You: "I'm only 35, I have my whole life ahead of me."
Sports Broadcaster: "There comes the oldest player in the league. He's 32. A miracle."

I have vague memories of my Grandfather's joy during '93 and treasure them. There was never a bigger fan of any Toronto team than him and, despite how deeply he lived and died with the Leafs, he loved the Jays above all 💙 #Jays #BlueJays

Catelli @catelli.bsky.social · 9h

Holy Christ.

I remember how good 92, 93 felt. Those years I had no doubt.

This year... Oh boy did I have doubts.

And they pulled it off despite it all. AL fucking Champions.

goddammit autocorrect. why in the hell does it become more shit every year? and, yes, it took three tries for it to stop autocorrecting 'shit'. but I can't set an alias for it cause I also need to say 'shot' because hockey!

It's actually really fucked to sell a pet feeder that doesn't even have the schedule stored on the device.

Oh so they nuke Virginia and thousands of animals around the world just starve? That was your plan here?

> GO UP LADDER

I do not understand 'go up'

> USE LADDER

Use ladder with what?

> CLIMB LADDER

You climb the ladder

> LOOK

You are in a museum gallery. It is dark, but a display case glints in the dim light.

> EXAMINE DISPLAY CASE

It's full of jewels!

> PICK UP JEWELS

You take the jewels.

2-2 tie, same team again tomorrow night. Sadly made the call to not play the last ~5 since we were up 2-0 and my lightheadedness was getting too close to severe. No point burning myself for all of Monday's game, right? Ah well. Bad bounces happen and you roll with it. #JennHockey 🥅🏒

Pretty please read this excellent thread by Ted! Journalism can be great, except when it's awful, and he explains the thought process here with the same mood we're all feeling.

bonus: includes the necessary (to me) gaming reference 👍🏼

Somewhere along the way in the pursuit of objectivity, the language of commercial news reporting became unnecessarily obfuscative. "What appeared to be an A.I.-generated video" like, no, it's A.I. Just use your eyes. "Dumps brown liquid." It's shit. Just use your eyes.

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 1d

President Trump posted what appeared to be an A.I.-generated video on social media showing him wearing a crown and flying a jet labeled “King Trump” that dumps brown liquid on protesters. He shared the video on Saturday, the same day that protesters participated in mass “No Kings” demonstrations.

I have this idea for a video game where there's a fast travel option but every time you fast travel there's a 12% chance instead of taking you to your destination it drops you off in an entirely different place and then there's an ultrahard on-foot section. I call it "the Toronto Transit Commission"

there is no one on this earth you should respect less than a politician who claims Canadian cities are terrifying war zones. like awwww, are you afraid of Halifax, Nova Scotia? it's okay, little buddy, that cannon they fire downtown is a show for tourists, it isn't real

ffs. If I did this to any of my goalies, ever, I'd pray for a thousand year period cause I know I'd be dead back in the room.

Why is this so hard for NHLers? Someone needs to do a supercut of how often this happens 🤦🏽‍♀️

more self-inflicted problems harming the Leafs

the shot is deflected, but Stolarz can't stop what he can't see

he also can't stop if he's being knocked into by his own guys
