  1. Buy a $2.6-million penthouse loft in Liberty Village; get a sweet view of the strip mall: j.mp/L3f9qs
  2. @GracingTheStage You should subscribe to The Grid Podcast on iTunes! All the cool kids are doing it.
  3. @GracingTheStage Glad you dug it!
  4. So here's the latest episode of The Grid Podcast. It's about Comedy Bar, and why it's so great: j.mp/KJ5B5Z
  5. Promising a podcast that's exclusively knock-knock jokes is apparently not the best way to promote it!
  6. And then, oh what a party we would surely have!
  7. If you distributed us evenly, Torontonians would each have their own space "the size of a doubles tennis court": j.mp/L7vbjV
  8. The Toronto Public Library's got video of Malcolm Gladwell's talk here this week, if you're into that sort of thing: j.mp/MZu7CJ
  9. Let no-one say that I don't know precisely what my vast, vast audience (podience?!) wants.
  10. By popular demand, The Grid Podcast this week with @larazarum is 100% knock-knock jokes: j.mp/KJ5B5Z
  11. What are you even doing, Jaguar? j.mp/LfTlbC
  12. @nickhunebrown @ivortossell #MadJag
  13. @nickhunebrown Best part of all this Jaguar weirdness is this stuff: "SPOILER ALERT you ASS. Goddamn it" j.mp/LfRfbP
  14. @coreymintz @grandelectricTO @cnutsmith shhh guys
  15. @urban__dreamer Hope you'll submit that one! Twitter doesn't count.
  16. It's your last day to tell The Grid what your big idea to make Toronto better is—after that, no more optimism, please: j.mp/KdkzlI
  17. @GraphicMatt @kvey "Nothing is certain, except death and taxes [on haircuts and sweaters made for small dogs]"—Benjamin Franklin
  18. @NPsteve @thekeenanwire Good thing I didn't come, due to my muscles. I don't like being too showy, with my muscles.
  19. @kvey @GraphicMatt I prefer an Other People's Money And Not Mine Thanks Transfer Tax (OPMANMTTT)
  20. Would be kinda nice if the person in charge of the City of Toronto's budget understood how taxes work: j.mp/KwFGzR
