Can I cite a bluesky post in a commentary chapter on Zechariah 14?

Christine Sinclair rarely spoke about her mom during Sinclair's iconic soccer career. In a new animated short film (narrated by @vancityreynolds.bsky.social), the depth of feeling is clear. Sinclair didn't figure it out until the end, but she played for her mom. www.thestar.com/sports/socce...

Not sure how often Jeff Hoffman can close out a game while throwing maybe three strikes total, but we'll take it #bluejays

I'm sure everyone had complete faith in Jeff Hoffman there

chet holmgrem is over 7 feet tall and ridiculously coordinated. Wembanyama makes him look like a giraffe on roller skates.

the amount of Wembanyama plays that just elicit disbelieving giggles from the announcers is hilarious

September 2, 1990: FINALLY “Where Were You” Moment. Dave Stieb’s no-hitter: https://youtu.be/yF7U4ev2hMY

helped out with my son's 13U baseball practice yesterday because all the assistant coaches were away. Woke up with a blister on my thumb and a strain in my hamstring. The baseball spirit is willing, but the flesh is contemplating its mortality ⚾

holy crap, Texas Tech-Ole Miss softball. 8 runs in the bottom of the 7th to tie it, including a grand slam one pitch after the ump probably missed strike three on a 3-2 count.

For any 1980s Blue Jays fans needing a nostalgia hit: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIF9...

best version of this gimmick I've seen is Victor Borge's "inflationary language" sketch.

Need a plan

that escalated, uh, medium quickly

All academic writers secretly yearn to emulate Sir Terry Pratchett when it comes to footnotes

Jack Armstrong with the Tom Cheek-Joe Carter reference. Bit of a difference between a World Series winning HR and a first round game 6 game-winner, but I'll allow it. #raptors 🏀

I'm 50/50 on train vs. car for getting to the Dome from Hamilton. The drive in can be a major pain but I know how ot get to a parking lot about 20 min walk away. Having a car on the way out (for an evening game) gets me home much faster. Would NEVER try to drive in during a Gardiner closure

Pistons-Magic apparently drawing inspiration from Raptors-Cavs yesterday

Broadcaster after Jamal Cain throws down a hellacious dunk over Jalen Duran: "I don't think Abel had it that bad." well played sir, well played 🏀

love typing in an address in downtown Toronto and my GPS basically going "LOL"

This should be Pretty Good

Man Finally Good Enough At New Hobby To Understand How Bad He Is At It

A driving range, but for practicing curling 🥌

We've replaced the 2026 Toronto Blue Jays with these guys. Let's see if anyone notices

surprised this didn't lead to a mutiny

A student actually went with pretty much this strategy on one of my exams this week

Coincidenally, NPR is now giving the famously loquacious Kawhi Leonard 50 million to host a podcast that will never record a single episode.

Also, the premise of an entire Good Place episode

First Wednesday without curling :( 🥌

I wrote about Dianna Russini, the constant pressure female reporters face to prove they aren't sleeping with sources (plus the pressure we do get from sources to get involved with them), and why all of this is so uncomfortable to talk about. Gift link:

nice to see Norman Powell still killing it out there

Ever since I read stories about rumours that the Masters pipes in bird sounds...I can't stop hearing every chirp and cheep with suspicion

Been listening to this man call curling for 30+ years. His style was to be earnest almost to the point of corniness: simple, direct, sincere. He poked fun at himself better than anyone, but could make simply counting "1, 2, 3..." sound momentous. Make the final... one iconic career 🥌

TSN's Vic Rauter signing off for the last time.

wow wow wow wow wow. Dunstone just pulled off a Houdini act thanks to the Italian skip doing the one thing he couldn't do 🥌

lengthy set up for a terrible pun (complimentary)

Wild curling game last night in which we started with a steal of 3, then gave up 6!!, then scored 3 to level the game. From there, wound up on the right side of a 12-9 win against the one team in the club we had never beaten before. Nice to have one last high note as the season wraps up🥌

Oh no, the Masyns are here! Preparing for the oncoming onslaught of Jaydens, Braydens, Caydens, Aidens, and Braxtons

fortunately Okamoto is better at hitting than he is at picking when to challenge #bluejays

stringing multiple hits together is very difficult in this era of baseball...unless you're the Toronto Blue Jays ⚾

www.usatoday.com/story/sports... Dumb way to end a game. Phenomal job by the headline writer.

reminds me of this

Someone just read Foucault's Pendulum, I guess

KERRI EINARSON ONIONS THIS IS MARCH

I tried to write a joke about Xeno, but never quite got it fully across the bridge.

In the same way the Toronto Blue Jays and my son's 13u team would have a battle
