This advice (and limiting replies) improved my Twitter/X experience exponentially:
Just mute them. Rude? Mute them. Stupid? Mute them. Just annoying in general? Mute them. You don’t owe them anything. Them thinking they’re entitled to your communication is unbelievable arrogance. This is your feed and you get to have it look the way you want.

Yes, this is real. Yes, it's astonishing. Global TV, which airs 60 Minutes in Canada, uploaded the original version of Sunday's episode, including the Sharyn Alfonsi segment that Bari Weiss shelved. And now people all across the internet are watching the segment.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, sports journalists take their job of explaining esoteric rules like how sacks are awarded more seriously than the political press takes their job of explaining basic public policy like tax cuts add to the debt and deficit.

Interesting read for folks who turn up their noses when something isn't 'authentic': "The myth of traditional Italian cuisine has seduced the world. The truth is very different"

The Cobourg Police Association is speaking out about recent political tensions over the proposed police budget. They stress that decisions should prioritize community safety—not politics. Read President Rich Ferguson’s opinion piece here:
