Looking forward to Rogers v. Rogers tonight. It is not a play about the Jays' recent negotiations to sign relief pitcher Tyler Rogers.

Rogers v. Rogers is v good
The one-man nature of the show calls attention to how much destruction gets caused by a family fighting itself

Wow! @theweatherstation.bsky.social has posted their entire concert from last summer at The Concert Hall in Toronto to YouTube. One of my favorite acts out there right now. Tamara & Co. are freakin' amazing.

The premiere of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 at Vienna's Theater an der Wien in 1808. (If only to start a slow clap right after.)
If you could attend any historical concert or music festival, which one would be a transcendent, bucket-list experience?

Her answers failed the Whereabouts System.
An exclusive interview with Canada’s most decorated female Olympian Penny Oleksiak.
She’s been suspended for two years for three whereabouts failures.

Dana Sipos is good Sunday morning listening. A nice counterbalance to the network news shows. Strange To My Mind in particular is sunshine through the tree leaves and would be perfectly at home on the Inside Llewyn Davis soundtrack.
Soundtrack your Sunday with @exclaimdotca.bsky.social's 'The Eh! List' and hear a new song from Dana Sipos' upcoming album 'Golden Molten', out January 23 open.spotify.com/playlist/4Un...

I've never experienced this, actually. What I have noticed is people lining up to the cashiers when multiple self-checkouts are available.
Why do so many people choose self-checkout at the grocery store, even when the lines are longer than the regular cashiers’? Valerie Trapp looks at a strange quirk of human behavior:
