Best of” lists just go to 10, right? ...Right. Well, where can you go from there? Nowhere. Exactly...This one goes to 11.

In 2025, the world watched Nesh Pillay lose her memory. A story and helped her tell in ‘50,000 First Dates.’ Miniature massive made key art to amp that push. Ironically enough, we ‘forgot’ to include it.

So for this first Friday of 2026, we’re turning it up to 11. Fall in love with 2026. We already are.

Our 2025, spoiled. Here’s what brought the most heat for Mm.

10 A new vision for 2026.
Watch for Mm.IRL

9 A bumper that actually bumps.
Emmy-nominated ’s raw energy, in 15 seconds.

8 Social media OG joins Miniature massive.
The meme queen from the Virgin Mobile era. Pioneer status: in spades.

7 Tribute to Stratford’s biggest export.
is always standing on biz

6 Shoutout to ZZ. Just solid.

5 A walk down Geary Lane.
The street that defined a movement. Revisiting the 2016 fresh-snow hidden gem.

3 The late-night vibes at La Vecchia.
Italy, in Toronto. Now in Thornhill. Launch incoming 2026…

2 Stratford, on the map (the fun parts).
York street in the summertime.

1 A Jays fan loses it in a Canadian Tire bathroom. 2.5M times.
Passion waits for no one. Posted from the can in real-time. A sh*tpost fr.

Swipe for the visuals. More IRL in 2026.

NIGHTBEAT🌃 Before Geary Avenue was a “coolest neighbourhood,” it was a quiet industrial strip. Before the breweries and galleries, there was Geary Lane; a venue born from a name spoken in the dark on a night walk: Man Finds Fire. We stacked wood like a teepee for a logo, turned an old studio’s back door to the street, and built a stageless room where sound and crowd shared the same breath. We didn’t plan to transform a block. We just built a better fire. And people gathered. They still do.

Flip for vignettes and stay for the rare Fresh Snow performance from 2014 few have seen. Late nights in Toronto don’t just happen. They’re lit by sparks.
