@sunlorrie @JohnIbbitson Yikes!

@JohnIbbitson I suspect everyone in our business has one of these. Mine was okaying a column that could have caused a mistrial in a murder case -- in a Sunday pre-print. We had to do the entire print-run all over again.

These things happen on statutory holidays. Bare bones junior staffers working the shift. And when the editor-in-chief saw the headline…. Have pity. Journalists everywhere are wincing and feeling sorry for the kid who wrote that hedder. Happened to me in ‘89. Worst day ever.

Based on recent market trends, we can expect Trump to reverse field, declare victory and announce US troops are pulling out. #marketmanipulation #USIranWar Here’s How Major Markets Are Moving nytimes.com/2026/04/01/bus… via @NYTimes

The timing is at once beautiful and tragic. I was a huge admirer of Stephen Lewis; interviewed him early in my career and was literally left breathless by how articulate he was. Sincere condolences to all who loved this statesman. #cdnpoli

@MaximeTruman Tout à fait. J’étais parmi les consommateurs les plus assidus de ce genre de contenu - depuis quelques semaines, plus capable

Le jour où le club va aligner les victoires, je suis convaincu que les vues de ces vidéos seront "dans les cinq chiffres". Cependant, avec les défaites (difficiles à expliquer/excuser) qui s'enchaînent, les partisans n'ont pas vraiment envie de consommer de genre de contenu - même s'il est excellent - entre les matchs. Ils ne consomment rien ou consomment quelque chose qui colle davantage à la situation difficile actuelle. L'importance de gagner est à tous les niveaux présentement. Chez les joueurs... Chez les entraîneurs... Au sportif... Au marketing... Aux ventes... Aux comms... Chez les employés du Stade... Dans les médias...

@caroaubureau L’analyste politique le plus plugge au pays. C’était toujours un plaisir de pouvoir échanger avec lui. Salut Jean

Salut Jean, C’est ainsi que Paul Arcand nous présentait le matin, à la radio. C’est dans les couloirs de CKAC que j’ai découvert Jean Lapierre, au début des années 1990, alors que la station dominait les ondes et attirait les plus grands. Arrivé de la politique, il s’est rapidement imposé. Jean avait ce talent rare de captiver et de parler à tout le monde. Une présence, une aura… un naturel à la radio. Un être profondément attachant, dont on manque cruellement. Salut Jean.

@glen_mcgregor Got news for you: there is always a subbasement

Apologies, I was completely wrong: This, as it turned out, was *not* his rock bottom.

@NiltonJorge @FredLamoux Une Légende! Il est parti, mais il sera toujours dans nos souvenirs

Un jour, Rodger Brulotte m’a raconté qu’il décrivait un match de baseball uniquement avec un ticker, sans aucune image. Problème : le ticker a planté pendant plusieurs longues minutes. Sa solution ? Il a simplement inventé des fausses balles pendant toute la panne. 🤣

@ScottZPatriot @MrPitbull07 @grok @grok I know the story is true, but the cadence suggests it was A.I. generated - which given its central message would be wildly ironic. What are the odds it was A.I. assisted

@MrPitbull07 @grok is this true?

May 16, 1963. Gordon Cooper was orbiting Earth alone inside a capsule barely big enough to turn around in, moving at 17,500 miles per hour. He had been up there for over a day. Then the warnings started. First a faulty sensor screaming that the ship was falling — it wasn't. He switched it off. Then something far worse: a short circuit knocked out the entire automated guidance system. The one that kept the capsule steady. The one that was supposed to bring him home. Without it, reentry was nearly impossible. Too shallow an angle and the capsule would bounce off the atmosphere back into space. Too steep and it would incinerate. The margin for error was razor thin — and every computer that was supposed to hit that margin was dead. Down on the ground, NASA engineers watched the telemetry in silence. They could see everything going wrong. They could fix nothing. Cooper didn't panic. He uncapped a grease pencil and drew lines directly on the inside of his window to track the horizon. He looked up at the stars he had spent months memorizing and used their positions to orient the ship by eye. Then he set his wristwatch. Because when you have no computers left, you become the computer. At exactly the right moment — calculated in his head, confirmed by the stars outside — he fired the retrorockets. The capsule shook. The sky turned to fire. For several minutes, no one on Earth could reach him as plasma swallowed the ship whole. Then the parachutes opened. Faith 7 hit the water just four miles from the recovery ship — the single most accurate splashdown in the entire Mercury program. The man with a wristwatch and a few pencil marks on a window had outperformed every automated system NASA had. We talk a lot about technology saving us. And it often does. But Cooper's story is a quiet reminder that behind every machine, there still has to be a human being who can look out the window, think clearly under pressure, and decide what to do next. The final backup was never the software. It was him.

@andreperrotta13 @jthomps72 …and it’s ragù, not gravy.

@jthomps72 Three native born and raised players including the pitcher who pitched the 9th yesterday and Aldegheri who pitched a gem in their opener, and it's Nonna not Nona (never forget the double consonant).

Is there a single player on the Italian baseball team that was born in Italy or are they all just Italian American dudes who have Nona’s that cook a Sunday gravy for them?

@nut_history Ellis Valentine, Bo Jackson, Vladdy Guerrero Sr.

Who are the top 3 strongest OF arms in your lifetime.

@EricMacramalla 💯 the team is not one additional player removed from the Cup.

The Canadiens management regime is smart, thoughtful and disciplined. Their approach and execution inspires confidence and trust. No trades today? That's totally fine.

@CraigBaird Congratulations!

Just got word that my personal essay that appeared on the Macleans website is going to be published in the print magazine. With Pierre Berton being a hero of mine and a huge inspiration, having something published in Macleans is a dream come true for me.

@acoyne If you reread the Davos speech all will become clear…

Excuse me, what? That “ally” being the government that’s been threatening to annex us, that vows to destroy our economy, that is giving aid and comfort to the people trying to break up our country? That ally? And we’re going to stand by them — put troops in harm’s way—in the service of this reckless folly?

@davidakin @ChrisGNardi Not to quibble, but the light standard growing out of Pierre’s head takes something away from the overall composition. 📸
