This man made the heartbreaking decision in 2022 to surrender his dog after he was diagnosed with cancer and could no longer care for her. He just got the news he's in remission, and immediately adopted her again. 14/10 for both

His ex-wife committed suicide after she found his diary where he wrote in very graphic detail about 37 different affairs. He also rated his sexual encounters with a numerical scale in the journal. He’s not a doctor or scientist. Sure, he should be in charge of women’s health.

THIS IS HUGE. Paris City Hall has announced that starting on Monday, Paris will limit (not ban) car traffic in the city centre, as cities like Ghent have done. They’re creating a limited traffic zone (ZTL) about 2 sq miles in size, to clean the air & create more space for people.

@jennieg_author John Irving was a frequent visitor at Toronto’s @caseyhouseTO hospice where my mother was a nurse.

My brother spent ages going through his Irving books, deciding how many and which books he could bring to get autographed.

[MoiraD @MoiraLovesCoops]

@jennieg_author My brother was at an Irving reading where he explained the origins of the character voice in his upcoming book, that speaking in uppercase was the only way he could do it justice. When the book came out, I read all his dialogue in my brother’s imitation of Irving’s imitation.

Next time someone tells you we don't have the population to support high-speed rail, show them this chart. Great work from CBC.

Wrote about this back in July, funnily enough a few landlords told me the price-raising YieldStar system didn't work amazing for them because there weren't enough landlords using it to fill in the data gaps. https://t.co/oMrj3JqkuM

[CBC News @CBCNews]

One large Canadian landlord has stopped using software to help set rent prices after CBC News began an investigation.
The software, YieldStar, is under federal investigation in the U.S. for collusion, price-fixing and artificially inflating rents. https://t.co/YfS9wpJhO1
