Nov 23: Canadian launch party @typebooks w/book club co-founder, Wilda owner, and friend @bleszcz

@JesseBrown It felt like a series of sensational anecdotes without an overarching narrative arc that paid off. Seemed like Marsh kinda duped Canadaland, and as a listener, I felt a bit duped, too. I was promised a crazy Canadian political fixer story & I got a weird cult story

@abaquan I'd spend all my money /
on fermented honey

[Benjamin Leszcz @bleszcz]

This is a phenomenal opportunity.

Hey everyone, what do you think of when you hear the word "wilding"?

[Benjamin Leszcz @bleszcz]

Fun to be the subject, not the writer, in this lovely piece about Royal Canadian Mead by @brionycwsmith in the @TorontoStar

@JulietONeill @Ravens_Point I do not endorse this tactic.

@mikejstein @globeandmail @GlobeDebate “The ‘content’ of a medium is like the juicy piece of meat carried by the burglar to distract the watchdog of the mind.”

Focusing on screen time, or the evils of IG's algorithm, misses the point. Once you enter phone-land, you're a goner.

[Benjamin Leszcz @bleszcz]

Let's establish new norms that reflect what we already know: that our phones steal our attention and diminish our humanity.

@mikejstein @globeandmail @GlobeDebate 100%. But as McLuhan would say, addictiveness is inherent to the hardware; once the smartphone was out there, it only took a dash of evil genius to get us truly, deeply hooked

[Benjamin Leszcz @bleszcz]

Just when you thought that everyone had a smartphone, you read the comments section for my latest essay (https://t.co/6gRDUjAoSs), which makes it seem like 50% of @globeandmail readers are still rocking Nokias

[Benjamin Leszcz @bleszcz]

With thanks, as always, to @itsmarkmedley, for the opportunity and endless reserves of patience

[Benjamin Leszcz @bleszcz]

@AcmeWorks @globeandmail Appreciate this, and no need to feel guilty. I am not anti-phone, I'm anti-phones-all-the-time!

[Benjamin Leszcz @bleszcz]

@Ravens_Point Agree with this, too, 100%. My hope is to spark exactly this awareness and conversation. You might first seem like a crank, but you're merely defending decency.

[Benjamin Leszcz @bleszcz]

@Ravens_Point Agree with this 100%. Literally anything you do on a phone is a lesser version of something you can do IRL. Nothing beats a print newspaper.

@jonahletovsky Thanks Jonah, appreciate the share!
