Ranking Best Pictures with me and @jchidleyhill.bsky.social returns with Saving Private Ryan! No wait sorry, Shakespeare In Love actually won that year. I don’t know how that happened either. 🧵

This week's Post layoffs hit a chord for me, so I wrote something personal, timed with the anniversary of my own layoff a year ago.

Where Do the Journalists Go Now?
As media titans self-combust, what does that mean for reporters, their sources and the news we desperately need?

Someone spare a tear for the privileged Globe columnist being paid to travel to Italy and cover the Olympics.
Travelling sucks, even when the destination is the Olympics
The delays, watching every other zone board ahead of you and the battle for the armrest are all part of the experience

Journalism as an industry will never recover from this because the managers, investors and power brokers that control it do not want it to recover. Reporters want to do good work but good work requires time, moeny, trust and backing to put it out. All of these are antithetical to making profit.

It’s hard to believe the time has come already, but you can pre-order my book CANADA’S ENDANGERED ANIMALS for your nature-loving kids (or yourself, I don’t judge).

It’s only $17.95 (less than a child’s average biweekly berry budget) and will be shipped to you in mid-May.

Reminder that Epstein and Trump shut down the first #MeToo movement by convincing people that being against sexual abuse was woke.
In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

As it turns out, #Bluejays Joe Carter statue will stand alone between Gates 5 and 6.

I'm told that the Ted Rogers statue is being moved to Rogers corporate offices, which is the right thing to do. It never should have been at the ballpark.
