Canadian publisher Kids Can Press "strongly condemns any denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin's name or image" following Pete Hegseth's post:

We strongly condemn any denigrating, violent or unauthorized use of Franklin's name or image, which directly contradicts these values.

I don't know...I'm kind of liking this -9C weather this morning. Very light snow. Light breeze. Able to wear sneakers. A brisk walk to the train station has warmed me up.

My Four Favourite First Time Watches of November 2025 📽️:

It Was Just An Accident (2025)
Train Dreams (2025)
Werckmeister Harmonies (2000)
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)

(Listed in order I saw them within the month)
A bride in a white wedding dress and a man in formal clothes sit in the back of a dusty white van in a desert. Another man in casual clothing stands nearby, all of them looking in different directions. A rugged, bearded man stands on a railroad bridge surrounded by dense, lush forest. A man dressed in dark clothing is walking down an old alley with partially crumbling buildings on each side. He is holding a tiffin in one hand and is wearing a cross-body bag. The photo is in black and white. Three men are sitting around a campfire with a tent and lantern behind them. The man in the foreground is wearing a hat and the other two men are looking toward him as if listening to him. There are various metal cups, plates and utensils near them as they appear to be eating and talking by the fire.

After seeing a Canadian film, it seemed appropriate to check out the Crawford Lake: Layers In Time exhibit at the ROM. #Toronto #Museum #CrawfordLake
Crawford Lake. A lake surrounded by trees (lots of evergreens) and a cloudy sky overhead. The lake water is so still you can see a reflection of the clouds and surrounding trees on it.

Cc'd on a work email randomly & I'm 98% sure the two people are talking about completely different things. It's like Person A is requesting an addition being built to a home and Person B is saying "here's what we need to tear the house down" and Person A doesn't question the response.* Huge eff up?

A person wearing a colorful, abstract-patterned outfit and a black hat with a yellow plume and pink gloves is making hand gestures. Behind them, a puppet with a white, fluffy hat and green outfit stands next to a gray dog puppet adorned with gold decorations. The background features a wooden house with white-framed windows and a textured wall with golden accents.

They've started advertising Line 6 on the subway. But I must ask, IS LINE 5 EVER OPENING?!?!?? #TTC #Toronto #Transit #EglintonResident
Advertisement with a dark green background and bold yellow font of varying sizes saying "SKIP TRAFFIC, LINE 6 TAKES YOU TO HUMBER". Below in smaller black font and white background "Take line 6"

I do love when it's Clementine season. 🍊🤤
Two clementines on a wooden table in front of a bag (orange mesh) of clementines.

I enjoyed the movie but the cinema was so bloody cold I had to wear my jacket and gloves. And I was still wishing for a blanket.

Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

This is a really worthy cause. My local museum - The Shevchenko- is organizing Christmas gifts for children in the Ukraine 🇺🇦 .

If you can amplify or donate, that would be great.

Bagels are a MUST when in Montreal. St-Viateur Bagel and Fairmount Bagel are both fantastic! There's nothing better than a bagel so fresh that it's still warm. *chef's kiss*

We went to the 🥯 mothership 🥯 in the snowstorm yesterday.
A photo of the San Viateur bagel shop in the Mile End neighbourhood of Montreal. The shop is a red brick building with a green wood front and large windows with the words Boulangerie Saint Viateur bagel shop in the front and a large plastic lit sign that sticks out onto the sidewalk in the below. There are red geraniums covered by snow and there’s lots of snow around..
