I have to hand it to the Yankees, it is very nice to be able to cheer AGAINST something if your team is out of it.

Don’t folks know that if you’re too busy for fantasy football, but have a “social obligation” you do what my dad did and let your kids pick players even though I hated football and just picked guys with cool names from teams with cool logos? Yes, he lost badly, but what fun for me to ruin his game!

It’s driving me a bit insane that the air conditioning has been turned off on streetcars. It’s often boiling hot on them and you can’t open windows.

I have a lot of love for teams that use symbols instead of letters, but I never see the Brew Crew play. They seem fun and their fans seem almost as loud as Jays fans, lol!

The elephant in the room
Alberta separatists have gone to D.C. offering fresh water and oil in exchange for American support – and Republican operatives have provided tactical assistance inside the province

Justice for Selfie! A show with a bad name, but two hot stars with INSANE chemistry, an incredible supporting cast including an early amazing Da’Vine Joy Randolph performance, and, inexplicably, a B-plot involving Blues Traveller, that absolutely deserved a second season!

Look, I know Bono is annoying, but how dumb do you have to be to collaborate with the band that wrote Sunday, Bloody Sunday on a song about the Russian invasion of Ukraine and still think you can avoid getting into the politics of it all?

Reminds me of the night the TTC app was down, so I used the text-based “when is the next streetcar coming, I’ve been standing on this freezing corner for an hour” system and it kept telling me “five minutes” until it finally locked me out because I had texted too many times! THEN SEND A STREETCAR!

I’ve been sitting at a desk placed in front of the giant window in my third-storey apartment living room for six years now and it still scares the shit out of me every single time I see a squirrel run across the telephone line.

It was a terribly managed and played game. They should all feel bad. Now I have to start cheering for another team to defeat the Yankees.

I went to the Jays game with my bestie on Sunday and her favourite part is when they play the Addams Family theme and I just think she should get to experience that from a live human playing an honest-to-g organ.
