  1. Today's interviewee appears to be a no-show. Sad face.
  2. 8 degrees and rainy on the first Saturday in June? If you need me I'll be drinking iced tea in my apartment and channeling the beach, hard.
  3. @MissExpatria This is a wise strategy for sanity self-preservation.
  4. @michelledean Right? Rage-inducing. (Also, kind of weirdly hilarious. You go, you magazine industry expert you. You know your stuff.)
  5. @MissExpatria I've seen at least 3 variations on that theme, yep. I know I shouldn't get worked up about shit people say on the web, but...
  6. One last GOOD layoffs note: Comments like "I'm a mag buff & I've never heard of them, no wonder they got fired" just make you look ignorant.
  7. "When Americans don't get soccer, it's b/c they don't get the simple idea that soccer is about stories. Every game—every season—is a story."
  8. In more optimistic publishing news, there's this: Howler, a new quarterly magazine about soccer. kickstarter.com/projects/qurai… (via @kottke)
  9. True thing: This is the first time I haven't watched the Stanley Cup Finals since 1996. @CBCsports made it pretty clear I'm not their demo.
  10. The @GOOD layoffs, Storified: storify.com/petersterne/re… Includes GOOD's "we lost great people to better serve you" nonsense tweet. #ugh #sigh
  11. @ivortossell How very strange! File under: things I didn't know about Toronto.
  12. @Robsonian As in "The Toronto Globe and Mail reports..."
  13. @Robsonian Hee. It's extra funny because the Globe is forever battling the "Toronto newspaper" moniker elsewhere, too.
  14. @ivortossell ?? Do they "credit" scoops with this euphemism, too? I'm trying to picture "Another Toronto newspaper breaks explosive news..."
  15. @ivortossell What, does the Star have a policy against mentioning the G&M? Bizarre.
  16. (Also, possibly, the only Canadian urban-dance-themed coming-of-age/romance movie of all time. But still.)
  17. For the record, How She Move is the greatest Canadian urban-dance-themed coming-of-age/romance movie of all time. youtube.com/watch?v=wkkYRP…
  18. But which one? So many valid choices!
  19. I'm not going to lie to you people: My post-deadline decompression routine this evening is going to include an urban-dance-themed rom com.
