A couple of my pals (men who work in the trades) were explaining the work ethos among their colleagues, & said, "The deal is that you can't get emotional at work, & also that anger is not an emotion." Something fundamental here.

A problem that currently exists in Canadian politics is a lack of consensus around how you distinguish between the faces of the PM & the Leader of the Opposition in editorial cartoons. Current editorial cartoon landscape fraught with ambiguity.

Happy Feast of the Dedication of St. John Lateran! When John & I went to Rome, we went looking for it (Holy Door, baby) but had no idea what it looked like. I was directing us past it & John was like, "How about we just check out that huge church first." T.y. J. 🙏

I was walking with a woman in the dog park who had vivid childhood memories of watching the 1993 Blue Jays World Series at a family friend's cottage. Unfortunately, they involved the family's golden retriever trying to hump her the entire time.

Everywhere I go, people are wearing Jays gear. People I know who have never watched baseball (me included) are staying up past midnight to for an 18th inning. The coffee shop has baseball donuts.

"A Pickle for the Knowing Ones" (1848) is a marvellously bizarre piece of writing. (No punctuation!) Thank you to @PublicDomainRev for sharing it: publicdomainreview.org/collection/d...
Trimalchio in Newburyport: Timothy Dexter’s *A Pickle for the Knowing Ones* (1848)
A strange 1797 text — in a personal eye dialect and entirely devoid of punctuation — written by the eccentric 18th-century businessman known for his wildly good luck.
