No one in or from #canada ever wants to see the Brotherhood of Vlad and Bo come to an end, but if it does can we please have the #bluejays beat the #nymets for Kyle Tucker and the #phillies beat the #RedSox for Bo Bichette? This new Toronto Death Star will be built […]

When you're raising your glass of Baby Duck on New Year's Eve, spare a thought for the motley crew of Canadien, First Nations, and British defenders who defeated an American invasion force at Quebec City 250 years ago tomorrow. By the following autumn, its remnants […]

This is my partially-domesticated middle-aged expat in Kentucky who’s gonna go for a few beers after work t-shirt. #canada

Just once I'd like an office holiday party that's as exciting as the one in Nakatomi Tower back in 1988 instead of another boring potluck... #academicchatter #holidays #diehardisachristmasmovie

I did it! Finally squeezed my stress cube to death!

What am I now supposed to do with my two primary emotions, anger and disappointment, though? #academicchatter

Sometimes you just have to sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy watching your enemies manifest bitchiness towards each other. #uspol

You're complaining about daylight savings time, but I'm not done going off about living in one of the nine US states that's split into two time zones. Who did this and how can they be held accountable? #daylightsavings

This is from Google's AI gypsy fortune teller:

In four of the five instances where one LCS was a sweep and the other went seven games, the team that won the seven-game LCS went on to win the World Series.

In other words, a #bluejays #worldseries victory is about […]

The man on the couch would rather give this elimination game start to wily old Chris Bassitt (he's been money at home all season) over our young phenom, Macho Man Trey Yesavage, but what does he know?

If this is indeed the end of the line, we'll have definitely got […]

My brother shared this pic of The Supersuckers live in Vancouver on 17/10/2025 and I would cordially invite you to discover the greatest rock and roll band of all time. I saw them when they opened for Bad Religion at the State Theatre in Detroit about 30 years ago […]

This moment will go down in #bluejays lore like the Jose Bautista bat flip in game 5 of the 2015 ALDS. We're obviously hoping for a couple more of them before this is all said and done. #alcs #mariners

If feels like America really needs its version of Lech Wałęsa to step forward and meet the moment, but a few thousand weirdos in frog costumes is so much better than nothing.

Incidentally, Wałęsa is nearing the end of a long speaking tour of the US and Canada […]

Seeing Doc Halladay's kids throw out the ceremonial pitch at the #phillies game yesterday brought back a lot of really great memories. You probably haven't seen this classic photobomb for years, but this is the Doc (non-gameday, obviously) that we all loved. RIP to the goat. #bluejays

Repeat the mantra. Then win. Then do it again three more times. #bluejays

Canadians absolutely crush improv and comedic acting--just look at the murderers' row to have starred on SNL and in film--but #canada has tried and mostly failed to fill the late night comedy chat show space. Those of you of certain age will remember, probably not […]

Septembers are for #softball (aka slow pitch back in Canada) down here in this particularly sunny corner of America. Between practices and games, we'll be on the field from about 5-9 p.m. three or four nights a week, fully caked in sweat and red clay dust from the […]
