Cops keep showing up to arts events about Palestine. What can organizers do? Toronto police showed up at a comedy fundraiser and at a film screening on the same night in April. Organizers describe how this fits into a broader pattern and what can be done to protect community…

On April 4, TPS entered the lobby of Comedy Bar moments before the start of a fundraising event for Gaza.

That same night, cops entered a theatre at TIFF Lightbox midway through a screening of 'Palestine 36.'

I dug into this concerning trend for @thegrindto.bsky.social.

No real surprises on the Johnny Blue Skies album except that "Stay On That" really reminds me of modern day Hanson. This is a compliment.

I got comps for a show last night and I could spend time praising in public forums but the thing is, if I hadn't had the comps, the cost for a single ticket would have had three digits and I don't feel great telling people to shell that kind of money out for a show that could be called Good

OPINION | Canadian TV needs to get weird again | CBC Arts In the ‘80s and ‘90s, English Canadian screens were filled with bizarre, fever dream-like shows. Writer Niko Stratis argues that we need to back to that

For CBC Arts, I wrote about why I think Canada needs to revel in the beauty of its weirdest impulses www.cbc.ca/arts/canadia...

On Tues all HBO content on Crave stopped working for us when using an HDMI cable from our laptop to TV. I contacted customer service and they said they would call us back w/ next steps. They called today to say this should now be “expected” when using an external device to watch HBO on Crave.

We had someone enter our apartment when we were not home years ago, (they took a garbage bag, and a can of beer from the fridge?!) and in response my mom got us one of those cameras for Christmas. I couldn’t have imagined a creepier thing so we used the gift receipt to exchange it for a table 🤷‍♀️

I am deeply disturbed and worried about the Ontario that Doug Ford is creating, but am disassociating by being actively upset that there was not a Blue Jays float in the Santa Claus Parade even though Rogers had the broadcast rights this year. Have you no joy?! #Canada150

My favourite thing about Toronto’s 500 million dollar streetcars is that they only have three call buttons each and they are always 13 feet away from where you are sitting or standing.

Give! Us! Pull cords!
