So this shows up in my in-box, inviting me to order advance tickets for the 2026 Shaw Festival season in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Except no casting has been announced yet. Actors aren't interchangeable cogs. As a former theatre publicist, the decision to sell before sharing casting seems very odd.

One of my favourite pieces of chamber music is the Mendelssohn Octet. So happy to experience it as the last Stratford Summer Music concert of 2025. Also a new octet work by @jcmi.bsky.social

Referring to crashes as “accidents” or claiming that “speed wasn’t a factor” in a crash, are not random language choices. They’re the result of PR campaigns. Listen to this really important interview with @grantennis.bsky.social by @brooklynspoke.bsky.social @thewaroncars.bsky.social on “Dark PR.”

Turns out nothing motivates like a fine in the mail.
According to Ottawa data, before #speedcameras were implemented: only 16% of drivers followed the speed limit!
🟥 Before cameras: 16%
🟧 After 3 months: 57%
🟨 After 1 year: 69%
🟩 After 3 years: 81%
That’s not just a jump it's a shift in habits!
