It’s been an absolutely brutal few days and the only thing that’s made them tolerable is the stunning amount of solidarity amongst all the former Messenger workers and from media people in general. Thanks to everyone who’s reached out, you people are mensches.

I regularly get content in my feed where it's some jerk with 50k followers trying to answer the Jewish Question, so this does not exactly ring true.

To our partners, we want to address a recent Bloomberg article which claims that harmful content viewed on Twitter has gone up over the past six months. This is an absolutely false assertion. 99.99% of Tweet impressions are healthy. Which means only a tiny amount of content

Both my folks got their first shots today. Ever have an annoying noise that goes on for a long time and then it suddenly stops and you feel incredible relief? I’ve got that, times 10000 right now.

. @NakusetS also tells me plans for a warming tent in Cabot Square will go forward. The tent will be named in honour of Raphael Andre, an Innu man who froze to death last week. Some incredible community organizing by Indigenous communities.

Montreal homeless advocates hope to have warming tent up in Cabot Square by Friday

As the Quebec government continues to refuse to make exceptions for the homeless during the province's curfew, plans are underway to erect a heated tent in Cabot Square.

Never fails. Got a killer lede for an article in my head. Sit down and start typing and some BS like "The building was black. It was a dark building" comes out. God, this is such a stupid way to make a living.

General rule is, if people feel safe and comfortable waving this at your protest, you cause is fundamentally wrong.

Just hit me that today marks two years since I was rushed to hospital. Literally everything about my life changed that day. Coincidentally, dropping a longread later this week about a subject I've thought about every day since: what it means to die.

There will be no @CTVMontreal newscast tonight as @ADeMeltCTV and @PKarwatskyCTV are distracted by really cute dogs.

This is awful. Jed was the type of boss you hope for. Compassionate but with high standards. He pushed us to do good journalism but never forgot we were people first. After my medical crisis, I will never forget the kindness he showed. A huge loss for CTV and my former colleagues

Confirmed through three independent sources (thanks as always for your tips) that CTV is swinging the axe again. CTV Montreal news director @JedKahane is among the casualties. His bio on the website has already been updated.

To all my Jewish homies, chag sameach. These are tough times, but as Passover reminds us, we’ve been through worse. We’re supposed to be a light for the world and there’s a lot of darkness right now. Try and spread a little kindness.

I got to talk to @thepunkrockmba for @REALpunknews about marketing for punk, hardcore and metal bands in the time of COVID and #BLM . Really interesting stuff from a dude not afraid to say what some music fans don't want to hear.

While 2020 might be great for getting the creative juices flowing if you like making pissed-off music, the business side of things has become, and looks…
