[after every single pitch] that’s baseball for ya

A truly terrible glass. Water served in these is always full of those hollow ice cubes yet somehow still isn't cold.

Think I’ve listened to that Geese album 500 times

They took over as the premier skate when I was about 10 years old. So many people got them. I think the next big thing was Nike skates, then Mission skates, but not near the same level.

Absurd price but damn they look so good

I just googled it and apparently CCM have brought back that design... but of course at about 1200 dollars

Is Minten wearing Super Tacks from 1996?

Leafs are a wagon

Haven't been paying attention to preseason at all but is this the lineup for tonight? Because it seems quite good

every AI ad is like

“hey gemini, what would i have for lunch?”

and then the phone is like

“sandwich”

and the guy is like

“wow”

McDavid 18x5 with the Leafs is what I'm hearing. There is chatter.

That Stolarz deal is great for the team but I can see why he'd sign it given the uncertainty around his injuries. But most importantly it fits with the McDavid Plan.

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee. You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year?

How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

this exists it is called thinking

Push

Kinda seems like McDavid is going to Toronto in 10 months. Don’t really say the stuff he’s saying unless you’re seeing it through to UFA.

O Dog when the Leafs miss the playoffs: Oh big surprise, all the standings nerds are complaining about Berube’s style! The wins geeks are ruining hockey

Grabbed another couple overdue must-haves

From the NYT newsletter: • "Alien: Earth," now in its first season, continues the half-century-old "Alien" franchise. But the true horrors aren't ravenous xenomorphs anymore; they're tech companies.

When you’re the paper of record and have definitely understood the franchise up until this point

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

1. leafs
2. buds
3. toronto

Yeah not to act all loony but it’s hard to reconcile that posted video with the one from this morning

Jesus, that defence, another year older, is a bit scary

But wouldn’t he have signed elsewhere by now? Seems like they have a handshake in place

I don't know if they can move Domi but in this lineup he really isn't much of a fit.

Haven't looked at much Leafs-related in a while but it seems like opening night is going to be something like this, which seems alright? I'm assuming they move off Jarnkrok for Roslovic soon

Knies-Matthews-Roslovic
Macceli-Tavares-Nylander
Domi-Roy-McMann
Joshua-Laughton-Lorentz

Yeah I hear ya, I think it’s the rewatchability element that is really low.
