Just finished a terrific conversation with the great @davebidini.bsky.social who is as romantic about baseball as anyone I know.

We looked back on the magic of the 2025 #Bluejays for a special episode of Deep Left Field that will drop tomorrow. Keep an eye out!

"I was put in the in the Four Seasons in Toronto for the premiere [of the show], and I felt like a hick. I was like, 'I don't belong here.' They had these maple toffees, and I was dumping them in my purse every day. Because I was like, *free toffee*."

Happy bday to both Brother Bragg and Brother Watt!
How on earth did it take me 30 plus years as a huge fan of both Billy Bragg and Watt to realize they were both born on the 20th of December 1957?!? In any case, happy 68 to Billy, too. There is power in a union!
Happy birthday to the brilliant Mike Watt, bass maestro, spiel gusher, raconteur. The man is 68 today and still going strong. He contributed to at least four new albums released this year, all great, and is seemingly always on the road (📸 Stevo Rood).

If our cities are shaped by stories, then great books form the foundation of knowledge and inspiration needed to build more liveable, inclusive and prosperous places.

These are 24 titles we read this year that informed our approach to changing hearts, minds and streets. An #UrbanismBookClub thread.

Forcing a TTC streetcar (~70 ppl) to wait for 3 cars to turn left in front of it (each w a single person inside) is infuriating. What kind of self-sabotaging fools run Toronto transit? They clearly don't use it; they treat it as charity for the poor: minimum service to keep the undeserving moving.

I haven't fully processed my opinion about the Cease signing yet but I will say this: the payroll/budget implications of this plus at least one major hitter puts them well into penalty territory and once you're there anyway, you might as well go beast mode. Just go on and Hulk out, money be damned.

96 years ago today: The Danforth Branch of the Toronto Public Library opened - Nov. 20, 1929.

It was renamed Pape/Danforth in 1979 and has undergone several renovations, including a major update by Hariri Pontarini Architects in 2006.

Just wanted to give everyone fair warning that next week marks the 40th anniversary of one of the greatest albums of all time, Psychocandy.
If you know this account you know I have a slight obsession with this band and album. Be prepared for a very long day. ♥️🖤

I was at Olympic Stadium when Bichette went crazy on deck while Vladdy hit a walkoff in the park he grew up in, even more excited than Vladdy was.

Today is Vladdy’s turn to be happy for Bichette from second base.
