Considering *everything* I’ve been curious why musical activism hasn’t really taken off this decade like it did in the 1960s, where almost every hit song was political. Olivia Rodrigo randomly dropping this today *might* be the start of something? music.apple.com/ca/album/ser...

To film The Odyssey, IMAX’s newest camera had to survive mountains, deserts, and the open sea—but also intimate conversations between actors. IMAX's global president takes us through how the engineering behind that leap happened right in Mississauga.

Who else is Odyssey-maxxing? I spoke with IMAX’s global president about the 🇨🇦 innovation behind Christopher Nolan’s summer blockbuster, and if the company can get the IMAX experience into more theatres.

So this is what it looks like to see Staios flailing. Feels like he’s completely lost control. No Giroux, re-sign Cousins, trade for Ersson and Burakovsky for NO reason (likely FAs). Then you DON’T QO Ersson then give him MORE money and term? Even if you believed in him you coulda QO’d!

Really scared to see Nick Cousins re-sign with the Sens right after insiders say Giroux is going to UFA. My heartbreak will no know bounds if Giroux is wearing any other crest next year.

I feel like the vibes of the upcoming Sens season are actually going to be very good. Of course we seem to have a knack for punching above our weight in drama, but idk, I suddenly feel hyped. Like the scorned fan base is going to show up out of pure spite this year.

Thinking about how I ran into Chabot at a random Starbucks on Baseline road because he sticks around Ottawa for the offseason.

Maybe bad take but I really WANTED to like Brady. This is a shame imo, but it was getting harder to grit my teeth and cheer this team with him on it while he’s so obviously obtuse. This is insane.

Is Staios actually trades Spence he deserves a slap upside the head. Literally the reason the Sens could remotely survive all the D injuries.

Watching Summer Games Fest you can tell Geoff Keighley has been psychically damaged by Highguard cause he isn’t doing his usual “this game is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen” routine for ever other announcement. Even the final reveal he wasn’t putting his hype on the line.

Could never have been a professional athlete because the radio saying “The Blue Jays, or more specifically Jeff Hoffman, blew a lead in the ninth inning last night” is brutal. But also fair. I’m still mad.
