For no particular reason I wanted to share what I believe to be the greatest Onion headline.

Hey everyone: the Toronto Comic Arts Festival is coming up soon!: June 6-7, with additional events and programming starting even earlier, all at the Mattamy Athletic Centre (aka Maple Leaf Gardens). Free! Fun! Drop by! lnkd.in/eYWAutAa Additional event details below.
The TCAF event poster, with the words "TCAF 2026, June 6+7" at the top. The poster depicts an exuberant drawing of an anime style female character with pink hair and glasses, reading a comic titled "Toronto Comic Arts Festival", and bursting with images of love letters, roses, a quill pen, a bottle of perfume with a blue jay on the label, and maple leaves.

For the last 15 year my mom (wynford and eglinton) and I (bloor and Ossington) have been plotting to meet at Yonge and Eg for brunch via the LRT running past her house. TODAY WAS THAT DAY. Brunch was had, light rails were ridden. Flawless execution by all parties. #line5 #ttc #brunchinfrastructure

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who or Transformers.

Fun early kickoff to #TCAF: finally got to see @payingforit.bsky.social, which was great; a nice tribute to ‘90s era Toronto, home to one of the coolest little corners of indy comics creating in North America at the time. Nice words of welcome by Exec Director @librarylandia.bsky.social .

Finished War on Gaza this morning, a short graphic essay by Joe Sacco. Feeling heartbroken and complicit. Weirdly both a historical record of Joe Biden’s role in, and real-time journalism of this ongoing tragedy. @fantagraphics.bsky.social
The front cover of the graphic novel war on Gaza depicting bombs falling on body bags against a red backgroundTwo pages from the interior of war on Gaza. The first page, in a series of panels, depicts Palestinians protesting at a reinforced border, being targeted by Israeli military snipers. The second page opposite, it shows military bombs falling on body bags.

Shut off the electricity, stop the flow of oil, cut off the potash. This is the most unified we're going to get as a country, and it's time to endure some self-inflicted harm while we're braced for it and while the US, frankly, is not even really sure why they are doing this.

This is obviously a trap. We never should have sent all of them down in a group.

I was walking with my wife on the Leslie Spit, and we spotted a Snowy Owl sitting on the lighthouse. As we approached this majestic raptor I said, “Now there’s a fat seagull.”
