​Last week​ in this newsletter, I summarized some interesting results from ​a study​ that analyzed the behavior of 164,000 knowledge workers.

The left, meanwhile, have a more nuanced understanding of the ironies inherent in Orwell’s mode of political critique, but still don’t quite get things completely right. Director Raoul Peck, who has previously made films about great modern thinkers (James Baldwin in I Am Not Your Negro and Karl Marx in The Young Karl Marx), is here to straighten things out as he turns his lens to Orwell for this strangely unedifying essay…

We are now to a set of shows that were all done within a month of each other. These three disc were included in the John Humphrey Collection I bought last year at an auction where I got my hands on 38 Bootleg CDs from his personal collection. Oh, if you don’t know who John Humphrey is, you need to know he is a massive Kiss collector. And he is the drummer of the band Seether. John decided to sell off his entire collection…sort of…he kept all the vinyl (like 4,000 of them). He did it through an auction at…

Clarity on the Toronto Maple Leafs and Auston Matthews may not come until June Chris Johnston of The Athletic: Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving or anyone else within the organization know which way the Auston Matthews situation will end up going.

It may not be until June when things become a little clearer. Having traded away first-round picks to Boston and Philadelphia tend to point towards a retool and not a rebuild.…
