I love it when the Leafs play the Flames because I get to remember that period when Flames fans were writing fanfiction about Willy wanting desperately to “come home” and play for them

I caaaaaan’t sit through any more bike lane discourse that presupposes you can’t cycle in Toronto “for half the year” because it’s too cold. Toronto has the mildest bitch baby winters there are! Please be soooo serious

No one who was otherwise going to stay home has ever been convinced by a sanctimonious PLEASE VOTE post but that goes triple for Bluesky, which has got to have the highest concentration of voting adults anywhere on the internet

This is in no way a defence of the NHL’s general homophobia but I do think that a lot of people who are mad at them for not embracing Heated Rivalry are overlooking how weird and slippery it would be for the league to go all-in on what we all know is RPF of two guys who are very much still active

Why are we on the jumbotron

Not only did the City have to lock replies, the wife of Stephen Miller, Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, took the time to mock the move. We have people, including a local tech leader, throwing the city under the bus for American culture war nonsense.

The checked swing call looked a lot more reasonable on the overhead angle, but also I’m cheering for the Brewers so I don’t care.

Every year I gotta sit through these speeches on A rEtUrN tO fUnDaMeNtALS and contact baseball and how This Team Is Different and homers don’t win games in the playoffs and every year the biggest hits in the playoffs arrrrrrrrrre…?

All these ludicrous outs on the basepaths are so satisfying after the endless speeches about how these teams Play Baseball The Way It’s Meant To Be Played and how they’re the best fundamentals teams in history etc.

Last week I ordered something from the Gap and now Old Navy is emailing me in English and the Gap is emailing me in French?

I can’t prove it but I bet Will secretly always dreamed of lying half asleep in bed and hearing his girlfriend whisper “Connor McDavid has 30 points in 10 games???”

Hockey fans who call them the Maple Leafs are so weird to me. Why are you calling them by their full government name

I’d be enjoying the Marchenko experience a lot more if we didn’t keep seeing videos of Knies looking like he wants to kill himself

Crossing at Church and Carlton while someone waiting a few cars back to turn leans on the horn, rolls down the window, and screams RUN THEM OVER

The most annoying part of every municipal election cycle is people who have never lived in Montreal trying to tell me about Toronto vs. Montreal. Leave me alone!!!

Can’t PERSONALLY relate to anyone saying that the performance from Sens fans tonight has shown them that they’re not hating hard enough

My friend is telling me about someone he knows who has her whole house wired with nanny cams so she can see and speak to her kids at all times even when she travels. Can you imagine what growing up in the panopticon even at HOME is doing to kids

It’s always so funny to encounter a fan of a team I never think about who has a blinding hatred of the Leafs. Whole other worlds out there!

I had to mute “one year ago today” so I’d stop seeing posts about the World Series run. It makes me too sad, I can’t relate to the people who want to relive it like this.

Getting pretty tired of being told we need to take various white nationalist projects seriously because Alberta and Quebec are mommy’s special little boys.
