So good
Launching our "Cost of Care" issue @thelocal.to today, about the places where money and medicine collide. Here's @alisonmotluk.bsky.social writing the best, clearest thing I've seen on what a routine surgery says about the possible future of care. thelocal.to/cataract-sur...
Scoop: The AGO is reckoning with the resignations of a senior curator & two members of a collections committee after the group narrowly voted to not acquire a work by Nan Goldin over accusations that the Jewish-American photographer’s views are antisemitic www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/art-...
I spent some time last week answering reader questions.

My book Live to See the Day is out today. I hope you read it. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/645965...
Sometimes when I have an idea, I find out you’ve already done that idea. Loved reading this.
I interviewed Wolf Parade’s @spencerkrug.bsky.social about I’ll Believe in Anything going viral 20 years after its release, thanks to Heated Rivalry
We talked about Montreal lofts, old synthesizers, aging, and Not Being Hockey Guys www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/musi...
A while back I got to speak to @grahamisador.bsky.social at the Globe & Mail about that time a @thebeaverton.com article got accidentally quoted by Time. Here's that!!

Gotta stay positive
My girlfriend is worried for me Graham Isador Reporter No clue what to do with my hands at any point during the fifth. When the benches cleared, I started shadowboxing. My girlfriend noted the rest of the time I’ve been “wringing my hands like a wife waiting for her husband to return from sea.”
Been hugely enjoying the live coverage put out by the Globe and Mail team for the Jays games this weeked. This update from @grahamisador.bsky.social made me laugh:
Missing the Lepage opening
Gotta make the spooky snooki show.
