My favorite moment from today.
Kyiv.
I hope that after the war ends, millions of people from all over the world will come to this city. And maybe hundreds of them will do so because of my posts 😉
Greetings from Kyiv, which lives in anticipation of bloom and greenery.
I don’t deny the war.
I show you life,
beauty,
history,
and the culture of this land.

Health care or arts and culture? It’s not as simple as that: Open letter from a Cape Breton community health centre
"We stand in appreciation of the work that our colleagues and volunteers in Arts and Culture do, and we understand how inseparable it is from our own."

I believe education should be free…

It's time to talk about hockey media in Canada. Actually, it has been time for awhile. My thoughts on comments from Insiders, hockey media approaches, using language correctly, and accountability - or the lack of it.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
We need to ask them to take his CPA away. #nspoli

Only you can set you free
You gave me fortune you gave me fame
You gave me power in your God's name
I'm every person you need to be
Oh I'm

Greetings from Kyiv.
Warcoffee in a place that feels like a feast for the eyes.
People can create beautiful things instead of waging wars and destroying the planet.

Here he is, talking about how he once counseled a “Star Trek” fan whom he feared was depressed and suicidal.

Stranger Things has numerous tie-ins with the genre of Heavy Metal music, specifically the band Iron Maiden. Enjoy. The Stars of Stage and Screen…Song #75/250: The Trooper by Iron Maiden from the Original Soundtrack of the Television Series Stranger Things tommacinneswriter.com/2026/03/03/t...
a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people
From The Brit Awards last night, here is one of the best live performances I have seen in a long time! "Berghain" by Rosalia ft. Bjork is outstandingly original. The album Lux is terrific, too! Reader’s Choice/Tom’s Top Tunes…Song #80/250: Berghain by Rosalia tommacinneswriter.com/2026/03/02/r...
@carmellapoetry.bsky.social reminded me that it’s Chopin’s birthday
Here’s his glorious Barcarolle, based on Venetian boatmen’s songs. Suggestive of his own playing, often likened by contemporaries to limpid flows of water, & of Venice, beautiful setting for his doomed relationship with George Sand
