A great way to begin a Monday morning is reading the always funny, ever smart Drew Hayden Taylor in today’s @theglobeandmail.com

Interesting verb choice difference between the print and on-line versions of today’s lead story in @theglobeandmail.com

Jonathan Rose @jonathanrose.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

Interesting verb choice in this @nytimes.com headline. Why not “attacks” or “bombs”?

Jonathan Rose @jonathanrose.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

It must be such a fun gig writing the @nytimes.com Corrections. Another gem today.

Jonathan Rose @jonathanrose.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

Pretty sure this *will* draw backlash but *may* decimate university funding.

Jonathan Rose @jonathanrose.bsky.social · 03/11/2025

Thinking of using this as my ice breaker in my electoral systems class today. Too soon?

The Sunday @nytimes.com Corrections never fails to deliver. #ickyTrump

Although it’s a common name, I think I recognize this sense of humour as the former president of the CPSA. What do you think @cpsa-acsp.bsky.social !?

What a fantastic photo by Darren Calabrese in today’s @theglobeandmail.com. It’s giving Alex Colville.

What a lede! Nice writing, Grayson Haver Currin. From today’s @nytimes.com

How tone deaf do you have to be to say this? Did Pete Hoekstra skip day 1 of Ambassador School?

US ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra says something really dumb.

Clever use of zeugma (or syllepsis) on the front page of the New York Times!

New York Times headline that uses chicken in a clever way

This headline must have sent grammar nerds over the edge clutching their style guides. #regretheerror

Sad news at Queen’s Political Studies. My message to colleagues includes the link to the John Meisel lecture series including a short video about him: www.queensu.ca/politics/eve...

I don’t see Canada on Trump‘s ‘big boy billboard’. Is this to quell the Liberal party momentum until after the election?

Jonathan Rose @jonathanrose.bsky.social · 29/03/2025

Lots to like about this piece, @smsaideman.bsky.social’s quibble notwithstanding. I think the best part is buried here.

My nomination for best, if not most succinct, letter to the editor.

Hey Donald, you might think we are are Charlie Brown but we are not. #psychodrama

Other than the obvious provocation, I can see the logic of this. Wonder what @kimnossal.bsky.social thinks?

This is ~$200k well spent in today’s @nytimes.com Well put, Grant Grissom.

A full page ad in the New York Times from Grant Grissom asking Trump to resign and giving reasons.

It’s too bad Ali Watkins of @nytimes.com is not on here because I would love to tell her of the sheer delight of reading the phrase “Pequodian journey” in an article today about someone searching for a “crypto White Whale.” Bravo!!

Text of a New York Times article by Ali Watkins using the phrase Paquodian journey

But also this from Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff.

Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff throws down the gauntlet after meeting the 13 premiers.

Trump achieved his goal of causing maximum disruption but also, unwittingly, stiffened the spines of Canadian leaders

DeepThink sure has some blinders/limitations. If I didn’t know any better, I might even say self-censorship. /s

Deep think ignores Chinese political questions.

Today’s nomination for the best lede goes to @acoyne.bsky.social for this perfect summary of recent events.

The Globe And Mail had its survey of Canada‘s most liveable cities. It was an eye-opener to put to rest some of the congenial truths we tell ourselves about our city. Here’s the Kingston edition. www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/ar...

Let it be known that in Kingston we go all out on Santa Claus parade floats.

Well this is a first. At the end of my run today met @amandablack.bsky.social who had fresh focaccia from Pasta G (iykyk). I came home with the perfect post run snack. Thanks, Mandy!

Scenes from Queens University convocation, part two. A thrill to welcome back Queen’s Political Studies alumni, @nytimes.com author and Pulitzer prize winner, Matthieu Akins.

Powerful ad in today’s @nytimes.com. The absence of any graphics and text heavy argument only reinforce its message. #ACLU

Jonathan Rose @jonathanrose.bsky.social · 06/11/2024

There are a number of ways to make sense of the US election. Many of them focus on the motivations, behaviour and beliefs of citizens. I’m looking forward to this lecture tomorrow by Peter MacLeod to offer some perspective on the role of citizens in “democracy’s second act”. Join us!

This is a succinct summary of one of the problems of the polling industry and its assumptions.

Fall Fair at Queen’s University. Great to share the good things happening in Political Studies. Swing by Grant Hall if you’re in town
