I have been listening to Maron for more than a decade. Besides having great conversations, he was the first public figure I knew who was open about his struggles with anxiety, which helped me with my struggles tremendously. I will miss WTF so much.

Tomorrow is the final episode of the show!

Been hosting my family's thanksgiving for more than a decade. All vegan affair. Tourtiere, onions, mash, cranberries, carrots, green beans, dressing, brussels.

When I was a high school lad, my friends and I enjoyed terrible sci fi. Zardoz is not good. There are some memable moments and quotable lines, but it's not good. There are no terrible connotations.

God damn, when I saw the giant head I thought "I should probably try to work a Zardoz joke here"

Three points is three points. But that game was still not super inspiring from the perspective of trying to get back into the top three.

I can't complain that the subs are predictable this week.

Look I have both a Blackstenius shirt and a Russo shirt, but I don't like Russo in the ten, at all. Not one bit.

Also, let Olivia play the full game.

Also, is Kelly more injured than we think?

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 14h

Yep, exact same thought. Went up, totally switched off, Brighton has looked dangerous. This team used to score four goals at home, and now seems to totally go to nap mode when they're up by one.

Scoring goals! A thing we can do!

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 15h

Yeah it's not good. Chelsea looks less gooder than they were last year, but United is being annoying.

It's Arsenal Women matchday, a day which used to fill me with joy and excitement and now fills me with foreboding and dread. Come on, you Gunners!

(no, seriously. Come on. Please, come on).

Can't remember the last time I watched a Gotham game, live nonetheless! Three or four weeks. I mean, I don't expect much against KC, but come on, you bats!

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 2d

Damn. I remember when they cancelled the 2015 world series. It sucked because I was pretty sure the Jays were the best team in baseball that year.

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 2d

Watch the Tigers?

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 2d

Speaking of live music, SUGAR just started an instagram page and mailing list. Which. Holy shit, is Sugar coming back!?!

Looks like I'm going to see one of the Rush reunion shows!

“They’re acting like this is their World Series” is my favourite cope because are they acting like this is their World Series or are they acting like they dismantled a team in a series they were unanimously picked to lose despite beating their asses all year and finishing as the best team in the AL

Fell asleep on the couch during the sixth. Very, very excited that the Jays are going to the ALCS!

The difference between MAGA and people like Newsom is that Newsom will go out of his way to make life impossible for trans people while holding a Pride-themed fundraiser for his campaign.

Fuck your “vote blue no matter who” bullshit. I will never vote for someone who doesn’t think I deserve basic human rights

Sports are bad.

What I have been able to watch has not been encouraging.

Managed to get the game in Canada. Since there is no rights holder, its on the UEFA website. I would very much like it if we could not lose this game.

Tim Fowler @timdhfowler.bsky.social · 5d

What's very annoying is Disney seems to have the rights in a *tonne* of markets. UK. AU. A lot of Europe. Paramount has them in USA, but they share a parent company, right?

It just seems like there was some reason why they wouldn't pay for Canada, though they pay for most of the rest of the world
