Column | ChatGPT couldn’t answer my questions about tennis, so it made things up I wrote a column about a tennis phenom. When asked about it, ChatGPT committed one unforced error after another.

Today is the 111th birthday of Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre

Our cat, who usually sleeps for 7+ hours straight on our pillows, just kept me awake all night by pacing & staring at the wall above our bed. Four hypotheses:

1) Just because 🤪😐😽

2) He saw a spider

3) He was spying on our neighbour 🔎🧐

4) An earthquake is coming. Check your kits!

I gotta say: the whole “being on crutches” thing is tougher than I thought. It isn’t b/c it’s tiring, or my arms are sore — it’s navigating common spaces w/ people who don’t notice your crutches. So sketchy.

My empathy for people who regularly use mobility tools has increased by a million percent.

Happy 72nd Birthday to the legendary Queen of Funk, the incomparable Aries Diva, Chaka Khan!

14 SEC teams are in the hunt?! The Madness is gonna be extra wild this year!

I can’t wait for my bracket to inevitably bust on week two, due to some upstart team that no one has ever heard of before…my fave annual tradition ☺️🏀🤠 #marchmadness

Jen St Denis is a treasure — our city is lucky to have her (and the few other intrepid reporters!) who consistently and fairly hold truth to power. Congrats on this recognition, @jenstden.bsky.social! 👏

This is how the Nazi pink triangle became a defiant symbol of LGBTQ+ rights On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz we take a look at the history of the Nazi pink triangle, used to identify gay men.

It’s surprising how few people know that some of the first groups targeted by the Nazis were gay & transgender people. The pink triangle, now a symbol of LGBTQ+ resilience, was originally used to mark them in concentration camps. History matters—let’s not forget.

I’m in agreement with you, Rob.

While I stand by the sentiment expressed in my original post, I also find the inconsistent sense of urgency and care many Canadians demonstrate towards various human rights issues both maddening and hypocritical.

Trump Stops Distribution of Life-Saving HIV Drugs PEPFAR, an international program which has long had bipartisan support, was created in 2003 by President George W. Bush.

President Donald Trump has paused funding for the popular and effective program for distributing HIV/AIDS medications, PEPFAR, which has been credited with saving an estimated 26 million lives and preventing millions of infections.

All of the popular male comedians in the current podcast space have little “quirks” that are more significant than what you’re suggesting, IMHO.

Mark - Canadian here who agrees with the need for Dems & co. to reach young male audiences where they’re at.

Would you go on @hasandpiker.bsky.social’s podcast to talk about this very thing? It’s so important, and he seems like one of the few others with a platform who “gets” this.

... where facts go to live...

Shameless, even.

You're telling me

that Margo Martindale

and Wayne Knight

were once partners

on a team of character actors who moonlit as private investigators

to supplement film/tv income by busting bad guys with their acting skills

and this has never been adapted into the longest-running show on NBC?

Sometimes all you need is a chin scratch…a leisurely nap in the cozy afternoon sun…and of course, TREATS 🍗😉💤🤎

Their mom & dad are truly remarkable people who powerfully advocate for their son’s rare disease, while also doing their best to provide their 2 kids w/ the best life possible. That being said, their daughter’s life is often (and understandably) impacted by her bro’s needs. Thank u for listening 💖🙏

This little girl has been SUCH an amazing & selfless big sister. Her little bro has endured major health challenges (he has a rare disease) — and their family’s life often focuses on his care. She is a HUGE Swiftie & going to this would be a dream for her. Their family’s IG is aligned.with.asher 💖🙏

Vancouverite here! My friend has a son who is dealing w/ some major health challenges right now (they are currently in North Carolina — he just had critical surgery). Their daughter (6) is a trooper, but often life circulates around her brother’s ongoings needs. Cont….

Yesterday my husband and I were out walking and we saw this adorable house. The holiday season is officially here!

I bet the inside smells like a freshly cut Noble Fir tree and homemade shortbread. 🎄🎁✨

Remember when "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" tried to teach us about tariffs and no one was paying attention

If you're a writer, translator, editor, anyone who works in writing, then you should read.

Read novels, short stories, articles, non-fiction, anything. Just read.

Pictured: a photo of a letter from former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau to my grandma, in response to a letter she had written to him about a legislative decision made in the late 1970s.

In the 1970s, my grandmother regularly wrote to Canadian PM Pierre Trudeau with Q’s & feedback—and he always wrote back with thoughtful, nuanced responses.

This is what democracy looks like: being able to safely & confidently engage in convos with your elected officials—and to be heard, no less. 🇨🇦

The ghost of Anthony Bourdain is raising his glass to you, somewhere in the heavens.
