While still under the technologically-challenging post-Mercury Retrograde shadow (for those who are astrologically superstitious), Lost Telegram Press publisher Christopher Shoust talked to me and fellow LTP author John Biscello about the role ego plays in our respective books, The Last Furies (John) and At the Mercy of Our Muses: two novellas (me).

#MarkCarney named The #CanadianPress Newsmaker of the Year
_____

This time last year, the average #Canadian might have struggled to pick Mark Carney’s face out of a crowd.

Now he’s among the most recognizable figures in the country, and was selected The Canadian Press Newsmaker of the Year for 2025 in an annual survey of newsroom editors and leaders from across the country

"Canada's Marco Arop crossed the finish line in one minute 43.48 seconds to win...."

one minute 43.48 seconds?

Then they use this format elsewhere in the article, "1:43:38", and then back to correctly using decimal places for tenths of a second "20.50"

That writing makes me irrationally annoyed... Was this written by AI??

Gonna email my team on monday: "guys, let's meet at three 45 this afternoon..."

Getting on in years can bring back some of the magic of childhood!

For example, failing eyesight caused me to wonder how on earth former Canadian PM Harper managed to get a piece of processed cheese stuck on his shoe?
