In a still from the web series Kensington Diner, actor Amy Matysio stares off, with the CN Tower in the distance, and a sign that reads, β€œKensington.”

Jason Bryden’s fab web series Kensington Diner is an instant classic, and a beautiful love letter to Toronto.

Just look at my majestic pal Amy Matysio on that big Paradise Theatre screen! She killed it!

Excellent night out in support of the WEP, @davebidini.bsky.social.

It’s OK to cry over the Toronto Blue Jays It’s OK to cry about a baseball team, and, in the end, this was the final gift the 2025 Toronto Blue Jays gave to us: the ability to let go, writes Star contributor Dave Bidini.

Reminder that Spotify has still not gotten rid of their ICE ads. They think they can just stay silent without answering to the public. Let’s show them how wrong they are, let’s hit them where it hurts! These corporations don’t understand anything unless it hurts their bottom line.

Congrats to the Dodgers. They clawed back and hit the big flies when they had to. Rojas, man. Also congrats to the Jays and the power of friendship. It meant a lot.

people talk about Toronto being a cold unfriendly city and I dare them to walk around my neighbourhood on Halloween and come to that conclusion. There are people hanging out EVERYWHERE. On the patio, chatting with neighbours. One house had dog treats because they know there's lots of dogs round here

I like it, too. This cover by the Chicago Gay Hockey League is completely delightful.
