My annual scavenger hunt involves trying to find marzipan in my grocery store.

@Listened to Episode 16 of @thisamericanlife.org today, from 1997. They started out talking to four “moderate” Republicans who were worried that their nominee, Bob Dole wasn’t moderate enough. Sweet summer children, is all I have to say. I would love if they could find those four people today.

Starbucks workers in the US are on strike. Think twice before you pop in to grab a peppermint mocha. Respect the picket line and help workers secure a fair deal. Worker rights anywhere are worker rights everywhere. jacobin.com/2025/11/star...

Had serious #NewYorkMarathon FOMO today. Had a spot in the race but withdrew because I just can’t travel to that country. Did my long run thinking about my other favourite marathon major, especially after hearing the Illinois governor’s comments to the teachers.

Put it in the Munch Museum!

Hope is not a sentimental optimism that things will somehow work out; hope is the subversive conviction that injustice and death will not have the final word and acting on that belief.

Go Expos

Well, we're all Jays fans now. #BeatLA

What the hell is happening?

It’s marathon Sunday in Portland, BTW

Expos now and forever but any team based in Canada beating a team based in the US has the capacity to make Donald Trump sad.

Don’t ask why I look like a rabid armadillo. Donation 132.

Charlie Pierce remains a gift to sports writing, and so here is a gift link to that gift. (Red Sox suck, because it needs to be said.)

Dan Quayle lied to me!

Even Duolingo is doom scrolling.

Irony: that bollocks isn’t in the list

The choice to not dance on graves looks better on the dancer than the grave.

Slightly diminish a band: The Reasonably Satisfied Dead

If I read the tone on Xitter correctly, we’re about three days away from some guys driving trucks all the way to Nova Scotia to go for a walk in the woods.

Heard at a local Dairy Queen: “What do you have that’s dairy-free?”

The best thing about expecting nothing is you always get what you expect

It will never stop surprising me to know that Mary Walsh was in Mad Men.

I’ve had a spiritual awakening, by which I mean my dog’s farts - which are evidence that Satan exists - woke me up.

Today I learned there is a town in Quebec called St. Louis de Ha! Ha!.

Why are cats?

Since the day he was conceived. Bad hockey takes are bad.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, or Marvel

After that clown car event in Washington yesterday, my fellow #marathon runners are demanding an apology from the people who hold up signs saying “worst parade ever.

Alphonso Davies sat directly in front of me on a 13-minute flight between Vancouver and Victoria. It was shortly before his transfer from Whitecaps FC to Bayern Munich.

So many Dennises in the comments today. #thronespeech

If you truly love God then treat your neighbour well, treat your workers, your prisoners well. In this way we will no longer have the hatred and violence that is so prevelant in our time —St Oscar Romero, 5th Sunday of Easter (C) 1977 #StOscarRomero

Hey Siri, can you win a game without recording a shot on goal?

I was paying attention. I was listening. I believed you. I did what you told me to do and I became who you told me to become And that's why I've found myself standing here wondering how you've become someone I no longer recognize, johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/you-raised...

The Liberals have wrecked the economy so bad the Conservatives can’t afford decent actors.

Guys, I think the #Habs might not be a Cup favourite this year.

This is worth your time. I’ve been thinking about Francis for the last day or so, and this galvanized some of my thoughts. It strikes me he was the first pope in my lifetime to consider that his first mission was to people instead of protecting the church. 1/
