Despite everything, I do still want to wish everyone a happy and very healthy new year. May you find some much needed joy and self-care in your private corner of the world each day, and, as I have been telling loved ones, may 2026 be a kinder year for all.

Just finished listening to Sarah Wynn-Williams' fascinating memoir and damning exposé, Careless People, on Facebook and the monstrous people who run it. It's so so much worse than you could imagine. Essential reading and glimpse into our potentially dystopian tech future. (Audiobook read by author.)

Waiting for the @bluejays.com to start posting over here as well...please and thank you!

Bases loaded, Zero outs! Let's go Blue Jays!

I never did give an update: Stray Kids were great, venue was...🧐🤨🤔. But we found exiting really not that bad all things considered. Friend who went to Stray Kids and Coldplay thought exiting Coldplay was worse. Also, PSA: lots of seats still for Blackpink and HUGE price drop. 😳 Sea of blue are $318!

In much lighter news: looking forward to the Stray Kids concert tomorrow!! They will be the inaugural performers at the new Rogers Stadium venue, so that will be interesting. 😬🫣

Confounding disbelief, my evergreen reaction to US news.

I've used so much CDC data for my reporting over the last few years that it feels surreal to see everything taken down. I would not be surprised to see COVID-19 information be especially questionable and unreliable going forward.

Goodbye🐉! Happy Lunar New Year! 🎋 May this Year of the Snake 🐍 grace us with much needed kindness, courage, fortitude, resilience, and hope. 🧧🎏
