, the Toronto Blue Jays.
Joey Votto has agreed to a non-roster invite with the Blue Jays. He is back.

A quote about HMCS Haida from a dockyard matey in Plymouth in 1944, from James Elliot in @TheSpec, 18 January 2002: "She's been in more fights than any other ship in this harbour and that's saying something. These boys get free beer in every pub in Plymouth tonight..." 🇨🇦

Todd Boehly has brought Chelsea so, so low. (I tend to think Pochettino has actually overachieved with...whatever this "squad" is supposed to be.) #CFC #CarabaoCupFinal
