Absolutely shocking: @Artscape has fallen apart.
Where is the Mayor? Where is the bureaucracy?
Bikeshare was on the cusp of collapsing when I was Chief Planner and we vowed not to let it happen on our watch. Led by Deputy City Manager John Livey, we held emergency meetings & came up with an innovative solution: we had The Parking Authority take it over.
The Parking Authority didn't want a failing bike rental program. The negotiations were intense. We made the public policy case for bike share becoming a city service to the politicians.
Today it is thriving.
The City of Toronto should step in and step up. Artists matter. Event venues matter. Affordable housing matters.
It is shocking and disappointing that the City of Toronto couldn’t put together $5 million to save - or take over - @Artscape. theglobeandmail.com/arts/art…

Back in the late 90's, Keith Johnstone invited me over to his house because "the music at Loosemoose is shit!". We had 4 hours together where he played me some of his favorite pieces of music. I recorded the music that I liked onto my mini disc player for use in the shows.
Had a really fun time filming a small part in tonight’s @PrettyHardCases! I got to see animals on set which checks a box on another career goal. Watch it at 9:00 pm (9:30 pm NT) on @cbc and @cbcgem #PrettyHardCases

I'm puzzled by the reporting of Xi's exchange with Trudeau...
'Xi scolds Trudeau'
What about 'Dictator complains to democratically elected leader' ?

At this point, I hope nobody takes for granted rights, programs, safety nets, social norms, regulations and protections carved out, advanced or expanded in the post-war decades. I hope nobody assumes ‘progress’ only and inevitably flows in one direction. It’s all under attack.

“Love will make you do crazy things.”
No.
No.
No.
No.
No.
We do not accept this.
We will never accept violence masked as love.

Message received. This is *not* a night for famous people to be made uncomfortable.
Press backstage have just been warned against asking winners about anything to outside of their win... #Oscars

Let me tell you something, it’s a very bad practice to walk up on stage and physically assault a Comedian.
Now we all have to worry about who wants to be the next Will Smith in comedy clubs and theaters.
Thank you

This is Monday’s @nytimes Page One, one of the most important of the war bc of the powerful photo at the top.
It shows how Russian troops targeted civilians fleeing the village of Irpin.
At least 3 members of a family of 4 died in the attack.
The photo is by @lynseyaddario.

You're vaccinated. Did EVERYTHING to protect yourself & your loved ones. You got COVID.
You feel discouraged, ashamed.
DON'T BE.
Omicron is ++ contagious. You're feeling better, or will soon, BECAUSE you're vaccinated.
YOU'RE protecting our hospitals/ICUs.
THANK *YOU*. 👏👏

At times, the joy that life attacks me with is unbearable and leads to gasping hysterical laughter. I find myself completely out of control and wonder how could life could surprise me again and again and again, so completely. How could a man be a cynic? It is a sin.
