Singing INDIANAAAAA like CALIFORNIAAAAAA in the OC opening credits

I’m obsessed with the Bears. The most fun frauds in history.

I can't romanticize 2016. I was living in Montreal.

Hockey fans who paid attention to baseball for the first time this year should probably sit out conversations about contracts and salaries

I am fascinated by these people I know whose parents (amicably!) divorced when we were kids but never got over feeling guilty about it and are still bankrolling their travel and buying them whatever expensive things they want and can’t afford well into their 30s.

A three year deal on a guy whose legs are aging like Bo’s seems CRAZY (for him)

Obviously it sucks to go all the way to game seven of the World Series and still get used for leverage that winter, but I don’t think arguing with the kinds of mouth breathers who chant USA USA at the ballpark is going to make you feel better

As always, the worst part of the Jays being relevant is being forced to listen to random Americans who’ve never set foot here talk about Toronto. Get out of my house!!!

Anyone surprised Marchand went to the White House has obviously never been to Hammonds Plains (lucky)

Already want to die thinking about the length of the next lockout.

I’m not going to make fun of anyone for getting their hopes up but like… duh

It’s still fuck Mitch Marner and the horse he rode in on

Is it boring to have lived in the same place since 2017? Maybe! But I DO love running into my longtime neighbours and catching up while we do our laundry 💖

I can’t believe how funny it is seeing people romanticize 2016 all over Instagram, a year which at the time everyone treated like a unique historical horror

Every day’s a good day for Francois Legault to go fuck himself

God the Canadian teams SUCK this year what a beautiful time to be alive

Kevin Patullo’s main contribution to my life was a lot of really funny tweets this week and for that I am thankful 🫡

There are lots of beautiful moments in life, like opening your texts with someone to dunk on Aaron Rodgers and seeing the three dots indicating he’s midway through his own text doing the same

I took a screenshot of my best friend texting me that her toddler was singing my name to himself while falling asleep, right below a text from me saying “I’m going to kill myself” and I think that’s beautiful

People should be more embarrassed to name drop, bring back shame.

If you’re asking Gemini how to safely jumpstart your car you deserve to get electrocuted

I’m not saying Drake Maye isn’t for real but these Patriots have got to be the clearest paper tiger in YEARS right

Guess it’s My Bears next week

WHY

Dude how bad are the Canucks

Wearing a mask on the train on my way to spend the weekend with a toddler who’s in daycare feels like a metaphor for something

The air being this warm while the sun is this low in the sky at 2:45 PM is freaking me out man

Sooooo many people sharing that “my new favourite thing is asking straight men if they’ve seen Heated Rivalry yet 🤣🤣🤣” post and I’m sorry but it just feels like a relic from the internet circa 2010 or something.

It’s the least of America’s problems but bitch I love having to fill out multiple identical customs on multiple websites and apps just to send my friend a birthday gift. Normal fucking country.

New personal worst: Was so preoccupied at work that I forgot to eat lunch

The Phillies’ Instagram comments are full of people who think that hiring Mattingly means they’re signing Bo. I’m so sure he can’t wait to follow The Guy Who Broke The Jays’ Offence out of town.

Personally I think it’s great that Canada’s first meaningful cultural export in ages is Sid/Ovi RPF with the serial numbers filed off. Normal country.

We are all stuck living in the “but dogs can’t PLAY basketball” tweet forever.

I think it’s stupid that people are always tripping over themselves to say CANADIANS! YOU HAVE BEEN TRICKED INTO THINKING THE REST OF THE WORLD CARES ABOUT THE WORLD JUNIORS! no I haven’t, I can like things without it being because everyone else also likes them

Deeply appreciate that while a bunch of brands are killing their meat substitutes, Farm Boy is doubling down.

I try not to have super strong opinions about Team Canada roster construction after the 2014 Olympic team but like. Drew Doughty???

I love when Uber drivers tell me it’s “not allowed” for me to bring my silent cat in her carrier and that I need to get an Uber Pet which takes twice as long, costs twice as much, and is CLEARLY actually intended for dogs.

I’m not saying southern cities shouldn’t have hockey but I AM saying they shouldn’t have outdoor hockey games. The Miami Winter Classic couldn’t possibly look more like shit. Ugly as sin.

I feel like people also misinterpret the news that the flu shot is not optimally matched with the strain going around this year to mean that the flu shot is worthless. It’s still better than no flu shot!

One of the nicest feelings in the world is when a friend who’s learning to knit calls me for help!!!! I am many things but it turns out that I am first & foremost a big sister

I was reading the comments on a story about the Leafs today (I know, I know) and it is mind boggling how many people out there still think they get preferential treatment from the league.

I understand that the US sucks up all the oxygen in every room they’re in but it is sooooo weird to see Americans who aren’t hockey fans just taking it for granted that they’re the main characters of Heated Rivalry and actual NHL discourse.

I was absolutely born in the right century, I love doing the Globe crossword on FaceTime with my sister and pressing play on LOTR at the same time as my friends who live in New York!!!

People always act like the money is the most unbelievable historical part of It’s a Wonderful Life but it’s actually a man having nice handwriting

The theme of my year has just been that I am not patriotic but neither am I equipped to handle this level of American discourse on Canada

THE PAST TENSE OF CAST IS CAST

Wellness check on these people

Between Heated Rivalry and the Jays it’s been a big year for my normal friends caring about my sports in a way I don’t know what to do with

Cheering for the Bears because they have the best logo in sports

As a sports fan my main hobby is spending hours every week watching games that piss me off so perhaps I shouldn’t judge people whose hobby is parasocial celebrity worship but like, wow.
