i had the opportunity to review Man of the Year, a funny and deeply moving musical about how lonely it is to grow old without growing up. "all you needed to be was there" is going to haunt me for the rest of my life. riddlefence.com/review/man-o...

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano

it must have felt so good to be the digital media manager when the word came down to unschedule the piece from the 60 minutes feed but no one said anything about unscheduling it from the international website

deeply annoyed to learn that irv yalom's line re: "sooner or later the patient has to relinquish the hope of having a better past" also applies to me

one of the more bleak aspects of ai chatbots is it’s starting to blow up real marriages

To be crystal clear: it's not about what the scientists "told CBC News", not just informed opinion. The science itself is very clear.
