Hello from this sleepy little saw-whet owl we saw on our walk today.

C'est le but! #GoHabsGo

Such horseshit to have to fight due to a clean hit. Thankfully they made Chicago pay for the instigator penalty. #GoHabsGo

Goats on the Roof at Coombs and the beach at Qualicum Beach from this rainy morning.

More opportunities to hear Pierre Houde the better.

Another very well done season. Looking forward to what's next for the 11th Street Kids. Please don't leave them hanging too long.

What a way for #Peacemaker to end the season. I sure hope the crew will be back for one more round.

The #Habs are looking much better than a 1W-1L record in two games. It's going to be a fun season watching this team. #GoHabsGo

I don't know, but the voting committee members may want to stay off boats in open water.

You and Chris on a project already had me sold, but a P.I. who punches nazis too? Oh hell yeah!

Add in the word 'Unredacted' in front of Epstein in the below post and then we can sign off on it. 👇

I propose a deal: Trump gets the Nobel Peace Prize in exchange for the Epstein files

Whoah, Bruce Dickinson singing the American national anthem before the Kings/Avs game. 👀

Or find a way to watch without dropping a lot of cash. 😆

How and where to watch the Canadiens on TV for 2025-26 season

It's the last year of the Rogers-NHL deal. But it won't be the last time we have to tell you where the games are.

I use this gesture all the time to tell leafs fans that they're number 1. 😂

Jared Book @jaredbook.bsky.social · 4d

I can relate here. I once gave a thumbs up and two men outside thought it was a middle finger and they tried to open the door of my cab to get me.

I locked the door. And it may have scared me but it didn’t cost me $250k at least.

Jerry Jones said his accidental gesture was part of an exchange with Dallas Cowboys fans, not New York Jets fans, sitting in front of him.

When someone says a movie villain is too cartoonish, direct them to the last 15 years of real life.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Wouldn't it be a weird coincidence if this were the alternative earth McDonald's?

It’s remarkable that despite a new owner, GM and coach that the Ottawa Senators remain such a bush league organization. Cousins just tried to break Demidov’s wrist after all that. Hodgson, MacEwan etc all delivering cheap shots all night. Embarrassing.

Good to see Kirby rewarded on the scoresheet, he's been noticeably working hard on his 200 foot game all night. #GoHabsGo

What about tremendously obese presidents?

Hegseth: "It all starts with physical fitness and appearance. If the secretary of war can do regular hard PT, so can every member of our joint force. Frankly, it's tiring to look out at combat formations and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals."
