John Candy seated and leaning slightly forward, shown from the chest up. He is wearing round glasses, a patterned knit cardigan in blue and gray tones, and a dark shirt underneath. His short, light-colored hair is brushed back. His hands are clasped together in front of him. The background is softly blurred with diagonal bands of light and shadow.

On this day in 1994, John Candy died.
Born on Oct. 31, 1950 in Toronto, he became a Canadian icon. He rose to fame on SCTV and had a successful film career through the 1980s and early 1990s. He won two Emmys, a Grey Cup and has a star on Canada's Walk of Fame.

The rise and fall of TED
YouTube video by Michael Girdley The rise and fall of TED

Why TED failed.

It scaled up too much and stopped curating. In other words, you can't trust it.

Hundreds of thousands of people fleeing homes in Lebanon
The Israeli army has issued forced displacement orders and hundreds of thousands of people are now on the move this morning.

Not just in southern Lebanon, but also here in Beirut.

The city’s Dahiyeh suburbs that Israel issued the displacement order for is home to hundreds of thousands of people. People here are packing what they can and making their way to what they believe will be safer areas.

Average Baltic Sea level, two panel-plot. First one shows the monthly distribution with Feb 2026 value highlighted in the far left side of the data. The 2nd panel shows the time series 1922–2026 with again Feb 2026 highlighted with a red circle.

New data for February 2026 confirms that the monthly sea level for the Baltic Sea was the lowest on record.

The average monthly sea level across all 14 Finnish tide gauges was -51.7 cm in February 2026, breaking thus the long-standing record set in February 1947.

On Feb. 12, 1969, Toronto tested out having "bus bunnies" to make public transit more attractive. The idea was proposed by the Canadian Urban Transportation Conference
The idea was only tested for one day before it was abandoned.
