I had two follows today from imposters posing as public figures. There's some kind of bot madness going down.
My favourite apple tree in the park is still producing apples. I hug it everytime I walk past. It’s one tree in a small ghost orchard on the Humber River near Baby Point. #Toronto
@adamgrant.bsky.social I’ve just reported this imposter account - @mr-adamgrant.bsky.social
Thank goodness for science and research. I did this three shot vaccination almost two decades ago.
Gorgeous. I love growing dahlias.
Moi!! Did you grow that? what a beauty.
Graham Greene was an extraordinary actor. #RIP
The generic Ontario apple from a market that doesn't know the varietal. I think they are MacIntosh.

Happy #LabourDay Canada. Here’s a tasy truth bomb. @cupescfp.bsky.social #CdnLabour 🇨🇦
The thing I have no time for anymore is talk of peace between Russia and Ukraine. Stop reporting a lie like it’s the truth. That gig is up. #Ukraine 🇺🇦
An Instagram connection told me I must try his recipe for Vietnamese-style Caramelized Pork Ribs.
Yes, those regrets are over.
What is your favourite David Lebovitz recipe? Mine is Roast Chicken with Carmelized Shallots. www.davidlebovitz.com/roast-chicke...
I’m a wee bit ahead of you, and no matter the ups and downs, the whole thing is better without it.
Beautiful! Keep on going.
Me too
Too soft and is a sponge for the steam from the meat.

The colour and saturation is fantastic.
Aunt Agnes was a "half a bubble off plumb.""
Nope, love them equally.
I made lovely salad lunches at work, too. Nothing better than a well-tossed salad, a couple of jammy boiled eggs, and a good slice of bread.
*swoon*
Yes
Salads 🧵
It's fucking Lou. Honestly, people need to get out more. 😂
A former colleague told me this morning this poem could be about me. poetryconnection.net/poets/michae...
Sunday morning (sung like Lou Reed).
A sparkling Humber River. #Toronto
"The convenience store has become a symbol of overtourism in Japan."
A great interview.
Damn!

You forget these
I loved WigWag bars.
I love Donny Hathaway.
It's so deeply and distinctly vegetal.
Brilliant! #vaccines #CDC
There was a bushel basket of new crop MacIntosh apples at the market today and I bought a few. They are crisp, juicy, and tangy — ideal for eating for a very short time because they don’t store well and quickly turn soft and mealy.
The #tariffs ruling plus the fight with #LisaCook at the Federal Reserve weaken the Republican's position. Their most faithful won’t blink, but it will give plenty of voters pause. Both represent important aspects of their economic plan. It's a relief to see public discontent growing.
Doing illegal unconstitutional tariffs is the embarrassment
I hate the headline because it doesn't pin it on the UCP. It's so typical of the cultish, book banning crowd. They've always been out there, and they're emboldened.
It is alarming.
I was thinking beverages like cider or kombucha.
That sounds delicious
More of this please #tariffs
Recipe ideas please. There are tons of apples, both eating and cooking ones. Any ideas for what to do with them?
That headline sucks. "Edmonton Public School Board chair Julie Kusiek said there is a list of books that will be removed from schools as a result of the government's ministerial order. Kusiek said the board shares concerns raised by community members and opposed the policy."
Here is my main opinion on AI, in every capacity: What is the point of technology? Is it to make our lives better and easier, or is it to make a very small percentage of people richer? The latter is what AI is doing. The people actually doing the coding are making themselves redundant.
A friend with two teens sent me a text that she just spent $325 on groceries for a family of four. The only meat she bought was chicken at 40 percent off. She is a chef and cooks home meals. Have we had a drop since the pandemic? What are the five year figures? How do they compare with profit?
I want a grocery/food tariff expert (not the populist east coast academic on the corporate payroll) to do a comparison shop of Canadian grocers—Loblaws, Wallmart, CostCo, Sobeys—and show what price increases are justified and where there’s price gouging for shareholder profit. Seeing is believing.
Brace for the air show Toronto.
Me too.
We definitely need more trade with Mexico. These taste like they were made by an abuela. Bought at Dufferin Mall No Frills (in Toronto). Grocery prices are staggering. I'm always looking for sources of plant protein that aren't made by tech lab bros.
Big Shitty Party by Melissa Febos for the Kenyan Review. A brilliant essay on the hazards of memoir writing.
Last night on The National they were still talking about "peace" between Russia and Ukraine like they can't read the room. Peace is not happening, and it is time to use frozen Russian assets to support #Ukraine. 🇺🇦
Climate is going to dwarf some of our current problems.
Happy Birthday! 🎈
This has everything — Meghan Markle, psuedo-farmers, trad breadwinners, Mormons, and coercive white M*ga Christians. The conversation is *chef's kisses*
Not to get into a pickle, but I'm popping in to spread some joy with this sneak peak of tomorrow's column! Tomorrow at 7:40 am EST (GMT-4) 89.1 FM in Waterloo Region, Guelph, & Wellington County
Actually, I think this might be extraterrestrial
On this day in 1955, two white men abducted and murdered 14-year-old Emmett Till in Mississippi.

