Ex-lexicographer. My book is The Rude Story of English. On Canadian radio, I do documentaries and silly news quizzes.

Today, JHR is thrilled to join forces with @Hub_FreeSpeech for a special event celebrating World Press Freedom Day and the FSH Inaugural ceremony. Together, we stand strong in defending media freedom and supporting Afghan journalists.

I drove a big truck and then made a podcast about it. It's on the radio machines tonight in Canada and on the podcast machines already everywhere.

Here is the truck I drove. So fast. So wobbly-ly. This guy in the picture was my instructor.

@NoLore Thanks Nora!

Maybe this is a cold take now but possibly what happens is so many people stumble into watching or re-watching Threads and then on to The Day After etc., on a global scale that finally shifts the needle to precipitate nuclear disarmament and then world peace, why not.

@TheCraigLauzon @TOwolfpack @ONGreybeards @CanadaGrizzlies @ZacBailey14 @AndrewVossy Wow!

In this issue of RadioDoc Review, read Jess Shane's provocative manifesto for the rise of "Third Podcasting" after Fernando Solanas and Octavio Getino's concept of "Third Cinema." https://t.co/JHN6bKO8t5

@Lazin_Ryder I'm surprised they didn't try "fishermurphies". Win Rex over; sow chaos within the opposition.

And wouldn't we all be more curious to hear the pronouncements of an "Ombudsmurphy"?

This is happening! These two found each other again in Toronto after ten years of forced separation that began just before their planned wedding day in Afghanistan. They finally got married in Toronto this spring. Come to a fundraiser for them!

@kallipearl Have you checked if those nice remote Italian villages all got bought in the end? (They might be up for sale again, even if there were..)

@RonSexsmith Not even 10 a.m. and your day's work is done.

Globe and Mail loosens some restraints too. In its main frontpage headline, no less. Down with restraints and rules! Liberate the apostrophe!

More food for pragmatists.

Chris Hookway: such a wonderful philosopher and person. I was honoured to have him as one of my DPhil supervisors and am honoured to have an offering to him in this volume. Thank you Bob, Paniel and Daniel for this volume.
