I’m going to try and be in a better mood over here.
I can't begin to explain how shitty all of this is. I've waited my whole life for the World Cup to come to Canada and every single thing that's happened has just made it so much worse.

Maybe I can grab a $8 ticket to Qatar vs. New Zealand or something.
North American sporting icons Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky, Shaquille O’Neal and Aaron Judge will help conduct Friday’s 2026 World Cup draw in Washington D.C., FIFA has announced.

School buses should be allowed to take the bus lanes on the DVP.

Between the bus being 45 minutes late and traffic, these kids are going to get a solid 2.5 hours at Harbourfront.

He should fire Hodgson.

On the other hand, we're here today because he chose Hodgson over Guilbeault.

Went to a concert Friday night.

20 years ago, I would have done that and then gone across the street and browsed the record store and grabbed whatever interested used CDs I could find.

Now it’s a Dollarama.
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

I'm so upset about this on both a personal and professional level.

I go to work to try and make the smallest difference in making things better and Carney rolls coal right in our faces.

"Sebastien Squillaci. Pascal Cygan. Marouane Chamakh. To some New Yorkers, these are simply names of former Arsenal players. But to others, they are words that, when spoken aloud by someone with Mr. Mamdani's ideological bent, make them feel unsafe in their own city."

Arsenal fandom has been steadily rising in New York City, and it is the responsibility of the Mayor to ensure that New Yorkers who do not root for that particular team feel safe in their communities. defector.com/can-zohran-m...

Arsenal win. Leafs win. Raptors win. Jays sign Cease.

Perfect day.

We prayed for times like this.
Bayern Munich, who twice went 20ish minutes without getting into the Arsenal penalty area, ended this game with 0.68 xG.

That is the third *most* xG by an Arsenal opponent in Premier League and European games this season.

wait...which Canadian billionaire

there's only like 50 of them
Thomas Massie says the FBI is sitting on information that implicates 20 other men in Epstein's child sex trafficking operation

They include a rockstar, six billionaires (including one from Canada), a high-profile government official, a very prominent banker, and a magician

Real tweets from the White House are indistinguishable from anti-Trump AI slop.

Or, in this case, 1990s Adbusters parodies.

I try and not to judge other parents but we’re well past the point of knowing the damage caused by excessive screen time and we’re still jamming tablets and screens into kids’ hands so they’re not bored for 5 minutes.

My level of transit geekery is that I got stopped today by a VIA train on detour via the York Sub and thought "That's neat."

Which puts me somewhere between not even noticing that this is abnormal and the guys standing outside filming it.

I’m beginning to think that Republicans didn’t pay enough attention to the Kendrick/Drake feud.
Dershowitz: The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile. He pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That’s not a pedophile.