This should be mandatory listening. Brian Stevenson, of the Equal Justice Initiative, implores the public to push back on the misinformation campaign by Republicans who want to rewrite and diminish the horrors of white supremacy and slavery in American history. @eji.org #Smithsonian
Russia is not, and has never been, interested in peace. Let us drop the silly suggestions that they are close to ending the war they started. It is time to put much tougher sanctions in place. @liberalca.bsky.social @mark-carney.bsky.social #Ukraine 🇺🇦
Concerts at The Granstand! Good memories.
Tech companies are accustomed to launching products in the draft phase and using the public (our children) as test subjects. They do it because the field is unregulated—we sign off on the fine print without considering the consequences.
This is fun
This says a lot. What we are exposed to at this point from the hyperbolic tech savants in Silicon Valley is an application that should be in the draft folder. They have grown accustomed to freely using the public as test subjects.
It’s bad when it happens anywhere.
Flood The Zone. An act of war.
Too many cooks love restaurant associations without knowing why.
“Mr. President… I understand why you are confused...all your time in D.C. you haven't eaten ONCE outside the White House or your own hotel.” Not a word about Washington from the National Restaurant Association. Jose Andres should get the Nobel Peace Prize. #Washington #restaurants
Beautiful
Yes, I agree, his production style is visually agressive.
Yes, he says that on Instagram.
Nice to know, and not surprised. I love and have made so much from his first book, Saving The Season. I read it from cover to cover.
"The concept was inspired by Marian Morash’s 1982 bestseller, “The Victory Garden Cookbook.” “The Cook’s Garden” builds upon the legacy of the Victory Garden movement, which began during World War I and continued through World War II as an initiative to support food self-sufficiency. “
The slip into my follower file with no mention. Like through some mysterious backdoor. There always the kind of account I block quickly.
Everyday lately I remove an unannouned follower on this platform.
I don’t usually post this stuff because of his despicable support of Alex Jones. But this roast feels like it’s been in the oven a long time. I’m grateful to have followed a thread on comedian Marc Maron. The video is combative—like visual jijitsu.
Cult. Also, ROTFL.
I have worked to shut a lot of the AI off on my devices. There’s zero autfill in my texts, and I receive no assistance from my phone provider, word processing, and social media platforms. I want to be an AI dinosaur right now. The last one to the party. We do not know enough and it’s not regulated.
This is how you stand up to bullies and aspiring tyrants.
I have never been and that will change on my next visit. #Montreal
Americans are still trying to purchase from her and don’t even know this is happening.
I have a friend who sells fabulous vintage housewares and decor through an online store and her largest market in America has disappeared overnight. The Republicans, while self-enriching, are destroying global commerce at a scale that is mind-boggling. #deminimus
"I am trying to be conscientious...to work with and for institutions that are directing their accrued power responsibly." Good discussion about the problem with platforms like X and Substack from @pbump.com who left the Washington Post. www.pbump.net/o/the-power-...
I love plum jam. A friend also makes a deicious compote.
Thank you, Lisa Cook.

Dear gentlecreatures, I want to make you aware of 2 upcoming events: 🔸Labor Day is the next "big one." Look up your local one and get out there, if you can. If you can't, spread the word. 🔸An economic black out is coming up September 16-20. If you can't do that much, do the 17th: Constitution Day. 🇺🇸
