There he was, sitting behind home plate. With biceps like a Christmas ham and mountainous traps that nearly touched his ears.
Dean Angelo has been attending Jays’ games since he was a kid. Now he's become a minor supporting character in the Blue Jays World Series run.

It's the end of the year, which calls for what I hope is the start of a new tradition: The Globe...Wrapped! These are my top stories of the year based on subscriptions, engaged reading time and pageviews.

I pressed ChatGPT to make a prediction of who is going to win tonight. It said Trump.
"If forced to make a life-or-death prediction between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, based on current trends, I would lean (cautiously) towards Trump."

I hate the pervasive algorithmization of the internet and society more generally, but I gotta say, my daylists on Spotify are great!!!

For the Globe's arts cover this weekend, I wrote about Canadian artist Benjamin Von Wong's sculpture made of single-use plastics, which was installed on the High Line. theglobeandmail.com/arts/art…

For @globeandmail, I wrote about the fast-paced, obsessive world of Canada’s competitive speed puzzlers. It's a fun one!

Looks like the results are in for York South-Weston. Nunziata holds on by only 94 votes. Wow.

I usually have no issues with zucchinis and I’m so sad my plants appear stunted. Look at these bad boys from last season!

Gardening Twitter, I need your help! My lil zucchini plant isn’t getting the afternoon sun anymore thanks to a massive tree. I want to transplant it to another bed that gets more sun, but is it way too late in the season to move it?

Today is #TurningRed release day! I interviewed Canadian director Domee Shi for this month’s cover of @enRoutemag. Read the interview for the origins of Turning Red, her must-visit spots in Toronto, and her surprising dream seatmate.

Also, in the intro I make a reference to Wordle texts in the group chat and @domlamberton literally wrote the same thing this morning.

Finally getting around to reading Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu … and it’s incredible. Written as a satirical teleplay set in Chinatown, it’s a funny and brilliant portrait of the Asian American experience. A perfect companion to Minor Feelings by Cathy Park Hong.
Also, so so happy that I got to see the work of my super talented, long-time pal @robbymassey IRL

A restaurant in my neighborhood posted on Instagram asking that unvaccinated people eat on their patio, rather than indoors. Now they’re getting inundated with Google reviews like these:

I lost one of my cats last spring. He was also young and got super sick really fast. I couldn’t stop thinking about how I just wanted more time with him and how it wasn’t fair. I’m so sorry for your loss. I know how much it hurts. I hope Cookie and Pickles are hanging out.

This is a sad plant that was on the brink of death but miraculously started growing again. It now reminds me of the eels in the Little Mermaid. Can I repot it and bury the bare stems? Or let it be?

This is Fathead. He used to have a really big head that I swear got smaller after he was neutered.

Feeding the feral cats in the neighbourhood has been the best part of the pandemic. Look at this lil angel.

Also, it looks like our dude is slightly offended he was told he looks like Robert Pattinson?! Inspector Murph is an enigma.

Bought myself some prescription blue light glasses because I was getting headaches every single day and I think they’re working? These bad boys were the cheapest ones I could find but also make me feel like a cool 70s librarian.

The disparity in who's getting vaccinated in the lowest risk neighbourhoods (far right column) vs. those in the highest risk (far left) is infuriating. It's been a week+ since Ford said 18+ in hotspots will be prioritized for vaccines and yet no concrete plan has been released.

Why is figuring out who's eligible for the vaccine so confusing? I am reading the press release now from the Ont gov't and I still don't know if it's everyone 18+ who's in a hot spot or only essential workers/teachers in hot spots.

It’s extra embarrassing because I took multiple versions of this photo, experimenting with angles, and this joke just backfired big time

I made it! It was so beautiful and surprisingly not that busy. I need to go back again this winter.
Toronto Skating Twitter, please help me. I have heard that there's good skating at Rouge Park, but I have no idea where to go. Where are these frozen ponds and waterways? As an ex-figure skater, I'm still new to all this natural rink stuff!
