Ignore the inaccurate HBO portrayal. Jerry West, though not perfect, is one of the most admirable men to ever have such athletic success, especially where he came from. He lived a long and remarkable life - impacting the sport well into his 70s - but his loss is still sad.

How is it possible that I am doing two separate stories that involve the “hay” method of job evaluation in one week? What are the odds? Could I make journalism sound any less exciting?

I wondered where Boris Johnson wound up.

The 2024 Presidental Election

Very happy to see the man who introduced the honourary degree recipients at MUN get one of his own (or maybe he has several?). World-class professor and built heritage advocate and historian. vocm.com/2024/07/02/for…

We didn’t even realize it was election day in St. Pierre (and all French overseas territories) when we went over today. We only saw signs at one spot, and there were more people playing Bocce than hanging around any polling stations (if there were any).

I wrote a story while on vacation, which is pretty lame. But there’s a fun detail that lets me pretend I’m still young: the first interview (he thinks) of Tom Osborne’s political career was with my father. The first interview of his new career was with me.

Millennials are getting colonoscopies and prepping their kids ready for junior high. There is a whole other generation driving this trend.

It isn’t a “news ban.” They were told they were “stealing content.” They were told that if they kept doing so they’d have to pay a penalty. So they stopped. They weren’t stealing content, of course. They were sending people to our pages, a valuable service they provided us for

Are any ad/TV people able to tell me why I get one ad on CBC Gem on desktop, but about 15 when I try and watch on my phone?

You cannot convince me that the New Orleans Pelicans couldn’t use Bruno Caboclo right now.

So who "won" the Olympics? The U.S., France, Uzbekistan, Leon Marchand, Simone Biles, Gabby Thomas or Yusuf Dikec? I gotta give it to Dikec.

One of the only draft dodgers to stay in NL turned 80 today. After early activism, including against construction of Atlantic Place (where I now work), his journalism career led him to Tiananmen Square, the Gulf War, and home again. I'll be telling his story in 2025. Stay tuned.

The Hezbollah office worker who ordered 1,000 cheap pagers from TotallyNotMossadPagers.il

So Mossad definitely saw that season of The Wire when the cops sold the dealers their own phones.

When Newfoundlander Jane Rowe led the sale of MLSE to Rogers and Bell in 2012, it was considered a big win for the ON Teachers' Pension Plan, and it was a big profit. But Bell just sold its piece at a 750% profit (62%/year) so I imagine they feel alright. sportico.com/business/team-…
