Connection, not isolation, and finding stuff to do together for the personal and the greater good. This should be the way forward for progressive politicians, from the NY Times. "A Little Noted Element Propelled Mamdani’s Rise: Gen Z Loneliness"

I grew up near Windsor so the Pistons were my closest home team. I took a brief hiatus to cheer for the Raptors during their championship run (and made this image 😂) but I'm still a Pistons fan first.

“School boards are far from perfect. Elections often have low voter participation, and boards are sometimes mired in controversy. But the same can be said for any governing body in a democracy,” said Kristina Llewellyn, a McMaster University history professor. 1/18

Hack-a-Stew but don't leave him open for 3. 😂

Took Lauren to see Of Monsters and Men in Toronto last night but one of the singers lost their voice! They played 4 songs without her then told us to keep our tickets and cancelled the show. Kind of a bummer but the songs they did sounded great so hopefully they can reschedule soon!

If you live in Ontario, we're privileged to still have free access to flu vaccines & Covid boosters.

Get them! I just did!

I always thought Descent Into Mystery was the coolest song. Maximum Elfman. 😂

Throwback to Salsa in the Square at the end of August. The best weather!

A jubilant group of Toronto Blue Jays baseball players celebrating a victory, with one player being lifted and cheered by teammates wearing gray uniforms with blue accents and caps, in front of a large, excited crowd in the stadium.

On this day in 1992, the Blue Jays defeated the Altanta Braves 4-3 to win the World Series four games to two. It was the first time the World Series was won by a Canadian team.
Blue Jays' catcher Pat Borders was named the World Series MVP.

Ajay Mitchell closed out the half last night on a 4-point play where his hand was fouled by the defender flying by. It'll be interesting to see how consistent refs are on smaller high five fouls, not just obvious 3 point fouls.

Seeing him pass the ball, even just inbounding, made me nervous every single time.

I wonder if the new shooting foul rule where hitting someone's hand after the shot is going to be impactful. A lot of big guys slap hands defending little jump hooks and floaters down low because they're too late to get the ball. But if the ball is already gone, is it really that bad of a foul?

37 years old. Wild.

SGA is a human slinky. Nobody moves around the court like he does.

My feed is all NBA talk and it's amazing. Thanks, starter packs!

This Rockets/Thunder season opener has been an awesome game. NBA is back!
