@DannySpxp Briefly ending my Twitter boycott to say that it’s been fantastic to hear you two call the postseason, and I’d like to lobby for Buck to throw the first pitch if it goes to game 7.

@PaulJRobichaud Every time I see a Pan post I’m like “oh damn, I wonder if Paul saw this” and 90% of the time it’s you.

@MazMHussain Engineering is the worst discipline and a hotbed for extremism, conspiracy theories, crackpot ideologies and terrorism.

@rebmasel A little related, I used to watch Cats on VHS almost religiously as a kid and everytime it'd play an ad for Schweppes. To this day I have never seen or heard about that brand anywhere else

as a kid I really believed alka-seltzer would play a much larger role in my adult life. every movie and TV show convinced me I’d be throwing those fizzy tablets in a glass for every conceivable adult ailment lol??

Some of this is covered through @wdavidmarx's book Ametora, which explores how Japan saved American style after we abandoned it. There are specific people who shaped this fashion culture in Japan (and wonderful stories about how things such as vintage style became cool)

One of my absolute favourite things when I was working construction was flying business class in my steel toes, muddy jeans, and a hoodie.
KyleMatthewsCEO@kylematthewsceo

Business tip; Whenever you are flying commercial, especially in business/first class, always wear your best business suit & tie combo (business formal). When someone walks on the plane in a great suit, white dress shirt & clean tie, I always think to myself, “I wonder what that guy/gal does for a living.” (Obviously no tie for the ladies ;)) It’s human nature. When I was 22, and now that I am 42, I always find myself wanting ask him/her “hey, what do you do for a living?” If you are in commercial real estate, especially brokerage, by dressing your absolute professional best, people will ask you “what do you do for a living?”, and that’s all you need to get the conversation started. In business/first class, there is a real chance they are in the real estate business, but an even better chance they know someone in the real estate industry, someone who can be your client one day. It is an easy way to network and meet new people, you just have to give a little more effort to dress up and eschew your “I don’t give a sh*t” sweat pants and F-U hoodie. This also works in coach, just to a lesser degree. Combine the professional clothes with a clean shave, combed hair, and I hate to admit, yes a nice watch helps, at minimum you will get looks, and in all likelihood the person sitting next to you will have to ask… “hey, what do you do for a living?”

@alexbozikovic @ThermeCanada This Therme nonsense is exactly the opposite of the High Line. That project (sort of) re-greened a crappy unusable artificial space. This is making a usable green space into something artificial! What is dude thinking?

Wow. Robert Hammond is comparing @ThermeCanada’s Toronto project – a stadium-sized indoor waterpark that involves demolishing an entire island of parkland - to the High Line. Such an absurd comparison would never fly in the U.S., but it’s Canada, so who gives a damn?

Guilty admission: I've never read Cormac McCarthy's BLOOD MERIDIAN. Just pulled it off my TBR shelf and read the first page. I... I think I need to lie down.

I say this because I have also experienced long, intense fallow periods in both reading and writing outside of work, and it’s always been a symptom of burnout—which I didn’t necessarily realize I was experiencing.

I also read for a living (digital editor!), and this sounds an awful lot like burnout. I spend at least 10hrs a day online & have already read over 100 books this year, and have had an unprecedented period of creative joy & productivity in my own writing practice.

@LindsayDunnTV Teoscar was my guy on the Jays. I’d like to bring him home, but I feel he was undervalued here and would be again.
