Just once, I'd love to see an article like this actually educate its intended reader about the various causes of declining earning power and living standards in post-Boomer generations.

That's right, Gen Z. Y'all could've had single-family homes by now, but your burrito habits are *out of control*.

Canadians face a worsening commute amid return-to-office mandates Many moved farther from work as hybrid work took hold and real estate prices skyrocketed. Now, they face tough decisions as congestion increases

Maybe the Globe's editorial board should start reading its own reporting? www.theglobeandmail.com/business/car...

Thanks for the review!

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

How Return-To-Office Mandates Are Impacting Toronto's Office Market In mid-August, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced more than 60,000 Ontario public service workers would return to a four-day in-office work week starting in October, before returning to the five-day ...

"The news has been met with mixed reactions from workers themselves, but the return-to-office (RTO) trend undeniably bodes well for commercial real estate."

Sure, 60K public servants + thousands of private employees are angry, but think about the real estate profits!🤑

Guess I’m fully fluent in Irish now. 😎

Wait, what? 🫨

Just over a week until dozens (!) of global dignitaries come together to help me launch my debut novel.

Okay … it’ll be friends, family and high-quality book aficionados. Join us!

Spotted at the Indigo near Yonge & Eg in Toronto. They’ve got ‘Terminal Solstice’ in stock at half a dozen locations across the city.

do we think it's good that entire economy is based on the same entities passing money back and forth on speculative investment without anyone making anything that someone outside the loop is buying

I doubt any of it has to do with their music. Their Coachella performance this summer has resulted in a lot of interest from the US/UK authorities.

Canada has banned an Irish rap group. Who is Kneecap? | CBC News The federal government banned Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap from entering the country Friday, forcing the popular group to cancel its October shows. The four gigs — two in Toronto and two in Vancouver — ...

Manchán Magan on cancer: 'I've no fear of death' The writer and broadcaster Manchán Magan has said he has "no fear of death" as he discussed his cancer treatment on The Brendan O'Connor Show on RTÉ Radio 1.

Sad to hear of @manchanmagan.bsky.social's cancer diagnosis. His books and talks (like this one: youtu.be/g8sFWz136LA) are such illuminating pathways into thinking about the Irish language. www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

Damn, NYT… 😢

“After 50 years of publishing, Munsch told me, his ability to come up with new stories seems to have vanished. […] Plots used to just appear to him, all the time and almost fully formed, as if they were limitless. But now they don’t.”

Her short docs are so good.

One of my fave albums from my teen years. Who knew it would be so relevant all these years later?

Particularly bummed about how ‘meh’ elected leaders are these days. Felt the need to write about some of that here: open.substack.com/pub/foundtim...

Pieces like this drive me nuts. Government isn’t a business — it’s actually the opposite — so they might as well ask my 7-yr-old what he would do.

And if he said we should hoard wealth and move fast with no vision to help anyone but ourselves, he’d be grounded.

No mention of how this is just a way for rich folks to avoid traffic congestion.

Want a slice of the $500M bread price-fixing settlement? The claims process is now open | CBC News Canadian shoppers now have a chance to get their share of a $500-million settlement in a class-action lawsuit related to the alleged industry-wide price fixing of bread.

Still amazed Loblaw can be a business after this, but 🤷

That's pretty close to how carbon pricing worked -- I mean, minus the lottery aspect.

Oh man. That illustration. 😢
