I've been looking for this tweet. Will pin it to my account as a reminder of the threat of disinformation, doublespeak. https://t.co/c5hvin3w7q

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.

After a dreadful first half, did not see this coming. A terrific second 45 led by Josh Sargent flipped the match. Playoff hopes are barely flickering but they remain alight. #TFCLive

PUT THREE ON THE BOARD ‼️

[Ashley Burke @AshleyBurkeCBC]

The fundraising campaign just officially launched to try and come up with $50 million to restore 24 Sussex Drive. The Rideau Hall Foundation says so far $5.7 million has been raised.

@stereogum @NearPerfPitch I discovered XTC with “Black Sea” which I heard on FM radio. “Drums and Wires” also went into my vinyl collection. Learned so much more from this deep dive. The band remains one of my all time favourites.

Terrible train wreck in Spain.

[CNN @CNN]

Death toll rises to at least 30 after a collision between two trains in Spain's Toledo province. It's the third rail disaster in the country this year. Follow live updates. https://t.co/00lAVd3FIW

Evergreen tweet.

Perspective.

Keep it mind.

It’s Election Day in Toronto but you know what else?

October 26 is the only day of the year where there are games in MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL.

MLB: World Series Game 3
NBA: 9 games
NFL: Monday Night Football
NHL: 3 games

You have many viewing options. 😉

@ddiamond @DanLamothe I think it’s dandy. 🎩

Praising Kane.

@Ken_Campbell27 Oh I know Ken. The whittling away of a former Canadian TV staple

The one play that sums up the Chiefs performance against Seattle for me?

Mahomes best moment was recovering his own fumble under the pile after being flattened from behind.

Not a pass or a scramble.

A fumble recovery.

[Tom Harrington @cbctom]

@MarriedWithMics That Seattle defense is outstanding. They’ll be tough even without K9

[Tom Harrington @cbctom]

Imagine if someone had called the cops on Gretzky 60 years ago??!! 🤔😣

[TMZ @TMZ]

A youth soccer game in Florida ended with cops being called because a 3-year-old was outplaying the other kids on the field.

[Tom Harrington @cbctom]

@MarriedWithMics For sure. It was an ass kicking but exposed what the club has been getting away with so far. No pass rush, a young secondary and no depth at wide receiver. The game against the broncos Sunday is huge

2017 Oscars: Best picture, La La Land…umm Moonlight.

Ballon d’Or: Hold my beer.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthleticFC: France Football caused a stir this afternoon by accidentally publishing "winner" articles for Harry Kane, Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe on the official Ballon d’Or website before deleting them. https://t.co/nqcYzLyeZK

[Tom Harrington @cbctom]

@MarriedWithMics Yeah that was odd though he did lots of pregame chats and hellos
