How The Columbus Blue Jackets And Calgary Flames Can Work Together To Honour Johnny Gaudreau
YouTube video by Locked On Blue Jackets How The Columbus Blue Jackets And Calgary Flames Can Work Together To Honour Johnny Gaudreau

On what would have been Johnny Gaudreau’s 32nd birthday, I wanted to once again share an idea one of my listeners had for how the #CBJ and the #Flames could honour his legacy. Give it a watch:

the other thing that shocked me about commercials in the US is the blatant BUY A FORD, ITS BETTER THAN A TOYOTA type ads, because in the UK you’re not allowed to mention other brands in your commercials, but the medication one is by far the most unhinged

there should be a medal similar in honour as the victoria cross but it should be given to someone who REALLY doesn’t want to go to the gym and does anyway

the commercials for prescription medication remain insane to me though, speaking as someone who spent a fair amount of time in the US in 2021-24

i just had to read the word “unalived” in a traditionally published book by an established author in his late forties, tiktok has so many crimes to answer for

see also: the supreme court ruling is bad because it might affect CIS WOMEN, i understand your logic but we should actually be against it because it affects trans people, we matter and we deserve the same rights as cis people, something is not bad just because it might affect cis ppl

i get it, but i am so fucking tired of the “what if she was CIS argument”, as if her actually being trans would then mean this bigot has a single leg to stand on

reminder that even if the m+s employee WAS trans she would still not deserve the outpouring of hatred and bigotry coming her way

idk maybe i’m biased but surely a johnny gaudreau cover would have been a slam dunk, PR wise?

it is so nhl to announce matthew tkachuk as the nhl 26 cover literally the day after he’s announced as signing the trump letter to get men out of women’s sports
