I forgot that Tommy Pham is on the White Sox, so now I have to find a new post season team to cheer for.

this empty apartment building is voting ABC 🫡
an election sign for ABC's Sarah Kirby-Yung sits next to the sign for Hemlock Tower, which in turn has a sign on it that says "waiting list." the white building behind it is at least five stories tall. nothing in the windows or on the balconies.

You either get to be an Edmonton Oilers fan laughing in the faces of Canucks fans in Vancouver or you get the Pacific Link pipeline. You cannot have both.

In 2014, I interviewed a Columbia University student who went from class to class carrying the mattress she was raped on—a protest performance piece to remind college administrators what they put on her shoulders. Twelve years later, we still expect women on college campuses to carry that weight.

Vancouver Police Union, mayor’s party cite dated crime statistic in lead up to election
When the Vancouver Police Union launched its Vote Public safety campaign last week, the website prominently featured the claim that violent crime is “now at its lowest point since tracking began in 2022.”

Even today, Buck has never been afraid to tell it like it is. That’s what I’ll miss the most. He cares so much and that means being honest – about the players, about the future, with the fans. It’s been a terrible season. Sometimes you have to tell the players they suck when they suck. That’s Buck!

Buck Martinez is the best of us. I’ve seen what he means to people, but also how he treats people. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Hall of Famer or the new guy, he makes you feel like you belong in the room. I was that new guy once. This is so deserved. What a man. What a life.

I'm not religious and I've never been to church, but when I listen to Dolly I feel like I understand what people mean when they talk about feeling "close to God". Dolly was a believer and a healer, and she helped us imagine that anything is possible with kindness, humour & just using your noggin.

I never believe any celebrity about anything, really, except for Dolly Parton. One of the very few true voices for good, an example for all of us of putting your money where your mouth is. Ridiculous that we have to lose her while all these failure piles of humans are still around.
