TSN/CTV choosing not to air Bills-Bucs is curious, to say the least. πŸ€”

They played a feisty game. The 4th line deserves props, they worked super hard. The new kid did his job. πŸ‘

Youngest team in the NHL, learning to not only win but how to keep winning. They might be getting spanked by a legit Cup contender, but they're a helluva lot better than the Leafs, and will be for the next 5 years, minimum.

Absolute banger, 20 years later.

It's so much fun, pretty much the (refreshing) antithesis of American reality TV.

Amanda's album didn't paint a flattering picture.

This'll be a nice little image rehab for Jason. Back where he belongs!

A great resource for everybody, frankly! Some outstanding advice in there for anyone who's done public speaking, or about to.

The trilingual anti-Soraya graffiti in Plateau/Rosemont/Little Italy/Villeray was impossible to miss. She is loathed here.

As a spectator with an emotional connection to one of the teams, the world series is psychological torture. It is never fun.

As a loooongtime Pulp fan and a real nerd for album design, it pleases me to no end to FINALLY own the Different Class LP with its interchangeable cover art.

We had the BEST pop culture, and thank goodness, because it was all we had as teens. Everything was brown and smelled like cigarettes, and everyone was racist and homophobic.

Pardon my being another insufferable Gen-X metalhead, but Master of Puppets and Reign in Blood. Nooooo contest.
